Imagine trying to show off that marshall amp word to someone, and it turns into a spinal tap sketch, "this piece of wood is history. It was inside one of the most classic guitar amps ever built. There's nothing like it." "So where is the rest of it?" "I could only afford the wood..."
About those 5150 strings when i used them they had the frankenstein stripes like his guitar on the package. all they are is custom gauge EB "rock and roll" pure nickle wounds. you can get them for $6 a pack in 9-42 to this day. the 5150 set had a .015 plain G string in place of the 0.16 and 0.40 low E instead of 0.42. those are the only differences.
@@DeadHandBlues Well considering some paid $25K for a ash strat you could make yourself for under $1500 i guess it depends on who's the buyer is? I personally would never pay $50 for a pack of strings even if they were from eddie's or jimi's guitar case.
As ridiculous that last listing is, there are probably people out there who are absolutely certain that the tonewood of their Marshall cabs was better in the 60's
Listing 2 is exactly what I had in mind when thinking how to reduce weight on my guitar. Well I was 10 years at the time and thankfully had no woodworking tools
The second guitar that's all chopped up looks like the guy is trying to bypass some kind of local/federal law or tax treaty in order to sell guitar parts. In this case it looks like he's selling pickups. It makes zero sense if he's selling a guitar, but it becomes feasible if he's selling parts.
Never have I ran to Reverb so fast to watch a demo video for a listing. For all interested the first might be the CRAZIEST guitar of 2021, but it definitely isn't the BEST SOUNDING guitar of 2021.
Good lord. That first thing is ridiculous. Thing is, It’s just as ridiculous as a typical “extended range” guitars. Give me six strings, and two humbuckers.
Douchebag Comic Sans! Omg! Affliction shirt reference wasspot on. I love how some dbag companies like Affliction will simply take their name, use a busy typeface like that with zero modification, and say "dude the artwork for the new shirt design is sick bro".
@@WilDBeestMF The woodwork on the body is top notch. Being that it's oak, it's fairly heavy. The neck & everything else is indeed from an Epiphone. I don't know the guy that well, only spoke with him a few times, but seems like a real nice guy ... he put a lot of work into the guitar.
With that flamed guitar: if I'm building one and deciding on what wood to use I'm pretty sure hard oak would be at the bottom of the list, if it was considered at all.
Thank you for the free advertise ! ahah i really enjoyed your reaction, this is exactly what i was going for. maybe the only thing i want to add for whoever is reading is that the project took 2 years. For every question, you can mail me . thank you again !
That seahorse had an acid effect on me, Flotation is groovy, even a jellyfish would agree to that lol. Covid for two years can make some people do some strange things for sure. Very very strange things on Reverb, you covered it well. $300 for EVH strings? uh, no lol. That other guitar was a coffee table with strings on it.
I have a 60s Marshall cab with a brace like that. In all reality, it's a cheap piece of pine. Humans in our present form have been walking around for 200,000 years. We've got to stop going crazy over stuff as recent as the 60s.
I wanna say the 5150 strings came out in 1990. The thing is, EVH collectors can be insane and this dude will probably get $300 for them. Those strings are from the late 90’s up to about 2002ish. Post EVH and Ernie Ball. When Ed was with EB, the packaging had the striped pattern on it and they changed it to that design after he left in September of 95.
I kinda want the seahorse, kinda has the same vibe as the Jay turser shark from a few episodes ago. Also, the first one reminds me of something Michael hedges would play.
Anyone who has the ability to restore speaker cabs has the ability to MAKE THEIR OWN slant baffle posts. Literally, just go to the hardware store, buy the timber, make the slant baffle post yourself.
that piece of wood got me laughing way too hard. i can cut a piece of wood, throw some dirt on it and claim it came from a marshal cab from the 60's. ffs.
7:30 I mean, was it really necessary for them to mention that it was “custom built”? I guess to differentiate this particular seahorse guitar from the factory Epiphone seahorse guitar that we all know and love.
Absolutely, vipers are pretty great guitars. I have an older Ltd viper baritone with the emg hz passive pickups and play it almost daily. One of the best players I have and I own a Gibson lol
Coming soon to an empty theatre near you, the collab no one asked for : David Lee Roth presents his magnum opus - Little Mermaid - The Rock Opera! “This must be just like living under the sea ( do do do do do do do) And I don’t wanna go home”
I get a kick out of this. Listen to that song and imagine Kermit the frog singing it. It works. "Rockin steady in her Daddys car, he got the stereo and the pink guitar..."
First Cheers from Texas! 🤘😎🤘 Some of these guitars may be necessary, ergonomically; like for folks with MH OR DD needs. And wow! Epically, what the heck! M
That seahorsey is a set neck, solid mahogany beast ...l'll bet it's a flame thrower! .. And it's especially good if you feel like cosplaying the lamest ever superhero . Just wear a green & gold spandex bodysuit, and voila! you'll be Rockin it looking like Aquaman riding his Sea-Stallion! ...or Sea- Shetland Pony, anyway!😂
A pre EQ make your life so much easier with all the pedals and cabs you'll use with your guitar, if there's a frequency problem or you want to reach a specific sound, you dont have to worry too much about the rest of the gear
I have a unused set of the Ernie Balls sitting here - the ones with the stripe pattern on the front of the packet, rather than the plain ones shown here. It isn't worth $50 - Same with the vintage pack of Dean Markley Blue Steel (cryo activated) strings I have sitting around. Interesting nostalgia pieces - but not worth big $
The guy with the strings would have been better of posting them individually. $50 for "collectors" strings seems more reasonable than having to buy all 6 for $300.
how about this... i bought a bass guitar on reverb... after 10 days i messaged the seller cause it said it still hadn't been shipped... 2 days later he finally got back to me, said he didn't have that bass in stock but had ordered one for me thru ibanez and he has no idea when he'll get it and then i guess ship it to me
Listing 1: just when you think you have seen every Homermobile that exists, here comes another. Should come with entertaining instruction video.

