I'm facing this someday... I only have 57 guitars at this point,... some really great guitars,...some budget... some handmade... all really playable and well taken care of. But as we all know, we don't really own,...we are the stewards of these beautiful instruments.... and then when we pass on .... they get passed on. The best we can do is find really caring young people who will love and respect these guitars (and amps...)... and if I'm smart I'll do this while I'm alive.
The market is very fortunate that there are enough young players to continue and carry the torch! Thanks for watching 😊
I’m here David if anything just let me know ! I happily look after them and love them as you do
Good luck. I'm trying to sell 4 pretty nice ones locally at great prices and getting zero bites. I don't know how strong the market is now compared to 10-15 years ago. The world is flooded with guitars with hundreds (thousands?) more made each day.
Wow. I really enjoyed this video! Great job guy. There’s no better guitars In this great world of ours than American made Gibson and Fender electric guitars! And this collection is breath taking! Thank you!
Hey! Thanks for your comment. Really appreciated and thanks for watching 😊
Thank God I'm not the only person like this.
🙌🏼
Thanks for the upload.
Never used to be a fan of relicing until I realised that when done well, it can make guitars very comfortable to play and removes the fear of dinging that nice, shiny new guitar.
150 guitars in a 1 bedroom apartment is obviously necessary for effective soundproofing!
Well said! The comfort is the most appealing thing for us. The Mexican made road worn series really show this off… thanks for watching! 🙌🏼
a well done relic is a work of art. really enjoyed the video
Agreed! Thanks for watching 😊
A man with good taste, for sure.
I like naturally reliced guitars. Like you I probably will never get one reliced myself. I do have severe and love differences between them.
I swing either way all the time. I’d prefer one naturally done, but some of the boutique ones are masterpieces and do add playing comfort when done well. I’d never do one myself and 99 out of 100 DIY jobs are bad! 😬 Thanks for watching! 😊
New fan from So Cal.
👋 hello from the UK. Thanks for watching! 😊
Very cool presentation.
Glad you liked it!
Hi. I'm new to the channel. Really enjoyed watching that, looking forward to seeing the rest of the collection. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching 😊🙌🏼
Awesome.. 👍
Thanks ✌️
Man how crazy is that about a collection of so many guitars without any knowledge from the would be owners. I guess that is the excitement of the job in working at auctions, since literally anything could turn up
The best thing about the job! Thanks for watching! 😊
If you’re going to hoard some thing, it might, as will be guitars
Well said!
If you can find one, a USA Highway one strat or Tele will relic very naturally, due to the thin skin finish. I managed to pick up a 2004 version, and it’s a beauty.
They do indeed! Great guitars also 🙌🏼 Thanks for watching 😊
About the Deusenberg...
I’m from Europe (The Netherlands). Everybody here knows the Czech people have been great at building musical instruments for the last centuries. They built almost all of the stringed instruments used today still in classical orchestra’s.
Their craft is beyond any there is. Bigger brands like Spector have a line of instruments crafted in the Czech Republic.
Probably you could compare their quality with Japanese or Korean built instruments. So, way better than US Gibsons or Fenders, 😉.
🖖
Agreed! We see a lot of old “Bohemian” instruments that form our classical instrument auctions. Many, many fine things. Korean instruments are also some of the best.
I did an interesting “blind test” on one of our guitar team a few months ago. I handed him a Deusenberg “blind” and asked him where it was made. His reply by feel was Korea, which is where our comment on this comes from. I found it very interesting!
Love the brand. Haven’t seen a bad one…. Yet…
Thanks for watching! 😊
those big 70's headstocks came out in 1968
That’s right. We love ‘em 🙌🏼
The 2015 Melody Maker uses P90S pickups with magnetic slugs, not the standard P90's with the bar magnets. And they sound brittle AF.
As thin as the originals, no doubt. Thanks for watching ! 🙂
thank you so much to ask duesenberg guitars were made in Korea (obviously) and duesenberg never communicate on it, and make believe duesenberg guitars were made in germany (at best only electronics were assemble in germany).
Incredible collection
Tip of the iceberg! 😄
What’s incredible about it?
The value of those guitars has barely kept up with normal inflation.
@davedeville6540 I wasn't referring to the value, its an incredible collection.
Ok.
I don’t think we assign the same meaning to the word “incredible”. To me this is more a case of hoarding than a collection.
@davedeville6540 well if you're a musician with a passion and the means to buy.....then why not....
An amazing collection.
But: please be careful handling and cleaning the guitars and cases suffering from mould. That stuff is a health and safety hazard and should not just be wiped off, which will just launch the mould spores into the air. It needs specific treatment to kill it, I think diluted IMS, used in close conjunction with a vacuum cleaner. A conservator at your nearest large museum should be able to advise if you don’t have someone in-house.
Sound advice. Thanks for watching! 🙂
I discovered your channel just a few days ago and I like it! The knowledge about guitars and their history of the man leading throug the store is awesome!!
And what an effort to photograph all these guitars, look inside for assessment and to restring them!!
@ duesenberg: the wood and finishing work is done in Varasdin/Croatia (lower costs as in germany), the final assembly is made in germany (I think Hannover)
👍🤘
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the commend and double thanks for watching! 😊
A maze inggggg
Thanks!
