Hello Sam! Nice to see you doing your favorite work again. That was really a storm of work, outside and inside! As always well explained and as always a little trick in mind. It's wonderful to learn from you, even if it's just on video, because self-experimentation makes you smart! I wish you and your family health and a successful year 2024. Greetings from Vorarlberg from Lake Constance! Andy M.
Hi Andy, sorry for the late reply. Been productively busy! Let's hope we all end 2024 with even a little less war and a little more peace in the world. I'm not currently very optimistic but I wish for it nonetheless. Stay well sir!
Now sharing the sentiment. Thanks Sam. You definitely give great information. I suggest doing more research on the titanic though. If you're getting close to truth, your station would be in danger. So, sorta glad you don't talk about it too deep. Let's juat say, the people on that ship were way more important than you think and know. Our whole financial system was created on that one event. Cheers on the research and cheers on the work.
@@ranman58635 I know it's only a personal preference.... but I've not seen anything about Titanic that gives me reason to think it was any more or less than 'packed liner hits iceberg and sinks'. Evidently, from your comments, you have a different understanding which you're entitled to. Like I've said before, I don't change a view unless I come across evidence that contradicts it - evidence that's clear enough, strong enough and quantitatively enough to contradict and supersede the existing 'best hypothesis'.
@@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars , I'm surprised you are not aware of Rockefeller and a few other's. It's almost common knowledge now. I'm not trying to change your mind, perhaps open it as you have us.
@@NickRoche You are right! I can't believe I didn't notice. I will hang my head in shame. The earlier springy sound had Tokai written on them. They're f****n great guitars. I do like Japanese guitars a lot 😀 I have a Orville Les Paul from Fujigen Gakki 96'. It looks a little like Peter Green's guitar. And a Fender (Japan) strat 62 in candy apple red and again from Fujigen.
it's a bit weird, fender first serial number should be "s" for the decade (70-79). The "76" also looks blacker than the rest. To my knowledge, fender put those neck serials starting in 1976+
My research showed that these 76 guitars DID start with ‘76’. They are the only ones that did which is why people always say “no USA guitars had serial numbers starting ‘76’…” yet apparently these did.

@@ranman58635 I don't find myself drawn to those theories. You do. We're all different :)
Ey up! Final prospect are Tokai saddles
They sure are! Just like on my 82' Goldstar Sound.
"Final Pro Spec" I think
@@NickRocheYes! That makes more sense

Yeah, Final Prospec was Tokai mimicking Fender's Pat Pending saddles (at least, that's what I was told many, many years ago)!
You tell 'em, Sam.
If NASA looked at that close up at 3:05, they’d think it was a photo of the insides of that Martian meteorite
You know what - that's pretty much exactly what was in the back of my mind somewhere when I first saw all these marks!
I’m thinking that switch it’s a fender switch either. Making me believe the pickups are fender. I think that needs some looking into. IMO

very interesting, thanks for the info I didn't know that :)
That could be the wrong bridge for that guitar.
