Ridiculous Reverb Listings 72

[@cautiousoptimist1926]

10 years ago! This a classic, "Don't lowball me, I know what I got!"

[@kw1816]

The first listing is a copy of a Auerswald Model C - I remember seeing Prince (briefly) play it towards the end of the Lovesexy gig in London. "The Auerswald Model C is an electric guitar used by Prince in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was built by the luthier Jerry Auerswald, who also built the Symbol guitar and Cleo bass. It has a bar connecting the body to the headstock, called a "sustain bow" - like the Roland G-707, "

[@MK-1010]

That actually reminded me of those builds for Prince, now I know why!

[@ksukhia]

another one of those weird things I know bc of Ed Roman's wacky website and the endless hours I spent reading it all

[@MK-1010]

@@ksukhia That crazy site is still up? I thought he died about 10 years ago, and Gibson had sued him, or they tried to. I don't remember the whole story, but wasn't he heavily modding Les Pauls with a different cutaway and heel joint? I think he even re-branded them as his own.

[@ksukhia]

​@@MK-1010 no I dont think it is, though you can find it on way back machine or internet archive... I was reading it back in 2005-06 tho when he was still swinging around all crazylike very much alive lol Not sure he rebranded the vintage ones, but ya, he had no issues 'improving' something like a 59 LP.

[@Saxby8six]

I like how the first headless guitar has a head...

[@samizdat113]

There was a dog. Why did you not give that listing 5 beards?

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

This is one of my favorite things on KZbin.

[@SnappyJCM800]

That first guitar looks like if Princes custom guitar and a one of those early synth guitars/keytars had a baby

[@blackplatypus6755]

the look of headless guitars make me shudder like when you crack open an egg and discover it's rotten.

[@300ampeg]

I can see that double neck Gibson mandolin making its rounds in the New Grass scene.

[@ExtremeGuitarNerdery59]

Am I the only one who thought the weird abalone les paul thing was actually kinda awesome...

[@EldonNormandy]

yea ....sometimes puggie has poor taste....

[@BloodwolfMusic]

IYV actually makes custom guitars too. You gotta pay via money order though 🙄 But a RD clone shipped to me would have been sub 500

[@abunai.j]

On that double mandolin playing Djelta Blves.

[@Lordbaccus]

the 1st White guitar looked like the KING of NECK dive!!!

[@WilliamHaisch]

0:41 Obviously this guitar is designed to be a huge tuning fork so you don’t need a tuner! Just bang it up against something sturdy! So convenient! 😂

[@christophermcclelland1556]

The point of a headless guitar is pretty obvious but it’s mostly to piss off boomers who think musicman shits gold.

[@vincelupone]

1:30 look at all the paint overspray or dust or whatever that is on all the guitars in the back. Yikes!

[@tedmich]

imagine the guys lungs...

[@fraenkiboii]

I imagine Joe B. sitting in front of his computer rn zooming in on the images of the pot. “Yeah I think that’s rust from Corona and that solder looks very original” 🧐🤔😂

[@BockwinkleB]

That doubleneck mandolin would be equal to $4500 these days.

[@KnuckleheadStuey]

Needs more Abalone.

[@beyshore_]

inb4 "this is fake" guy

[@gearViewmirror]

That be Mr. Hill and he's in for Rate or Roast....🤣

[@infinidominion]

"ive sent in 17 pics and not one has been used"

[@careycrash9916]

Only 30 built. 15 remain because the other 15 never sold .

[@NcAllyRecording]

Not sure you covered it before but some dude is selling a RAT pedal on Reverb for $10k. 😂🎉💩🤬

[@mjamiep12]

Does anybody else find it ridiculous when a piece of gear is, say, $500 new (free shipping). And someone decides to sell the same item USED for, say, $450 plus $100 shipping? I see it all the time. Who would buy the used item in this case?

[@TonyToes-e8z]

Because people don't want to accept that as soon as you bring a new guitar home or it gets delivered 35% of its value is immediately lost.

[@LiesThatBind]

At this point most listings on Reverb are ridiculous to various degrees

[@timscarrow9151]

I have seen Photos of the Double Mando before. Neat.

[@ShawnShipstad]

I have not seen you for a while. -Great to see you back. Maybe I missed some videos. Great video. Thank you.

[@NiqScott]

8:00 "No lowballers" "Looks like your dog didn't get the memo..."

[@MK-1010]

The headless bass looks like the first Stienberger prototype, and it's funny how it says 15 out of 30 survived. Did the other 15 wind up in the fireplace? What a strange time, the 70s were. We were still recovering from the 60s. 😄

[@russellzauner]

Listing 4 is literally from another channel which I won't name because when I name channels my comments get deleted but there are a LOT of demos of that guitar and provenance to go with it

[@dw7704]

That double neck mandolin likely has pickups with 6 polepieces, but only 4 holes in the covers, given the width.

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

That first one totally looks like a Prince signature.

