You dismissed the Alvarez shown for $600, but did you see that it was a Yairi? For someone who I've noticed is into the Japanese guitars, I was surprised you didn't at least pick it up and inspect it. In case you didn't know, Yairi guitars are handmade and sold in the U.S. under the Alvarez name. They are NOT made BY Alvarez, they are made FOR Alvarez. If that guitar was in good shape, it was a great deal.
brad I.. I.. Could be wrong but ... Personally I have a certain taste in guitars , And I think a lot of viewers thought so too... Could be wrong . But I don't think you should've showed your guitar collection
I thought it was cute. He obviously edited this video and chose to leave those clips in, so there must be a reason. I think for Brad it's like a home movie, where he can look back and remember a certain point in time. An outing with his daughter, maybe. It's nice. Didn't you hear her say, "this is your kind of place" when they were looking at the pickups (transducers)? . Nice video, Brad. Your family is beautiful.
My youngest was like that seemingly yesterday and today she's a teenager who's traded in her stuffed animals for a learners permit. Cherish it while you can gentleman because it's a bumpy ride from there on out.
The internet means everyone is pretty much clued in to what things are worth. Best option is to find stuff on eBay where the bidding ends on at one of the following times: During a major sports event, during peak hour traffic, Sunday morning at 7 am Monday at 8 am.
Internet changed things. Everybody exactly knows what they have nowadays. Combing second hand sites every day still scores you excellent bargains though.
Oh my! Brad THIS is the kind of video I love! Be the Gear Hunter! I loved your vids with your bud out shopping the vintage shops etc. I haven't even hit play yet. The notification just popped up and I already pulled a chubby. 😲 Can't wait! 🖱️
Brad I know how you feel buddy, I have two young daughters who love to mess with me when I'm trying to do stuff too. Those are the moments we'll remember when they grow up and stop acting silly. There was actually some pretty cool stuff at that little swap meet, specially the guy with all the pickups, I would have purchased a few of those myself.
Isn't that the truth! it's so hard to fight a stellar deal these days. But they can still be found. About 2 months ago, I bought a near mint condition 1965 L. Mozzani Classical Guitar, from facebook marketplace for $30. It was a an accidental find, I went to this guy in his early 80's house with my dad to help with a ladder that he was buying. The older gentleman and his wife were really nice and had a lot of nice things for sale in their garage, so I asked him if he had any musical instruments. After his wife reminded him that he had an old guitar, he went and found it. At first, I wasn't too impressed, it had old strings, was terribly out of tune, and needed adjustment along with being really dusty. I had no idea what it was, because I had never heard of Luigi Mozzani. However, it did sound nice, so I offered 30 and he thankfully accepted. I brought it home , cleaned it up, installed new strings and adjusted the action. Now it sounds and plays extremely well, plus it turns out that this guitar is fairly rare and worth at least $250, and I found one that sold for $700 on Italian Ebay. This was definitely a rare bargain find.
@@MarkSD Well actually I didn't. My Dad asked for me to help him pick up a ladder. He is the one who used the internet, I would never buy anything through Facebook Marketplace because it's mostly scams. However, the point of the original commenter wasn't about using the internet, it was about people having better knowledge of the absolute highest and lowest prices that the item is currently selling for. So it's harder to get a great underpriced deal.
I actually managed to purchase myself a jackson perfoma ps4 with a boss 1 distortion pedal for R500 which is about 45 USD from a lady whos son moved away so im not sure about that
I was thinking the words "klattu barrada nikto" seconds before I saw you play that clip from the movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which was my favorite movie during my childhood. Seeing those old microphones must have had the same effect on both of us. I also can't help liking your daughter...Seems like a fun kid to be around!
Thanks for posting your adventures. The e waste stuff was pretty awesome. It was also great to see the old blond breifcase. I gave one of those to my dad when I was working for them. He's gone now, but this reminded me of how proud he was and how much I miss him.
The Victrola was really nice.....but, sadly, there is little demand for them any more. The finish on the metal parts was actually gold-plating, to prevent tarnishing.
The Harmony Bass at 5:20 is a Korean Samick. The headstock style is known as a Notched Eagle Beak and is from the '85-'86 era. (Non-notched Eagle beaks are '82-'88-ish.)
What is it with used private music merchants and their prices?? There seldom is a day I don't view the used music section on CL or similar that I'm not shaking my head at all the listings. 99.9% of those that list used gear ask full retail for it. If I'm gonna pay full used retail, I want to know that I have some warranty and customer protection.. If I purchase a used MIM strat from a retailer, at the very LEAST know I have some protection in case their is an unknown defect, or for whatever reason the gear doesn't work for me. With private sales (either CL or like the dealers in this flea market video) when you buy something and walk away, the transaction is final... IMO, CL, flea markets and yard sales are intended to give a REAL used deal/price on a product. If your gonna ask full retail, rent some space and hang a sign..... geesh.....
