The next time my wife says I have too many guitars and projects...I'm showing her this video!👍😎🎸🎶
This is less than half of it, probably.
@@TheGuitologist wow!👍😎🎸🎶
One is too many and a thousand never enough.
Just sit your wife down for a quick algebra lesson that mathematically proves how many guitars you need.
x = the number of guitars we have
n = the number of guitars we need
n = x + 1
See? Scientific, mathematical proof! Plus, she learned some new science! 😂😂😂
@@rchavez2112 Keep coming back! :P
I love it. "I forgot all about having this one." Over and over again.
IKR, how's that even possible?! Not knowing what you got or even then seeing it and can't remember when, where and how much, etc?
Bet Gibson could help ya get rid of 'em really quick!
CRINGE !
I'm sure they could. Maybe they can borrow my lawnmower this time and bury them up to the headstocks.
@@TheGuitologist how much for the fender telecaster i would pay 100
I only buy black guitars. Wife can't tell the difference and lost count.
Nice plan!
That’s me, but 3 tone sunburst instead!
How did I just find your channel? UA-cam is where I spend most of my internet time. This channel is gold. Educational. Funny. Great personality. I hope that this channel grows to a million subs. Keep it up Brad.
Your a lucky man...my wife won't even let me have a closet...lol!!!!
My GF used up all the main closet in the master bedroom..she was nice
to make me a little 1/4 space of the closet in the spare bed room...
Im thinking it's 1/8 size now :-(
get a new wife!
You should change your name to The Guitarcheologist.
Aaah, Videos like this!
I love them, like the garage sales and pawnshop videos,.
When you start watching you never know what cool old stuff you will see.
Love it.
You sir, are a cool nerd!!
There will probably be another video, at least, if not two.
Now that is a stash of cool guitars! Holy smokes!!
"Various stages of projecthood" you hit the nail on the head with that little phrase, I got such a laugh out of that one.
Bought a native sons strap a few months back and it’s the best strap I’ve ever owned, holds it position well, it’s comfortable, and of course it looks great
They were a great sponsor. Hope to work with them again someday.
Brad Dude!!! Your closet looks exactly like my living room over here in Germany (because we don't have closets here)!!!! Even including the amazon boxes haha wow!! Awesome! Bob in Germany. (leaving soon. Yayyy!!!)
Watching this makes me simultaneously envious and relieved.
hello my name is brad and welcome to my virtual garage sale
Nice vid, lots of surprises. I'm interested in the blue Delray. Looking forward to pt 2.
“...as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold - everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment - an eternity it must have seemed to the others standing by - I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, 'Can you see anything?' it was all I could do to get out the words, 'Yes, wonderful things.”
Didn't those people die mysteriously too?
@@TheGuitologist Where there's a great deal of money, generally unexplained deaths follow...
Now, about that Tele... 👌
I am LMAO..! Brad, I love that you have a large forgotten collection with many in the original cases!! it is just like Christmas when you open them up. Those 4 pickup Teiscos are fun to play.!
It does make it more fun when you've forgotten half the stuff you have. Makes you want to rotate what's out and what's put away.
@@TheGuitologist Hi Brad..I just emptied a storage unit I had for 10 years... the things I found in there were remarkable.. Guitars and speakers I don't even remember purchasing..!! LOL
Brad, my Teisco?/Japan St. George T-64 BASS VI 1962 was put under a bed by my mom for 15 years before I had it in my crawlspace for 10 years before putting in on the wall and making some METAL vids with the BEAST VI Dude!! It's never to late to make those suckers JAM!
(...and it's had a glued/cracked neck, repainted in 1980 and only makes sound, very lightly from the middle pickup, buzzes when you let go of the strings and other issues)
I love taking something everyone else has written off and making something of it. A little love and a lot of work usually are required.
What's the plan? Selling off the old stock for something new? Or just down sizing to just a few really good ones?
I will reveal that in time. ;)
I about fell off my seat when I saw the Del Ray since it was the exact one I owned. That was my first electric my father bought me around 1987 as a teen. Never really gave it chance, thanks for sharing
MAybe that's IT!!
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS
It very well could be. I checked the prices on these...wow! i think my father paid 90 bucks back in '87.
Once I saw that closet open up, and looked at the run time on this video, I knew it was going to be split up lol. Really cool stuff Brad!
Stunning old Ibanez Roadster hanging up!
