Thanks folks 😊 - Zábava
My ex-wife, Plaintiff, once asked me: “Who do you love more...me, or your guitar?” I said “ Well, that depends....which guitar are we talking about?”
Love it! I laughed out loud at that. Read it out to my wife..... 🤣
You were married to Plaintiff, too?? Man, that bisch sure gets around...😂
I could never truly love an inanimate object. But then again I’d never want to spend every waking second with an animate one. (335 for me)
Haha
That gave me a laugh.
Everybody's a teenager again when they start looking at guitars!
Your Dad has a real passion
He's gonna stay young forever!
Thanks to you and your Dad for sharing all these gems.
Thank you N McG 👍. He’ll be pleased to read your comment.
Now this gentleman has impeccable taste. Awesome stuff, and I love the joy that he clearly takes in having them.
Thanks Stratboy999. Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍
How Lucky to have a so cool dad.
Indeed! Thank you Norm, his influence on me runs very deep.
Give your Dad a hug every chance you get. His enthusiasm is contagious. (It got you, right?) Thanks for sharing! This made my Sunday morning.
Thank you Johnny, what a lovely comment 👍
Now I just learn you can never have enough guitars🌹🌈🎷🎷
I don't play myself but I love looking at vintage guitars. They are works of art. Great collection. Thanks.
I have 2 squire strats...and I love them!..
Everytime he opens the next case i'm like whoaaaaaa😆😆😆❤❤❤
My Lord, what a beautiful collection and your dad is a real class act.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, two great guitar players there ! Such classic guitars and gentlemen !
Ah, thank you Ron, delighted to read such a nice comment 👍
@@paulstaffordcook8799 I've lived in Nashville my entire life and played guitar here. But your style is more "Nashville" than most any player here now. A true honor to see you and your Dad with all his great guitars. Truly inspirational. Thanks to both of you !
Cheers Ron! Now there’s a bucket list item for me.... To visit Nashville 🤣. One day, one day. Want to visit Gruhn’s guitars! And I want to just sit on a street corner with a coffee and just soak it all up. Maybe see if I can spot me a guitar hero walking by, like a Tom Bukovac !
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Come on down brother, ill give you the tour ! You are always welcome !
Big big RESPECT to your dad and his amazing guitars
Thank you Mitch. My Dad will be delighted his collection is getting such nice comments 👍
I love your Dad's enthusiasm going through these guitars and I think that Gibson acoustic sounds incredible!
Cheers Scott, delighted you enjoyed the vid 👍
Yeah very responsived Gibson accoustic i ever heard in my life ✌
I have the same guitar and yes I can confirm it sounds good
Amazingly Beautiful guitars ! Each one is pristine , like mint condition ! Dad must also love his guitars !You can just hear the appreciation in his voice ! He is a proud owner of a world class collection !
Big respect to your mom. Wives are usually the roadblock to a fine collection such as this.
Thanks Wade, I hear you 🤣. Cheers for watching
If the wife moans,buy a drum set
Never ever listen to her.
Down the road, these are investments. Simple.
Sven you are so right...my bank balance is rubbish but I've got some nice guitars in my man cave that I can enjoy now...that I'll enjoy until I get old...some might say I'm already old now at 52 lol..but I get more pleasure from them than the 10 k I'd have in the bank if I'd stuck to a cheap strat copy ...live now play later
Paul Cartwright i’m 49.
I ALMOST sold my first one.
Well, i did, to one of my top5 best friends, but i was cleaning it before taking it to him and in between that he had something to do and then 1 day passed and...next time we talked he wasn’t thrilled and say let’s cancel and i said cool.
Years later(2017) my dad died of cancer. And that first guitar he bought it for me for a bday. He actually went with me to the music store(this was in the 1980s. Gibsons, fender, kramers, hamers, ibanez... store had them all) and said pick the one you think will be right for you and as a beginner. I chose a red hondo h-700 all-star. $250. Still have it today and i will NEVER ever sell it!
I thought I had a nice guitar collection but, having watched this, I guess I was wrong!! This collection is off the scale cool. I can't stop salivating!!
Your Dad has awesome taste in guitars! Good for him!!
Thank you for this tour - what a beautiful bunch of guitars! So much to love!
What a collection! Your dad seems like a champion too:)
Thank you Craig! Appreciated
That’s a great collection and your Dad is clearly one of he coolest Dads around
Wow!!! What a beautiful collection. Very nice 👍
Thanks Lewis 😀

Thank you Tom, delighted you enjoyed our wee video. We recently played them all and recorded the results czcams.com/video/zTGhsr33hJQ/video.html
Wow 2 things first : This guy had a good job, he also had a very understanding wife. The great thing about collecting guitars these days is it's like collecting art, the prices only go one way.
Awesome collection, your dad is so enthusiastic, lots of respect
What a collection. Your Dad has great taste.
Stunningly beautiful, again and again. Thanks for sharing them
Wow, just WOW!!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful guitar collection with us Mr. Cook.
