Let me know which guitar was your favorite! What is the best guitar you ever played on? Enjoy!

The Top 5 Guitars I’ve ever played: Cheap Strat rip-off Epiphone Les Paul 3/4 size Cheap Ibanez ripoff Pawn shop acoustic And finally, a guitar hero controller

Honestly...you are the most humble guitarist I know on KZfaq. Such a great collection of guitars (many of them quite expensive), and such a simple and humble personality. No useless speeches or vain introductions, you get to the point and you do it well. And best of all, you play guitar perfectly well...thanks for everything, Darell.

Something a bit different: Five guitars that have let you down or somewhat disappointed you.

Lovely Paoletti Guitar!!

There had to be a Tele, i'm at peace now, thank you DB

That black telecaster is gorgeous, man.

Brilliant Saturday morning video. Beautiful guitars! My favourite is the Ibanez S-series. So much guitar for the money... Amazing! A great day to you too, sir!

My problem is every guitar I've ever played is "the best guitar I've ever played".

Love your collection of guitars Darrell, and I would really love to see your top five guitars under 1000 bucks! I watch all your videos you’re doing a very good job keep rockin 🎸

I would love to see your "5 Best Guitars Under $500!" Even "5 Best Budget Guitars," like Harley Benton's, Firefly, etc. Keep up the EXCELLENT work!!!

Huge respect for featuring the guitars you own. Love your videos, keep it going.

I had a feeling the prestige and MIJ midnight tele might be on here! Your enthusiasm in previous videos with them even lead me (a complete beginner) to look them up to admire and appreciate. I'm playing an Ibanez SA largely because of your videos!

5 favorite under $500 would be cool, since that is about my max allowance on guitars... (toys as my wife says). And if you could keep it between $250 $ $350, there is more chance that I could acquire these featured “toys”. Rock on brutha! Update. My wife has been more than accommodating with my love of guitars. She no longer calls them toys, because I now have 16 guitars, they have become: “The Collection”… 🤔 I’ll take it! So, while I appreciate the shared outrage… I think it’s safe to douse the torches and disband the angry mob. Thanks Fellas 🤘🤘🤘

The MIJ quality is legit. ESP Standards, Ibby Prestiges, and even Tokai premium LP copies (that have replaced 2 Gibsons) are all my most played and enjoyable guitars.

All 5 of these are absolute works of art!!! Gorgeous and sound beautiful!!!

Thanks Darrell, I really like your suggestion of the top five guitars under $500. It is always a pleasure watching your channel.

I love the 5 under $1000 range idea. Would love to expand my guitar variety (currently have an Epi Les Paul and an Alvarez acoustic-electric) but realize I won’t be able to afford the “top” option for multiple guitars.

Love to see a video on Tokai guitars. It seems most people appear to shy away from plugging these beautiful instruments.

I fell in love with the stratospheric when you released it's demo video! It's still on my gotta get one list ✌

I'm loving your channel. What a great channel for guitar lovers.

Never been this early before. Feels like I accomplished something.

I had the newest version of Darrell’s Ibanez S for awhile and loved that guitar. The Wizard neck was ultimately not for me but still, an amazing instrument.

Awesome vid Darell love the selections personally the best guitar I’ve ever played on is my PRS SE

Excellent selection brother, very personal.

Out of your collection the Ibanez is my favorite you listed. 5 best I've played on are in no particular order below. 1. Charvel Pro mod DK24 HH 2pt 2. PRS Tremonti Signature 3. Fender Player Series stratocaster HSS Plus top 4. Sterling by Musicman Jason Richardson 7 string 5. way back in 2007 an Ernie Ball Music Man JP 6 string signature

So as an Italian man living in Japan, can I say that I am proud that three of your best five are Japanese guitars while the other two have Italian names on them?

Hey Darrell love the show thank for the hard work. Keep it up bra

🤤 Super nice 5... Why I hope the next video will be another top 5 like this one ? Or 6 ?! Dude it's the number ! Congratulations on this impressive and wonderful collection.

Japanese strong on this list.I can't be mad at that I've actually seen over the 40 years I've been playing you usually can't go wrong with Japanese made guitars.I love a ton of guitars made everywhere but price quality and such is strong on the Japanese guitars.

I don't ever get to play any of the super high end guitars, but I have played some really nice ones. By far, the best guitar (for me) that I have ever played is my Reverend 20th Anniversary Double Agent. It somehow has the ability to make me play better than I thought I could. Even if it's just something in my head, it still does the thing.