I have the Ampeg Super Stud GE 500 in red. With fretless wonder frets. I put a Velvet Hammer pickup in the bridge, with a 3-way toggle. My first electric.
Cool. This one is set up pretty nice.
The Guitologist, I love the Bigsby. Seems to be made from plywood. Weighs a ton. Satan from Satan and Adam used to play one.
Dang man there was at least 6 guitars I wanted ,especially the 59 Dano ! :-) Thanks for sharing this with us Brad !
Thanks for watching, Todd.
And now the FBI knows what you have...
What fun! Made me go look thru my stash, some of which I haven't seen in 20 years including some I've had for 40+ years. Was like Xmas early...Now i'm juiced up to go thru all of them and rework with new setups and see how they sound. Have a Gene Autry parlor model, all mahogany body and neck, but has been refinished (wild hair my Dad got back in the 60's to do), that I got when I was 5 and was used then...68 now, so you do the math...and it still plays well. Also have a KayKraft tenor banjo, pearloid headstock overlay, closed back, all original around 40's vintage. I even ran onto a Trutone lap steel in case in my stash with original cord that is hardwired in, fingerpicks and slide, and an extra pack of strings. 40's would be my guess. Think I'll just keep all mine.
Your house is the kind of house I like to pick through.
“Okay, well this is just a collection of parts.” LMAOF😂🤘🏻✌🏻
Brody Sodon Awesome! Please do, and good luck! :) ✌🏻
Dang, that Ampeg really hits the spot! Can't justify another guitar any time soon, though.
Good luck on your sales Brad and congrats to any new owners in the future.
That tele at 15:30 made me actually gasp. Very nice
Wow, that brown Dan Electro looks just like my first guitar! My dad won it in a pool game at a bar called tge Flame Room back in 62! I somehow lost it in my move to Oklahoma back in 76.
I’d love to have it but I’m an old dude now on a fixed income and toys don’t fit in my budget these days but um so happy to see you sharing these memories! BTW, LOVED SEEING YOU RECEIVE TGAT Zion! Wow, what a beauty!
Man, that Matsumoku cat was really into the German carve! I've got an Epi SC-450 Scroll that was made in the mid-70s in the Matsumoku factory. Those all had German carves too. The SCs never gained huge collector value, and I can't imagine why not. I guess most people just don't dig that ultra cool scroll on the bass side of the upper bout, but I love it.
The backstory on my SC-450 for those who like to read about that kind of thing. I was working in the tattoo shop in Biloxi, MS, when a friend came by to tell me that "there's a Gibson guitar at a yard sale in Ocean Springs this lady wants $125 for." So I finished the tattoo I was doing and broke every traffic law I could on my way to get there, only to find out it was an Epi, not a Gibby. The lady said she worked for Epiphone in their offices for 30 years and the guitar was her retirement gift from the company, but neither she or anyone in her family were musicians, so it was in "mint condition." The dime-sized "bruise" on the treble side of the lower bout said that wasn't quite correct, and the chipboard case was why it picked up that particular blemish, but the rest of it was, and still is, in mint condition. So, after a few minutes of me playing pretty half-assed like it was too much of a POS to be worth much, along with some skillful haggling by both of us, I wound up with a new (to me,) soulmate. It's one of my least played, but most beloved guitars, and one of those I'll always cherish. I'm very glad she decided to finally part with it on that day. Between my happening to be living in that area, my non-musician friend stumbling across it in a yard sale, and my getting to it before anyone who may have known what it is had gotten to it makes for a long, strange trip it had been through. I never would have been living in MS if I hadn't been stationed there in the Air Force, so that applies to the "long, strange trip." It's great how things work out, sometimes.
I've owned one of those.
The Guitologist cool! "Owned," huh? See? Nobody likes those scroll guitars! 😂😂😂
@@jamesthe-doctor8981 I played it too. It was a cool guitar. Loved the German carve.
The Guitologist it's a fun one to play.
The Guitologist BTW I think the word you were looking for on the blue Del Rey guitar was "ferrule?"
Wow i really dug the color blue on that strat
I really dig the 1991 Fender Telecaster with Gibson pickup, I'd honestly keep that baby. Never really cared for those, but I like that one. My son has a Jim Root signature model Telecaster that I like as well.
I thought twice about it when I pulled it out, but I can't keep 'em all.