Thanks James, yes it was a joy to see them all yesterday. Cheers 👍

More than can say...it's more than a feeling....treasure of life...and next generations 4 ever...good to see ...thanks for posted.
Remarkable taste your father has. I can't remember how many times I said 'WOW" when he open the case. Thank you both for sharing.
Love the passion, I'm the same with drums. Some things in life are pure pleasure 👊 thanks for letting us see your collection.
Truly an amazing collection of guitars ! All beautiful and special !
Just lovely unbelievable
Great collection thank you for sharing
I loved watching that, what a great collection, and your dad seems a lovely bloke.
Thank you robbogpz900 ! Delighted you liked the clip, cheers 😀
Thank you for sharing this wonderful collection of stunning guitars 😀
Your dad is a man after my own heart...you can never have enough Guitars!!!! What a great collection!
I'm about the same age as your dad and I too am guitar mad. We will both have similar memories of cheap 50s guitars with ads in the paper for them costing 6gns on easy payments. Drooling over guitar catalogues from Ivor Mairants and Hofner. Then living through the sixties as teenagers, what a time! I've collected a few guitars over the years too but not quite like your dad's. Hope he has many more years of enjoyment from that wonderful collection.
Absolute goldmine when you take that from your old man🙏🏻
What a great collection! It’s great you and your dad have a common bond!
What a great video, love the passion shown for these fabulous guitars well done both of you.
It doesn’t matter what the subject is, hearing someone talk so passionately about what they love is always great.
This collection is something else and your dad is cool as fuck.
Peace and love to you both

Wow. What a beautiful collection. His taste in guitars especially got my attention since I love strats and Gretsch guitars. Thank you for sharing. I truly enjoyed this.
Thank you Shaun! Yes, a lovely collection, delighted you enjoyed the vid 👍
Wow absolutely brilliant collection just brilliant
Oh my.. what a wonderful collection...
That is a great collection!
Respect to your dad and even more to your mom for allowing him to gain such a beautiful collection! My collection stopped at 13, and wife too wise now for me to sneak anymore in;)
Incredible collection! In absolute awe of it!
Beautiful! I wish that I could hear a song played on each one!💎
"That's the good thing about the guitar; no matter how good you are, and no matter how long you've had it, you still want to play."
Truer words were never spoken, Mr. Cook!
Thank you Burnwash. And cheers for watching 👍
That was absolutely fascinating. Thanks for posting that. What a collection!
Thank you Marc. Yes, I’d forgotten just how many he has, and just how shiny he keeps them 🤣. Cheers for watching Marc
Thank you that was great. May he continue to an extreme ripe age and continue to enjoy those beautiful guitars.
very impressed here with your dad's collection as well as his exuberance and commentary discussing each guitar... there is passion in his words regarding each specific piece.. thanks very much for sharing, regards.
A stunning collection indeed! Much love and respect to your Father and yourself. As each one came out of its case I said I'll take that one - no wait - that one.... no........ Great stuff guys! Bless you both!
Great to see you and your dad together and share your love for guitars. Amazing collection! Love the Gretsches!
Thanks Jeff! Yes, they remind me of old American cars, just gorgeous and so much presence. My favourite was that old one from the mid 60’s.... it even smelled old, just lovely. Cheers Jeff.
Wow, your dad is really cool and yes, that is an amazing collection! Just incredible.
Wow! What a fantastic collection! Thanks so much for sharing these with us. Cheers.
Shockingly good collection. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you trilogyopus! I’ve told my Dad that his first CZcams appearance seems to have been a hit! Cheers for watching.
yeah, this made me happy, thank you
Thank you Moichido100. My Dad will be delighted that his pride and joy collection is being so admired. 😀
A beautiful collection and one to be proud of!
What a great video. Your Dad has a great collection. I watched the video twice. Thanks for sharing.
I wish we could get a part 2 where you guys light some of them up so we can hear them.
Good idea....! Cheers for watching 👍
Yes! That's a must! I'm sure we'll see a mint condition vintage amp, and/or an old worn one that sounds gorgeous and has a hundred stories to tell. Cheers! 👍
awesome guitar collection how cool it must of been to grow up around this collection.
Yes, I guess it’s no wonder I ended up be a guitar guy 😀
Beatiful collection and equally exquisite taste. Thanks for sharing this art.
I loved the PRS Santana guitar very nice. Again, so glad that a father can share this passion with his son and his son has the passion too! Wonderful, just wonderful.
Thank you MPNNag! Yes, I’m a lucky boy to be able to share that. Cheers 👍
Your Dad has impeccable taste in guitars, and thanks to you both for sharing. It's great to see his excitement as he tells the stories behind some of them. I think we all can relate to that.
Many thanks.
Thank you Don, appreciate your nice comment. 👍
Your dad has good taste in guitars for sure. I was worried what my wife would think if I bought a second guitar. Now I think I will.
Don't worry' it not until you get into double figures that the trouble starts, after that 25 or maybe 35 is not such an issue as they don't see where you have hidden them!
Very very nice guitar collection , along with a bit of history to go along with showing them ! Congrats to your dad and keep up the good work .
