Odd Ball Guitars... Lets Take A Look! 

I had a flashback to Rob with dreadlocks. I believe the Brits would call that look ”dodgy”.....or should I say odd ball.

So uhhh I just saw this and that exact reverend Jetstream 390 is currently sitting in my lap being played as I'm watching this video Edit: grabbed a screenshot of the serial number reverend write on the back of the headstock, and that's my guitar!!!! Went to my best mates house in Guildford and then to andertons to buy myself something with the money from my first full time job, and it was the first guitar in the shop that caught my eye, I bloody love the thing

Man that little lick from 7:38 to 7:47 is tasty. Lee's playing has improved so much it's really impressive. Falling in love with pretty much every jam he's doing nowadays.

None of the Parallel Univerese guitars from fender? I thought those were odd but pretty cool at the same time!

Guitar tech from Australia, should of checked for push pulls, I've made many 3 humbucker guitars and in order to get all three you need a push pull or on off to turn on your neck or bridge, so in pos 1 (bridge) you get B and N and in pos 2 you get all 3. Takes 2 extra wires going to the volume pot and switch or anoutber way is a wire to your desired pick up and to the common on your 5 way blade switch. Also on a Gibson usually its set so middle is Middle hum and neck hum, if you wanna get access to all pick ups you have 3 volumes and one master tone instead of 2.

Gotta say the Captain’s playing has gotten a lot better and his solos “sing” more. Been watching for a long time and watching him play then was like watching a dog get hit in the road. Keep up the good work!!!

That first jam may just be the best one you both have ever done, Cheers

Did anyone else catch Rob’s Firefly reference? Best single-season show ever!

Lee + That Duesenberg was absolutely smashing it during that end jam!

Missed opportunity to play any Ernie Ball St. Vincent guitar. All oddballs. All super cool.

You guys should make this a series. There were so many guitars that should have been talked about but weren't, you could get a lot of videos out of this idea.

Two guitars that slipped your vision: Brian May Special and the Gretsch Bo Diddley? 😂

That Black Top is the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen. Holy shit. I have a seafoam green HH strat with silver humbuckers, and it has a light blue pick guard. So beautiful.

Lee's solo that starts at 7:28 is magical! I'm pretty sure it made me cry

Rob playing something slow for a moment,now that's the real odd thing here ;D

Joy to watch two guys who genuinely love each other just arse about with guitars. Viewing gold.

Really missed you this week Chapplington! Welcome back to our greasy screens. And always good to see you, Sir Capitain!

Return of the nonsense Chappers and Captain video with lot of bad banter and some nice jams. It was about time

There are few GIbson guitars with 3 pickups, normal 3-way switch for rhytm/treble and one knob dedicated to blending middle pickup to whatever setting you have. For that you have to sacrifice one tone knob (but anyway you can't have 3 tones, so going to single master tone with 3 pickups is logical).

I’m a simple guy, I see lee and rob in the thumbnail, I click to watch.

Love love love the Art Deco style of the Deusenberg! That sea foam blue model that flashed up on screen - yummo!

A nigel nod!....nobody knows that anymore!...I just fell even more in love with the captain...

👍🏻 that G&L with P90's sounds great!

You should look at carrying Italia guitars. Some models will be like a affordable Duesenberg.

Wow, the Reverend won by a LONGSHOT in tone IMO. Love that company. Unbiased, I still have yet to own one. I always go for USA top dogs considering their in competitive prices. Love the dues. All around though.

Great new type vid topic. Like the idea of the just going for somewhat random stuff and letting the tones free. Can be done with pedals as well. Just go up to the cabinets and grab 5-6 pedals each and have your mate choose a guitar and and you can choose the amp. Cool stuff Andertons.

loving the opening playing in the room, proper summertime riffage! And that Reverend is cool! I guess I have a thing for oddballs lol.