@@TheGuitologist dude I would keep that one lol, it gives me that Kim Mitchell kinda vibe that he put a Gibson pickup in a Lado guitar and sounds amazing, especially on his song Rock n Roll duty, such a great tune!
That was a great vid. Really looking forward to part 2!
oh dude my little Czech heart kinda sunk when i saw the Jolana gigbag and i knew what you were going to pull out of it. I've got one myself and i tend to play it as my couch guitar. Those pickups are microphonic as hell but it sounds so amazing. They are from the mid 60's. Mine is 1965, most were made from 1962 to about 67.
Jolanas are notoriously hit and miss on quality too, as I'm sure you know. This one seems to be a good one.
@@TheGuitologist I've owned many as they used to be sold for extremely cheap until about two years ago, so i know what you're talking about. Nowadays the bad ones tend to be in the trash and the prices are starting to rise even here in the country of their origin, though. Some models are usualy very good, the late 70's LP style Jolana Diamant and the 80's Rickenbacker 4003 style D-bass. They were the most expensive instruments in the range and it really shows, i have yet to see a bad D-bass myself. Some others I'd recommend are the IRIS and IRIS BASS tele style guitars, they were made in the early 70's and the bad ones ended up as "vikomt" single pickup models. Pre 1960 resonet branded guitars are also very good, but they are commanding 50's strat prices here as they're very collectible.
Love the 60s and 70s Japanese guitars...I had a lefty Satellite les Paul and it was awesome! And I've never been able to find another lefty. Wish you had some leftys I would be on it like a car bonnet....
Sorry man. I don't own a single lefty.
@@TheGuitologist I wish back in 1983 they never had that left handed Spanish guitar in school or I would have had to learn to play right handed! But as a 10yo boy all I wanted to do is play.....
HOLY SHIT !!!!! The 91 Tele N19 , That set up that is on that guitar is a Keith RIchards set up & it may have been 1 of his Tele's it sure looks like it !!! Everything about that guitar is spot on .
On the Telecaster, no, the roller nut came standard, it's the same as the American standard but with noiseless pickups, block saddles and roller nut
I really like that Gene Autry stencil acoustic. Sweet.
Me too. Hate to see the back of that one. It's the last of a handful of 40s and 50s stencil Harmonys I once had. They are super cool guitars.
Brad comes out of the closet. :-O I have a thing for Ibanez, like the one hanging
Man, my fingers hurt just looking at the rusted strings on those things. That is one heck of a collection. I remember when those weird shaped, elcheapo guitars were in every department store.
I recognize that red guitar with the damaged body. I don't remember the name of the Japanese manufacturer but they were sold in department stores c. 1970 as "Tempo." My brother had one with this same neck and body, but it had a black pickguard and a single surface-mount pickup. The pickup wasn't shaped like this but it also had dimpled gold foil under a chrome cover. There was also a two-pickup version. I wound up with the guitar and at some point in the 80s I carved it up and made a short-scale bass (actually, "tenor" or "piccolo" bass depending on how I felt like stringing it). Gave it a Badass bridge and a Bigsby, too. Yes, I'm sorry I did that; now that I actually play [at] guitar it'd have been a blast to really fire it up.
Lol every day is like Christmas in Brad's guitar closet! Hey I forgot I had this!!
I have a 67 Teisco Del Rey Tulip.
Its maybe an inch thick ,totally weightless and a black pick guard with silver tulip stenciling ,amazing sounding instrument, i have only 11 guitars and i play this one the most
Can you show us the best way to make a guitar center wall like that? What hardware do you use and what can people do who rent and can't pull holes in walls?
Not a bad idea for a video. I'll consider that.
And my wife thought I have it bad with my little studio and 3 guitars. I even downsized over the years. I do like that Blue Mexican Strat though.
Wow, I wish I had a closet full of treasures like that. If I hadn't just bought a guitar yesterday, I'd make you an offer on that Ampeg Super Stud. That '91 Tele is awfully sweet too.
agreed that is fine looking guitar.
Paul Von Tyrant ddfk
Yeah that 91’ telecaster is a cool guitar, I bet it would sound amazing with some Fishman fluence pickups in it? Maybe even ad a Floyd Rose as well to get some killer dive bombs going too? Lol
That closet us paradise!!!!
Dang, The Roadstar Is on the Block??? What's up, man ???
Pre Shred era IBZ. I dig it.
