Ridiculous Reverb Listings 58

i think we can all agree that the first explorer is kinda sick and that the last explorer makes you kinda sick

[@Metaldad87]

That camo one would be cool if they did it right though 😂

If the guy had rattle can camo'd the metal one, we could all win

For $6500 you can fly to Japan, fill the form of ESP Custom Shop to make 2 illegal Explorers, return home and fly again for them a year after.

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

You, in fact can not do that. The E-II factory models go for around 2500. Their custom shop in Japan will usually charge something like 6500 for one instrument.

[@Rhinodo99]

Sweet drywall screws on the bridge of that ESP. 😂

[@cccssbbb]

That’s what I was coming to say lol

[@csnide6702]

bridge..... those are string saddles

[@timhallas4275]

Drywall screws are very versatile and easy to use. No drilling needed.

[@Rhinodo99]

True but they also break very easily. They don’t have the same hardness that they would use for regular bridge screws.

[@timhallas4275]

@@Rhinodo99 I was being sarcastic.

[@jbrobertson2758]

Gotta love the sheetrock screws holding down the bent piece of metal posing as a 'bridge' on the ESP LTD EXP! The saddle springs are slammed which, if the guitar is intonated, indictes an incorrect bridge location.

[@finnadunk]

When I worked at GC we used to keep the pedal boxes stored for when someone ordered or bought whatever pedal it was. yeah, that never happened and one day we purged this storage area of at least 2000 pedal boxes of varying types. So if you want pedal boxes go to GC and just ask, they will give them away.

[@MK-1010]

That first Explorer is METAL!! And totally worth the asking price. That last Explorer, did the selling shop say they did the work? Looks like slightly advanced DIY, not necessarily a bad thing, but WAY overpriced! The Bat-Guitar.... The work is there, but I would've painted it black. Otherwise, you'd really have to guess what it is. And really have to be a Bat-Fanatic to pay any price for it! And tell josh about the boxes! 😁

[@lakselv3768]

I think that explorer is a hollow body.

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

That $36k guitar - did anybody else notice that the spacing of the Top E tuner is off compared to the others?

[@c.harley_17]

I think both E tuners are kinda fucked lol the high E is way too close to the B and the Low E is too far from the A

[@SombraPiloto]

@@c.harley_17 Looks like they got the first two tuner holes drilled then realized that they'd run out of room on the headstock if they kept the same spacing for the next 5.

[@timhallas4275]

What do you want for $36K.......perfection?

[@nedsdonutshop]

Tom Lieber is super well known, he apprenticed under Doug Irwin making Jerry Garcia's iconic guitars and still makes versions of them. He made Pete Sear's famous Dragon bass, an explorer bass for John Entwhistle, and basses for Stanley Clarke. Hallmark is a guitar company known for Mosrite style guitars, and other '60s wacky designs including a batman themed guitar. The "reversed engineered" line is kind of a joke on the fact that this is a reversed version of that guitar.

[@DeliRevv]

5:17 I lost it at “Is that a butt?” 😂

[@ethanparr]

I found your 10 year old OR100 review video and loved it. I've since cracked out on your whole channel. Keep up the great work man!

[@AthanInsideOut]

I'm a HUGE Batman fan. I collect comics, action figures, and other merch but that Batman guitar is a nightmare

[@ryano.5149]

Why would I ever go through Reverb if I was willing to spend new-car money on a guitar?! 35 grand! What a joke!

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

The industrial Explorer is actually AMAZING. Better yet, it has a Hipshot, which needs to be standard-issue across the board. AND, it is the Fender 25.5 scale length! I am actually VERY tempted to impulse buy that. VERY tempted...

[@MainPrism]

Are you the one selling it and now you're tryin to hype it up? 😂😂

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Quite the opposite. He has a potential buyer on the hook.

[@MainPrism]

@@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy I was just givin' ya 💩 man. It's actually pretty damn cool. I wonder what the radius is on the neck? If they had em' with compound radii I'd probably have to buy one as well. Especially if they had the CR and a Floyd...

