Those Original Grain Watches are actually pretty cool. Combining watches and guitars is a win-win in my book.
Ebony and Abalone, what's not to love.
Goodwill is not a charity like we think of them.
goodwill and the vast majority of these charity stores are scams who if they pay employees its minimum wage but many work for free as "work training"
ThatSG is a 70s pre lawsuit Ibanez with a new headstock vineer
btw Goodwill is not a charity it's FOR Profit.
And what it does for communities is a lot of smoke, mirrors, lights and spectacle. Very little substance.
I used to work for Goodwill and they refused to pay overtime. Anything over 40 hours was considered “donated time”. As a closer, I was always over 40 hours.
5:26 goodwill is totally not a charity. It's a for profit company.
People are dumb. A huge percentage of "charities" are just money laundering groups for politicians and pedos. Which are one in the same. They used to be real but now it's a total con. Stupid people ruin everything.
Gasp! Maybe you should tell the IRS. Oh, wait, maybe they know more than you.
Stop spreading misinformation.
Goodwill has been criticised for overpaying its execs and underpaying its low-level workers, but the organisation makes no profit, giving the vast majority (almost 90%) of its revenue to charitable service and the balance paying its staff. The only criticism could be that it's a bit circular in its use of the resources. i.e. that the donations are put to use training people which largely help goodwill get more donations. Even if that was true, it is still helping to employ a lot of people who would otherwise struggle.
Yeah being good can be dangerous to governments so they must comply to kapitalism duuh
90% to charitable service and the rest to its staff? So you're saying the company has no retained earnings? Try again. Goodwill is a racket that only duplicates what's already being done by employment security commission offices across the country. There are way better charities to give to besides Scamwill.
I worked there and the CEOs make 600 grand in a year. So non profit company that pays more to CEOs than salvation army pays all employees. Definitely for CEOs profit not company profits
Hell yeah some more Trogly, just can’t ever be tired of his videos.
I worked for Goodwill, they are Not a charity, they're a scam.
Oh yeah.
😂
100% kinda a little culty too.
@@unclesham5507 Oh Hell Yeah They Are!!!
@@Krullmatic The Sally where I am the staff steal the donated food and take it home with them & that 's the Least egregious they do, I can't describe the truly ugly stuff in Troglys' comment section.
I'm a 24/7 Alzheimer's caregiver and Trogly videos give me sanity!!!!
I salute you. Thank you for providing such a service to folks in need.
It is it's own particular heartbreaker.
Yre a little Giant, ask docter for vasopressine❤️👍
I worked at the local Goodwill for 5 days back when I was like 19. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time landed me on probation and I had to do some community service there. Wasn't bad, but I didn't see any music gear come through at all. It's since been torn down and replaced by a gas station.
The ES-120T makes a great guitar for cranking through tubes and studio recording. (you have to use a gate to keep the feedback under control). Not worth thousands IMO but worth hunting for.
I have an 81' Electra Phoenix 150.. extremely well kept and a very good player.. and surprisingly, quite a bit of figuring in the neck and maple layers in the body..
Where's that take on Gibson vs. Dean at Trogly ?! PRIORITIES !!!!!!
And the new Lizzy Hale Explorer Bird!
@@JohnnyArtPavlou I think he's mentioned that briefly actually.
Most Goodwill stores do NOT have the staff to actually research what any of the more valuable items are. They just see a guitar and assume it is valuable.
Ugggg man That 1983 Electra Westone Phoenix X189 was my guitar that was stolen a few years ago from me when I lent it to a friend, and he got it stolen. Thank you for posting this. I just emailed them to see if I can get it back, or buy it back.. I even have pictures i sent them of closeups to check. It has a distinct crack in paint.
11:56 Electra "The Paul" homage ... my first electric guitar in 1983! $220 new. Mine had four knobs and a bolt-on neck, but made in Japan and very nice choice for a first guitar. I also found a (matching) Crate wooden-framed used amp to go with it.
I've never seen a good deal out of shop goodwill. Actually it seems like things always go for way more than they should. I don't even look on there anymore.
Nothing but a racket.
That’s a really cool sponsor. Just wish I wasn’t spending so much on guitars that I could afford a nice watch!
Exactly.............
What time is it?
Time to look at another guitar!
Morning everyone...
(Other timezones are available)
Good Morning to You, its 7:37 PM in my time zone.

Congratulations on climbing to the summit of the mole hill. Enjoy your Gold Medal.