I know I gave the bridge hell, but it's a sweet playing guitar. Neck is killer.
I fell better now...I thought I was the only one that kept to many old projects.
Dad Gad I hope you didnt hurt anything when you (fell)
I see the potential in everything. Can't keep em all though.
dude,, its like Narnia in there,,, some cool stuff. thanks for showing us..
loved the 12 strings,, never knew they done such a thing in elecrtic guitars.
@@TELE6220 kids and keyboards don't mix well, sticky fingers.
The thing that got me was how thin these Japanese guitars are. My 1st electric was a Strat type made by Apollo. It had all the pickups and hardware that many of these have. When I saw the Stones and other groups on Saturday morning rock shows, like the Paul Revere & The Raiders, that had Vox amps and guitars, I made a teardrop body and put the Apollo neck on it. Yuck! It was even worse than the original confirmation. My brother had the 2 pickup version of the Silvertone amp in a case.great look at your collection. Good luck! pt.2 will be as interesting. Thanxz
Optimistic recommendation, for labeling apply a Number, can be the sequence you unearthed them from the closet, May minimize disputes about which item. this is 37, this is 42. etc. ? Proud of your decluttering efforts.
Oh man, looking forward to this video. I fee the situation you’re in, I’ve done the same thing. Trying to fix and move these things to make room and fill up the account a little.
I had the danelectro u-1 reissue like the silvertone you have, with the one pickup in the middle. I would kill to have one of these for a project. Awesome collection!!
This guy must be realllllllllyyyyyy good friends with native sons goods.
You must be referring to the strap collection. Most of those are vintage. ;)
dont need any guitars but a secret closet would be cool
The Humbucker tele is my fave, i can imagine uncle doug playing the silvertones
Through the right amps, Japanese guitars sound awesome.
That guitar before you stop the video for paper is a Univox ET270.
Cool shit man ! Love those old funky guitars as well. Looking forward to seeing the rest.
Brad... I have that t-shirt in the same color!
Reminds me of my closet...I had to build a second level into it. 😛
Great Video. What a cool Vault man... Cool and sometimes strange looking Guitars. Nice watch!
I like unusual guitars.
love this guy.
The Jolana you show at 16:40 is a funky guitar for sure - and not in a good way.
I bet they are absolutely rare over there in the States, but they were - and still are - quite common here in East-Europe,
since they were made in Czeczhoslovakia, a state that does not even exist anymore. These were the best electrics you could have back then in the Eastern Bloc until like 1989.
These Jolanas are dirt cheap here in Hungary, however, the hollow bodies like Marina, Tornado, Alexis and Rubin are getting more and more attention and bigger price tags nowadays again.
that 91 tele might have to be my birth year guitar hmmmm i need a tele and i love a nice project!
I had a black DelRay like the blue one 35 years ago. On mine the pickups were really weak. The body wood was really soft and dented easily. I gave the roller bridge to my brother for his UniVox Hi-Flyer. The rest was put aside for a future project. I don't remember what I did with it, but I think that I eventually tossed it out, unfortunately.
IS there an old sunburst Supro? IT was my first, I'm negotiable but I'd like to pay the same as that one, $8 and 2 blank cassettes... I'll spring for the 90 minute Dolby tapes even!
@@ChristofferNelsonG Lol, my shift finger has some latency with the typing hand or sOme shIT!! I need better fiber optics cables in my brain maybe?
Are those the Silvertone Amp-in-a-case things behind you on the right? I remember those! We used to mess with those in the late 80's because my friend's grandfather had one. We were in our 20's and in a band and we'd screw around with one of them when we were in any kind of downtime from practicing or gigs. They're fun to mess with! You can actually get a cool sounding fuzz from them! EDIT: Yep! You confirmed it! Wow! Brings back memories!
At 31:00, missing the *bushing*. As we age, word recall is the first to go...
As I don't get much sleep it's the first to go, that's for sure.
Maybe just forget about 'bush' as you age !?! ;op
That Ibanez is a solid guitar. Early 80s something like that ☺
Looks like a Roadstar model, good guitars
Such a cool video I love the chill when you're about to open the gig bags or the hardcase ! I Love this Silvertone I'm sure it's a great axe for slide guitar
I'm a lefty, so I hate to convert any old guitars for my playing style. That said, I loved seeing you go through all your guitars, especially the teiscos! I have an old teisco I paid fifty bucks for and turned it into a drone guitar with an ostrich tuning with a bunch of old bass and really thick gauge guitar strings. It's also a nice slide guitar as well.
