Carvin (Now known as Kiesel) made pickups like that with the 22 adjustable pole pieces. Some of the best sounding pickups of all time in my opinion.
you beat me to it. I remember Vai playing carvin before his Ibanez days. Soooo wanted a carvin with those pickups in cream. ha
@@GahMehGrrrr The man has always had exquisite taste. A Carvin is one of the first things I’ll buy if I’m ever ridiculously rich lol.
Somebody was a Frank Zappa fan!
@@kevinbarr7991 Zappa... indeed. The Steve vai ads with Carvin amps and guitars were in Guitar players and UKs guitarist magazine. I can still picture one clearly. The ad was still doing the rounds when guitar player released the Blue powder flexi disc...84 or 85, if memory serves (but im happy to be corrected) I remember it predated Passion and Warfare by a few years.
Yup. Either M22 or C22. I have them and they rock.
Kramer aluminum necks used to be all aluminum, but then they added on maple inserts to make them feel more like a traditional neck (aka, the aluminum can get really cold in certain conditions!)
You’ll never find a 70s Kramer with a warped neck, those things were built like rifles.
Those things are insanely heavy. The short scale is the way to go to reduce neck dive.
Travis Bean made the all aluminum necks, Kramer added the wood inserts from the begining. Gary Kramer used to be the sales man for Travis Bean and the initial Kramer's we're a result of all the things people complained to Kramer about the Travis Beans he was selling. Or at least that's my understanding. I have a Kramer DMZ2000 and became a Jr historian as a result
@@bizzierhythm someone who knows their stuff the fretboard is also made from ebanol a material used to make bowling balls.
I just sold my Kramer 250g but I still have three Kramer XKG-10's love these guitar's 🤘🏻
That's a penguin sticker on the area where you zoomed in on the goldburst - so I think it's a goldburst owned by a batman fan.
LOL 👍
woot woot Trogly's 🙌
Well done you earned a Silver Medal
Congrats on the Silver Elamon51 👍
Goodwill should be sued for auctioning fakes.. It's so blatantly fake, how can anyone not see it?
Never heard of Micro-Frets before but they were (are?) local to me. Founded in 1967 in Frederick, Maryland (the town half hour away from me). They shut down 1975, relaunched in the early 2000s for a limited run and shut down again, revived again in 2017 and apparently are still making guitars today. I am a big fan of supporting my local businesses which is why I have a PRS so I may look for a vintage Micro-Frets that I know was built local to me unless I determine they are still run locally (tho the new stuff is pretty expensive).
Pretty cool stuff that I was unaware about.
Grand Funk's Mark Farner played Micro Frets guitars
I think the factory was on Grove Road. I saw one in one of the pawn shops in Frederick in the 80s and kick myself for not buying it. Mark Farner played one in Grand Funk for awhile.
I can't believe that Trogly took them to be Japanese made and didn't know that they were a US brand.
@@paulketchupwitheverything767 I mean he his a Gibson guy. Hard to expect people to know about an on again off again on again guitar company even tho it had some big players way back in the day during it’s prime well before Trogly was born.
The thing about Micro Frets is the intonation system, which compensates at the nut as well as at the bridge. They also have sandwich bodies, on most models. Ralph Jones contracted with DeArmond then Bill Lawrence for the pickups, which, going along with Jones' ideas were based around Plexiglass bobbins. Honestly, they sound really "glassy" - I know, sounds like a bad pun, but they really do. @Dave the Hippieman, yup they were at Grove. They'll sell at around 3K all day, everyday to collectors, ( there's even a few clubs dedicated to them) I only know because I was real big into Post Punk/ New Wave in the late 1980's and there were a few of the British dudes in that scene that played them
Z is for late. Chloe loves SGs.
You win
Congrats on the Gold Sir.
The Paul gold burst looked like it had a penguin sticker above the toggle switch!
100% a penguin sticker
3:39 hahaha that penguin sticker
7:40 Wasn't Gene Simmons' early Kramer Axe basses aluminum necked? I'm pretty sure they were. I had a friend who owned a weird Kramer with aluminum neck. They had a stripe of rosewood or some other hard wood that went down the back. Really kinda cool in a weird sort of way.
My favourite time of the day trogly time
Guitar porn time 😂😂😂 I love it too - seeing guitars I will never touch or even share a room with lol (edit: well the Goodwill ones in this episode are more in my price range). And Trogly is 7 days a week with his videos, as regular as the news but without being depressing 😎
Ditto
@@martin-1965 Double Ditto
Micro Fret guitars were made in my home town of Frederick, MD. I think during the late 60’s to early 70’s or so IIRC. I believe they were fairly popular with country players. Also well respected amping a number of players.
Indeed! My first NEW guitar was a microfret calibra, bought in Reisterstown, MD. in the 70's. I wanted it because Mark Farner was playing one for a while! Wish I'da kept it!