[@WhiteWolfEFX]

The mandolin was falling into the hillbilly jazz like tiny Moore and joe maphis

[@TheWorstManOnEarth]

The 1st one is ultra weird, but, for guys who like weird instruments it's not too bad of a deal for a really really weird guitar. And I LLLLLOVE guitars which are entirely white (fretboard included) like my ESP LTD TE-200 that my luthier worked on (stainless steel frets, Fletcher scatter wound humbuckers, entirely white with chrome hardware and perloid inlays and binding). And I can't see the detail of the spray paint cans, but now you also have high-gloss quality polyurethane spray paint (you need to activate the 2 component mix within the can before spraying) that you can use when you don't have the complete air compressed spray gun ... so, you can make a very good polyurethane paint/finish with polyurethane spray cans.

[@adolfo21]

the point of a headless guitar is that it looks cool.... not that one, but others do

[@fromquake]

0:41 “headless”, it’s bigger than a CBS fender headstock, but there are no tuner keys so… headless?

[@rollerdragon]

Listing 6 9:51 man.. finally!! this "Rare" warwick is for sale EVERYWHERE!! the japan stores do this... one store holds it and the rest list it on reverb for a slightly different price.. But, ALL of the Nobby basses and guitars for sale..

[@TheHangarHobbit]

"Why do you exist headless guitar?" because in the late 70s to mid 80s it was all about "modern new style" and frankly Fenders and Gibsons of the time were total trash. That is why you had all the crazy guitar and bass designs with all the crazy colors, people didn't want malaise era Fender and Gibson instruments, so everyone was trying new things. I still have my Washburn Force bass from 83 which looks like you took a P-Bass and stretched it, still plays and looks great after all these years.

[@banditkeithkingofduelmonsters]

I looked into antonio tsai a decade ago and I found out he was a teacher of a furniture making class somewhere in southeast asia and his students would build guitars for the class (IDK why) and he would list them on ebay for sale and they were really cheap for all the inlay work. The quality is supposedly terrible on them so they are more wall hangers than players. I don't know if all this info is correct but that seemed to be what I found out. I considered buying one for around $300 a long time ago but glad I didn't.

[@brianbrazil4426]

It's also a left handed models too.

[@DookyShoes1]

First guitar looks like Squidwards “Bold and Brash” painting

[@ltgray2780]

1st guitar=serious neck dive.

[@lilbitofOverdrive]

The first one reminded me of the Strawberry alarm clock guitars by Mosrite

[@gamezharks]

It begs the question, why make it headless if you're gonna put ALL THAT WOOD up where the head would be anyway? I also appreciate this very mandolin oriented episode.

[@DayBeforeTomorrow]

Some guitars is for showin' and some's for playin!

[@tymanngruter1808]

The new custom.... WHAT? But iff you are a kind off alien you can your savings left on earth today! 😱

[@kennethcarlin9629]

Listing 1 looks like something Prince would've had. Listing 2 looks like someone hurled all over it and said "Let's go with this design."

[@bryanmartin8336]

I don't understand why you didn't give "Thee Gibson" 5/5 Beards.

[@ooinvsaoo]

Wait reverb is 10yrs old

[@alexm.handro1313]

Ghost twins from the matrix would buy those white guitars. 😂

[@russellzauner]

cross reference the pot code to see if there's a bucket for a nickel somewhere lol

[@Fatsatan]

That IYV guitar is just TOOOOO busy and fugly especially with the weight

[@wally-001]

Seriously how did you see that Sambora Strat?

[@russellzauner]

headless is so you can build a tiny guitar that doesn't have neck dive

[@SolamenteVees]

4-Hole PAF is my stage name 6:15

[@JustMe-mn5hk]

Should I feel bad because I love abalone?

[@KnuckleheadStuey]

You can never have too much abalone.

[@UphillGardener-ly5sh]

first one is a copy of an Auerswald

[@CBoxStudios]

1:45 the whole point of a headless is to not have all that weight on the end. This person just fundamentally failed on every level.

[@paintnamer6403]

There's a dog, SOLD!

[@stewarttomkinson3356]

Funny I was on Reverb looking at the left-handed silver skies USA made once $1000 more really are you trying to be fender

[@PetePaulIII]

Just because you pick on semantics in this series.. $450 in 1950 was around $6k today. So is that a lot ? Argue in the fine print, or lack thereof

[@leegollin4417]

I still hate abalone.

[@Thebadguitaristcast]

I think that guitar could use some more abalone

[@retroquest3579]

lol@ $1.5k for a guitar knob. One of the dumbest listings yet!

[@beyshore_]

pot. knob goes on the pot. still ridiculous.

[@rikjones5924]

Well hello

[@k2rocksstl]

No yeet.

[@kingpriapatius5832]

What happened to your body language, man..?

[@christophermcclelland1556]

The point of a headless guitar is pretty obvious but it’s mostly to piss off boomers who think musicman shits gold.

[@MK-1010]

Really, you had to post that twice??

[@christophermcclelland1556]

@ guess I did.
