That Casio guitar - samurai guitarist actually did a review on that one.... that could very well be the one he bought hahah. It's neat but the sound is very 80s casset player sorta thing
Hit up Samurai guitarist for the Casio guitar. He recently demo´d it. Maybe hes willing to send it to you. If so lets hope it doesnt end up in the never ending void like the first banjo from Rob Scallon did :D
The Casio was sold at KB Toy store in the 80s. I was around 7 or 8 when I saw one. It came with a cassette tape with guitar sounds on there. I remember a guy and his uncle were getting one and they were excited to trick their friends into thinking he could play. It stuck with me. That was the first time I realized I wanted to play guitar. I didn't get the Casio, but got an old Yamaha that year. 33 years later I still play...
i wanna know how that Ibanez El Dorado one was ordered as custom: "hmmm yes, I want a Talman, yes in a striking red finish, also please carve a bunch of textures that look like ears"
Looking forward to your demo of the Casio guitar. That Pedal, super ridiculous. People are so lame with their justifications. Reverb just pisses me off anymore. I was gonna buy a pedal and this dude was gonna meet me to avoid shipping. He wouldn't sell straight to me though. He insisted on me buying through reverb. I'd have to pay sales tax that way. He wouldn't take less than $130, with tax it was close to $140 I'd have paid. After fees he would collect $121. I told him I'd buy it in person for $120. He gets his money and I save some. I don't want to pay $140 to give him $120. He wouldn't do it. So stupid. I'd have even come up, have him $125 and he'd have been ahead. Just wouldn't budge.
From a buyer's perspective I can understand not wanting to buy outside of Reverb because of the protection they offer, but from a seller's perspective I'm not sure I get it fully. Perhaps it's because I am in NYC, and meet in public places with security guards and cameras. No knows where I live, the listing is taken down from Reverb immediately after and labeled as "no longer selling." But anytime this has happened the gear is of great quality and exactly as described, no one is scamming anyone and usually a friendship or "kinship of guitar nerds" is formed. That being said you also have to know what you are going to get from the sale if it went through Reverb and the in-person sale should be higher than what Reverb would give you otherwise I don't see the point,unless you hate shipping stuff or don't have the materials. All that being said, please know what you are buying. Several times through Reverb I have sold items described as honestly and straight forward as possible with full disclosure, technical information, measurements and many photos, only to have someone buy and receive the item not knowing what they were purchasing. Example buying a MIA 2 7/32 traditional 6 point strat bridge and thinking it was going to fit a MIM strat, buying the wrong scale length neck things like that, when the scale length is clearly listed. Then they expect you as the seller (having fully described the item in detail) to accept a return on your dime, nope, uh-uh not gonna happen bud! I haven't lost a Reverb case/ investigation yet because I am thorough with technical information in the listing and the buyer, well typically in cases like I am describing, doesn't have a clue and to them all you can say is, "Pull yur finger outa yur ass bud. Figure it out!"
@@notmyrealhandle Why? To be honest, I wouldn't buy from someone that was like that. It's why I didn't buy from him. I bought from someone else. On reverb, but not him. Again, I have an established reverb history and an established and public profile for FB, IG etc... Goes back over a decade. If anyone online isn't a creep it's me. If you have any critical thinking skills you'd know how to figure that out.
@@notmyrealhandle This is a red flag for buyers as well. When they ship you a brick in a box you know... We all have to have some level of skepticism, sure, we all have to have a level of trust as well. Trust is earned but it's also easier to see when one can or cannot trust a buyer or seller. Sure, Reverb is a great place because of their system but it's not completely devoid of scams. This particular seller was listing in a local classified. It's how I originally found it. I think he was brand new to Reverb and looking to establish a "store" on the site. I have no problem showing my license and smiling I front of my address to prove I am who I say I am (🎼 and if I wasn't then would I say I am...🎼) 🤣🤣 Really though, this dude was stuck in a stubborn place of "it has to be this way or no way" and it was odd. He's going to meet up with me, knows he will only get $120 after Reverb fees, is okay with that, but still wants me to pay over $140. Why? He's already meeting up with me. I can pay him cash. If he's worried about that I can pay him PayPal or CashApp or any other service. I contacted him through Facebook market place, chatted with him and his girlfriend through messenger and when it came time to buy or meet up it was a deal only through Reverb. If anyone had red flags going up it would've been me. The whole thing was weird and made no sense. People don't want to meet at houses. They don't want any personal info exchanged. That's bad too. They sell you something broken. You get counterfeit money. They ghost you and you have no way to find them again. I try to keep things as personal as possible. If I shop on Reverb it's from an actual store. If it's individuals I chat with them to make sure they seem like a cool person. I haven't been burned yet. I've never burned anyone.
I'll never get why people like relics. I love the charme of a really, really used and bruised up guitar, but the charme comes from it actually being used. For me at least. I don't see the point in artificially bruising up a guitar.
