I remember seeing George Gobel on some show in the 60's and he had a great guitar joke. He was playing a bit then talking and he said " Electric guitars like this are great. I used to have a gas guitar and when I played fast I blew out the pilot light." He may have been playing the one you found at Gary's.
In highschool in the early 2000's I had a 1966 mustang that had fancy inlays like a banjo and had 'Ricky nelson special' engraved on the control plate and flowers carved on the body really nicely done. I never could find any thing about it maybe just a fan made it, I sold it years ago always wondered where it is now.
There's still nothing better than a good old tube amp with a solid cab. I've got a Marshall DSL1 hooked up to an Orange PPC212 cab with two Celestion Vintage 30s, and it sounds way better than digital modeling without all the complicated settings. The 1-watt Marshall doesn't have any unnecessary knobs. I had switched to modeling a few years ago, but in the end, I came back to this setup.
I used to live in Cincinnati, and he always had the highest quality and prices on his guitars. Mike's Music (also in Cincy) also has vintage guitars, BUT they aren't as expensive and tended to lean toward players axes as opposed to collectors grade. Both were great stores, and just about the only thing that I miss about Ohio.
The Musicmaster was a one pickup guitar, and the follow-up was the Duo-Sonic which, you guessed it, had two. Both were shorter scale and were basically replaced with the Mustang. Love these videos! I want to see MORE!!!! MORE MORE MORE treasures!!!
The follow up was in fact a Mustang. The Musicmaster and the Duo Sonic shared the same pickguard that have the controls attached. The Mustang has a separate metal control plate similar to the Jazz Bass.
I enjoyed looking at Gary's guitars, but I didn't enjoy Gary's prices lol. That Goya - those are worth a couple of hundred if you can find someone to buy it, but a grand ? Good luck buddy :) That last one, the 70's tele, worth maybe 3 grand ish, not 5.5k (I have one - a '74 in great condition). Don't know about the rest but at a guess they're probably similarly over priced. Good luck to the guy, but he wouldn't do too well where I live.
The Electar was cool. Never played one of them, but I did get to play an old Rickenbacker lap steel, with the horseshoe magnet. It sounded great, even though I am not that good at lap steel. If I’d had the money at that time, it would have come home with me.
The guitar with the 'bubble' mahogany back may be from "The Tree" - a special old growth log that a man spent years getting to the US and has been featured in several magazine articles. Some of this wood has now showed up in the Stew Mac catalogue and as expected it is super expensive - 9 thousand bucks for a back and sides set to build a like that!
Goya was the name the swedish guitar maker Levin used when they introduced their stuff on the american market. Apparently Levin sounded "too jewish" from what I heard. This however is a later model, Levin got bought up by Martin and they used the name to import japanese electric guitars. For the acoustics they used the name Sigma as their entry-level á la Gibson/Epiphone. The original Swedish run of Goya/Levin is great though, the top of the line jazz boxes are gorgeous. And they did sell some solid body electrics too but those were mostly made by Hagström. Check out the Goya 80, that's the sparkly Hagström model with full pearloid neck!
I knew someone who had an old Musicmaster If someone made fun of it he just responded it was worth more than their guitar. Usually he’d be right. Wonder whatever happened to it

George Gobel was great
Love his stint on Hollywood Squares.
Every player/collector has a GAS guitar!

The dsl 1 is a great practicing amp! Got it too💪 playing through a greenback/v30 2x12 cab though, i like that speaker combination
@@jonnyf9049 not just practicing, it's great for everything
lol that scream at the last second of the video
🎵🎵🎵Truss rod cover on the left hand 74 custom was for a right hand guitar. Can't believe Trogly didn't catch it.
I dittoed Trogly on that 1961 semi hollow body. when he opened the case we both said oh nice at the same time.

Oh man I remember mikes. Is it still around? Close to Bogarts right?
That Goya guitar is somewhat similar to the old Japanese Tiesco guitars.

Love that Desert Sand color ! ...love the 70's Telecaster Custom too ! Thanks Trogness !

7:09 that electar has the same knobs that the usa made epiphone coronet has! Nice, i knew i saw them before somewhere

Prolly my favorite Trogly episode yet. Thanks Austin, and Gary. You guys rock. Rock on🎸🎸🎸👍👍👍👍👍.

Again, very interesting and quite fun. Can't wait to see the other episodes from Gary's...
Great episode. Cool to see that old archtop looking essentially new.
That must have been an absolute blast, lucky boy Trogly
Thanks Gary for the "backroom look" !
Loved that second to last jazz guitar. Beautiful!
Quite the jaw-dropping selection here!!
Love all the Fender's this episode!
Kool safari Trogly! Love this show! You should do some more travels , and shows like this! Great job Brother!!
That was a lot of fun! thank you
I like looking at some old Stratocaster guitars with the bolt on necks with three screws or bolts.

This is really cool!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing
Weird how the lefty truss rod cover is upside down for a left hand player.
Great way to do something new, plese do more episodes like this :)
@3:19 It's either the side profile of Falcor from the Never Ending Story, or it's a Ibanez with a beard.
Gibson was known for making Mandolins. but I don't think they make as many Mandolins as they used to.
Enjoyed that.
Evening Troglodytes!!
I didn't know you could put an ashtray cover on a custom. Would it fit on a tele deluxe too?
A 71 musicmaster was my first electric, white with tortoise shell pick guard. Great guitar, I pawned it idjit 😢😢😭
Nice Mustang and 330. Tele Custom not bad (and not light, it seems!), either.
Stradivarius!
Very exciting
This was great!
Hey Trogly, couldn't find that fiddle on his web site. Can you let us know what year and how much? Please!!
I'd suggest emailing Gary's Classic Guitars for more info
cool trogs...
I really liked this video! Like a treasure hunt.
WOW!
There is no We here, its you!
Careful Trogly..We ALMOST saw your face!!!!
Cool video
You should do that more if you can great video
two more left in this series!
That Esquire body's made of a lot of pieces of ash! At least four, if not five, it looks like?
Where’s Lemmo?
Hey what's the price for the 52? you should buy it. You have a great collection Austin but they are to perfect. No character.
I knew someone who had an old Musicmaster
If someone made fun of it he just responded it was worth more than their guitar.
Usually he’d be right.
Wonder whatever happened to it
I love eye candy
When will you go to Norm and make a video or probably even a collab one?
I hope you changed gloves between handling guitars. You don’t want to cross contaminate.
Be really cool if he both a No-caster, and the Broadcaster that got Fender in trouble. 😂
Peak?
You could h@ve done a much longer episode from Gary’s . …..
George Gobel always seemed like a drunken creep to me as a kid. I hated him then.

This is not an official unboxing and boxing for the channel.
Can we have a bit of a change up in the music?

Im guessing gary has passed. These guitars have always been the most overpriced examples available (for decades now).
Hello from Alaska.
Yesterday's episode had to many grandpa's guitars
Believe it or not, we grandpa's like guitars too.
like these aren't grandpa guitars? i mean more power to you if you dig them but man they're just old junk to us whippersnappers
The clue is in the name. Gary's Classic Guitars. You're not likely to see a 2023 Strandberg.
@@straightshowtunelove At 69 I have more guitars than I did at 39 and I play them all regularly.
Z is for late
Wow….now handling guitars with white gloves? 🥸
that
i want to go there with a million$ that is colectorville