My favorite was the Heit Deluxe by far. I've grown to like older full hollow-body guitars for their feedback capabilities as you said.
Yeah i'm always a bit sad when i see cool old guitars that i wouldn't be able to play cause i'm a lefty, but when i see a nice double cut i'm always thinking of how i could convert it to lefty lol
@@joeloxig6872 Yep! But it's also kinda annoying to have the volume and tone pots stabbing your left arm as you play since it's all flipped. It's not the worst thing in the world though. I have a squier jaguar that I flipped into a lefty that plays pretty decently.
That Silvertone 1448 is killer!
If guitar center had a section called "garage band gear" it would be your closet
And they SHOULD have such a section. If I ran the store, they would.
Heck yeah! My favorite kind of video.
You already got me with the Silvertone Bass at the verry start.
I would love to rock out with the thing in my cover band, playing the blues songs.
But I live in Germany, and shipping would cost about an arm and a leg.
Yeah, plus it has rosewood fretboard.
@@TheGuitologist If you can proof its older than 2017 the rosewoord would not be a problem.
I would love to go over, clean all of them, buff some metal, give a it a service and a setup and see how they turn out.
That's been my plan all along too. I really enjoy working on guitar like these when I get the time.
#7 on the rack reminds me of the Takamine GZ-300 I paid $100 at a pawn shop for and gigged with for 4 years, lovely feeling guitar to play, hit a rough spot and had to sell it and a basket case 64 Fender Jag I restored to keep a roof over my head and ramen for a few months.
Concerning the Del Rey: missing a "ferrel".
Loved this video Brad. Awesomness!
Spacer, grommet, ferell...any of those would have been better than "errr...errrr....dwemelablor"
Ferrule.
Thx Bob. I looked it up to spell it properly and I still spelled it wrong!
Dan Auerbach would go nuts in your house he loves those obscure guitar and you have tons.
UPDATE: There's a LOT left. Here's what's GONE...
Walnut mountain dulcimer
1991 Fender Telecaster
1974 Ampeg Super Stud
Fender blue body and neck
1959 Silvertone Danelectro w/ matching amp
"Ringo Starr" Japanese project
Silvertone 1448 amp-in-case (case only)
1960s Sakai Prestige (collection of parts)
1942 Harmony Gene Autry Stencil
1970 Matsumoku 1803T redburst (Univox? Aria?)
how much for the blue 4 pu Teisco?

This is the way I have to do it to keep everyone straight.
You should have made a reverb store for the collection! “Guitologist Closet Collection” they might even feature it.
haha. I doubt it. I think they might be a tad snobbish.
You'd make bank off those in Los Angeles. But I'm sure some viewers are going to be really stoked off some of these, if purchased
When i was.a.kid, I used to hide a.couple of guitars up in the attic of my parents house. They would punish me for not washing my cereal bowl by taking my guitar AWAY! I had three up in there crwaling theough the owens corning pink panther. I still have dreams of when I play those, in my dream. Everybody's got a closet, make yours cool😎
I had an Ampeg heavy stud in HS. It was heavy and well made .I ended up trading it in on a 78 Ibanez l.p. copy which I always regretted selling it
What a great video, I loved it.
Oh dear lord mate, I thought I was bad👊✌
You’re gonna regret it , there are some real gems there. Those old Japanese guitars are becoming very rare over here in the UK, at one time you could pick them up for peanuts but not now. Keep them, they don’t eat anything.
I've been looking for a Super Stud for a while. I owned a red model back in the late 80z.
The silvertone with amp case was my first guitar, plays very nice, also has screw behind neck to adjust the height like a strat.
I really like the third one
Tell me about that guitar rack! Home made?
Love those old Japanese guitars...
I love this guy and I hate I'm not him!
The tele had me at hello! I have a hip shot bridge needs a home!!!
Actually you could have made that an event with some of your friends, you haul stuff out of the closet and they test what's in a playable state and comment on the specs.
Holy Shit ! That closet was empty when you moved in . Lots of cool guitars. If I only had the space, I would buy a few.
Wow that Gene Autry guitar was cool as heck.
What is the ringo guitar? Every guitar you pulled out was the most interesting guitar I've seen since the last one!
Not sure, but I think it's an early Guyatone.
