I think the question for the first guitar is not “why would you buy that?” Rather “why would you want to get rid of that?”

[@Raul-ef2ie]

I would buy it if i could

[@zerofox641]

Right? I really want to hear what it sounds like especially if the pickups work

[@wadeguidry6675]

Spinal Tap needs this!

[@peehandshihtzu]

You are not wrong! :)

[@MainPrism]

@@wadeguidry6675 seriously though, they're making another movie! This would be perfect if they made a giant amp to go with it. Turn it up to 11!!!

[@pure.panic.productions33]

It took me exactly how long this video is to finish 1 Taco Bell mexican pizza, 2 -5 layer burrito's, a steak casadilla and 12 cinnabon delights. I hope this research is useful. everything hurts now!

[@adamdarmstaedter1256]

Hopefully that giant guitar was equipped with a standard 1/4" output jack. It would be awesome if you could plug it in and jam. Otherwise, why would they need to make the pickups functional?

[@barretprivateer8768]

"Messugah unplugged" "Rob Scallon wants to know your location" You have earned my like and comment sir

[@WalkenDead]

That last V looked like something the band in From Dusk Till Dawn would have been playing after they transformed into vampires

[@keithclayton1271]

...if Jeepers Creepers was a guitar player.

[@WalkenDead]

Imagine taking that Picasso II into a local shop and asking if they do string changes, then you throw that monstrosity up on the table

[@DavidHBurkart]

Buying a guitar with both Harley and Honda patches means the owner had an identity crisis 😂

[@jgmopar]

He probably rode a Hardley

[@DavidHBurkart]

@@jgmopar 😂

[@thebreakfastmenu]

Honda gang tho.

[@greybeard27]

Especially as the denim clearly came from a Corvette owner's jeans.

[@rmaxtpmx]

After having to put in the work to peel the denim off, sand the glue off, and refinish the body, the price should be half the price. Haha

[@UberNuber]

i love the Groot-tar

[@eddiejr540]

“that is something…that is definitely something “….hahahaha….love it!!!

[@SoloSabbath]

I will never understand the price gouging when parting out an instrument. When researching the price of a bass I sold for $125, someone pieced it out for ridiculous amounts of money ($10 knob, $20 screws, $40 truss rod cover, $50 back plate, etc.). Glad to know that years later no one has paid those prices.

[@wakjob961]

If Rob Scallon doesn't buy that Giant Guitar... I'll be disappoint.

[@Zwidawurzn]

this!

[@dw7704]

Either him or Trogly to take it apart on the workbench. I’d watch either Or they could collaborate

[@SlyHikari03]

@@dw7704 I’m all for that

[@AZWorm41]

I believe the guitar with the vulture and the steer skull is from an Arizona postcard. There's usually a sign next to it that says " It's a dry heat ".

[@Leichenschrei]

the giant guitar would probably be bass guitar-sized for Peter Steele.

[@IsabellaCatherine19XX]

"Do it now!" Best part of the episode right there. Well, aside from Fluff reading the word 'giant' and not immediately realizing that the giant guitar is giant.

[@timwhite5562]

Honestly, one the best sounding Strats I've played was one of those VG Strats that had the Roland pickup and electronics removed and converted back to a normal Strat. It didn't have that battery compartment by the lower cutaway, and the other one by the tremolo was about ⅓ the size of this one. I attributed it to the chambering for the electronics. I have an Eric Johnson that had the bridge pickup routed for a humbucker, and it definitely resonates much more in that area, you can hear it when you strum a chord and listen to the front acoustically. That said, I wouldn't recommend doing it for that goal, who knows if it'll be recreated on every other guitar.

[@timwhite5562]

That giant guitar still weighs less than the 79 Les Paul Custom I had.

[@kor2112]

The Picasso guitar is ridiculous but makes sense. I worked a Pat Metheny show a few months back and he played one, supper cool! I wouldn't spend that much for it, but can see why it is worth 100K

[@ZackSeifMusic]

Was going to say, Metheny tours with one and uses it alot.

[@DizzyDez613]

It’s not though. It’s not worth $100,000. Take a zero off the end and maybe we can talk about it. It’s not worth six figures just because some niche guitarist played it. Pat is an icon within his genre, as he should be, but he isn’t exactly a household name. He’s not Jimi Hendrix or EVH. Six figures for a guitar cuz he played it is quite absurd.

[@kor2112]

@@DizzyDez613 even if Pat didn’t play it, it would still probably be worth thousands maybe even tens of thousands. Price a hand made acoustic sometime.

[@DizzyDez613]

@@kor2112 Yes. But not $100,000.

[@fastenbulbous]

Plus Manzer is a very well known and respected luthier. The price doesn't seem that crazy to me. Her normal guitars sell for $10,000+.

[@TargetHHH101]

Low key I kinda like the paint job on the Vulture guitar, its something different and if I was to go to a show or even play one and I see that thing come out of the case its gonna generate attention.

[@SlyHikari03]

Listing 4 reminds me of resonant chamber by Animusic and that one guitar played by Michael Hedges/Pat metheny Ps. That Scallon joke and meshuggah unplugged was gold.

[@elancaster3989]

Cool,so that giant guitar is still lighter than a les Paul.

[@chasesrc]

You are right Fluff, the vulture was a dope in the cartoons. That’s all I could here in my head after seeing that guitar.

[@insearchoftone9602]

I thought the last guitar was kinda cool. I mean not for me but it reminds me of what the esp custom shop does with their crazy carved guitars. Bet with a little more practice dude could make some serious cash doing one off carved guitars lol.

[@tommywd40]

That Attila has some great history. There's a book written by Craig Jones Q.C which outlines the history of it.

