LOL Gibson Guy Loves His Original Box 

Yeah man that's it. That's exactly why it doesn't increase the value : because modding is so personal, you are sculpting a stock guitar into your personal dream machine! For some that might be surf green with a hot pink pickguard, another might be a Floyd rose and animal print paint job (leopard spot, zebra stripe or something), and another might be all about putting minihumbuckers where they don't belong, say...3 on a Strat instead of the single coils... The list goes on. Those are extreme examples. Often it will really be thing like I want my Strat hardtailed, you want a state of the art term system installed. I wouldn't value yours, even if it cost $600 and 14 hours of messing around to get it set up... because I don't want a trem, I want a hardtail. And vice versa, you wouldn't value whatever I did to hardtail it.

Same with bikes- "I added this that and custom foofoo's and now I think someone else is going to buy it." lol.

Please send to me.

😂 Awww.. SMH!

Cool. Rockin Robin is a great place too and you are right. More of a Houston place.

You are welcome JC. I’m enjoying making them.

I 100% agree

FF guitars- New 120 bucks, then people buy them and re-list them on ebay for 269.Good luck with that.

@@popsfereal Reverb used to be a great community for buying and selling gear but as more and more people found out about it it's gotten pretty bad IMO not to mention that since ETSY bought it their customer service has went to hell also. When it was just seasoned buyers and sellers who knew what they were doing or knew how negotiating works I didn't worry about buying anything on reverb but now that 13yr old joey thinks his beat up tube screamer is mint condition that will bring full price is selling on reverb it's a crapshoot. Plus nobody negotiates anymore which to me is the best way to sell, if the offer option is on then to me that means make an offer but sometimes sellers won't turn it off then get upset when an offer is made. I was intrested in a guitar and in the listing photos the strings were off the guitar so I asked about the strings being off and if there was any issues with the guitar and the kid responded with the answers and his last sentence was "now that I've answered your questions are you going to buy the guitar or not"? I replied with "not now", anyway gotta be careful on reverb now cause "mint" also stands for "some assembly required ".

I saw a guy in reverb selling a used celestion creamback m65 for 300 dollars which is more than they are worth brand new he tried to justify the price by saying it was a rare made in England creamback before production of the creamback moved to China even though production of the creamback never moved to china and are still made in the u.k to this day I don't know if he was trying to pull a scam or really thought he had a rare speaker becuase he did not know better perhaps he assumed beciase some celesrion models moved to China for production they all did the sad part is someone actually bought the speaker and paid 300 plus shipping thinking they got some rare spaekers. Even if creamback production had moved to china a used made in England creamback would not be worth 300 dollars nor would it be rare . Made in england vibrate 30 or made in England g12h30 anni are not worth 300 a piece so why would a creamback be I hate seeing people get screwed over like this I see people asking 6000 and 7000 dollars for 70s les paul standards and modified les paul deluxes that are only worth 3000 dollars and many do nor have stock electronics. People Allso believe selling guitars with upgraded pickups electronics and hardware add value to their guitars when in fact it makes them worth less .. the think of they put 1500 dollar worth of upgrades to a guitar that it adds 1500 dollars to the value of the guitar I seem a guy asking 6000 dollars for a 1976 les paul custom that did not even have the original pickups or tuners to say nothing of the fact that post 1975 70s les pauls are the least desirable era of the les paul due to maple necks and pancake bodies 3 piece tops 3 piece necks and 3 piece backs . I would pay 6000 for a 68 or 69 custom but not a 76. A 76 custom is worth 3 grand and not a penny more.

dude, fender modern player that were 350 back in 2012, are now like 700 used :/ on reverb and ebay

@@KennisRussellTechBTW, you should have seen my reaction the first time I saw that hideous crap behind the headstock.

I honestly have never owned a Rickenbacker. I would have no idea. I usually buy used too. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

@@kennisrussell Thanks brother. Personally, I am a Fender guy. Love Leo's philosophy about guitars.

Also funny how Rickenbacker doesn’t publish the prices for their guitars. If you ever see them in a catalog or in an ad, they will always say “call for price”. It’s not a one time thing, and it’s actually on purpose. Why? Because Rickenbacker literally changes the price on a daily basis, or just when ever they feel like it. So yes, you could call one day, say you’d like to order one and get quoted $1600. A day or week, or month later, if and when the guitar is actually available to buy, you suddenly find out it’s now $1850, or whatever they decide it will be, based on their sales and very limited production. I think they look at it as one of those “if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it” kinds of deals. Best to try to find one used. They rare, but they do come up on used market from time to time. You have to be patient and monitor all the used sites, also helps to know someone in sales somewhere or someone who deals with rare used guitars. Hopefully whoever is selling it used will actually set a price, not decide what they going to charge you based on how they feel on any given day.

That is weird.

@@ericb7799 Thanks, that is what I am finding, too.

Ok cool. Even still. Resale at the same price🤦‍♀️. Thanks for letting me know though.

Kennis Russell Haha, very true!!! 😂 Big fan of your channel, keep em coming. 👍🏻👍🏻

Karl. That would be fun. We should do a citywide jam.

@@kennisrussell No doubt, that'd be blast! I'll have to work on complete songs soon, just been finger exercising & working on theory

Lol. That’s funny that they were going to charge $50 for it.

Thanks man.

Lol. Send them to me too.

You might want to tune in to next upcoming video, or one in near future. Think you guys going to find something very, very funny in a certain ad Kennis was forwarded today. Hopefully he finds out more info than I was able to about the seller, but it’s guaranteed to make you question somebody’s sanity. Whether yours or the person selling, will remain to be seen. Stay tuned. Lol

Well soon you will have one more to add to your guitars. Lol

Sorry

Kennis Russell I wish there was an alternative to RU-vid.

If you watch a lot of RU-vid... RU-vid red is awesome. No ads at all.

Kennis Russell does the money go to the content creators or into Google’s wallet?

Lol. So true

Ok. I may be wrong then.

That would be fun. I have talked to him online a few times. He is a great guy. Perhaps.

Lol. Well you could buy that one for $500

I got a completely loaded warmoth on Reverb for 550 bucks. Highly recommend. Roasted necks are awesome!

Still not going to be paying $500, or even $450 for a used neck, with screw holes I may have to fill and redrill, and for a non Fender branded neck (yes aware it’s licensed, but not same as a Fender branded neck). Flame or no flame. The tuners are also used, are only about $50 brand new, so a reasonable used price would be closer to $325-$375 IMO. I wouldn’t even consider $400, unless I really wanted it bad. Otherwise, would rather buy a brand new MIA Fender branded American Pro neck, without the flame for $530. Or buy a MIM Fender neck for half that, $250-300. Flame is pretty, but it doesn’t do anything to how it feels or plays. Think you can get roasted for around same price ranges.

Just to be clear, I got a whole guitar not just the neck. Yeah 500 for just the neck? No way.

Wow. Thank you so much for the compliment. I’m really glad you enjoy them.

Just make your own video and comment on it the second after you publish it :)

@@KennisRussellTech thanks much

@@tonepilot that's smart, thanks, never thought of that.