My favorite conversion from an earlier episode, the dude converted a 7 string to a 6. Gotta love that extra string spacing for when you just can't get the riff out
When I see relicing like that..... man I'm gonna sound old but WTF happened to just playing your guitars and relicing them that way. Play and gig enough and they get reliced even if you're super careful with them. The finish is falling off my USA Charvel after a few years and that one hasn't even been gigged. My gigged gear SHOWS it, no hammer needed.
I bought one of those Casio guitars last time I lived in Japan (2013-ish) at a Hard Off for like 20 bucks. I gave it to a buddy when I got back to the states. Kinda kicking myself for that one. But it was a novelty and nothing I'd actually use for anything ever.
16:25 Ha Ha! I live across the harbour from Halifax, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Yes there is some good weed to be found here, LOL. I check the local Kijiji ads every day and that wazacraft pedal wasn't listed locally.
It was pretty common scam a while back to get artists to sign a bunch of pickguards (most prob don't even know what a pickguard is) and then put it in the absolute cheapest thing you can find that can be called a guitar so you can sell it as AUTOGRAPHED GUITAR OMG. Non-guitarists that are into music memorabilia think they're getting an amazing deal which seems to be the case with the gwen stefani guitar seller.
My nephew just won a Strat from the Indiana State Fair! Lol he brought it to me because I am the only guitar guy he knows. I told him he would have been better off choosing the giant teddy bear. No branding I could find, the action was 3/4” off the board and the pickups were just steel slugs with a kitchen magnet taped to one end. It had the cheapest electronics made and the list goes on. I tried making it playable but the body to neck geometry was too far off. So I went to Guitar Center and found a Squire that had the same finish for $70 and set that up for a new player with 8 gauge strings. I told him to hang the fair guitar on his wall as a souvenir.
That gwen stefani guitar lol those guitars were sold on Amazon in the early 2000s as beginner kit with a gig bag and a amp. They use to sell for 120bucks before shipping lol. The brand was Austin bazaar I think. They were garbage guitars unless you compared them to a first act , And they rattle canned it too yikes.
Polyester's used to make shirts, not guitar finishes. Honestly, a finish made of polyester instead of polyurethane is probably the one thing that would make that listing more ridiculous than it already is
As for the botched Ibanez, "Arancia Pazza" is Italian for "Mad Orange". I suspect that they wanted to create the look of an orange peel. I'm not convinced about the final outcome, but it was an original idea.
Grats on the new Casio, if you did decide to buy it! I've never seen one before and my interest is up there as well. I can imagine slapping in VH 84' and going full volume walking downtown with a smile on my face.
Look Mom No Computer had this Casio guitar on his channel. He added potentiometer to control speed of the player. It's quite a weird and original piece of gear, tbh.
"ridden hard and put away wet" nailed it. Penthouse guitar has Peavey XXX energy. Like prob a killer guitar but why does it have to have "sexy ladies" on it. Super tacky is the word.
Some how I can picture the guy who buys that Penthouse guitar actually being part of a church band. And one Sunday he's running late and grabs the wrong case. Rushes inside and starts getting setup when everyone in the room stops to stare at him. And our man looks around and asks "what?" as he slowly looks down realizing he grabbed the last guitar you should ever bring to church. Hey, guess we learned something new about Timmy today.
Can’t wait for the casio cassette guitar video . The neck looks really cool on it. If the rest sucks , and I’m sure it won’t ... that neck would look immaculate on that hand chiseled Talsman.
#1 I'd give him $200 for the tele and then sand all the abuse smooth. Then I'd swap the neck for a roasted maple warmoth tele replacement neck w/ SS frets.
If you want to play the penthouse guitar at church just get your luthier to inlay an "RE" on the 2 frets before PENTHOUSE
2 Points!
Nicely done!!!!!
Best comment!!
Repent ye sinners!
Simply brilliant. Have you done this before lol
That Casio guitar - samurai guitarist actually did a review on that one.... that could very well be the one he bought hahah. It's neat but the sound is very 80s casset player sorta thing
Lmao that's exactly what I thought right away too. I'm really hoping he actually bought it 🤣
I saw it on reverb like two days ago! It’s not in Canada. I assume someone saw his video then put it up for sale realizing it isn’t worthless
I remember I saw the review, but wasn't 100% sure it was him. Thanks for confirming!
"Amateur relic job is ruff"
That's the understatement of the week.
so that's what the dog's name was! it looks chewed on
@@Fausto_4841yes! that part at the top was totally chewed on, you could see the teeth marks. Or they stabbed it with an ice pick ⛏️🤣
That Gwen Stefani-signed guitar is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S
To this day I would have no idea how to spell that word without Gwen
That first 'reliced' Tele was obviously used to kill zombies at the owners gigs.
Lies. Nobody is at the owners gigs.
I think the body is the remnants of the guitar from the London Calling album cover.
Hit up Samurai guitarist for the Casio guitar. He recently demo´d it. Maybe hes willing to send it to you. If so lets hope it doesnt end up in the never ending void like the first banjo from Rob Scallon did :D
I just watched that last night
Same lol
That headstock on the converted 4 -> 5 string bass made me sad

