Dear Loreto Valenzuela Your son Chris Schiappacasse is drowning in the ABYSS of ADDICTION to MARIJUANA. Your enabling has crippled him. He needs to attend 12-Step meetings or drug rehabilitation. Dear Loreto Valenzuela, While you are away on vacation, your son, Chris Schiappacasse, is binging on MARIJUANA. He is smoking at least 5 times a day and if the pungent skunk-like smell is any indication, the THC potency of his current choice of MARIJUANA is quite high. Your continuous enabling of his MARIJUANA “habit” is destroying any chances of him surviving after your death which is fate that we all face. His binging on MARIJUANA is just a foreshadowing of his future after you die, as we all cling to the mortal coil. You must devote the rest of your life to his rehabilitation while you still have the chance instead of enabling him. Otherwise, his continued misery will be your fault.
That's because Guitars weren't really considered ACTUAL instruments. Like, English Universities would be the only ones to include them in their music courses. The rest of the world considered them too "Folksy" or "Easy". Remember we're in the early stages of Rock 'N' Roll here, the Guitar is still earning its rep.
@@MantraMan2077 I'm pretty sure classical guitar was already a thing, not to mention jazz guitar. It was not guitar in general the announcer disliked, it was solid-body electric guitars. At around that same time, music critics were calling the Beatles "electronic noise."

@df_productions Absolutely. He's not being serious, mild sarcasm. Can't believe others genuinely think the narrator is being serious or are THEY having ME on? 😂😂
@@orbatos Not at all. The film was directed to a more mature/elderly audience. The Beatles with their moptops and the Stones with their long hair were trendsetters - the latter more antiestablishment at the time - and it was a period where we had culturally the beginnings of the 60s generation gap. Long hair was a symbol of that rebellion. That being said, I suggest you're looking at it from the perspective of someone who wasn't around at the time. It's a British thing taking the mickey.
@@nikinnorway I had some friends with tone chamber accordions and boy, they could make music. I think accordions really started to lose popularity with the advent of rock ‘n roll in the early 60’s, unfortunately.
There's a book on the topic "the accordion revolution", it posits the accordion lost popularity yes in part because of rocks popularity, but more so because of polka decline, the instrument predated the polka craze but it was so ubiquitous with the fad and style when the fad went out of fashion people thought accordions must too
For those interested: The pickups shown here have about 5000 wraps of wire on them. Assuming the pickup is about 2.5 inches across, there's about 2100 feet of wire in each pickup. A mile is 5280 feet. So, a 3-pickup guitar would have over a mile of wire in it. Maybe more if it has built-in effects.
I've never seen this in colour before - this is a classic, I first saw it on TV about 40 years ago adn it was old then! I think thi sis the Shergold factory, the guitar at the start is definitely a 'Custom Masquerader'
It's Burns, but the Shergold factory was also in Romford, albeit smaller and a few years later. That's Jack Golder ('Mr Shergold') with the glasses doing the fingerboard
Back in 1984 I bought a 1965 left handed Burns Split Jazz guitar for £270, same colours as the Burns we see being set up here. One of the pick-up settings was called "Wild Dog." Stupidly I part exchanged it for a '74 Tele a couple of years later.
My Granda (B.1943) used to use sky blue pink all the time and I inherited heavy use of it from him too so its really interesting to hear someone else say it
These were the guitars that were played by Jimi Page, Brian May, Steve Howe, David Gilmour, and all the great English guitarists that we know and love today :)
@@DandyDorsia_Official yeah I forgot about that when I was writing comment. Point I’m trying to say, these guitars shaped the sound of a generation that is still admired to this day :)
The tool being used after the band saw at the start is called an 'overhead router'. Those things are insanely dangerous, just look how it is removing so much wood so fast and he's doing it freehand!. Just absolutely mental some of the stuff they used back then.
not really freehand. you can hear the narrator mention "contour drafting" there's an attachment that basically traces a finished sample to copy the cuts onto the new part.
Fast forward to the 2020s ish and Stevie T's Djentar :) Little did they know back then how much noise a real musical instrument could actually make hahaha. Just wanted to add my two miles of fine wire.
This narrator clearly doesn’t think highly of electric instruments. A tour of a workshop making boutique synth modules would blow his mind. He’d be floored to learn of a time when the successor to making music by banging on pots and tapping on washboards was making music with a computer the size of a yearbook.
There's some adorable irony in guitars made to go into the hands of countercultural youngsters playing the hip new thing, rock and roll and even early punk, being carefully hand-crafted by stern-faced middle-aged men in labcoats.
"No money left for a haircut." "Just as if they are real musical instruments"
Some serious 1965 shade being thrown.
Almost as good as "Great gowns, beautiful gowns"
That poor Mick Jagger didn't even have a guitar and he still couldn't afford a hair cut.