I'm quite surprised with the 120 being a low budget student model and not only having a arch top but back in addition. I also noticed something besides the blemish on the neck the tuners look rusted for something that has been in a gig bag. The SG must've been in the era when everyone and their brother were doing knockoffs that were almost exactly like the real thing. Except for the few things you pointed out it looks like the real seal. My brother picked up an electra while in the air force that was like a LP standard . It had more of a headstock like a Gibson. And some decent covered pickups. He replaced those with some Dimarzios and gave me the pickups which I installed in a Global SG knockoff. Those pickups made a difference in the sound of that cheap guitar fir the better. The old ones I could've used as microphones. I'm not personally familiar with a Seville but a friend had an arch top that was an awesome guitar.
Used to own that daisy rock. Actually a really good sounding and great playing instrument.
I am a manager at goodwill in my area. You should see the guitars we get in. Our items are sold on our ebay page. Once in a while I will sell lower ends in store. But the Martin and hollow body we got in got sent to ebay store. Ive yet to see either go up for sale yet, but sometimes it takes 4 or 5 months for them to post items.
James Hetfield’s V through the Kill Em All era was a Red Electra that was spray painted white & he put a Gibson truss-rod cover on it.
In my hometown (Coshocton) they send folks who are doing community service down to goodwill in order too work their hours, (whatever that may be) good idea! 💡
Trogly! I just want to say how much I appreciate you no longer doing the whole “let’s get the price thing”!
This is more to the point, more real, and just generally better. The way you’ve decided to include other prices a lot more is another thing I’d like to thank you for!
Keep up the great work!
Hello
Derpi, so glad you could make it!
Derpi in the house with a Silver Medal
That brown Electra is an X260 Invicta, not an X270. I bought one new in 1981 and it's still one of my favorite guitars. It also came in blonde - I have one of those as well. The set neck is fantastic. The one switch is a coil tap for both pickups.
You mentioned keeping your eye out for one - absolutely you should.
I still have an Electra Telecaster copy that belonged to my grandfather. All black with a white pick guard and has a neck humbucker and a single coil in the bridge. I believe the guitar was made in the early or mid 70's and he lent it to me in around 83'-84' and it was the guitar I learned to play on.
Very, very cool! 😀👍 My Big Bro had lent me his very good 'Diamond by Aria' JazzBass copy in '84 (I was 14) and I then taught myself to play it; I couldn't believe it when he asked it back 15 years later!! 😆
Man I’d love for you to do more PRS guitars. There are some interesting early years models that I know you’d fall in love with. I know you did a few (hollow body McCarty and a SilverSky) but I think if you got into the skunkworks of PRS like their private stocks and saw one in person you’d be blown away. That 10 top McCarty you had on a while ago was beautiful but a one of kind private stock just has a layer of special that I haven’t seen yet from brands.
I do want to thank you for getting me interested back into Gibson. I was burned on a few models before switching to PRS way back in 2010 and seeing some of the beauties of the late 70s and early 90s custom shop stuff you’ve shown makes me want to buy one soon.
I agree about the Private Stock instruments. A close friend has a first year DGT Goldtop, a true work-horse of a guitar.
I also agree about the Private Stock stuff. I own one and it's just amazing. Every time I play it, I can tell it was made by people who know what the hell they are doing, and actually care about what they are doing. I will say though, I've played quite a few of their US made Core models including Custom 24s, a DGT, a Tremonti... All of them were fantastic. The Private stock just allows you to have more control over what you really want and to have something much more unique.
@@JunkfoodZombieGuns Yeah, I dream about some of those PRS guitars, they are unlike any other guitar made (IMHO). I've a custom ordered Les Paul Custom as well as a CS Quilt Top Stratocaster, and I was as happy as could be until I played my friends DGT. Where as Gibson and Fender follow their tradition (which is a cool and good thing) the PRS are an entirely different level of build and purpose. Very cool that you have a Private Stock and I agree about the Core models. I've decided to save up for a Vela solely because of their Dynasonic style neck pickups. Paul Reed Smith the man is to guitars what Henry Ford was to the automobile. I'd own a PRS if I could stop myself from buying Les Paul and Telecaster guitars!
Working retail resale, I can't tell you how many cool guitars come through.. There was even a KAY guitar that came through one day.
I got rid of an acoustic 60's Kay dreadnought on craigslist a few months ago. I had a hard time getting rid of it, it ended up taking quite a bit of time. Beat up and not fully correct ( tuners were modern). I love finding "old" guitar gear.