Maybe next episode he'll find a Ron Jeremy signature guitar.
I say yes to self relic'ing. Buy it play it 12 hours a day every day, for a few years. Done (right). Peace.
i wanna know how that Ibanez El Dorado one was ordered as custom:

Sammy G just got one.
@@robertdahlstrom pretty sure that's a Matsumoku/Aria neck. I have lusted after a Roland G-505 like Neal Schon used...

Necks with worn finish feels 1000000 times better and you dont have to be careful with dings or scratches on the body
“Oops, I dropped a brick on it.”
That line will forever make me laugh.
My favorite conversion from an earlier episode, the dude converted a 7 string to a 6.
Gotta love that extra string spacing for when you just can't get the riff out
I would give major props to the dude that would actually show up at church service with a guitar that says PENTHOUSE on the fretboard.
I had one of the Casio MIDI guitars for a hot minute. They definitely wanted to try and push boundaries back in the day.
"WHAT DID YOU DOOOOO?"
Sounding a lot like Lola from Big Mouth 😄
I'm from Halifax , Canada and agree with your statement!
LOL same
When I see relicing like that..... man I'm gonna sound old but WTF happened to just playing your guitars and relicing them that way. Play and gig enough and they get reliced even if you're super careful with them. The finish is falling off my USA Charvel after a few years and that one hasn't even been gigged.

Poly finished guitars don't wear. They crack, but they don't get worn through the finish.

Apparently some are very hard to set up correctly
What is a hard off
@@zizoumonk10 Second hand store in Japan that sells everything from musical instruments to underwear.
That Casio is sick!
“Woaaaaahhh!” Best reaction to the Casio guitar, can’t wait to see you unbox!
Nah bruh, that Penthouse LP is hideous. That poor Stu Hamm bass, idiots be idiots. That Casio guitar though, cool as hell
Who would want a Gwen Stefani guitar….busted out laughing, because it’s so true.
The $3.00 Gwen Stefani guitar…😂😂😂
You should add a laugh track bro
That first guitar was truly ridiculous. You are indeed correct, "What a waste of a good Tele."
I want to see that Casio featured on a future vid, no doubt!
"This thing has been ridden hard and put away wet" - oh I wish I was that guitar!
16:25 Ha Ha! I live across the harbour from Halifax, in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Yes there is some good weed to be found here, LOL. I check the local Kijiji ads every day and that wazacraft pedal wasn't listed locally.
On an upcoming episode of Riffs, Beards & Gear... the review of a Casio guitar with a built in tape player!!!
samurai guitars made a video on that casio guitar not too long ago. it´s quite interesting and definitely worth the meme.
I really hope you got the Casio!
That Fender Urge made me LOL.
The Casio guitar reaction was great😂
I hope you really bought that Casio. I wanna see that video so bad.
I actually bought a 2003 Warwick Thumb Bolt-On from the seller of the 2nd listing. Great price, good condition.
The Waza Vibrato seller must have seen this because it’s had a huge price reduction to around $620 (£448). Absolute chancer still at that price!
I think we can see casio guitar review in a near future? Tell us Fluff
That Casio....OMFG
Can't wait to see that Casio guitar!!
I totally won a Puyallup Fair ringtoss bass a few years back. Confirmed softwood body and a neck like Robinhood's Bow.
It was pretty common scam a while back to get artists to sign a bunch of pickguards (most prob don't even know what a pickguard is) and then put it in the absolute cheapest thing you can find that can be called a guitar so you can sell it as AUTOGRAPHED GUITAR OMG.

