Anybody ever figure out what brand that blue guitar was??

I wish you guys had pulled out and shown the cartridges. Is it possible to repair them with individual components or are the parts buried in epoxy potting? Because anybody that has vintage replacement cartridges probably wants an arm and a leg for them, even though they're now 50 years old and might be defective. It would be helpful to know if they're actually repairable.....

That's not a chicken-head, it's a Raytheon knob, often used on test gear and military equipment. I have a bunch of them, bought cheap at ham-radio fests.

" Flange" as a musical term comes from the wow and flutter and slowing down of a reel to reel tape as you press your fingers along the edge of the reel while the tape is in motion.

I’ve never seen one with a black headstock and Mapleglo finish. Did it come from the factory that way? I know the blacked out hardware, pickguard/nameplate and binding was an option in the eighties. It certainly could be factory as I’ve seen many unusual combinations from RIckenbacker over the years including combinations that I have only seen one of. Custom work without customer provocation seems to be a factory tradition at Rickenbacker.

wow this review is full of misinformation.

Nice review. I would very much like to see a closeup picture of that peculiar thumbrest.

Do you know of what strings I should use for a similar guitar?

Bright and crisp, bassy also

Scale Length?

If you want something lighter get a Horizon 1 it has the same wiring with a strat shaped body I love mine.

Does the P90 neck pickup have 60 cycle hum?

Great video! Old Peavey stuff is awesome! Quirky retro cool! I'm a huge fan of their basses too. Hartley Peavey's story is pretty interesting. He's definitely an icon.

Nice playing, Jason!

The explanation provided in the first minutes of this video are factually inaccurate as to the reason there were Japanese copies of American instruments being produced int he 70s ad 80s. There was zero "offshoring" by American guitar manufacturers in the lawsuit era. If they'd been commission for cheap labor and materials by GIbson et al, there would be no 'lawsuit'. The truth is the Japanese currency was very depressed in the 60s and young college kids becoming interested in owning Les Pauls and Strats could never afford them. So some entrepreneurial luthiers and investors created the broad swath of brands that produced arguably better quality American guitars, almost entirely on their own independent of any input from them, until Gibson sued Ibanez and lost. After that, it was "If you can't beat em, join em" for both companies with Fender Japan starting in 82/83 at Fujigen (Ibanez,, Greco, etc) and Gibson producing their Orville line (Gibson was already a registered copyright by another unrelated company in Japan at the time) at another well-reputed factory. This distinction is important in that it only further emphasizes the point that these early Japanese-designed guitars were of high build quality with solid electronics even before lawsuit companies began filling the demand for the American guitars played by the Beatles and then everyone after them. It is remarkable that they applied this lutherie to copies that were themselves as good as the originals. When we think of "knock offs" made China, Indonesia and Korea, it is in the usual sense of profiteering off other's work using cheap materials and approximations of the design and build of the originals. In Japan, by contrast, there is an ethic that people strive to based on imitation of their master of any given craft - as the path to one's own mastery, one must walk the journey of their predecessors. With that, profit is not a primary consideration, they know it will come with quality anyway. Iterative design. This, by the way, is why 7 out of 10 vehicles on American highways today is Japanese. We always getting owned by that country!~

Rites of spring isn’t emo bruh

It definitely does sound like the electric guitar sound which we heard in movies and music in the 80s when the culture was allowed to open up. I heard it and I still think it sounds like crap.

What pedals are you using. I've owned a few of the 1420 models and they definitely don't sound like that without an overdrive or distortion pedal

I have the same guitar. 64 Fender Mustang in Olympic White. All original to the screw. And... my Mustang neck is also dated 8 Aug 1964. They must have been sitting right next to each other in the assembly line!