@@RByrne If some You Tuber does a video though all the sheep run out as if they are in control of there own minds.
I just bought a guitar off of Goodwill online. It was a Lyon by Washburn strat. I paid $15 for it with $25 shipping - total $40. I got the guitar in about 5 days. It was packed very well and the bidding/buying process was pretty seamless. It came as described - I didnt like it (and somehow I knew I wouldnt) just for what it was not having anything to do with GW so I sold it. I would note though that the bid prices seem kind of high for what is being sold on their site - strangely high. I am not sure if there is any funny business going on or if people are running up bids and not buying, but I have seen guitars get bid up over their new retail prices or well above comparable Reverb sold listings which doesnt make any sense to me. I dont know but buyer beware. Thanks for the vid Trogo!
so back as a kid, i couldn't come up with schwinn bicycle or gibson guitar money, so i had to settle for cheap japanese stuff. today i am a japanophile and how i miss that westbury guitar my parents gave away as it was "just sitting there in the closet" but i do still somehow have a few teiscos as well as that electra bass
i had a daisy rock debutante. holy crap...that thing, totally stock, really had mojo. the bridge pickup was around 13ohm. It was a bolt-on single-cut guitar, but it really resonated unplugged. i rescued it and ended up selling for $300. pretty surprised that there was such a market for those guitars...
It's what's inside the watch that counts. They look so nice, but I'd have to see the movement first. 30% on a $500 item is significant. 😃
This is my favorite channel. Literally wait all day for it. Any giveaways soon?
12:45 - That Electra 'Phoenix' looks like a modified Westone from the 80's, down to the headstock shape! 😀
They also had a fake evh relic guitar. I tried to let them know but it sold for more than on reverb. The prices went thru the roof for guitars on goodwill after trogley did the first video.
They were crazy even before that
The silkscreen logo on the SG had the dot over the i intruding into the G. Pretty sketchy if not a fake.
If it was a lawsuit guitar even tho i wonder what one it was
My first guitar was the second Electra guitar. It was cool except the body was hard rock maple and very heavy!!!
I just swooped up a Randy Jackson HSN guitar from there and ALMOST bid on that Saville LP copy. LOL The RJ guitar is actually really cool. Well-built for what it is.
The skinny nut width and toothpick neck are the deal killers on tbe post early 65 Gibsons.
Ever since I was 25 and watched an episode from the first season of Highway to Heaven titled "Song of the Wild West", I've been curious about 70s era Gibson Hummingbirds. One of the main guest characters is seen miming on one (who can confirm if she's doing her own playing?), and that's partly why the Hummingbird is the only Gibson acoustic model I've ever lusted after. Another reason is that Jim McGuinn briefly had himself a 12-string version of the Hummingbird before the foundation of the Byrds.
I doubt anyone is gonna believe me but I work at goodwill that got that es 120t my coworker found it and me and him played it before listings it
I just picked up a Washburn Lyon at my local Goodwill for 47$. It's not half bad after I made a little truss rod adjustment.
Those look like they are made in the same factory as the 'Legacy' brand Strat copy I'd bought at the 'City Mission' 2nd-hand store around the corner from my home a while ago! 🙂 And I'd paid around the same price, too! I also cranked the trussrod a bit to lower the action and thus improve playabilty. It had a faulty Volume pot, but that was a relatively easy fix. The only thing I *don't* like about it: The fretboard is almost flat.
What up trogly? Lets go
I turn my collector friends on to the links when something cool pops up. One got a Boscarino 80's strat for 1200... a steal!! Super relived tho 🤣
Anyone know what year and model/s LP's are not weight relieved or chambered?
Correction: the early Electra Les Paul knock-offs did have the Gibson open book headstock until they got sued. Then they changed them to the wave style.
That Daisy Rock has a similar body style that my Slammer by Hamer has! Only a brighter finish!
That SG with the vibrola might be real. The missing binding along with the flat ends of the frets means this neck had binding at one time. This guitar was probably a real Gibson but someone heavily sanded the whole guitar to change the color then used decals to recreate the Gibson headstock logo. Still not worth the money either way. Great video Trogster!
no chance the SG is real...I notified Goodwill New Mexico days in advance of the auction close and they did nothing to modify the listing or stop the auction. Somebody paid $4201.00 for this FAKE. Here's some of my messages to GW:
Wrong tuning pegs, no serial number on back of headstock, no beveled edges on the back of the body, wrong pickup mounting, wrong pickguard, wrong neck joint to body, wrong fingerboard wood. Guitar is a poor quality copy.,
Auction of the guitar must be stopped. Listing misrepresents guitar as genuine Gibson product. It is a Fake copy.