The jams on these videos are better then 95% of today’s music

Nice old schooly jibbery jabbery Chappers and the Cap't half hour, love it =-)

Mad as a box of frogs is going to be a part of my vocabulary from this day forth

Howdy guys! Antigua burst is a finish that Fender used to do on the Stratocaster Antigua - it looks similar to the colour of the Reverend 🤟

Perhaps not very oddball but I think the Fender Jim Adkins deserves a mention. Tele with mahogany body, semi-hollow, two P90s, Les Paul style controls, pickup switch in LP position and 24.75 scale. Always been curious to try one but never had the opportunity.

22:02 On the Gibson LP Custom 3 pickup guitar the middle pickup is blended with the bridge pickup. There are limitations with the aesthetics of the instrument. They employ a modded toggle switch but to get the middle pickup only requires selecting the middle position of the toggle & turn down the bridge volume knob...Lots of variations depending upon how the player wants it..... These days to employ the all 3 on you'd probably go for a 'blow' switch.Pull the volume or tone knob, bypass the normal switch and volume, tone circuitry & just hook all 3 pickups up in series.....

that fender black top was just stunning

I just got that dual p90 ASAT Jr and its awesome.

Actually there is a company in America called Michael Kelly. They have an epic 11 switch that turns on the neck so you can get all 3 pickups. I wish more companies did that.

anyone else notice that when he would replay lee's expressions he would call it an "Instant Lee-Play" 😂

As a lousy guitar player I love instruments that don’t draw any interest at all. Wallflower guitars.

that slow jam at the end is my favorite thing you guys play

That red G&L sounds heavenly

A desert Island challenge! One guitar, one combo amp, and three pedals! That's all you had the time to save from the wreckage! You'll have plenty of time in your hands for some months or years to wait for rescue, but only that! Choose wisely, and have fun!

Reverend guitars are so goddamn awesome

Just discovered your channel recently and am really enjoying your videos, as I work through them all. I have an oddball guitar that you may or may not be aware of. British made, my Hayman 2020 is from 1972 (I believe), which was a time when if it wasn’t Gibson or Fender, it didn’t sell too quickly. The build quality is exceptional, with nice Grover tuners and a great feeling neck. Odd clear plexiglass pick guard over a metal plate with 2 not overly powerful pickups. Every time I consider selling it, I pick it up and fall in love with it all over again. I’ve had it since 1975. It also has a very nice original case. Beautiful guitar, but rather odd.. Cheers and keep up the great videos!

Well done Lee at 7:49 lovely playing through the changes!

I have an Ovation UKII. Talk about oddball! Body is foam on an aluminum frame, mahogony neck that is set in and bolted on, brass nut and saddle, stereo and mono outputs, in/out phase switches on the blade style overwound humbuckers. Three way adjustable saddle, with a screw in the back to adjust the tilt!

*knock knock*, Come in That's the best! 11:53

"Solid As A Rock" is what kept me from discovering the magic of Ashford & Simpson for decades. I thought they were a one hit wonder, and good Lord was I wrong! The stuff they wrote and produced for others! Glorious!

these two make love with their music. compliments.

That Duesenberg sounds and looks awesome, though I'm not sure I'm cool enough to play one with that pick guard. Their after market "Les Trem" is really great, BTW. I have one on my LP and it was easy to install, very adjustable, smooth and stable. It also requires no drilling of holes, so you can make your guitar stock again in a few minutes.

I’d buy that blacktop strat

Hey Captain, Antigua burst is a color that fender used in on Strats in the late 70s. It's very similar, only a little lighter around the edge

Pretty ballsy of you to post this. PS: How *dare* you call a Duesy trem a Bigsby?! ;D

Goddamn these editors :D:D I find myself laughing out loud at the small sound effects and cuts you guys do. Just brilliant!

Absolutely in love with the P90 tele-style Charvel. It's beautiful and it sounded amazing when Chappers kicked in the fuzz (?) at 8:26.

