Guitarfinds is correct. I’m one of those people hiding my guitars, keyboards, basses, amps, Lego collections and other valuables away from others so they don’t realize how much I’m actually spending on music equipment. I’ve had this unit for over two years and I finally put my sister and friend on the “just in case of emergency” list. But had something happened to me before that, it all would have gone to the storage unit. I have other family and children I could leave it to, but they all distanced themselves from me, so why should I search for them when they don’t speak to me? It’s a sad reality many people live everyday.
11:13 I agree with your response. I back it with the fact that Josh from JHS stores his amp collection in storage units aswell. It's showcased in the video where he plugged a original fender tweed amp with every Klon made, and another video where he plugged a original crate amp with every metal zone made.
If, in fact, this was purchased at a storage auction… it was NOT ‘abandoned’. Nobody would abandon this. Which means you simply benefited from another poor soul’s hard times. Sucks.
I'm trying to imagine a person who would own those types of guitars and store them in an outdoor storage unit. You see the problem there. Dimus is pronounced "Dee-mus".
Originally was in a climate controlled unit. After winning the auction, the storage unit winner moved them to the location shown in the video. They were there for only a day or two before he contacted me. They were not stored there long term.
whats interesting to me is that, normally, when a storage unit is auctioned off, they usually require you to empty it in like 24 hours or less... but apparently this guy won the auction and just kept them in there all this time? ma
Man OH Man...what a score, I would love to hit something like this, I have heart and artery disease and had to sell my drums and guitars recently, thought I would grab a guitar from Amazon to try and fill the void but it came in bad shape because of shippers and warehouse and Im stuck with crap, love the video!!!!!
Bro the way you hurl those cases as they thud before you open them and the way you have guitars just leaning all around the place gives me mega anxiety. Take it easy with them!
I noticed that too when I was editing the video 😅. It sounded MUCH worse than it looked. Cases are sturdy and the chair is well padded. The guitars laying around the place, I'll give you that one 😅😅😅. But glad to report the operation has changed significantly since that video was filmed. No more guitars hanging around all over the place. 🫡🫡🫡
Are people buying? I need to thin my herd and just keep the first few good guitars I bought as a teen in the 70’s. The rest I bought for gigging guitars until I gave that up 9 years ago. Also a few half stacks need to go.
@@GuitarFindsperhaps he/orig owner had an adjacent storage place for amps! I had a friend/boss that was a huge amp guy and had his gear holed up in storage in Livermore. He and I used to work on his spreadsheet where he had just about every item he owned documented. When he died, his wife and me went through the spreadsheet and she still had a hell of a time figuring things out. Eventually, she sold his acoustics to Gryphon and his amps and electrics and accessories to Showcase. How long have you been around in Benicia?! My good friend Steve hails from there and I would be surprised if he hasn’t been to your shop. It’s a damn good thing I ended up moving to Costa Rica about 4 years ago (orig. Santa Cruz then Half Moon Bay). I’m the worst kind of gear slut and would have been throwing my money at you incessantly. You on The Gear Page? Best.
Not shitting on them but from a business perspective, they don't command prices compared to the Jacksons and Charvels in the same lot. I wish they had higher resell values.
No, the price that the storage unit guy paid "pissed" me off (jokingly). I wasn't upset that someone asked the question? That would be a weird thing to get upset about 🤣.
So the abandoned storage cost you how much at auction? The owner of the storage new exactly what was in there! Obviously you didnt pay just the back rent of the unit!
Under normal circumstances, G&Ls are great and we buy them in regularly. But from a business perspective on this particular deal, the resale value of them were not on par with say the Jacksons USA models or other niche guitar brands from this lot. It feels weird of me to say this but the G&Ls were the least expensive brand out of the lot.
I hate being THAT guy, but damn you're bad at pronunciation. San Dimas, TrumpMagat (Trump-maggot), and Geoff is another spelling of Jeff. Sorry, it was driving me crazy.
@@GuitarFinds LOL, sorry dude I didn’t mean to make you feel bad. But damn i can’t believe what all was in that storage unit! I’d never pay those kinds of prices for Jacksons or Charvels personally but it’s wild how many were purchased and never even taken out of the box!

When is Pt.2 of the scammer video dropping?

Great to see these beutiful guitars find new homes and come to use.
Did you choose all the guitars or did the seller? Because you seemed surprised what were in a few boxes & not getting "the broken guitar."
If, in fact, this was purchased at a storage auction… it was NOT ‘abandoned’. Nobody would abandon this. Which means you simply benefited from another poor soul’s hard times. Sucks.
People pass away. So you're correct, that is the ultimate "hard times."
@6:33 "What do we have here...Charvel San Die-mus"...It's pronounced "San Dee-mus". Great score for the original auction buyer and you.
I keep waiting to find a vintage Gibson at a garage sale for $10 and it turns out it's worth $10,000! 🙂 Some people just get lucky I guess.
congrats dude. Score!
Love theses videos❤❤❤❤
in the right place at the good moment

Love them Fender basses ! Also , is that Tube Screamer pillow for sale...? Thankz Youz !

Auction won in S.F., then hauled to different location.
Those were some nice guitars, do you play guitar, you should add a little riff to the end of each video
It’s the “know what I mean guy!” 😁

@@GuitarFinds Ok good to hear!

7:57 Is that an Michael Schenker Flying V in the Background??
Man what a dream. Did you get any amps?
I wish! Surprisingly no amps were in that storage unit (only that one Fryette amp that I know of). Just guitars in that lot. Cheers!

POV: "When you are not good at playing the guitar at all, but you have a taste of design and amount of money to buy for collection." 💀💀💀
What’s that dime Washburn selling for?
Don't shit on g&l alot of people own them and love them.
Not shitting on them but from a business perspective, they don't command prices compared to the Jacksons and Charvels in the same lot. I wish they had higher resell values.
Wowza.
I have a custom Shop G&L INVADER you might be intrested in its aqua Blue
Contact us. We might be interested.
@GuitarFinds I emailed you and sent 2 pics the G&L and a Mike Lull guitar
I’m calling total BS, on all the so-called abandoned storages. you’re just buying guitar collections, that happened to be in storage.
“Abandoned”… clearly this is how some of the sponsored artists sell their unused/unwanted gear that is given to them by the companies. Not a new story
Why did it piss you off that somebody asked you how much the storage locker was bought for???
No, the price that the storage unit guy paid "pissed" me off (jokingly). I wasn't upset that someone asked the question? That would be a weird thing to get upset about 🤣.
@@GuitarFinds gotcha 👍🏼
Wonder what happened that someone left all those guitars? Never he answered that near the end of the video.
Hey if you find some lefties let me know
So the abandoned storage cost you how much at auction? The owner of the storage new exactly what was in there! Obviously you didnt pay just the back rent of the unit!
The storage unit winner paid $8,000. I paid much more to him.
Why would you not want the G&Ls.

It feels weird of me to say this but the G&Ls were the least expensive brand out of the lot.
Second time you’ve overlooked the Nash case smfh
Do you know who the owner was
I know the name of the gentleman. There were several invoices all in the same name. So I assume it was his collection
10:44 is that another one???
Jag U ARE... What is a jag wire?
Tomato 🍅. Or something like that. 😅
I didn't see one I liked
They are in there so your wife doesn't know about them, just sayin.
