Goodwill is the only site I sort by Price: Highest First. There's a bunch of cool stuff on the site, but most things are way overpriced, If you want something simply like a cheap flute or clarinet, it ain't bad

I kinda like the richlite. I think if it holds up, they will be super collectible in the 2040's.

[@modergav]

Unlike the vast majority of Gibson Fans I have nothing against richlite. It is stable, helps to preserve a rare resource (Ebony). Richlite is cool.

[@I-Libertine]

I agree. I think the richlite looks good and is very easy to play on. Let the haters hate: I'll take the discount.

[@keefjunior4061]

I'm currently reviewing a guitar that used it almost exclusively for their necks and fingerboards. I'm finding it's incredibly stable stuff, looks amazing and feels really good.

Cant wait to see your Yamaha. The horns on those beauties are just badazz. When I can afford it, my money is going to old Japanese builds, before I get a gibson lol though i do want a ju ju series

[@MrZobarx]

I got a perfect 80s Fender Gemini for $45 from Goodwill. Turned out to be one of the nicest sounding acoustics I've ever played once I fixed the negative neck relief. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

[@alexo5861]

“Who donates a Les Paul Silverburst?”. An ex-wife still pissed off at her ex-husband!

[@seanwoodburn2616]

Hey Aus, that "Starcaster" was almost certainly a #2 neck from Stratosphere bolted onto a Strat body. Stratosphere had stacks of these and bodies as well about two years ago. Cheers!

[@Dragon_rls]

Now we know how Good will became the land baron it is. Free to low cost labor, free inventory, probably discounted utilities, and low to no tax. Somebody had a super good idea when they came up with the “Good will” idea.

[@STeve-bv1uk]

You should totally try to demo one of those Fender swingers with the arrow headstock. I’ve seen a few floating around reverb in like the 3-5k range. Not sure what the market is like for those but I think there for sure a bit of an oddball guitar I’d love to see

[@Johnny1.0]

90 percent of the stuff on good will costs you the same price or more after shipping and handling and they use in house bidders to bump up bids. The main drawback is limited disclosure and minimal testing. The higher end vintage stuff can be a steal sometimes since they are not flooded with high end bidders since their niche estate and garage sale type merch. I found some dinosaur fossils for a few bucks when I almost pulled the trigger on a vintage reverb b4 I realized It was local pick up only 1000 miles from NJ. 😆

[@guitarskeepmesane4958]

You should check in store at guitar center in about a month. Since they are filing for bankruptcy they have some awesome deals. I found a used Marshall stack in mint condition for $270

It doesn’t have the same design but it was a gift from a friend of mine and I modded the horns to resemble an Ibanez/Jackson and installed a 2 point floating trem, Amazon locking tuners, a left handed strat neck copy with maple fretboard(just for the reversed headstock look) and finally painted it pastel pink

[@19mikal79]

[@Louis_Rain]

On that Epiphone Trog, I have a cool 72 MIJ Epiphone acoustic dreadnaught called the "Bard". Same headstock. My guess is that Wilshire is from the same era.

[@fongy200]

I have a 1997 Japanese Eppiphone SG made by one of Japans premier Luviers, apparently it's quite valuable as far as Eppiphone SG's go. I use it to play slide as i find the action a little high for conventional styles but it likes the Pyrex tube.

[@sultanofswing44]

my first guitar was one of those Johnsons. they are Glarry level cheap and they opened up my dad to make the "playing with your Johnson" joke about a million times.

[@FoxysGuitarShow]

I think the hollow body with the 'f' holes is a Chinese make named Artisan, although the headstock looks slightly quirkier that the one I reviewed a while ago but it was the lyre style tailpiece that placed it for me. A friend brought one to me for an appraisal and it played terribly but after I'd waved my magic wand over it, it was a really nice guitar to get along with :-)

Yes, those 'Starcaster' Strat-lookalikes are a fairly recent thing and beginner guitars.

I think they were even available at places like Wallmart, if I remember correctly!? :-)

Yo you totally skipped the Kalamazoo that was right above it u need to check them out it was Gibson’s fender copies that were harmony quality cool guitars

[@erasedmind7120]

The Kalamazoo KG is head and shoulders above "Harmony" quality. Still kind of a piece of crap, but a playable piece of crap. (I love mine tho, obviously.) The Harmony guitars ppl compare them to are firewood.

[@adamdarmstaedter1256]

The "Steel Adjustable Neck" neck plate is common for Matsumoku production guitars. I have seen it also on Japanese Vantage guitars. They are pretty good quality, but not as good as Fuji-gen.

[@johnallen2771]

The older Squiers are good guitars and play great. They sell at a small fraction of the price for a Fender or Gibson. I think they're even related to Fender in some way. Anybody who would pay $6,000 or $7,000 for a new guitar like this is crazy. It's way more fun to find one that is privately owned or for sale in some pawn shop somewhere. Then you have your own discovery story to brag about.

[@joermnyc]

I believe Ebony is only native to Madagascar (or if I’m wrong, then it used to be.) The whole “problem” they had from ebony was due to a possibility that Gibson’s Ebony (and other exotic woods) wasn’t sustainably sourced, then the Feds got involved, confiscated a whole bunch of “contraband” lumber and that’s where “rich lite” showed up while Gibson tried to work out getting their lumber back and how to keep using ebony without raising a red flag.