Gene Simmons' first axe bass was made by Kramer and had that exact aluminum split headstock.
Travis Bean was known for Aluminum necks. Kramer had wood inserts to make the neck feel more normal. Stanley Jordan was known for using Travis Bean.
Jerry Garcia used one for a period in the 70s.
@@kevinr.3542 Now that you replied and said that, I do remember seeing him play one. He was playing his main "Wolf"? Guitar a lot, but I have many vintage Guitar player magazines and an older edition had a pic of him playing it.
The Peavey has a Casio DG20 glued on to it
Micro Frets made a guitar with onboard wireless transmitter back in the early '70s; a local pawnshop had one for years. Grand Funk's Mark Farner and Genesis' Mike Rutherford were big Micro Frets fans.
Goodwill selling online to the highest bidder is the death nail to finding good stuff at thrift stores 😔
Those aluminum necks are super cool and actually fairly sought after! They're basically wood inserts onto an aluminum frame. They're regaining popularity in the metal world! Also, lol, it is pronounced Bab-itch my man!
I still have a Peavey T60 that I purchased in 1979. They weigh a ton, but they were and still are one of the best made guitars ever.
The T60 was the first guitar made CNC (Computer Numerical Control) and was groundbreaking in that every guitar manufacturer followed this process. It's the reason guitars today are consistent in quality at lower prices. The Peavey T60 is an incredible guitar although heavy and still see a few for sale that I'd like to buy.
I just bought one for $300.
@@robertpalmer4806 That's how much they were new in 79
@@gaetanoschristmaschannel I reckon I got a screamer deal considering the past four decades of inflation. That's about what a Squier Affinity sells for now.
@@robertpalmer4806 yep!
3:37 I don't know if you're joking or not, but that's a Penguin sticker 😂
Came here to say that. 🐧
The plastic neck looks a lot like the Casio, which made a midi adaptable guitar. The frets had buttons under the skin, which you had to push. Had similar control panel, and had same multiple voices, as well as rhythm.
Those are 22 pole Carvin pickups in that first SG and that "homemade" looking guitar toward the end. Either M22 or C22 pickups and they are great pickups although recently discontinued. They do make a new, 12-pole version called the M12 and it screams.
Worst looking pickups ever. Even Jeff is embarrassed by them.
Hi, I'm a new viewer of your yt channel and this was the first episode of the vintage finds I have seen. It is fun to see all the unknown versions and mods that randomly appear, in the depths of the internet.
That said, I have a friend who asked if I could help in identifying a guitar he found among his fathers stuff. I have no clue what it is, or what it may be worth. I would greatly appreciate any information you have or advise as to finding out what his strange guitar is.
I can send pics and a little more info, to you, but not sure if this is the place to conduct such inquiries.
Thank you for posting all the fun and interesting content, for the world to see.
@ 9:03, check out the six independently adjustable "nuts" at the base of the headstock on the 70s red Micro-Frets Signature Custom guitar. That's a feature I've never seen before!
The aluminum neck was designed by Paul Unkert at the Kramer New Jersey plant.
Dang, two guitars with Carvin pickups. I have an Ibanez with the C22B, AP11, and H22N pickup set.
When I was 13, my dad came home with a Gibson ES 335 with a broken neck he scored for $10 at the local Goodwill, it was a 61 or 62 natural and he offered to give it to me, but I foolishly passed because I didn't like it. My Harmony guitar has the strap button in the exact same place, it's just where they put it in those guitars. You've learned what Purfling is now, yet you misidentified purfling as binding mere seconds before!
Hey, FYI:
If I'm not mistaken, that digital ad-on on the Peavy T-60 is a repurposed Casio DG-1 digital guitar/synthesizer. Interesting way to mount it. 😉
Yep
I believe the Strat at 9:38 is a MIJ 2019-2020 HM Strat in Frozen Yellow that someone painted silver spots on. There is over spray on the knobs and pickups.

:( When I was much younger and less knowledgeable, I scrapped a The Paul thinking it was a knock off Les Paul. It was beat the f*k up and played for crap so it got smashed and burned.
Yes, that is the plastic protective covering for the pick guard on that T-60.Because the tone knobs actually split the humbuckers, they outlined the features.
These were very affordable and much better than anyone gave them credit for.
I had 2 T-40 basses. Oh, it’s definitely not stock with the midi thing on it.
How do you butcher such a good example of a cool guitar?
About the "grandpa guitar" Wurlitzer branded, a friend of mine had exactly the same semi hollow guitar, but with "Welson" brand on the headstock.
My first electric was a T60 that I got new in the fall of '79 and still have it. It plays like a Strat (albeit an 11.5lb one) and can sound like a Les Paul.
