Fresh Off the Bench: Douglass Scott 2025, John Dick DT, Fontenot, Guo & More | Tone Check Ep. 2

Welcome back to Tone Check, a casual format here at The Guitar Collection where I share first impressions, sound samples, and honest thoughts on some of the latest arrivals. In this episode, I’ve got a fantastic and diverse lineup of guitars to walk you through — from 2 great choices of advanced student guitars, to bold doubletops to refined traditional builds and everything in between. Whether you're just curious about what's coming through the shop or actively looking for your next guitar, I hope this video gives you a helpful, unfiltered look at these instruments. As always, I’d love to hear your feedback — is this type of video helpful? Do you want to see Tone Check become a regular thing? Let me know in the comments!
