#1 is #1 for a good reason. But the turn of the DA was certainly a close second.

My best guitar deal of all time was in 1980 when I scored a pair of 1968 sunburst Strats to cover a bet in a poker game that I won.

I found a Schecter C1 FRS at a yardsale. Trans black over quilt, cabon fiber binding, Sustaniac, EMG, Floyd Rose, Grovers, hard-shell case. Got it for 250 bucks! I also found a Silvertone Catalina, blue and white, at another yardsale for 75 bucks!

Definitely the Gibson LG2 because of the price. But the Strat is pretty cool also.

Scored a one year only 1963 Danelectro Pro for $150, easily the best deal in my small herd. 2nd would be a 1971 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, all original except changed witch hats. Stole that one a few months ago go for $2400. The guitar gods can sometimes be very generous! Thanks for your awesome videos.

I'm really enjoying your videos. You have some great finds, and a (very welcomed) different approach to the guitar-tuber content in my feed.

Appreciate that!

Exactly. Well said. Their approach to these videos is perfect. When I click on a guitar video, I don't want to watch a youtubers noodling for 10 minutes. I want to hear 'about' the guitar...not 'hear' the guitar.

I bought a Gibson SG-X from a dude I went to high school with for $150 around 1998-1999. Still have it.

Great vid, that Shell pink Strat is killer, 2020 beginning of pandemic, I found an early 1963 Les Paul junior, stripped to bare wood with all the parts, and it had a 72 embossed Gibson humbucker, for $150, I still chase that high everyday…

Oh man, that pink Strat is a beaut! Late to the party here but I think my best deal so far was getting a Kramer 450G with original case from a guy on Gumtree (UK version of Craigslist) for £270 (about $300)

I bought my 1964 jazzbass (sunburst) 1500 euros to a grandpa who bought it in N.Y in early 70's and never played it because he did not love it at all , he prefered his italian knockoff bass . It was in 2002. There is very few of these intruments in France, where I am from, and furthermore in very very good condition.

That's so interesting. Sounds like you got the better deal in the end!

Thé grandpa knew this was a very rare instrument but liked that I was a pro musician not a collection guy Its important to find THE instrument, YOUR instrument, and sometimes you Wonder if it finds you more than you find it Thanks for thé vidéo !

I'm interested in your Greco and or Tolkai collection/ inventory. It's always struck me as high quality at reasonable prices. Is it the same with you?

@aflashfloodofgear 11 ай бұрын

There are definitely some lower end ones for both, but for the most part Tokai and Greco do hit that high quality, reasonable price bracket very well

Just wondering, do you take the time to run the numbers to know if the pieces are stolen? Some of the transactions seem a bit too 'good' to be straight & legit deals.