The tone pots also split the humbuckers' coils when dialed past 6.
Holy 😮😮😮😮
Moly
I'm in love with the tailpieces on those ibanez single cuts. I have a couple, and my DT200 Destroyer has the same thing. Lets you restring without having to endure the scrap of threading it all the way through the tailpiece.
I remember Microfrets. They had an adjustable nut.
I have a Peavey T-15 that I found at a pawn shop for 80 bucks. Currently in the process of stripping the terrible red paint job off of it; it has been one of my best playing guitars by far.,
That Ibanez was a G10. I have one in a gold top finish with the black binding and a tribal inlay at the 12th fret. They are entry level $200 range guitars that play and sound like much more expensive instruments. I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I saw that Peavey T-60. The T Series (both guitars and basses) were true unsung heroes back in the day when they came out. Their tonal versatility and rugged construction made them the ultimate work horse for both studio and tour gigging. Their only downfall was their heft. They are H-E-A-V-Y. Picture Jerry Nadler and Eric Cartman's love child PLUS a bag of Quik Crete.
Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad played a Miro Frets signature , the nut on that one has been changed it was a individually adjustable roller type.
I did not see this comment when I made min6. We agree.
The problem with Goodwill auctions is that it’s no fun anymore, you can’t really find too many great deals because people just go and bid everything up to retail price.
I love "The Paul" guitars. I especially love the bevels on the body. Built for comfort. I'm surprised they don't make them still, or at least offer a Les Paul with some contouring.
I destroyed one once and immediately regretted it
I owned a similar guitar, 1967, cherry red, stiff tremelo arm. What you're missing is black P90s, just like Santana in Woodstock original. I agree those are Carvin 11 pole pickups, designed to create a more uniform magnetic field to hear the strings better. This was called SG SPECIAL
Love those Carvin vintage pickups!
They are still available. Honestly I wouldn't take a $1000 for mine , they have a very unique sound. I've never seen another pick up that sounded similar. Remember FZ had them in his 60 Les Paul .
The customized Peavey T-60 / synth guitar was based on a later model T-60 with the 'blade' type pickups. I think that there was a bit more variety in the finishes on the later ones compared to the natural-ash-only earlier models.
The Micro-Frets Signature is not Japanese. They were made in Frederick, MD from the early 1960s through about 1973 or ‘74. The name Micro-Frets came from the Micro-Nut that was adjustable for each string, replacing a 50-cent piece of plastic with 50 or so small little metal parts. Quirky? Oh, yeah! They actually got some high-visibility endorsers-Johnny Cash’s bass player and guitar player, who at the time was Carl Perkins, both used them, and Mark Farner from Grand Funk Railroad had one at one time. Kramer started around 1977 making aluminum-neck guitars, but they switched to wood necks by the mid-‘80s. I had an aluminum-neck one in 1978. I’m sure you could find tons of info online about all these odd guitars, rather than speculating.
Steve Wilson from Porcupine Tree uses a Babicz style Acoustic
DiMarzio Super Distortion Model Pickups of the 70's and 80's had Pickups with adjustable Allen screws.
Micro Frets guitars had an adjustable nut.
3:37 that’s a sticker of a penguin LOL
There was version of the Micro-Frets that had a built in wireless transmitter
Had a harmony V maybe five years ago same exact model. The neck is super super slim and it played really well but the pick ups for microphonic
Any idea where I can get a Gibson sg hardshell brown case that is normally about $200?
3:37 I think thats just a sticker of a penguin
I thought that🙂
My first Gibson was the 78 SG Special. I still have it. Has the original pickups.
Oh, you should definitely check pre-EVH Kramer basses. Those are some funky axes.
The '78 Standard would have also had neck binding. I had a '76 which was exactly the same as that '78 except it had the original pickups and original black speed knobs. No mini-toggles and a bound neck with Block inlays starting at the first fret. It was a killer guitar and I shouldn't have sold it. That finish is "Walnut"..my favorite SG color.
those were the old Carvin pickups on the SG
Trogly I'm pretty sure that Micro Fret Guitars were a Maryland shop they did guitars and basses. I used to manage a pawnshop and had a couple of the basses come through the shop, had to research them a little myself.
Love that Harmony Flying V and would love to see you get that one and do a demo on it!
If you freeze the video at 9:03 the close-up of the Micro-Frets headstock reveals what made them unique. The NUT was adjustable for intonation purposes, as well as the bridge. You can see the G string's "nut saddle" is extended beyond the rest of the strings, which means this guitar can play a first position C chord (with an open G string) and a first position E chord and they'll BOTH play in tune. Most electric guitars (especially ones with a shorter scale length ie. Gibsons) can be tuned up so that only one or the other of those two chords will be perfectly in tune.
kramer worked for travis bean ,thats where the aluminium neck came from but travis did all aluminium and players complained about the necks when they were cold not being good to play fof the neck hand so kramer did the t shape cross section with the wood added to try help that, seems the biggest problem was that the aluminium stretches longitudinally as it warms up and made the tuning a bitch as you play them
If you're going to Goodwill thinking you're going to get a deal, think again buddy those days are long gone
Microfrets were actually made in my town in Maryland
Mark Farner played those MicroFret guitars during his early Grand Funk Railroad days.