The original Palm Bay guitars were made in England
Cool history. Thanks for watching 😊👍
Cool history. Thanks for watching 😊👍
How about one collection and 15 guitars! Can I get in there?😂
Sounds a lot more manageable! Thanks for watching! 🙂
Lake Placid blue, is a color name by fender. It’s funny that Gibson and Fender generally use the same color palette but name the colors differently. Not a fan of relic’s, I think they over do it and look awful for the most part. I do like the satin and flat finishes that are coming out these days from various brands and builders.
I never have seen the moving pickup model DA before, I’ve seen and played one of the clear acrylic body guitars.
Holy moly only a 1/3rd of it? New subscriber by the way. Thank you, wish I could join the fun.
Welcome to the channel, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! 😊. The Satin finish thin skins are great. 👍
Keith Richards says he's got a thousand guitars. But he adds ''Give me 5 minutes and I'll make 'em all sound the same''.
True. We found the latest That Pedal Show Johnny Marr episode a good watch where he explains how different guitar make him play in different ways and can inspire a song. Worth a watch!
@@GHguitarauctions Have you ordered Johnny Marr's book about his guitars? Your 330 could almost be his.
It’s on my list to add to the archive. Very similar to his indeed!
A few weeks while placed opposite to someone at a large table in a restaurant to someone I barely know, any worries about conversation were soon eased when he comes out with him knowing Johnny Mar from his business fitting “Smart homes” for the wealthy. Said he’s so down to earth and a keen runner. The mind blowing thing about him is how he literally had to make himself avoid using anything on the pentatonic blues scale for his work with Smiths? That’s the true definition of a guitar genius imo as someone who doesn’t follow anyone but his own thing. And of course he has some tasty vintage guitars that he’s acquired over the years
It’s the best way. I am “pleased” to report I still haven’t “mastered” the pentatonic scale after 25 + years in service. Nothing to do with my ability of course…. 😅
There is only room for one relic in my house.......Me😏
😂 like it. I’ll use that one in the coming years! Thanks for watching 😊
Some great guitars there, is the rest of the collection similar or are there other brands - ie Gretsch? By the way Abalone is pronounced Abolonee ! 🙂
Certainly a bigger mix in the rest. A few Gretsch guitars including an old Streamliner and a 90s MIJ White Falcon. There’s definitely no repeats 👌
@@GHguitarauctions Sounds interesting - I assume it's the March auction for the rest, or maybe even March and June?
The rest will be March 👍🙌🏼
Not a relicing fan. What year is the red custom strat please?
Hey Colin. It’s 2011 👍
I’ve had some really good buys from auctions over the years with guitars and still think it’s the way to go? Sold my Brook 12 fret custom Taw today and travelled all the way To Sheffield at Richer sounds after they gave me a reasonable offer. I would be interested to know if there is a difference between how a shop like Richer Sounds would operate on making a third say as they do tell you the price they would sell it for? Compared to that of a specialist guitar auction like Gardiner Hougate with working out the commission from something that would sell for £1800 say?
Have to say one more important thing imo having played so many different new and used Gibson Acoustics today in a shop, not one of them did it for me compared to the real good Gibson J35 I own. I would urge wherever possible for people buying at auction to get to the Auction room to try each guitar as it’s such a subjective thing. The Gibson’s showed here look like more special than the norm imo
We essentially give the client an estimate before hand and agree a reserve. As it’s an auction, we cannot give a firm sale price, but can give a good guesstimate. Sellers fees can be discussed on consignment, but the “standard” rate is 18% inc VAT. As you suggest, we alway advise buyer to try before you buy, although we also offer condition reports and give an honest appraisal of playability and sound. We’d rather a happy customer than one that bids blind and goes away disappointed 😊
I assume you mean Richtone Music. Richer Sounds is a hi-fi outlet!
@@kingstumble sorry my mistake and yes I did mean RichTone in Sheffield
Would you buy a relic'd car....??
I actually would! 😂 I’m into old “rat look” VWs, but I’m definitely in the minority there… again, like guitars it has to be done very well 👌. Thanks for watching 😊
and not 1 lefty 😞
Check out the “lefty special” episode 😊👍
Custard finish ?
Really !
Well, officially White (yellow aged), however it’s a joke / theme from a previous episode, put it for the enjoyment of some of our regular watchers 😊. Thanks for watching 👍
How could one guy buy so many undesirable guitars???
Except for the Rick..
I wouldn’t want any of those.
He seems to have chosen guitars from the worst era of these companies...🙄🙄🙄😫😫
Could be his age, or how much money he had
There is certainly a mixed bag although desirability can be subjective… I guess you could argue that they will sell to their next custodian who had the desire to bid and own. There are obviously some questionable things, but also some great sounding / playing instruments throughout 😊. Thanks for watching. 😄🙌🏼
True . He does seem to have a lot of uncommon Gibsons that I never heard of or saw before . I can’t see a lot of his guitars getting real big money .The dude had unusual taste . Not many worth drooling over .
We are all diffrent , relic guitars do nothing for me .
Exactly this. Thanks for watching! 🙂
I’m with you. Relicing (is that a word?) to me is something you earn.
Lol nor me. So imagine my having to explain to my mother today how the late 50s looking Les Paul Burst with chipped finish is in fact a brand new vintage “relic’d” guitar to appear like Peter Greens famous Burst. To explain how a guitar costing tens of thousands of pounds has chipped maple top and dings in the neck and yet is something that will be treated so carefully to avoid any real damage is like an oxymoron lol
Stop talking and show us the guitars please.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Watch it on 2x speed then.