Great Video! I love the "Five Best" format. Keep 'em coming. How about Top 5 Acoustics, and top Five Acoustics under $1,000? The best guitar that I've ever played is my 1990's Made in Mexico Strat. This guitar has so much mojo. I've stacked it against guitars worth 10 times the price, and in the end, I love this one more. When I take into a music store to try out amps, it never fails to draw Strat lovers and blow them away.

I held my breath waiting for a Tele! You didn't disappoint. Great Video.

The ice blue on the Valenti Nebula is absolutely incredible. It’s one of the prettiest blue guitars I’ve ever seen! I think it would be worthwhile to create a video on the Top 5 Guitars under $1000.

Oh man that Japanese reissue telecaster is gorgeous. I’ve always known a telecaster was missing from my collection and now I’ve just found the one I need to hunt down... I have a ‘62 reissue Japanese Strat and it’s amazing. I’ll be on the lookout for a black and gold one like this. You got good taste 👌

Watching one of your videos convinced me to get one of those Fender Midnight Traditional ‘60’s Telecasters, and I am so glad I did. Thanks for that. I absolutely love that guitar!

Loved the Tele & the Ibanez. That was a fascinating video! Thanks so much! Any chance of an acoustic one please? 👍

Japan's Top Exports last 10 years: a. Automobiles b. Semiconductors c. Darrell's Supply

The Tele looks awesome! The best sounding ones were the Zemattis and the Paoletti.

Really made me smile Thax for sharing Darrell

Can you please make a video for a complete beginner to know “How to get started in learning and stuff”? And maybe a “How to choose a guitar for you” will be great too! Btw great video man. I love all of your videos they are just amazing and are of brilliant quality.

That Ibanez is still my favourite. Absolutely stunning 😍

After playing guitars for almost 20 years, I can say that Ibanez would definitely always be top 5.

I was waiting for a tele for the entire video... I was not disappointed 😍 And yes, a "my top 5 guitars under $1,000" video would be awesome :)

All gorgeous guitars! Especially that tele, it's like the guitar version of a tuxedo.

My favorite was a 70's Gibson Les Paul that I got from a Pawn shop when I was probably about 13. Wine red. Great guitar. Unfortunately I was totally stupid when I was about 17 and sold it!

Agreed on Zemaitis as being phenomenal and exceeding expectations on playability! Great to see you chose that one! Best LP style guitar-hands down.

Love your videos. Great selection.

Nice guitars, can’t really afford any of them. I’ll stick with my fender Chris Shiflett

Surprisingly not a Gibson or PRS on the list. I guess it’s more about what feels right to you and not company loyalty. I like this list.

Best guitar related content you can find anywhere!! ❤

Awesome guitars. Always interesting to hear what the pros go to when not on the spot.

wow the ibanez is super thin, never seen a guitar like that

Best playing and sounding guitar I have ever owned is a Ibanez s series, loved that guitar

Great review of some guitars that 8’ve not yet played, yet. Totally agree on the Ibanez Prestige! Absolutely killer axe.

Great videos bro, even tho I don't own a guitar as yet, u inspire me alot. Great playing

That Ibanez is nice, but if only the switch cover wasn't so damn hideous.... ;)

Ibanez S series are incredible. They are so comfortable to sit down with. Now I just want one with satin finish, flame maple and a Sustainiac.

Cool list, man, I like it.👍🏼 It doesn't contain the usual B.S. that many channels would include, and everyone expects.🙂

bro love the shotgun shell nobs on the Paoletti! took me a second to notice them! noice guitars man😁

The Nebula is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. My favorite of the 5, the Ibanez is right behind it.

That MIJ midnight Telecaster has always been a dream for me. I remember what it came out, the list price was $899.00. I really wanted to buy it for my son who is a guitar player and singer/songwriter (whose favorite colors are black and gold).... but, they sold out before I could get the money together. I will still check Reverb every once in awhile in a hopeful search that someone might be selling their used one. I'm glad to hear you regard it so highly, Darrell

I'd like to see your choices for best budget amps. You always have great content.

PLEASE do a video about the different les pauls! The way you go into depth and talk about whats relevant is incredible. Thank you

Was sweating it out... for a sec, thought a fav Tele wasn't gonna make your list. How about your 3, or 5, favorite Teles?

Now we wait for the worst guitars he's ever played

Those are all awesome looking guitars! I'm up for more top 5 videos, the top 5 under $1,000 sounds great.

Darrell man love the content. Keep it up!

Hi Darrel, You must try TAGIMA guitars! They are fantastic! Please read my message

5 best guitars I ever played were all made by the same company...air guitar

I am actually happy to see you put that Ibanez on nr1 it was so amazing when I first heard you play on it.