Richard Hoover is the very first to speak the words and has the same conviction I've always had about how to approach a guitar build! From looking and studying the materials of violin making to knowing the age of the wood with regard to the growth rings, etc. There’s no detail, regarding materials and what they will do overlooked. His belief in only using old growth and not wanting to participate in the destruction of the Amazon forest also appeals very much to me. Finally someone who understands and actually practices what he preaches! That's what I call being professional and staying true to your values and beliefs. It simply cannot be better. Kudos to this man and his fellow luthiers and other employees who run an awesome company. And the fact that they are also a custom shop and can build the ideal guitar for everyone with their own specific wishes is the icing on the cake!

This video makes me not wanna buy one , I was about, tho, thanks

the pickups... are they really microphonic by design?

Nice playing! I've had this H1215 in my basement collecting dust...just realized it's a gem! Thanks for posting!

I found 1960 written on the white part under the strings, is that the truth about what year the guitar I'm holding was made?

The secret to making these things sound good is really heavy strings. I have baritone strings on mine with standard e tuning

cool

Great clean tone portion- it’s what the guitar actually sounds like. Thanks!

Hi guys, I truly love that guitar. I believe that I just purchased that guitar from elderly instruments in Lansing MI last week. Would love to hear about how you found it and when you sold it. jimi

I own a 1994 D-16T. Great Guitar. They have a mortise and tenon neck joint and also the bracing is different,,,hybrid bracing. Things they have incorporated into other models,

I like PRS guitars because you can drop them on their head and they stay in tune! : Daniel Johns singer for Silverchair

Squires didn't come out as early as 1981. It was the Bullet series that came out.

The USSR is super!

Looks like the Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order) bass. Cool sound!

1:57 The author says that these Urals were a sign of Western culture? These Urals were given out to almost all beginners by the school orchestra. Seriously. You could arrange an orchestra or a band, and apply to the House of Culture or the Palace of Pioneers, and you could be given this electric guitar for use. And about the Urals. It's just a stereotype that they were terribly made. The terrible operating conditions of these guitars literally killed them. They all came out of the factory with high quality. And the Sverdlovsk keyboard instrument company, which produced Ural electric guitars, made instruments for quality. And about the lag - how can an electric guitar be modern at all? And as for the buttons on the front panel of this electric guitar, everything is much simpler. The top 3 buttons turned the pickups on and off. And the bottom 3 buttons were responsible for filters to the pickups. There was no midi on the electric guitar. So you messed with it yourself, and then you wonder about it yourself. Rock and Roll did not help overthrow the Soviet Union. And in any case, as a resident of the Russian Federation, I do not consider this an achievement.

I have two of these, the first one I got one I turned 16 in 1978, the second one I got was because my friend bought the same guitar after he worked for about a year to save up, so that he would have the same guitar as I have and his brother gave it to me after my friends passing ,,, you’ll have to peel it out of my cold, dead hands, lol beautiful guitar would never sell. It only give it to family to carry-on.

Guys, do your fuggin homework before you describe something.

I just got a Japanese electric guitar from a family member. Probably mid 60’s. No name brand. Just a plate on the back that says made in Japan. It has a raised pick guard with a pick-up on the guard? Physical condition is a 9 out of 10. Just trying to get a ball park figure on what it is worth.

i got the edb 555 good bass but i feel like nobody know about it lol

You can't really play Clapton or Hendrix on these but you can make music on them. I hated these things when I started playing in 1981 but I do see some value in them now. Still not great in my opinion but they have thier place.

Are these worth $1,400?

Liked and Subbed!

I love my Fire Red Paul’s guitar!

Prescott Niles used it on the Get The Knack album photoshoot because it was a cool looking bass. Though he didn't use it for recordings.

Yes, that is the coolest guitar we've ever seen! As soon as I see one I think George Harrison and John Lennon

These vintage Japanese guitar has amazing something to offer especially if they're well kept

T Series guitars are some of the best solid body guitars made. Everything heavy duty and high quality.

Thanks for sharing this. I bought an L Jr. last year and this IS the sound. The differences between the Jr. and the L3 are the finish (Sheraton Brown on the Jr.) and two hardware changes: The Jr. lacks the adjustable bridge and truss rod.

How does the boost work?

Take care of her because it's a legend
