    I don't understand why this channel doesn't have 100s of thousands of subscribers. For this type of channel, it by far and away, the best. No acting, no long, pointless 'sound demos', just the stuff we want to see,..cool guitars. Plus, a cool host with a cool cast of side characters. It is SO refreshing to watch guitar content and not be berated with an abnoxious host who deems it necessary to put on an act or character for the entire video. With these guys/Alex, what you see is what you get. As the great people of Gibson once famously said, thank you for being 'authentic'. If I could, I'd give you guys 3 thumbs up. But I only have 2.
    ...on a side note, thanks for showing a leftie. I'm not one of the people that harrass you and tell you to buy more lefties. I'\m not going to do that because I live in another country and won't tell you something that makes no sense for me to buy and have shipped. But I am a lefie who likes seeing cool lefthanded guitars out in the wild.

    That Music Master caught my eye when you showed the dealer sticker on the back of the headstock. I initially thought there is no way that said Schneider Music Rapid City, SD! I paused it and sure enough. I grew up in Rapid and Schneider Music was my main hangout when I started playing guitar. This would have been in the late 80's. At that time, Roger Schneider was the family owner and the salesman and repair guy was Ted Bonde. Great people! It was sad to see the shop close. Very cool. Small world.
    And Parker!

    Would love to hear more about how you started out. How did you get into dealing guitars? Did you start out as a full time musician and this became a side-hustle. Did you always want to own a guitar shop? Was your family in the business. You have to have a pretty good budget to travel to some of the places you have gone to out of the country to buy and sell. Tell us your story, sounds very interesting.

    • @aflashfloodofgear
      @aflashfloodofgear  Месяц назад +3

      We did a video on "A Day in the Life" a while back that chronicles some of it! Long story short, I did not have family in the business or anything. Just started with selling off some things I wasn't using anymore, and slowly grew the inventory from 1 guitar to a handful, and 8 years later we're here. The goal has always been to have this be flexible so I can play and record music whenever the opportunity arises without a job in the way. Definitely didn't start with the budget to travel as much as we do now.

    Glad you had a good time in our fair Metroplex. I’ve been a fan for multiple years and really wish I’d made it out to say hello.
    Quick no question, when it comes to guitars like the Sherwood Green Strat, once you finally own it, is it hard to sell / let go of it? Seriously.
    I’ve bought and sold 30 to 40 guitars, since college (the last 39 years), and It still bums me out that I let a few of them go.

    7k USD? Gibson is brand I just cannot care for anymore....for a color and literally zero extra mfg expense? Consumers are their own worst enemy. Gibson just types a cost...and you pay it. Dummies. Heavy, uncomfortably sharp edged overpriced. Don't forget their " Play Authentic" insult. The guitars are mostly shit...it's the artists that make the glory. Don't ever confuse talent with Gibson.
