Well that was fun, Dale! I see that we have VERY similar tastes in guitar tones. Dig that John Landgraff overdrive. Like I'm gonna afford one of those anytime soon. The G string on the green Tele hangs on a little better than the rest, no?

What is that figure in E at the first position that you play? The guy from the Tweed Deluxe Speed shop demonstrates his amps with that one (at 1:41 in the video below) on an ES-335. I can't place it other than his demo.



Gotta have a Strat for "Free Ride," eh? I don't particularly lust after Strats either, but had to have one... or two. And Dano? They didn't even take themselves seriously until Jimmy used one so don't feel badly...

Clint Eastwood would be satisfied with the last selection you played.

Enjoyed the vids.

Of the acoustics my favourite was the Will Renshaw (?) "Trinity". Nice strumming tone and a beautiful, liquid sound when played fingerstyle.

Electrics: hard to pass on by a Collings I35, or some nice Tele's but the RS Blaze looks and sounds fantastic. Even then, it has to be the baritone for me. That deep, soulful tone is hypnotic and - since I've never had a baritone - I'd love playing around with a new sound.

Sounds like Billy Squier's "Lonely is the Night" riff to me.

Great collection you've got there.

Really nice varied collection of guitars.

To me the tonal standout of the bunch was the PRS P-90.

If I had to choose just one guitar from your collection to gig with, it would be the PRS.

I could work with that for the cleans and overdriven tones.

I really need to look into one of those for sure.

Thanks for bringing the PRS to my attention.

Great demo of your guitars, thanks sir. Could listen to lots more of these demos fellow AGFers. Quick mention that I heard an amazing Les Paul yesterday played in a cover band. Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty Custom Shop. So versatile it was. Owner said it cost him 8000.00 Canadian.

Thanks for putting these videos together -- Very enjoyable! Love the JJ Bari and Ice Blue Tele! The faded red 335 has an incredibly sweet tone!

Thanks for taking the time to make an informative and (secularly) inspirational video of your electric collection. I know nothing about making videos, but wanted to mention that the playing parts, while well-mic'd/great, were, on my computer, noticeably louder than the talking parts, so to prevent waking the wife in the next room, I was constantly adjusting the volume level playing/speaking. Just fyi - still a great vid.