Auction was not stopped after multiple messages that the guitar was a fake. The Fake Gibson guitar was sold anyway for over $4000 ! This is fraud and has been reported to Gibson.
Been to a thousand Goodwill Stores, and NEVER saw ANY guitars. I think the stories about someone finding a 1938 J-200 at Goodwill? NO!!
Not sure when it happened but I noticed today gibson retail prices went up again. Standards are now $2800
Final sale price on the SG was over $4000.
Yay!
Yo Adam, greetings Sir
00:33 Gibson ES-120T guitars? Had a chance to buy one in a shop for around $250. Of course that was in 1988 ...
Hey Austin. Did you contact the seller of the SG and notify them it was a fake?
It ended up selling for 4200 dollars. I saw the listing the other day and book marked it
Sale must have fell through cuz the SG is for sale again as of today (Mon 6/13)
The shape of that "SG Custom" reminds me of an ESP guitar?
I’m not a Goodwill fan at all.
A charity that pays the CEO multiple MILLIONS per year,
Seems a bit more “for profit” than “charity”.
Most "charities" are cons nowadays. People today are like children there whole lives.
I think GW runs the bid up on the high dollar guitars because a lot of times its so high no one will bid and you see the very same guitar up for auction again a week later. I've seen this happen dozens of times.
The body is a GK (Gibson Kalamazoo) 80's body. The large back plate covered a Moog active set up. Or at least that what it looks like, but no bolt on neck. Hummmm
Speaking of electra james hetfield flying v from the early days of metallica is a electra with a gibson truss rod cover
Almost looks like rosewood? Step away from the electrics for a bit. A D28 has rosewood back and sides, from Brazilian to Indian, and always has. :P

Great video.
That watch is the sexiest thing you've had on here in a while... And I watch every day.
SG $4201. The "Gibson" logo font is leaning way to the right. It also looks like the triangle points on the diamond logo are too uneven, unless it's just the weird angle of the photo. And the truss rod cover appears to be just slightly covering the bottom tip of the diamond too. LOL Unfortunately for the winner, the item is sold "AS IS" and according to the policy, GW isn't going to accept returns for non authentic items. At some point, GW is going to end up in court over this stuff, if not already.
That Gibson arch top looks exactly like an Epiphone Grenada.
I really like those watches. Cool sponsorship.
My dad had an old Kalamazoo arch top once upon a time, my brother let his friend do a honkytonk man and he smashed it on the ground, needless to say, my dad was not happy.
👍👍
You can definitely touch up that neck dent with relatively minimal effort and it should be fairly invisible...
Goodwill is not a charity. It’s a cleverly disguised private business that makes millions of dollars of a year selling stuff people donate. Just imagine a Walmart except they sell stuff you donate to them.
Goodwill hunting, I see what you did there.
If we can’t get Trogly a job with Gibson… Maybe we can hook them up with Goodwill. 😜
I’d have zero problems sleeping returning a shit guitar back to goodwill
I have no problems sleeping after dropping a shit or two in their donation bins.
you could do one on SAVERS thrift stores?
12 minutes. Getting closer
Keep at it, 12 minutes is better than 13!
I sent this Goodwill store info that it was a fake.. TWICE. Because after the first sale crashed they put it up for sale again as a Gibson Custom. Third time they put it up for sale they just called it an electric guitar... as is. I think they finally sold it.
It was quite sick to see this relisted and sold many times for crazy numbers. Unprofessional on GW's part
Jeez, if there were any more red flags on that SG, it would take off in a strong breeze.
I got so excited when you came upon the Electra. I recently picked up an X-280 Working Man in a pawn shop for a great price. It looked just like that X-270.
Congrats
I remember when the Elctra guitars were just coming out, a friend in High School had one back in the late '70s, it looked and played pretty great.
Trogchamps rise up
Indeed YES, we need to try and get him to 250,000 Subs.
People might feel that a high bid is good for charity, good for them if they do.
Goodwill is a charitable organization, it's their job to get as much as they can for the stuff, sometimes charity doesn't make sense to the individual, that doesn't make them crazy or stupid.