Absolutely awesome collection. Thanks for sharing.
Wow that is one awesome guitar collection your Dad has there i love that Stratocaster i never seen one that beautiful in my life its gorgeous.
Thanks Patrick, yes his collection is even larger than I remembered! And just look how shiny they all are 😀. Cheers for watching.
I must say I truly admire the love you both share for lovely guitars along with the true passion. Trying to find propper words to express the warmth this glorious union of father and son sharing what they love together. Semi speechless and much respect from Maine on a chilly winter day.
Cheers,
HW
Loved your comment HW, made me smile. Thanks for watching, enjoy your day 🙏
I'm in love, what a collection. All I can do is dream. Thank you for sharing your fathers collection.
Wow what a bunch of beauties. I mean gorgeous!!!
Beautiful collection, your dads got impeccable taste!
Thank you Andy!
Yes, he clearly had to piece this collection piece at a time one or two a year or something, as each seemed to bring back a different set of memories.
when I saw your strats my heart leapt,i could never afford just one of those,great pleasure looking at them,thank you.
Holy cow your dad's a boss! What a stunning collection he has. What a refreshing and enjoying video that was. Many thanks for your video and for your dad's time for showing us his beautiful collection
Great video Paul 👍👍
Nice comment. All u need to do now is change ur profile picture!( just kidding)👍🏼
Thanks Tottenhamtillidie. Yes, it was a joy to see them all yesterday. Cheers for watching.
Not a big fan of electrics or Gretsch but I was blown away by your dad's enthusiasm. He obviously appreciates them all and although there are quite a few which appear to be very similar he understands the minute differences that make them all very individual.
This collection is just amazing.
Awesome dad! and gorgeous collection) so sad that my parents dont share my passion to music playing( Strat with bounded neck is a dream!
Yes, that Strat was even more beautiful in the flesh... I’ve never seen one quite like that. It’s a Fender “Select” Stratocaster, it has a Mahogany body and a AAA flamed maple top.... maybe I’ll ask my Dad to see if I can borrow it for a CZcams review. Cheers for watching 😀
Sweet child o' mine....what a gorgeous collection! Your wonderful dad is such a nice man, too! Cheers, mate
Thank you for your lovely comment! My Dad will be delighted to read this. 👍
Sir what a wonderful -Amazing collection congrats to you
Beautiful collection, just gorgeous.
Thanks for sharing the joy of owning such a lovely collection of guitars. My wife, an excellent pianist, owns an upright and a Roland keyboard and doesn't see the need for anymore. Unfortunately she applies the same logic to my guitars... a mere 5 is 3 to many! Over the past 50 years I have enjoyed buying, owning, holding and smelling( yes my classical smells lovely!) my guitars as much as I've enjoyed trying to play them and has given me enormous pleasure. Note to young guitarists I regret selling any of my guitars and would love to have them all back. Thanks again and keep collecting!
What a smashing chap your Father is... You both have a very close and strong bond which shines through. An enviable collection worth a 'mint' - I'm sure. For me, the Gretsch guitars won my heart - works of art. The best was that Hofner. Looked online with a view to buying for years back in the early 2000s 😎😎
I’m Paul’s son. That is a very nice thing to say!
@@calgingerbread3526 Hi Cal. Seems like you won the lottery in the family department. Cool Dad and cool grandfather. Of course, non of this guitar collection and playing would exist without the unsung heroines - your Mum and Grand-mum! Are you also following the family thirst for guitars and amps or are you on your own mission in life? Either way, if you follow your heart and dreams you won't regret much. My thang was to travel the world and I sure have done that more than most!
Hi Rocksteady! Yes, I’ll echo my son’s words and thank you for your lovely comment, appreciated. It’s amazing how you get to know your subscribers a little. Even though you’re way over there in Thailand, I feel a little more connected to you (and this wider CZcams / guitar community) as time goes on. Amazing, this world is getting smaller!
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Hi Paul. Cheers. Travelling opens up the mind and heart - much the same as music. Right back at you on how your channel brings people closer together - you only have to look at how I ran into another subscriber while talking Blues Junior and Boss Katana on Facebook.
Rocksteady, I am now a subscriber!
Thanks for the show. Beautiful guitars. Wow, wow, wow !
That is a mint collection. Thank you both for sharing with us.
Jesus that’s one hell of a collection.
Yes, mad isn’t it! Thanks for watching 👍
I noticed your dad has books that seem to be music related. I couldn't read the titles, but it would be so awesome to go into his library and peruse through them while strumming the orange Gretsch Nashville. Best wishes to you and your dad.
Actually, I never thought of that. He does have an extensive collection of music biographies etc., and loads of Beatles etc... That could be the next video 🤣
What a great show and a great old man- rock on!
Eclectic collection. Thanks for sharing.
So many beauties, all drool worthy in my humble opinion. Thank you, and your dad for letting us share his appreciation for fine guitars. That black Telecaster though...definitely would suit a black tie affair performance, only to be played while wearing a tux, or tails and top hat.