[@ellosean1]

The Batman guitar sold me 🤣

[@jwandhistools]

Nothing can ever beat the Firefly LP Jr listed for $10,000. "One of a kind". OMG

[@zuke-ci4vd]

Hello Fluff, you showed remarkable restraint in your assessment of these listings. I don't think I would have been as diplomatic. "$36K? Good luck with that..." 🤨 🎸😎👍

[@garystevens6831]

Those tele saddles screws look like a row of bombed houses, just like my teeth.

[@BricelynTowne]

Pretty sure those are Sheetrock screws holding that tele bridge down on the last explorer

Note to self: Never take anything to Nashville Fretworks.

"predicted to sell soon" @ 36k. 😂😂 Batman guitar is definitely the Ben Affleck batman. 😁 Looks like drywall screws holding the bridge on on the camo guitar. The paint is terrible.

The Petra 7 price started out at $42k. It's now reduced by $6,287 dollars, which, for boutique, would be a reasonable price; $6k. It does include free shipping from Reggello, Italy!

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Thanks Fluff. Awesome as always. Peace

[@russellzauner]

Listing 1: A guy literally made one of these in shop class, I saw it Listing 2: OEM Boxes are valuable in particular to scammers repackaging clones/knockoffs/bootlegs Listing 3: Even Jol Dantzig (founding luthier/owner of Hamer) or Charlie Hunter (actual musician that builds literal hybrid guitars) doesn't charge that much; also that thing is tacky af Listing 4: Yep, it's relic'd. It's also been stripped and refinished, then relic'd. Get a Peavey T25 instead - it's a T60 with the icepick setting removed and they kick ass. Listing 5: If you want your car stereo to also be a guitar Listing 6: *the Batusi plays in background* Listing 7: "Wow that guitar looks rough. Is that a headstock repair?" "Yeah but I'm gonna rattle can it some cool camo, ask a pile of cash, and take 500 bucks if some yahoo is dumb enough to offer it."

[@rmp5s]

That first one was actually pretty cool.

[@douggreen639]

Lieber is known more for making replica Jerry Garcia guitars. Great craftsmanship, but the pricing suggests that they still partake in the “party favors” the Grateful Dead were known for.

[@-suphur]

People that bought pedals off that box guy are looking for boxes.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

Or imitation builds are being put in real boxes and passed off as new...

[@DudeMcGuybro]

People that make their own pedals to put in these boxes also love them... lmao.

[@happihockey8601]

I saw that Peavey Patriot listing and next to it was a listing for the same guitar for 249.00 free shipping. I was laughing my head off.

[@TheColton0117]

Makes me feel solid about my listings for reasonable prices even though no one is buying them :(

[@the_nondrive_side]

"Morningwood the hardest wood known to man" Burton snowboard catalogs in the 90's regarding core woods. 12:00 looks like you should hang miniature spoons off of it

[@MainPrism]

If your "morning glory" looks anything like that... GET TO A DOCTOR!!! 😂😂

[@megacomus]

The last guitar is the kind that I'd look at the guy and say, well someone really screwed this one up I'll give you a hundred bucks for it.

[@beastiecb]

I swear i saw that camo, with the Floyd and a Wu Tang sticker at a guitar center in Dearborn MI

[@jwandhistools]

That Peavey Patriot does have the original bridge, which IMO are excellent for a plain jane standard trem. The original pickups were superior to most aftermarkets. If you happen to have one and the bottom of the pup says "Schaller" you have a gem. Those pups will drench you in harmonics and will not run away with squeal feedback like a SD will. Bone stock that is a $400 guitar. $200 like that.

[@marcparsons1726]

Would the Masterbuilt Petra 7 be a good starter guitar? I live in Dubai.

[@bmir89]

The weird guitars can be kinda janky listings... depending on the circumstances. That aluminum explorer looked pretty decent though, as far as homemade guitars go. The worst are the ones where it's $550 for 3 out of 6 tuning pegs off a 1959 strat... Or some ridiculous shit like that.

[@trevor4533]

Vintage guitar parts can be expensive. If you're trying to restore a '59 strat and need those tuning pegs, there's only so many of them for sale. Definitely a seat for every ass, ass for every seat kinda scenario.