And the tuners are rusted!!someone didn't clean their guitar!lol!
I go everyday to see what they have, I think that is your fault 🤣... thanks for this video! I swear someone could do a weekly show that shows some of the great vintage gear on those sites and reverb..
To me Goodwill is the. perfect example of American greed and workr Manipulation donations sold at exorbitant prices workers they're for 10 hrs paid for 8 favoritism barely paid over minimum wage. They take advantage of the working class they show favoritism to those of there own race all managers are black enough said

Good episode Matt Damon 😅
0:04: I see what you did there.
goodwill is NOT a charity!!!!
The SG is a 70's Ibanez
Close! I reckon it's a Greco! Ibanez SG's with a set neck had a different headstock shape, and those with the same shape had bolt-on necks. Greco guitars were made in the same factories as Ibanez ones, though 🙂
That elongated strat looked like a westone
I was thinking the same! Most likely from the same factory! 😉 By the way, one of my friends is also a Chris Henderson, and I ran into him only this morning while on my way to an appointment, after having not seen him for quite some time! 😄

First Fret Neck Depth.......
Height of Stinger off the Headstock.
.....I would never bid on anything from Goodwill.
Oh man, I totally forgot about Daisy Rock guitars. Are they still making them?
Ah yes I remember when that dude sold you the plywood Electra guitar.
LOL, yeah, he also reviewed the Electra with all the effects modules.
Back in the late '70s a friend had an Electra Les Paul Custom that from 10' away looked like the real thing.
The guy that sold Trogly the plywood guitar and misrepresented it has his own little RUclips channel. I won't put him on blast here but if you do a little digging you could probably find it.
@@ernestschultz5065 Oh gosh Ernest, give me a clue, please. I'd love to check him out!
I'll go back and re-watch that episode of Trogly's, maybe I'll pick up a clue or two!
@@ernestschultz5065 I think I got it.
@@ernestschultz5065 Nope, I struck out............
Hey trogly, the problem with these Original Grain watches is they're inexpensive Chinese made watches commonly found unbranded on site like wish and aliexpress, they're bought in bulk, a logos slapped on them and they're sold as high-end, "low cost" time pieces for $300, an insane mark up for the $5 they are made for. They are similar to MVMT watches in that regard, I wouldn't recommend partnering with such a company again, I don't know how they tricked Taylor Guitars into partnering with them, but these pop-up "luxury" watch companies are a huge problem in watch communities because their aggressive advertising and youtube partnerships end up tricking people that are unfamiliar with watches into spending a lot of money on a cheap product. Like someone shaving down the headstock on an epiphone and selling it to someone for $900 as a gibson.
Agreed, it must have been a Taylor's Marketing Dept. decision...........I agree with you in that these watches do not reflect the quality image Taylor projects. These watches use the Miyota 6S21 Movement, it is indeed a standard quartz watch movement from China (as you've stated), your estimate of the wholesale cost would also seem to be accurate.
I've dabbled in Horology for decades now from the years I worked as an instrument technician rebuilding timepieces.
A quality Swiss or even Japanese Movement can last a lifetime with regular maintenance. These are not that.
It would seem the majority of the cost is for the unique Taylor styling and adornments.
Wow. Holy s%$t. I am shocked that this play went into action, I figured Trog's would have his sponsor's vetted. I know nothing about the quality of watches, I have a nice ( to me) citizens watch that I recieved as best man at my buddy's wedding. I like it. Thanks for this comment and all because I was taken in with the nice looking Taylor logo and such, I would have never known better.
@@saltpeter7429 To be honest, I'd say it isn't uncommon for watches to use the less expensive Chinese (Miyota) movements. So to be clear, this sponsor isn't the exception but more the norm. And even with a Rolex watch most of the cost is the result of the case and dial. These Original Grain watches are very much the same, most of the cost is due to the case, dial and bracelet.
On my wrist right now I've a Chase Durer Special Forces 1000 XL, my wife paid close to $1500 for it back in the late 1990s. The ETA 251.262 quartz chronograph movement that makes up the workings of this watch cost less than $200 when brand new. Its the fancy case and dial that make up the majority of a watch's price.
I took a closer look at the Original Grain watch page. Considering the Taylor branding and how handsome they are I don't think they are overpriced. If I owned a Taylor acoustic I'd get the matching watch for sure.
Plus, they have abalone (my weakness).
You just have to be realistic about your expectations.
I don't know how they couldn't see that the guitar was a fake 😂
