Goodwill has a disclaimer in the description for the fake Gibson that it "has not been authenticated". Looking at other guitar listing, even the Dean Dimebag guitar, there are no similar disclaimers. It makes me think they suspect something is not right, but they will take people's money anyways. Someone who can "officially" authenticate it needs to contact them and let them know before they scam someone of their savings.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

There are quite a few collectable Harmonys. Anything 50's or 60's is worth a few bucks. The problem is these early budget made in the USA guitars were mostly entry level.They were never meant to last more than perhaps a decade so things like a truss rod were often not used. My main point is when new they were barely playable and poor parts. So even making them playable may exceed their value very, very quickly. Even so a few are worth buying. They can sound very good because of hand wound PU's and the now very aged woods. I have several and I hot rod them. i always disguise my upgrades so to onlooker everything appears factory. I often use period correct PU covers over a hot gourmet PAF etc.I use tings like the Fender mustang bridge that is adjustable but is made of bent steel and looks period correct. My 'bright yellow 54 Harmony Stratotone Doublet may look like a snowflake but it can take out the back wall of a club going thru my Marshall.LOL

The thing that always tips me of for a fake is the location of the tailpiece! It suppose to sit right over the neck pup volume knob not under!

[@hkguitar1984]

Sometimes the Chibson stop bar tailpieces are in the correct position and the control knob clusters are out of position. Another tell-tail sign are the pickup mounting rings size. Fake and Epiphone mounting rings are physically larger than original Gibson pickup mounting rings. If you try to install a real Gibson pickup ring on a fake LP or Epiphone the original screw holes from the non-Gibson ring end up being exposed.

[@springy-2112]

Well , I was classically trained on bassoon! I've played bass guitar for 40 years so I guess the bassoon lead me to the low end of things .. Peace and love brother 👍🏻☮❤

[@ericbgordon1575]

The bolt-on neck of the no-brand LP reminds me of the Framis acoustic/electric 12-string my dad drafted me with 25 years ago. Its neck was attached similarly. That cloud guitar would be a pet project for me, first if I serviced/refurbished guitars and second if I wanted to weild a model associated with Prince (plus a brief usage by Sugar Ray). Would you think twice about getting one of those Epiphone Strats if it were cherry red? I almost got one of those as my 1st electric guitar in the summer of 1995. Would have been just as suitable for me as the one I ended up getting which was q Fender model in black with rosewood fingerboard instead of maple.

[@Mephilis78]

That Silvertone is one of the things there were selling in 2002 or 2003 when I first started playing. They also made a Gene Simmons bass in the shape of an axe.

[@honkytonkinson9787]

Ex bassoon player here. I think that’s a $4,000 to $5,000 new, student horn. I play guitar and drums because I can get a whole studio’s worth of gear for the cost of one bassoon, and I don’t have to make reeds anymore.

[@markjamesmeli2520]

That's real "utility pole" action on that Strat, not as bad as the Prince-o-caster. In my head, Harmony didn't get any type of passing grade until I read that Pete Townshend used a Harmony acoustic while recording TOMMY. As for Silvertone, they never went away. I think the same folks who made Sammick does them now. In the early 1990s, Epiphone made a halfway decent Telecaster too. I barely remember the M3...thanks for refreshing my memory.

[@unclestubs8377]

Check out the Ibanez jem jr. that somebody just totally effed up with paint and decals, a real shame

[@spaceagedpolymer]

The pickup on the flattop LP style guitar at 6:38 is a DeArmond Aftermarket pickup with attached tone and volume control! I have one I got a while ago that i planned to use on an archtop project, i believe mine was stamped early 60's but it had a good hot sound for what it was!

[@hkguitar1984]

spaceagedpolymer Agreed, a true early Toaster Pickup wouldn't even fit in that thin of body-style guitar. Much like the early Gibson Christensen Pickup, magnet technology of the late 1940s required very large magnets as before the development of much stronger AlNiCo alloy.