Alternately you call it the piece of wood formerly known as Marshall
After years of fruitless searching, I finally found a replacement for the missing slant baffle post for my 67 Marshall. I would have been happy to pay $600 but talked the guy down to $550. Now I’m seeing them everywhere for $120! Smh
Wow, turns out I have a ton of Marshall baffles sitting in my backyard. Money here I come!?!
Wow,.. I'm baffled.
Imagine trying to show off that marshall amp word to someone, and it turns into a spinal tap sketch, "this piece of wood is history. It was inside one of the most classic guitar amps ever built. There's nothing like it."
"So where is the rest of it?"
"I could only afford the wood..."
He's buying it in pieces lol
I think that piece of pine from the Marshall cab was the funniest!
That Douglas thing is the epitome of 'we have Strandbergs at home'.
The seahorse had a calming effect after feeling confused and disturbed with the first two.
does it djent
Sea horse core. :)
I gotta admit it would be a cool wall decoration at a rock star's beach house
Been havin a really rough go of things fluff. This is the first thing that's made me smile in weeks. I needed this. Thank you.
Glad I could help
@@RiffsAndBeards got a guy pretending to be you on whatsapp
About those 5150 strings when i used them they had the frankenstein stripes like his guitar on the package.
all they are is custom gauge EB "rock and roll" pure nickle wounds.
you can get them for $6 a pack in 9-42 to this day.
the 5150 set had a .015 plain G string in place of the 0.16 and 0.40 low E instead of 0.42.
those are the only differences.
I thought $50 per pack wasn’t all that ridiculous as a collectable item or to add in as case candy with an 90’s EVH guitar.
@@DeadHandBlues Well considering some paid $25K for a ash strat you could make yourself for under $1500 i guess it depends on who's the buyer is? I personally would never pay $50 for a pack of strings even if

@@DeadHandBlues I've got some awesome water front property for sale, that I know you would just live. Cheap too.
Nothing like starting the day off with a new episode of ridiculous reverb listings...
As ridiculous that last listing is, there are probably people out there who are absolutely certain that the tonewood of their Marshall cabs was better in the 60's
This video is about ridiculous reverb listings. and that first guitar is the epitome of ridiculous.
Listing 2 is exactly what I had in mind when thinking how to reduce weight on my guitar. Well I was 10 years at the time and thankfully had no woodworking tools

@@Dan-G.1979 It was in the original project, butnot eough space, but yes, it would be the pedal missing there
The future is now old man!
Honestly, I kinda dig that chopped strat shape. If there was a pro made version, I'd be open to it. Different headstock, though...
That first one is a Scallon video waiting to happen 😉
I hope so !

I've seen that flame guitar in person.... the "builder" brought it into the local pub several times in different stages of the build.
Man that must have been a WILD ride! What can you tell us about this build and the man who made it? 😂
That explains everything. Clearly he was working on it in the pub while having a few.

1:26 the open strings are reminiscent of Dead and Company when they do the song “Space”.