[@RyuJinsoku]

That last one looks like it's made of some kind of flesh, like a necronomicon guitar lol

[@nationalduo4945]

The NUMBER ONE on here should be 4.5 Million for Kurt’s !

[@phunkym8]

reminds me of one of the first videos i ever watched on youtube with some dude shredding on a similar 10 foot giant flying v

[@andrewtolson2566]

I have a question about the giant guitar, I'm interested in knowing if those pickups have a giant magnet and giant poles, and if so what the output of those things.

[@thisbridgehascables]

Nice shirt!

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

I hope one day we get a video “I bought a ridiculous reverb listing!”

[@xsm5525]

7:50 but does it djent?

[@nekoroms]

That denim piece is kinda really cool in some weird way :) cant explain it but still cool

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

5:53 🤣 I gagged then both snot and wee came out at the same time 🤣🤣

[@JanderVK]

I don't know. I dig that last guitar. Like something the elves of Lothlórien would play, a giant leaf turned into a guitar. Great for a folk metal band with a fantasy stage presence.

[@Maverick7r]

8:16 Fluff - "How long does it take to tune?" Guitar - "Yes"

Good luck finding a strap for that Odyssey guitar 🤣

I think it's pretty sad I plan my day around these. Should I get a coffee and watch now? Do I wait until after dinner? Should I wait and watch in bed?

[@musicauthority674]

Maybe there should be a segment on how Reverb makes people do some really weird shit. because it seems like there's a pandemic of it going at Reverb that's for sure.

[@smashallpots1428]

you should do one of those beard chats with troglys guitar show about old gibson stuff

Whoever covered the denim guitar in motorcycle patches doesn't realize Harley riders and Honda riders aren't generally buddies.

[@musicauthority3516]

That first guitar is crazy, even if it were functional a person couldn't play it. hell takes three people to hold damn thing LMFAO. this episode really proves that there are some really wild listings on Reverb.

[@ldfox11]

I went to a Johnny Winters concert in the 70's and he played a giant acoustic guitar for about five minutes. It sounded like a bass.

Check out how bass balalaika looks like.

​@@chupasaurusYeh, that's big but the one Johnny played was three times bigger

[@valuevinyl110]

Loony Toons "Beaky" The Buzzard: Beaky is a lanky buzzard (although he more closely resembles a vulture) with black body feathers and a white tuft around his throat. Beaky bears a perpetual goofy grin, and his eyes look eternally half-asleep. He is well known for singing a "Hyuck and derp" wordless version of the "Baby Bumble Bee" song. I am sorry I know this.. but thought it needed to be shared and was appropriate to this video and Fluff's comments...

[@musicauthority3516]

I can tell you James Hetfield and looney toons don't go together no doubt.

Gotta be honest, that's the best looking faded denim finish I've ever seen, considering the recent trend. I thought I hated it until I saw this, because honestly the paint jobs are FUGLY! All the patches are in poor taste, but I dig the guitar!

[@nizodizo9549]

I like the guitar with the vulture on it.

[@joeyvanostrand3655]

Your "Custom Artwork" will, 9 times out of 10, tank the shit out of the value of your more than likely mid-grade guitar. Practice not paint.

[@thebreakfastmenu]

The first two listings are pretty cool imo. Ridiculous? Sure. But cool.

[@PooNinja]

Beaky buzzard wasn’t the sharpest blade in the drawer. We got a good deal on the house we’re in right now because someone painted the interior very custom 😂 We got it very discounted 🤣

[@dukeviking]

That $8k guitar that weights 350 is SUCH a deal over a Fender Masterbuilt guitar at 7-8lbs lol

[@meltedfro]

the last guitar,he probably keeps it in c to d standard because the guitar probably cant handle the tension or the bridge will fly out

[@loschain2224]

guitar 1, does it djent?

[@void870]

At 500 man hours on the Giant Guitar, $8K is actually a discount, when adjusted for inflation. Assuming they made industry average pay. At the very least, that's $4K worth of tone wood.

[@KaldDodeGitarist]

Fuck! I made this comment before I heard him say it lol

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

CUSTOM finish? I know EXACTLY what that "custom" finish feels like. I am involved with an open-mic night at a local bar. The owner of that bar paid a local artist to come in, and paint the tables. And I do mean a legitimate artist. Her work is featured in the local art centre, as well as featured in the local University. Anyway, those tables were never given a clear coat of any kind, a "finish" of any kind. So, when you touch those tables, you are touching the paint itself. As such, even a few years later, those tables still feel like your standard-issue hardware store paint, and are appropriately sticky. But hey. At least they LOOK good.

[@justinf3278]

The last one looks like the Necro omicron from evil dead

[@ctcards2636]

Gotta have the denim one !!! lol

[@firemarshal2629]

Building guitars is really a case of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

[@BoyAditya]

10:30 for that price, with new custom finish, i think it's decent price (consider the used one on reverb is 1000-1300). The only thing is, do you like that new custom finish. It's "one of a kind"

[@MK-1010]

The only real use for the giant guitar is to repurpose it? Or literally recycle with all the old-growth mahogany, (assuming that's what they used) fret wire, (again, assuming proper material) and copper wire can certainly be recycled... Could a luthier actually turn a profit by making several guitars out of this?

[@czyprodigy]

That would be a waste of a piece of history

[@michaelsmith9544]

Last one looks like a chocolate bunny melting on a hot Easter day.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

What even would you class that giant guitar as. Its WAY beyond a Baritone, Bass, Contrabass or even an Octobass. What the hell is it even tuned too?

[@briangiamanco]

The last guitar looks like the sorting hat