[@bmir89]

​@trevor4533 For sure. I get what you're saying. But based on that mentality - then no listing would ever be ridiculous. Where would line be at that point from "reasonable - based on supply/demand", to "absolutely ridiculous" ? So would $900 for those 3 pegs still be acceptable ? How about $2k ? Let's say $4500.. are we there yet ? Maybe I should've have given a better example, but my point should've been somewhat obvious.

[@trevor4533]

@@bmir89 Like you said man, its supply and demand. It is what it is unfortunately. As long as those 50s Fenders keep going up in value, expect the parts to follow suit. But yeah, no way am I spending that kinda money on a crusty ass tuner, I feel you there lol.

[@bmir89]

@@trevor4533 Okay lol good. That's the answer I was looking for 😅

[@WilliamHaisch]

6:17 At least they’re offering free shipping! 😂 So many multi-thousand dollar guitars have $250 shipping. If I’m paying more than $5K, two-day shipping better be free!

[@kennethcarlin9629]

I think Jim Babjack of The Smithereens might like it. They play the Batman TV theme at some concerts.

[@StevenRice]

The Batman guitar, literally, is just a hallmark ornament like said in the listing. From 2019 "Batman Rocks" It's less ugly as an ornament because at least it was dark blue, black, and yellow... going all natural with it, despite the great wood choice? bad idea.

[@Cpt_Adama]

Josh at JHS would buy the boxes, LOL.

[@MisterCrispyFL]

The boxes one is an old scam that started on ebay. They're hoping the buyer doesn't notice or understand the "box only" portion of the description.

[@TheX-3d]

I REALLY like the first Explorer.

Well, that Morninglory guitar looks like when the dude built it, he put the neck on upside down. It seems wider at the nut than it is at the neck joint...

[@youWoNtLikeMe04]

I sent in that camo explorer like a month ago. Along with the metaliica one last episode. It's that hockey stick head stock that determines price.... everyone knows that. 😂

[@Thomasfarmstn]

[@timothyjames4195]

I had that Batman guitar... But I cut his ears off. Now he's a Darth Vader guitar. TTT!!!

[@AiXeLsyD13]

I would go for a handmade Batman guitar... but for $250, not $12.5K. I settled for a Six Flags prize guitar of the Batman logo.

[@dantat5713]

The only context where I think the pedal boxes would be reasonable is if they were used as decoration in a studio or somewhere

[@timwhite5562]

The camo explorer looks like they used drywall screws to screw the bridge to the body.

[@ShawnShipstad]

I love Kiesel Guitars. 4,000 would be a high average for a great guitar with a bunch of extras. I figured it out for 32,000 that is 8 guitars, with basically anything a person would want. -There is NO tax, if being shipped out of CA. There is a 10 day return policy. I think for 32,000 -I might get Jeff Keisel, himself on the phone. He may even throw in some complementary swag.- I would have shipped to an out of state address to save 8% on tax alone. I tend to agree with you 99.999% of the time. Marijuana must be legal, in the state he is residing.

[@jonscudder759]

I love these!

[@nobodyhaslogin]

You know the guitar is good when it's called morninglory and it's made from hard wood.

[@AbbieHoffmansGhost]

Just for shits and grins the other day I looked to see if there were any 1980 B.C. Rich Koa Mockingbirds (not the Supreme which has different fretboard markers) listed anywhere. I did this because I had one that I ordered and waited 6 weeks for back in '80. I was stunned to find a few of them, mostly on Reverb. And most of them were about $7,000. Now, I did like that guitar a lot but I didn't love it but it did have lots of sounds and to this day I do love those DiMartzio pickups and I did like the electronics even though I didn't find much love for the Varitone switch. But it played great and the only thing I had to do to it was line the electronics cavity with copper foil because of noise I was getting from the electronics. But the price now? Ridiculous.

[@akwamarsunzal]

Some interesting options out there. As a woodworker, I am often asked how I justify my prices, I am often told that you can buy similar in a Chinese shop. Well then, off you go a buy it, loser! I see the value in hand crafted things BUT, seriously, some of the prices being asked for these guitars are just off the chart!

[@antisoda]

10:00 Oooh. I'm _really_ into that color. The rest of the guitar, ehh, not so much. But a "regular" guitar in that color would be sweet, imho.

[@frankaalderink3667]