If the squire had the bridge laid into some wood, I wouldn’t mind it… still pricey but the outside edges look pretty smooth?
Lol! I think @rhettshull needed a brace for his 4x12 Marshall Cab. Hahah. 13:00
"What monstrosity is this?"
Literally what I say when I see most of these guitars in this series 😂

Very very strange things on Reverb, you covered it well. $300 for EVH strings? uh, no lol. That other guitar was a coffee table with strings on it.
Some real gems this week!
The reason they all have EMGs is because of solderless installs
" hide it before Jeff Kiesel paints it and makes it look like a popsicle"1 LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣
All harp guitars have strings you can't fret, the clue is in the name (not many frets on a harp😁)
Thank you so much for this comment :)
The 5150 strings came out in the mid 80's. I used to buy them in bulk to put on my Kramer guitars.
That seahorse is kinda sick tho

Those "Douglas" guitars pop up so much all over my social media. I hate hate hate hate them
As soon as I saw that chopped up fender on reverb, I KNEW it would be on here.
Jackie Moon would love that Seahorse guitar!

@@Ottophil TH-cam comment of the year right here guys
That pirate guitar lloks like it's built on a Harley Benton SG-style body. Note the extended bass-side horn.
the 2nd guitar in was that an attempt to make an ovation breadwinner style out of a strat

That first guitar took a fretless bass to the next level and just made it a fretboard-less bass
Its the "Harp" part, its written in the annouce title :) but i get why it confuses people, i also played those 4 strings with a slide
@@pitguitars2563 it's a wild instrument homie, good luck with the sale 🤘
i dunno about those 5150 strings. in the early 90s no product had a website url on it like those packages
That first guitar is still lighter than an unrelieved Les Paul😂
“Wood and black man.”
*me having to do a double take, while drinking my coffee*
7:30 I mean, was it really necessary for them to mention that it was “custom built”? I guess to differentiate this particular seahorse guitar from the factory Epiphone seahorse guitar that we all know and love.
Aside from the stickers on the Ltd, its actually not that bad, swap the tuners and the tail piece out with grovers and it would make a decent guitar.
Absolutely, vipers are pretty great guitars. I have an older Ltd viper baritone with the emg hz passive pickups and play it almost daily. One of the best players I have and I own a Gibson lol
@@mattlombardi54 Ive had a few ltd guitars over the years not the biggest fan of the thin u neck profile but they played nice
If you look at the rings on that baffle I'm pretty sure that's new growth lumber.....
I tried to sell a 1971 quarter for a VH guitar, and it got flagged. But that pine 2x4 for the speaker cabinet made the cut?
I'm new, from Ben, I saw the sweetwater videos😁🎶
Don’t judge the sea horse, I’m sure it’s a great workhorse.
If someone pulled out the seahorse guitar at an audition I would automatically give them the spot.
Salvador Dali killed me😂😂😂

ahah so true, what can i say, at least is top quality stewmac :P
craziest thing about those 5150 strings is that old EB package are not sealed very well so you know those things are already rusted.
“I hate that font”. 🤣 😂
I'm going to start designing everything with a combination of this font and comic sans. It will piss off everyone...AND be hilarious to me...

a "baffle post" from a cab with woodworm... so a piece of rotten 2x4?
Dude that first guitar gives me anxiety.
to you ? now imagine to who built it ! :P
That "Hack-O-Strat" looks like the one from EP16
Ngl , the 1st guitar, I want an eq like that on my shit!
A pre EQ make your life so much easier with all the pedals and cabs you'll use with your guitar, if there's a frequency problem or you want to reach a specific sound, you dont have to worry too much about the rest of the gear
That 2nd listing is like:
"mom can we get a strandberg?"
"Son we have a Strandberg at home"
The Strandberg at home:
I have a unused set of the Ernie Balls sitting here - the ones with the stripe pattern on the front of the packet, rather than the plain ones shown here.
It isn't worth $50 -
Same with the vintage pack of Dean Markley Blue Steel (cryo activated) strings I have sitting around.
Interesting nostalgia pieces - but not worth big $
And you didn’t disappoint!
Hmmmm was it sacrilegious for me to shoot a screw into the backpanel/post of my jcm800 cab? No more rattle.
Ok Fluff, I dare you to buy the Seahorse guitar and send it to Uncle Ben.
The "presentation video" is exactly what you think it is
How big is that case for the seahorse?!
Sympathetic resonances maybe why the open strings.
Is that Viper sold by the guys from Alestorm.
Fluff Magic! You rock!
So apparently that first guitar actually sold lol
Was someone expecting not to ?
10:26 dude just literally made that from an oak stair tread from Home Depot.
Someone was up early today!
Those 5150s probably cost close to 80-90 bucks for that 6 pack of strings back then....strings are heaps cheaper than they used to be