The brand was Austin bazaar I think. They were garbage guitars unless you compared them to a first act , And they rattle canned it too yikes.
I haven’t watched it yet, but all ima say is that when these come out I usually save em to watch em at lunch or dinner lmao.
The casio also let's you record the guitar onto the cassette
Polyester's used to make shirts, not guitar finishes. Honestly, a finish made of polyester instead of polyurethane is probably the one thing that would make that listing more ridiculous than it already is
The wood under the finish of the botched relic job looks pretty decent. Strip the guitar and roll with it.
Perhaps he meant $42.23 for the pick guard ? Not $423
That casio at the end is awesome ngl
I just don't get the whole brand new relic'd guitar craze.
If you actually bought that guitar could you make a full review of that guitar? I'm genuinely curious about it
That Urge bass almost gave me a stroke. I got lightheaded. That headstock is just too much.
Sticky icky icky icky.. whoooo wooooooo........ Then In the next segment you said "real talk" YES
As for the botched Ibanez, "Arancia Pazza" is Italian for "Mad Orange". I suspect that they wanted to create the look of an orange peel. I'm not convinced about the final outcome, but it was an original idea.
Love the 5wattworld shirt! Shout out to Keith!
I am not even pretend mad at that Casio Guitar!
The dude with the Waza watches far toooooo much JHS and thinks he knows something. At least he has the box.
As an owner of a USA Fender Stu Hamm Urge, that 5 string abomination made me want to cry 😢
Those cassette guitars are awesome
Aw man, those Stu Hamm basses are really fun! That poor baby

That Casio guitar deserves a video
That Penthouse guitar is nice.
Gotta love the 'ol potato cam...
Time for some baseball! My favorite part of the series!
My first guitar was won by knocking bottles over in Vegas... that guitar felt like sandpaper lol
That relic job looks like someone took a flathead and chiseled away at it.

If it was the 93' it'd be cooler. That's the Julie Strain year.
I almost lost it when you said "this is like a 3 dollar guitar"
Samurai guitarist just did a demo with that Casio guitar. Interesting to say the least
That Penthouse Guitar is as gaudy as Bob Guccione!!!
That Casio is kinda 😎
That vibrato is also a demo model.. You could get a used one or a b line for way less then that lol
I think the Samurai Guitarist bought that Casio guitar! He put out a video a few days ago using it!
I live in Nova Scotia.. I can confirm the dankiness lol
Can’t wait for the casio cassette guitar video . The neck looks really cool on it. If the rest sucks , and I’m sure it won’t ... that neck would look immaculate on that hand chiseled Talsman.
Please please please buy and do a video on the $600 casio guitar
Ask @Trogly about the "Penthouse" LP....LOL
Cant wait for the walkman guitar review
fluff, you made me get an Ernie ball stingray rs , and now I cant go back to anything else lol
Is it wasn’t for the girl and the PENTHOUSE on the fretboard I’d really like that Les Paul.
I came close to PRAYING for a little outro played on that Casio.
Fluff, you can't deny that you will buying that Casio guitar. It's all part of the plan to utilize those Huey Lewis tapes to the fullest!!
I've played in Halifax, the weed is dank can confirm.
I'd rock that Penthouse axe!
"....it's a casio...." - Plane Trains and Automobiles
We do got good weed but thst dude's on a whole other level
#1 I'd give him $200 for the tele and then sand all the abuse smooth. Then I'd swap the neck for a roasted maple warmoth tele replacement neck w/ SS frets.
The @SamuraiGuitarist did a great review on that Casio guitar. He was getting a great low fi sound. Give it a listen
That Casio guitar is bitchin, that, a Sigma BMX and a Nintendo Power glove and you'd have the deathly hollows!
When I was a kid I won a giant stuffed pig at a ring toss game that is probably more valuable than the Gwen Sefani guitar
Fluff you are required to play along to the "Beat It" solo with that Casio guitar. Thanks.