When your favorite guitar channel drops your top five favorite video. Great episode, man. (disclaimer - Ibanez S fanboy)

Sorry, can't afford any of those....

That was very cool. Thank you. I especially liked the MIJ Black Tele at the end. My best sounding and best playing guitar that I've played over my 65 years playing is my "Strele" that I built myself with half (the back half) of the body from my 1965 Tele that I bought new in 1965. I laminated a solid piece of Honduras mahogany on top of the 65 Tele swamp ash, routed out 3 spots for SSH pups, that are all Dimarzio's from the 1970's (when I built it) 2 different Strat PUPS (can't recall which models) and a PAF in the neck position. The original 65 Tele neck got stolen so I built my own neck from scratch and memory of the 65, rosewood/maple, did all the fretwork, wiring, etc.. Has an inexpensive Japanese whammy that works great. The PAF sounds as good or better than any Gibson ES175. The middle and bridge PUPS together are reminiscent of the FIXX guitar player's sound with a bit more complex and musical, shimmery harmonics on the top end. When I used to produce bands, every band I produced wanted to record with it. It's unique. I've never heard another guitar like it. Especially the two single coil Dimarzios together.

Thanks darrell. Great 5 guitars. I would love to have any of them!

Good list, that Italian strat sounded amazing

Great video Darrell!! As always! Can we can a counter video? Top 5 guitars that you have NEVER played/hope to play?

Nice job on the solo with the Ibanez

I'm digging' the MIJ guitars. My favourites are a Japanese Fender Strat Boxer and Reverend guitars. Thanks for your video. And I'm personally very interested in you as a musician. You are obviously accomplished.

I think your question at the end gave two interesting video possibilities! I'd happily watch favorite 5 at or under $1000 to just over $500 and another at or under $500. Thanks.

After seeing your Zemaitis review I checked them out and bought a disc front buccaneer island. I can’t put it down. I just love it!

Some real beauties there Darrell, nice!

hey Darrell : thanks for that informative video on your top picks. I'd like to see a full demo on that Tele & what you love about it so much ! Also, I'd like to see a demo video on your TOP 5 custom luthiers & why you recommend them, from your personal collection. PS : I'm looking to build a custom super special Tele with the right luthier soon -.preferably in the US.

Congratulations! You are a very lucky man. You are a great guitarist and you have the fortune to have such a great collection of beautiful beautiful guitars! I love guitar too. May you be happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful always always

Thanks for the great video. So now we know your top 5 favorite electrics. How about a video about your top five favorite acoustics?

So happy to see that S being the first guitar on the list. That's my dream guitar. The ultimate one to save up for, for me. ☺

Darrell your guitar playing is astonishing and very melodic

You have such exquisite taste in guitars....there are so many great options for beautiful handmade guitars that aren’t Gibson fender or PRS, even though I love them too.

Great top 5 list!!!

Love your videos Darrell and I’d like to know your top five guitars between 500 and 1000 bucks, keep up the good work

An amazing 5 guitars. My favs were the Ibanez and the Fender Japan Tele. Both are awesome!

JUST WOW! Really impressive guitars!

This really helped. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the ibbey. Been looking for a thin guitar.

Two videos would be nice. One 1,000 and under and one 500 and under. Thanks for this video. You showed 2 that I've never heard but seen. Great job!!

Congrads on 700K Darrell...I must say I was a lil suprised at your list. But, handmade craftsmanship does have MAJOR advantages over stock runs any day!!!!! I totally agree w/ all of em,but,if i were to play it,I would probably prefer #1 (Ibanez) myself. I've never played THAT style/series of Ibanez, but i can only imagine what it plays like...a dream i'm sure..lol. Anyways,thanks for "opening some eyes" if ya will....so many beautiful and dream-like playable guitars out there rather than Gibson/Strat style instruments!!! Thanks for CONFIRMING that !!!!! Go try something else if ya haven't ever tried em....they're out there for sure!!! Thataxe that just screams...YYEEESSSSSS when ya pick it up and strum it!!!! Stay Safe all and....PEACE!!!!

Beautiful guitar 🎸 list damn.👍

I've been looking for that tele for awhile now. I didnt even know it existed until you showed it in an earlier video.

in 30 or so years working in live music, hearing thousands of guitars live. i`ve only been blown away twice by the stand out tone from a guitar on stage and both times those guitars were old Hamers

Nice licks on the Zemaitis guitar, it was my favorite.