3:38 wait thats a penguin sticker not a finish crack lol
A couple of these guitar's were interesting. That Harmony flying v look's like it may still be a good instrument. The aluminum neck's on the Kramers remind me of the Travis Bean guitar's made in the 70's.
I think Gary Kramer got his start working at Travis Bean.
Gene Simmons' original, Kramer-made 'Axe' bass had the same aluminium neck and headstock shape 🙂 And I was discussing the Peavey T-60's bass equivalent T-40 with a bunch of people only last week! 😀
In new NJ.. we know are instruments... As least I do . Can't say that for everyone at guitar center around here though
at 3:38 that little ding looks like a penguin!
Have you ever reviewed an Aria pro 2, the one with a through neck?
That's no surprise that Goodwill got the provenance right. They have a habit of getting their more valuable items appraised so they can charge the most they can 🤷🏿♂️
I think Peter Kellett made some aluminium bodies for fender
I may be High, But that's a Penguin 🐧
most likely what that strat was was a refinished to look like aluminum 80 fender heavy metal strat. not actually a aluminum body. as everything is correct for the model eccept for the aluminum. yellow finish mixed with Big STRAT logo with the underbrush matching the finish. the only thing i would say was probably replaced is the floyd rose special as the nut dosnt match. but then again it could just be a correct enough partscaster to convince me because that headstock does look suspiciously new
The first sg and the guitar at 14:15 have the old Cavin 22 pole pickups.
I've had a combination of writer's block, and losing the love for it for about 10 years.
finally wanted to do it again, and broke my finger on my fretting hand.
Now I'm back to square one
Wallmart!
The tone controls on The Peavey T60 actually change the pickups from single coil to humbucker just by dialing down the knob. Unique not only then, but now as well.
T 60s were great guitars. Some folks didn't know that the tone knobs were also coil taps- if the tone was all the way up to 10, it was single coil, if you turned the tone down to around 8, it would go humbucking.
Great job!!
That last Epi that was revealed has a Gibson on the truss rod cover. That is indicative of early 2000's Epiphones that were made in either Korea or Japan. I happen to have a 2003 Epiphone Les Paul, made in Korea, which has the exact same cover, indicating that Epiphone is Gibson owned of course.
Blows my mind that someone would actually donate, a Gibson. But that is a nice find 🤘🤘
Goodwill is just about $ now. They dontneven pretend, at least not near me. They literally sell next to nothing actually IN the shops and what is in there is bizarre. Last time I checked jeans, just regular ass blue jeans, they have tagged at like $25.....at Goodwill.
omg that lightning made me jump out of my ass - spooky indeed
My carvin v220t has the same pickups and tuning pegs the mini toggle switches are for the the pickups
Only 50 Gibson The Paul's were shipped in 1978
That Babicz (I know, I spelled it wrong) is a travel guitar. The neck comes loose and folds towards the body.
I had a rare Ovation Single cut electric guitar with these Carvin pickups installed in it. They were great.
shop Goodwill used to be a secret for u. that secret lasted about 5 years.. it died roughly 1 year ago. you can still get cool stuff but you can't get the 85 to 95% below value deals we were getting
The acoustic with the weird string anchors was supposed to spread the string tension out so it wasn't all pulling on one spot, deforming the top less. That was what their ads said at the time. No idea if it worked or sounded good.

The aluminum neck started with Travis Bean before Kramer
Nice little Barenaked Ladies reference... ;-)
Really dig these episodes man! Awesome vibes everywhere lol
Regarding the Micro-Frets guitar, back when Genesis was touring Selling England by the Pound, Mike Rutherford picked up a Micro-Frets 6 string bass from a music shop in NYC. He used it when recording The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Prior to touring the Lamb, he had the 4-string bass components removed from his Rickenbacker 4-12 double-neck and the Micro-Frets neck and electronics installed. That's the guitar he used for the Lamb tour.
Fast forward 30-odd years and Sébastien Lamothe, of the Montreal-based 1970s-era-Genesis re-creationist band The Musical Box, chased down a Micro-Frets 6-string bass and put his Rickenbacker 4-12 through the same modification.
BTW, the shows were insanely great.
Frank zappa was a big fan of the carvin 22 pole humbuckers, he even had 2 of them in his hendrix strat at one point
The 1st bidder at 803 is yelling "FU Trogly!":🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
