Emma, try playing it with a pick, would you?

Cool! . . . Try some sea shanties on it. "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," I think, would sound haunting on this, seriously.

Ah, a guitar where you can hear some base notes. A lot of modern guitars are so bright that you can't hear any base unless they are isolated. I like to hear some base. . . . You have motivated me to start looking for and playing some vintage instruments. . . . Cellists and violinists often seek instruments centuries old for more resonate wood. . . . This should be fun.

I hope you don’t hitch hike with that strumming thumb. You might confuse the drivers. Be careful with it-Leo Kottke had a thumb like that and needed surgery!

Thanks for sharing these great finds!

I just acquired a Jenco vibe that needs love, restoration and a motor. I'm up to the challenge. The motor will have to be a custom fitted thing.

My favorite in your collection....

KZfaq needs a “love” emoji. That’s really nice considering how old this guitar is 😮

Love the Black Keys tune! I got close to that sound with a Fuzz Face into a big muff and my Ampeg GV15 while using a Telecaster, but it sounded too processed so I moved on to chase other sounds. Are you straight into the amplifier? It‘s super present but ripping! I wonder if I need to try some PAFs now… I just found out about your channel from the Vintage Ampeg group, cheers!

Pretty instrument and perfect playing to showcase it's beauty.

Great playing!

My 200A is just the basic black, but this green colour is really cool. Ive seen some red ones, too.

That is a lovely sound, can hear that on Jazz and some Psychedelic records back in the day.

I'm no musician but I first saw one of these in late 1962. The post-Buddy Holly Crickets came over to the UK, minus two of the band - drummer Jerry Allison and bass player Joe B Mauldin. Glen D Hardin, later of Presley's backing group, and Emmy Lou Harris's Hot Band, came in Mauldin's place, complete with the Fender Rhodes piano bass, and appeared in Birmingham on 5 November. Hardin played the piano bass with his left hand and a standard piano with his right. These slimmed-down Crickets also appeared in the film Just For Fun, released in February 1963, singing their current release My Little Girl, again with Hardin using the piano bass.

Nice set up. The place looks good. Clean as a surgical room!

Neat shop.

Wow! A real business now, complete with the required messy closet. :-) Looks like a fun gig.

great stuff, thanks Emma!

@Emma I have a CD that was made in Japan from Victor for Isao Tomita’s The Planets. I used Google translate to see what was written about the CD, and found out that the manufacturing process had more attention to detail, and higher quality materials than a typical CD. Physically looking at the CD, you can definitely tell it’s different than a typical USA-made CD. The quality looks to be way better to the eye. As for playback, well, only if you have very high-end studio gear would you ever notice a difference I suppose. I should also mention I have had the honor of working with Japanese people several times, and their work ethics are (for a lack of better words) overwhelming, or staggering perhaps, when it comes to us. Not to say anything wrong with “Made in America”… but the Japanese approach is both noticeable and appreciated. My Roland synth was carefully packaged, and all dials and controls were neatly centered, as well as the packaging was all carefully arranged. Yup… gotta love Japan for their quality and attention to detail.

Gorgeous sound and playing!!! I hope to be as good as this one day

not everyday i see people talk about this funky vintage keyboard! keep it up ma'am 🔥🔥🔥

Hi Emma after you've had it for a few years now, would you still recommend this reel to reel recorder? TIA x

damn, so fucking good

Pretty soon i will made midi upgrade for this organ and will available on reverb

Oh, this is fantastic, Emma! I bought a unit like yours a few years ago, but found that all but one of the instrument channels were dead. I returned it to the seller and moved on. If i had had your video back then, i would have had the guts, at least, to open sesame and have a poke around. :)

I have a hernia i hope i domt have a mesh 😢😢

I imagine Billy Corgan singing something

Dream guitar! What gear are you using in this video to get that beautiful fuzzy/overdriven sound? :o

Used and abused the same set of Rattlesnakes for over 8 years until a flood took out my rig! That was the only thing that did them in after years of wear and tear and im sure if they didnt get accidentally tossed, theyd probably still work! Cant wait to rebuild and order more when the time comes! Best cables ever!!!!

i had a white SG junior, loved that guitar

That’s really cool! The tape echo is a nice touch 😊 The hum from all of that vintage equipment seasons the sound as well.

Very nice! Thank you for sharing 😊

Of course I see this after I bought a bunch of cables from the supposedly going-out-of-business Sam Ash. 😂 Oh well, I'll need 'em sooner or later.

How do you like the 206/214 speakers vs the 200/214 with the smaller speakers? I kinda like the smaller ones myself..

some of us have smaller hands. the sad thing is that I didn't realize that until many years after I started playing. I learned guitar in the 70's on those big and clumsy Korean six strings.

I think secretly this is my favorite guitar ❤❤❤👹😈👹❤❤❤

Buenísimo

Of all things, it reminds me less of a Wurlitzer than it does have another German export, the Hohner Chembalet. Think Pianet with the same 61-key C-to-C range as most synthesizers.

Talking into a tribble … cool little organ though.

This is really cool! Love the old cameras! 😊

That definitely has a really nice, old school sound to it. Love it! Thanks for sharing 😊

Oh so much- what is this?

It is very unique and pleasant.

Can you tab it?

She is very good, so cool.

If I can find a left-handed version, I'm so there!

Awesome guitar! great sound.

Nice demo on the Fender. I *have* seen demoes of those Silvertones that sounded better - but I wonder if a different speaker could help narrow the gap a bit.

I'm caught up in the craze for all things lo-fi, so I love it. Especially whatever sound that low-C made. :-)

Juniors are the best, and I have a 1956 Custom. Don't ever sell that.