So glad as an American that I got the reference to the '99 Flake'. :)

The artist who designed the cathedral ("La Sagrada Familia") in Barcelona is Antoni Gaudi (1852-1926). This delightful cathedral includes jewels encrusted in the walls and in the cathedral spires. Antoni Gaudi rocks, so it is only natural to create a scratch plate that resembles his famous cathedral. :)

I must say that the Reverend 390 is my favorite.I don't know why,but I Love the sound of the P90s.

Lol, I collect oddball guitars! A few examples: Yamaha SC300T: an uniquely shaped s-type, that's lovingly nicknamed the banana. Ibanez Halberd XH300 BKF: a superstrat that's WAY bigger than normal ...and heavy AF, but love the sustain it has due to it's solid mahogany body. Had to get a bass gig bag cuz all other 'normal' bags are too small! And no, not a bass, it's a 26.5" scale length 6 string guitar that I usually drop d. Western: a S-Type that has ONE pickup at the neck that's microphonic as hell, metal pickguard, and the deepest transparent chocolate burst I've ever seen. Obviously a vintage, probably an el cheapo from the bygone era. Epiphone Les Paul Pee Wee: a teeny tiny 1 pickup LP-Type. An unknown vintage 17" scale length 6 string S-Type with HS pup config. Electra Futura X2RD: it's red, pointy with lots odd curves and from the 80s. Glam rock baby! (Rather tiny tho, lol) These are just a few of the guitars in my collection. :) PS: just remembered I picked up a LTD F-10 yesterday. It's the little brother of the XH300, style wise, but it's significantly smaller and lighter. But unlike the XH300's active dual humbuckers, the F-10 sports the passive HS pup config. It's also tiny compared to my other LTD, an AX-50, which is comparable in size to the XH300, more due to it's Warlock styled body sticking way out there, lol. PPS: Final note: I'd jump for that Fender Blacktop! That'd be a really cool add to my collection. And yeah, I'd certainly would mod the middle position to run all 3 pups!

My Epiphone Black Beauty was wired with the neck and middle permanently combined. I customized it by removing the middle pup from the toggle, giving it it's own push/pull. Controls are 3 vol, 1 master tone. Middle pickup volume is the push/pull.

the editor deserves a raise on this one

I remember a 'sounds like' video with Matt & Rabea. They were wondering around the shop & Rabea came across a 30 fret Ibanez. I thought that was pretty odd. It must be murder to play as well if you've got stubby fingers.

These guys really know guitars. You could blindfold me, play my guitar and I probably wouldn't recognise it!

"Solid" was by Ashford & Simpson, but they were also the writers of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" "Ain't Nothing Like the Real thing", "I'm Every Woman".

Man, Lee’s guitar playing is so good on this video! Cheers, fellas.

Your opening jam was a great one as you both shined equally . I plan to steal those riffs ! lol. Great vid

That G&L sounds AMAZING!!! Got to get me one of those...when I have money lol

“Dusting” behind him somewhere. Customer walks by, “man it smells terrible in here”

I once played a true oddball guitar: a 1970's Martin electric, I think it was called E18. The owner had equipped it with a piano themed elastic strap. Safe to say, the weirdest guitar I've played

Happy to hear Lee like his double agent. Love mine. And the OG. And the Flatroc.

I like humbuckers over single coils, I like tele style pups over strat style, but there's something about p90s that goes straight past my brain and into my heart. Love!

Gorgeous initial jam, and those two guitars sound great.

I've been rewatching some old Andertons videos... I've gotta say, Rob is looking pretty good these days!

Great video but a tad frustrating ... would have loved to see a "wich one's your favorite" test for Rob and Lee... You can still do it, there's lots of oddball, non-signature, guitars from the andertons website : _Supro Westbury _Fender Jaguar Strat _schecter Ultra III _Duesenberg double cat _Vox starstream _Gretsch 6655 double neck .... As a matter of facts, so strange that Andertons doesn't sell Guild guitars ...

