From Pawn Shops to Music Stores: Guitar Hunting in Jacksonville
Рет қаралды 20,074
Күн бұрынToday we're going back to a time before there was a surplus of Fender guitars, Gibson guitars, vintage guitars, and inventory was sourced from pawn shops and music stores. We're hunting for guitars and gear where A Flash Flood of Gear began - Jacksonville, Florida! Also make a stop at @mockshopmusicexchange4755 to check out some really cool stuff!
I'm going through some of my old routes to see what used guitars and music gear I can find throughout the music and pawn shops of Jacksonville. A lot has probably changed, but you never know what you might find out there! I don't get to do as much sourcing like this anymore especially where it all began, so I hope you enjoy this journey down memory lane. Let me know down below in the comments if I missed anything or about your own gear adventures!

I just discovered your channel and love it. As a recent transplant from San Diego to Jacksonville, surprised you didn't check out Kevin's Superstore. Great guiar shop on the West Side. But, I have never heard about the Mock Shop. Thanks, I will defeintely check it out.

Mock Shop has some good stuff most of the time. We’ve lost so many treasured guitar shops over the years.

My friends work for Crazy Dave’s. The first time I went by the new showroom I drove around the parking lot for 20 minutes before finally calling one of them to come escort me in. It’s like a secret batcave.

Shocked you guys didn’t go to George’s Music at Jax Beach, it’s the best selection and biggest shop in Jax! The orange park location was sold to sam ash but the main George’s in Jax was always the one at the beach!

Pawn shops and guitar shops should want people filming, as it is free promotion. I did a couple videos hitting up pawn shops on road trips on my little channel. Decent inside footage, but all with my phone. Recently subscribed and liking your stuff. Keep it up!

When I was a kid, I got my first real guitar at a Jacksonville pawn shop. My dad bought it for me for Christmas, 1974, but it was actually a week before Christmas. It was a blonde 1964 Fender Stratocaster with a rosewood neck and blonde case. He paid $150 for it. The pawn shop guy went upstairs and got it, and I remember his wife and him having a huge argument about it right there in the shop, because she said he wasn't supposed to sell it, but he said it was for a gift from a father to his son! So, we bought it. It was my first real guitar. Sold it long ago. Later, I wondered if it was hte missing Jimi Hendrix guitar. It fit the timeline, place and year, guitar, etc. Will never know, I guess.

What's up with Guitar center????? Does anybody even work there? Was it really late? You probably could have just walked out with whatever you wanted, like you said there wasn't much there.... I'm starting to really enjoy your show I'm not a big vintage guy but I have been playing for about 30 years. I'm more into the metal side of guitar playing! Maybe you can do more flying V's or pointy guitars! Keep up the good work! You have a cool show!!🔥👍

I'm very curious about your business model. Why are you trying to pick up inventory for your shop at retail outlets like GC and mom and pop guitar stores? I would think there wouldn't be enough meat left on the bone for you to make any real money. It's not like they don't know what they have and you can get a killer deal on stuff. What am I missing?
@jimcamp2423 16 күн бұрын
Glad I bought mine 2019. I doubt guitars will be rock bottom of that. Lowball offer won't buy a fast food combo meal or two. Might as well keep them. The day society retires you, you'll have time & buying a new one will still be expensive. Some of the new guutars are turning into smartphones anyway. Still have to play the guitar, only now, that's going to be a usb recharge for effects included guitars. No thanks I'll stick with the one's I have.

@5:30 "No Stairway" is fine, "No Jamming" is the opposite end of the spectrum, you may as well type "Musicians are not allowed to have a beautiful incident of connection here" which does not serve any musician anywhere. Never ever going to this shop, and they must hold full responsibility for that. Do they know what the word "Jamming" means ? "No lack of originality, no originality." ..welp ...nothing to do here. I will not go to a music shop that actively deters musicians from being musical. I've redacted a lot of expletives I felt were entirely justified, because I think this message must be heard with absolute clarity.