[@brunovitols]

I was wondering where the vid was😂

[@rldickie]

Finally! A channel with bassoons.

[@Floortile83]

I know a little about bassoons. I know they sound amazing and some ppl use them to get the dubstep bassy sounds. Like Moon Hooch. I wanted to buy one years ago, but got a vintage clarinet instead. Bassoons are cool though.

[@mustakrakish4919]

I know confusing them with baboons is a mistake you wont make twice.

[@crumpy46511]

The big price range on the Silvertone Paul Stanley is there are a couple versions. A bolt on neck and a set neck or neck thru.

I tried to buy a 57 Hofner Senator in blonde, won the bid but was denied due to being in Canada. Even though the people I talked to said I could pay for the shipping and handling expenses to have it shipped. Still doesn’t stop me from browsing goodwill tho.

[@cjleavitt17]

I bought an unofficial Prince Cloud Guitar I spent 550 on it. It looks great. Not up to par on what Paisley Park sold but those were limited run Shecters. It turned out to have a pretty cheap bridge and tuners. I would be mad but the body looks good. Good paint good inlays. I know someone who can replace those problem parts. The pick ups are generic but not bad. Since Im replacing the bridge to be the original that Prince had with upgraded matching tuners I'm going to have some fun and swap pick ups to the EMGs in what Prince used. I did get my hands on an Authentic Prince owned and played Cloud once I was only allowed to hold it but still.

[@stereoroid]

8:50 that is horrendous, and not just the action. The frets are departing the fretboard.

Zoomed in, you can see 3 strings from the side looking like 1, but that bridge is very high like this was a set up pic? ...but check the fret nib ends - they aren't even touching the fret board' ...I'd rock the Bassoon before going near this...

[@theccarbiter]

No it’s a string, otherwise it wouldn’t cast a shadow on the fretboard

[@johnro6659]

I am amazed people are actually bidding that Chibson up! I actually have the exact same red Epi EM2 you showed I got it years ago for less than 100 bucks in mint condition with case. Great guitar actually rarely sees the light of day it's buried in it's case in the back of my collection. I'll have to make it a point to pull it out. I won't do the Goodwill auctions for a guitar but I bought one from Goodwill locally. It was an old 70s Teisco I paid like 15 bucks for it. It was in pretty good condition with the exception of a set of rusty strings. Cleaned and set it up put a new set of strings on it. It wasn't bad I sold for a very good profit but kind of wish I kept it. Back in the day you couldn't give those 60s and 70s Japanese guitars way now they are getting some decent money for them.

[@mikejones420]

I had one of those Epiphone strat style guitars a couple years back, nothing to interesting about those, but it did sound good to me, it seemed to have a more defined mid-range sound, and the neck carve wasn't too bad

[@RevanDeluxe]

Trogly, dont worry - I speak for the entire youtube community - we love the Fender content :)

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Yes the Fender thing is bonus. I would love to see any old made in the USA guitars and even MIJ guitars. I have a few that I got and made playable I often upgrade parts to modern spec being careful to keep the look correct to the era of the guitar. the killer is they look like a snowflake but I can use them for Metal and they can do the job.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure that the Conrad guitar was a Soviet made guitar in the 60’s Edit: I just did my research that is not a soviet guitar to my findings I confused it with another brand but I did find this interesting article on reverb about Soviet made guitars and basses if anyone wants to check it out reverb.com/news/guide-to-soviet-era-guitars?

[@nonsuch]

Exactly. For people who are not experienced like you just have to look under the Truss Rod cover. I guarantee it's just an "Allen Wrench" adjuster and not the standard Gibson Nub under there. As far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong, Gibson doesn't use Allen Wrench adjusters on ANY of their guitars.

[@hkguitar1984]

Rob Cosentino You are correct, all Gibson truss rods use an SAE sized nut to adjust the truss-rod. Overseas guitars typically use a Metric Allen Head screw to adjust the truss-rod.