That G&L with P90's sound super! It has come my favorite pickup design due to great tones, clean or dirty.

I saw Tito&Tarantula yesterday and Tito Larriva played that black Duesenberg. Beautiful guitar.

I once drifted off in English class back here in the Netherlands and the teacher asked me what an apostrophe was. I jumped awake and exclaimed, "Postbode!" which means "mailman". I was wrong. Signed, a schmuck, that hopes he’s not wrong again. Great videos, by the way. Love ’m.

The G&L is basically a solid body Fender JA-90, just without the set neck and nice heel joint...!

I've got an odd ball, should I see a doctor

6:21 I'm a little late to the party but, wow. That little jam sounds beautiful.

That Fender blacktop HHH sounded GORGEOUS.

6:50 always saw you as a mad shredder rob, but that's some really tasteful playing. enjoyed every minute of that jam.

That Fender Blacktop thing is heavenly sounding!

I'm pretty sure that on a Black Beauty, the middle pickup is on all of the time, and has its own volume knob. The rest of it works as a standard 2 humbucker setup with a 3-way switch. So, the middle position is all 3 pickups on.

Lee: how do we sell the really odd guitars that nobody ever buys? Rob: I have an idea. It involves balls.

I’ll never forget seeing a really oddball guitar in my local second-hand (not guitar) store for a price I could not afford at the time (but still, like, less than £200). Slightly off-white, fantastic arrow-like shape, I totally wanted it so I got a good look at the model to get it later. Burns Flyte

That face Cap made that keeps repeating! 👌🏻👍🏻🎸 made my morning!

I have a MIM Fender Blacktop Strat ...it's called a Blacktop because it has black, top-hat style knobs from a Fender Blackface amp...it's a beauty in Sonic Blue w/mint pick-guard (is it a plectrum guard in the UK?), antique finished maple neck with the cool stripey Pau Ferro fretboard, but only two chrome plated Alnico 4 humbuckers (stock)...I've added locking Fender tuners, a bone nut and T-type string trees...plays and sounds great! Often thought about changing the pickups...but they sound so good...haven't done so yet...fun guitar!!! Thais guys...thus was a fun great to watch! Love those funky Deusenberg's, too! 😎🎸

The discontinued three-P90 Epiphone Zephyr Blues Deluxe (and the GIbson guitar it was based on that I can't remember) had individual volumes for each pickup and so could blast all three at will.

just love the stereo on this....specially on the cans..........throws me off a bit at times.well done lads.........

Love that Duesenberg! 🤩

Reverend is going to take over. Captain that rev sold me

This brought back memories. I had a Jackson RR3 in crimson swirl, Seymour Duncan’s and all. Thing sound GREAT

Just when I thought balls were no longer apart of the video, the captain sits down with his daily jeans. ;/

so bluesy !!! sounds like some Allman bothers jam ...no matter what the background it comes from the soul ..... love it !!!!!!!!!!!!

Gaudi designed a lot of architecture in Barcelona. Including the still to be finished cathedral la Sagrada Familia.

I feel like the MahoganyCaster Jr. was a cop-out. There isn't much odd about is, especially in comparison to the Dusenberg

11:54 😂 Rob: *knocks on guitar* Lee: come in

Chappers brings up a great point about the G&L Tele, I have one and tried to top wrap the stop tail but it’s impossible and causes strings to pop-out of the saddles. I think with a little more distance between the stop tail and bridge you could top wrap no problem

I ended up buying a sick guitar that was not to appealing from its appearance but gave her a chance and she spoke to me, don’t judge a book by its cover folks, you never know what surprises are out there:)

You guys ever thought of doing some pickup installs on entry level guitars, i recently got a set of bareknuckle mules from you and whacked them in my les paul!!! My god, they are incredible, you have an in house soldering wizard!!! Would be great to see some more pup vids!! Can the bk pg blues make a heavy metal guitar sound like a 50’s vintage instrument? Great idea for some future vids maybe? Just a thought