I feel like the voiceover is modern…
@@boarbot7829it’s original but Pathé News was known for a tongue-in-cheek commentary
The narrator does _not_ like guitars OR guitarists 🤣
Dude's wife definitely left him for a long haired guitarist 😅
Yeah their was a couple savage digs there lol.
Saxophone and Bass in the background 😂😂😂😂
At least, unlike most of the recent stuff on here, he's an actual human being.
electric
Just as if they were real musical instruments.😮
This just made me think of the Pinocchio line "Just like a real boy" and these guitars coming to life. Lol.
Turns out I've wasted years of my life playing a fake instrument.

"Surprising, when you consider the noise they can make..." killed me.
Listening to to much Hendrix ...

dayum lol
The condescension is really thick here lol
Welcome to British dry humor
@df_productions Absolutely. He's not being serious, mild sarcasm. Can't believe others genuinely think the narrator is being serious or are THEY having ME on? 😂😂
It's called sarcastic humor. Hope that helps.
The Brits were SOOOOOOOO jealous of America in the 1950's-60's. They tried so hard to be a part.
@@ComsiCaterpillarWell, yeah. The US hadn’t lost 30,000 people to a bombing campaign.
There is a solid inch thick layer of pure, premium grade British sass around this whole video and I am here for it
Best comment here. Hats off bro💯
I am British. I am a bit too British sometimes. This narrator is off-the-chart British! Love it
Savage narrator
good old british wit
The passive aggressive attitude of old documentary makers were something else...
More like tongue in cheek?
It was supposed to be funny and entertaining bro
@@andrzejdziadul6022 tongue in cheek wouldn't be so obvious. This is sarcastic and malicious.

I think he must be the jazz musician that did the backing track 😂

It's almost as if the narrator said that in the reel. Built in effects... in 1965... that's amusing.
Thanks, I was about to say, a guitar has 2 miles!?!? No way. Thanks for the explanation
@@memkiii and it's almost like this commenter is clarifying some things that the narrator didn't mention. Like where the wiring is or what it is for
Thanks I was trying to figure out how miles of wire was somehow a sassy British joke cuz I didn't know that pickups had coils of wire.
This was my guess, the coils in the pickups. Thank you!
Just to let people know: The joking here is really gentle and fond to a British ear
A friend owned a Burns guitar back in the 70's - I have never seen to this day such a beautiful guitar.
I owned a Burns amp back in the 1970s. It was a horrible looking this. 😂
Doesn’t Brian May use Burns pickups on his red special?
The Shadows used Burns Guitars at one time. Now they make a range based on those used by them.
@@SvenTviking you can see those pickups in the video
Clearly the narrator got his gf stolen by a guitarist 😂
"No wonder the guitar boys pay so much for their instrument they can't afford a haircut" Savage
british humour zooming right over american heads will always earn a chuckle from me.
SO. MUCH. SNARK. Voiceover had so much British condescension that I accidentally queued up for a bus.
@@jpip1382 No . Stiff upper lip holds sway. Pushing would be seen as letting the side down. " It's not cricket!"

