Last weekend we were at the Bee 3 Vintage Great American Guitar Show in Philadelphia! We went with a slightly smaller crew and lighter inventory this time around to focus on buying just special select pieces. Of course I still managed to buy and trade quite a bit haha.
As always there were some great Gibson and Fender guitars along with other cool vintage guitars along with some neat PRS guitars and etc. We also met a lot of awesome people including ‪@JeremySheppard‬! Great show and a great time!
Check out our latest inventory 👀

It's refreshing to see the level of respect you treat your customers with. I haven't been to a guitar show but I been to a LOT of gun shows and some of the dealers are such douche bags I won't even look at their stuff.

I have an 82' American Fender Bullet S3, sunburst... Last year before it became a MIJ "Squier" Bullet. It's actually a phenomenal guitar. Slightly smaller Strat body, maple neck, Tele style headstock,one volume, one tone, string through hardtail bridge.

I watched Daryl Hall's show recently and fell in love with the green Strat one of the house band was playing. Since then I have looked out for them in all the show vids. This is the first one I have seen of the right green, she's a beauty!

Another great video! I saw you guys there but didn't get a chance to say hi since I only had a couple hours to experience it all. Overall I really like the Philly Show, though I haven't been to many others, the prices though are just going through the roof lately. I picked up 2 guitars last year from the show there, there are some gems to be found. This past show had a great showing of oddball historic stuff, and some good finds in your wheelhouse. Glad you guys made out well!

6:16 Yamaha spotted!!! Seems like most of these conventions are loaded with Fenders and Gibsons. It's nice whenever vintage stuff from the other brands is showcased! By the way, have you ever been to the Guitars N' Cars show in Houston, TX? They team up with a charity that supports military veterans so not only are you getting to trade guitars and see some cool cars, but you're also helping out a great cause!

Hi Alex. Love your channel and store! Like you I have a 1996 Gibson Les Paul Special in Wine Red (the perfect guitar for me). I've been thinking about replacing the P-100's with Lollar High Wind P-90's or Fralin Underwound Hum Canceling P-90's. By changing the pickups from stock would doing so substantially lower the value? Thanks for any advice. Keep up the great content!

@aflashfloodofgear Жыл бұрын

Hey! Thank you so much!! I would say putting a quality set of pickups like Lollars wouldn’t hurt the value! Just keep the originals around of course. More importantly though, if you’ll enjoy the guitar more with the new pickups that’s what matters!