God damn thats a nice looking guitar

Some serious beatles shade

Sick burns
I miss this kind of joyfull jesting narrators
My Granda (B.1943) used to use sky blue pink all the time and I inherited heavy use of it from him too so its really interesting to hear someone else say it
Trolling existed back in the 60s apparently.
The condescension in this man’s voice And the audacity of playing jazz instead of some smooth rock
It was so lovely to be allowed a sense of humour .
I miss it so much.
What would the narrator think of turntablesn MIDIs, and DJs if he hated guitars?
😂😂
Probably a massive Deadmau5 fan
These videos are the best!
These were the guitars that were played by Jimi Page, Brian May, Steve Howe, David Gilmour, and all the great English guitarists that we know and love today :)
I mean brian used the pick ups for his guitar, but sure he did use a burns electric 12 string for the song long away
@@DandyDorsia_Official yeah I forgot about that when I was writing comment. Point I’m trying to say, these guitars shaped the sound of a generation that is still admired to this day :)
@@superslayerguy yeah your totally right
"just as if they were real music instruments" :D I love these low key shots fired :D
That low jab on the guitarists is simply divine gndjwkajajaja
I really hope that was the original narration 😂
Ofc it is
I love the sound from Burns guitars.
Brilliant... this is a gem!
I love this pure crafts!
'Just as if they were real musical instruments' 🤪 Brutal!
sick burn
Using a saxophone track as background. Irony right there.
Shots fired, man down.
Whoever set this film to a bunch of clarinet music knew exactly what they were doing.
Narrator thought Harp was gonna take off in the 60s
Wow I would love to own one of those
Gentlemanly Savage comedy. Pure gold.
Good luck getting that rosewood today.
Well, in the end, behind every cool tool of a legend there is a nerdy craftsman who built it.
you can tell the narrator is real fun at parties
Yeah, someone that tongue in cheek is usually an absolute riot
"Each guitar must be scientifically tuned, as if they were real musical instruments" lmaooooo
The funny part is these guitars are considered the low end ones compared to American Gibson and Fenders...
they really freehanded a lot of that stuff
The tool being used after the band saw at the start is called an 'overhead router'. Those things are insanely dangerous, just look how it is removing so much wood so fast and he's doing it freehand!. Just absolutely mental some of the stuff they used back then.
not really freehand. you can hear the narrator mention "contour drafting" there's an attachment that basically traces a finished sample to copy the cuts onto the new part.
@@subtleusername5475 You're right, there's some sort of templating going on, possibly with the jig he has the body clamped in to.
Fast forward to the 2020s ish and Stevie T's Djentar :) Little did they know back then how much noise a real musical instrument could actually make hahaha.
Just wanted to add my two miles of fine wire.
“In skilled hands, even the hum of electricity becomes music.”
- Ishikawa Genshiro, 1621
All these years of long hair and i had no idea it was all just to save money for more musical instrument imposters. It makes so much sense now! 🤣🤣
For anyone wondering, the two miles of wire are in the pickup bobbins.
Based on the narrator's music, I'm sure he's heard a jazz guitar.
Best Narration
they knew how to live back then
Love the vintage savagery 😂
Awesome guitar. Looks like a rickenbacher
The narrator's girl was stolen by an electric gitarrist
"its called metal. you fear it now but your kids are gonna love it."
“I g-guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet… but your kids are gonna love it.”
“Chuck! Chuck, it's Marvin. Your cousin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!”
“Just as if they were real musical instruments” hahaha
Lawrence Welk even eventually allowed a very, very, very tame electric guitar on his show.
back when guitars were made with quality in mind
"As if they were real musical instruments" wooooow
"Just as if they were real musical instruments".! 🤯 😲
It’s not just the announcer; guitars weren’t considered “true” instruments by most orchestras then, unless they did jazz or swing.
I suddenly find myself really wanting a pink guitar😂
So much shade being thrown lmao
They want he just sat the guitar there and sprayed it is wild
Burns guitars were very cool. Still are tbf.
Burns make some very handsome guitars.
The noise they make as if it were real music - WTH?
Doesn't like their haircuts either!
Jokes(TM)
Very nice
Back when Britain was British
Just as they were real musical instruments
lol the guitarists getting mad.
I keep seeing these pathe videos and thinking of how much everyday craftsmanship has completely evaporated
What are we gonna do 😢😢
"Just as if they were *real* musical instruments" SAVAGE! haha!
No money left for haircut! If Mr. Narrator lived into the 70's and 80's, he'd know he predicted the future!
Pathe had the best narrators
Love the narration! 😂
Smashing that fret wire into the neck with a regular ass ball pein hammer is literally insane lol
Everybody talking about the narrator and not the dude that machined out the body faster than an automated CNC machine.
the og how its made
The narrator didn't seem to be a man with a good eye for the future. 😂
"... just if they were real musical instruments." 🤣
They ARE real music instruments.
r/whoosh
And I suppose you think that new fangled Roll and Rock is "real music" too?
They are, which is surprising when you consider the noise they make
Smashing commentary
does anyone else get this "radio rock revolution"-feeling from the narator?
This narrator clearly doesn’t think highly of electric instruments. A tour of a workshop making boutique synth modules would blow his mind. He’d be floored to learn of a time when the successor to making music by banging on pots and tapping on washboards was making music with a computer the size of a yearbook.
Sky-blue-pink btw is a British term meaning an unimportant color. That narrator showed up to work with cannons blazing.
Nice commercial for Burns Guitars! I don't even play guitar anymore, and I am also bald now, and I felt burned all the same!
If y'all think this is rough, go ask your grandparents what they thought of The Beatles!