I can certainly understand asking the retail prices. I'd do the same, maybe with a slight discount, and go from there on the haggling. Sometimes it just depends on how much you have invested in something.
You have to consider the situation. When I price things for a garage sale or on Reverb I put it at full used price but make it clear I'm negotiable. Both parties know the difference between a fair offer and a low ball. In a flea market or yard sale and even in a brick and mortar store, as a buyer, you need to try to get a better price. If you think they are too high offer what you are willing to pay. They probably will say no, but they could say yes. Heck, even my sweetwater rep knows that I'm going to request he offer me his best price he can sell an item to me before I make a purchase and nine times out of ten he comes down. You tell them that you can order it elsewhere for the same price and that you want it for less to entice you into buying their gear. Simple.
@@TheGuitologist Correct... and that is why 99% of stuff you see on CL usually ends up being sold to Music Go Round or Guitar Center for 50% of used retail. The Internet at least has provided an easy shopping guide as to true value. It's quite easy to surf out and view real prices guidelines.
@@SixString_J5 Music Go Round and Guitar Center already give you a base line for what they paid for it. I've sold enough gear to them over the years to understand their purchase formula. As a general rule, MGR and GC offer you 50% of used retail for an outright purchase. They give you 60% of used retail value if you are trading something towards one of their products.. So if you see a Gibson LP Standard in their shop's for $1700, they paid approximately $850 for it.. So you start your negotiations with that in mind........
I think the art piece at the end is interesting because it doesn't only apply to the stuff we throw away but to gearheads as well (to a certain extent). Having a couple of guitars for example can be really handy if you play different genres or need different sounds. Having 5 Les Pauls because you like the look is basically wasting wood for your own little consumerist collection drive.
Wow! Some of those prices made me realize how out of touch I am with the market! $600 for a stripped and modified musicmaster bass?!?!? I had one back in the day...it was a POS. original pickup was very weak. Some cool stuff at that flea market fer sure. You should give the blue eyed doggie its own channel..Always interesting ,thanks for the new video. Cheers!
The guy with the pickups had some great stuff! Always cool material. +1000 for the dog. My youngest, even at 9 would be just as enthusiastic with canine camera work.
The presumed Kay lap steel did have a "speedbump" pickup, so yeah, I think you're correct.....although I've never seen an 8-string Kay lap steel before.
Great video, Bradford. I wish we had cool stuff like the guitar swap meet and that vintage shop were you found the Celestion cab. The part of Florida where I live caters to tourism and consumer whoredom, so we don't have cool stuff like this. I enjoyed the art exhibit at the end, as well. The weirdness and diversity of your content make this one of my favorite channels, even though I still scream at the television when you work on anything solid state. Take care, Brother.
Killer Victrola! Check out Graham Alexander - he’s bought all of the RCA Victor IP and some go the Camden real estate. He’s also a musician how has played Paul Mc on Broadway and his dad plays bass in the Hooters. His song Biggest Fan is great! He’s maybe 30 but has a real reverence for the RCA history, being a Camden native
That Tele toward the beginning was a Fender Telecaster Plus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Telecaster_Plus. Though the neck may have been aftermarket replacement. American made guit with lace pups for 550 ... I would if I had money or circumstances.
Interesting, I've never seen a market like that geared towards guitars and other things music here in Alberta. I really dug the art gallery at the end too,...those we have! Finally, and I have to agree with many other comments from folks on here, that Brad, your daughter stole the show with her teddy bear!! I remember taking my nephew when he was 4 or 5 to a boat and sportsman show and just seeing things through his eyes was half the fun! Have a great weekend!
4:00 Weird. I used those exact two 'lil instruments (Rhythmic 2 and Yamaha DD-9) to make some horrendous and hilarious gag songs on a Tascam 4-track. Never thought I'd see them coupled in the wild. Thanks lol
Outside of this being just a really cool video, taking a trip with the guitologist and seeing the local deals and instruments floating around etc., I thought it was especially great and really really cool that you shared that art segment with us. Especiy The piece that you did show because it's relevant to your channel, to us your viewers and the world around us. if you have ANY more information on the artist, exhibit, or gallery I would love to look further into it to support the artist.
NVM I called and they were so friendly I described it and she took my number and went downstairs to get the artist's name and and then call me back with it. How about that.
@20:46 I am with you 100% - I am definitely not a tree hugger either, but I recycle and reuse as much as I can. For me it's "respect for the environment" and just hating to see things wasted and thrown away - I am proud to say that is the way I was brought up. I put as much as I can into our recycling bin - glass, paper/cardboard, and numbered plastics (excl 6), then I sell scrap metal. Everything from drinks cans (aluminum), soup cans and coat hangers to car parts, iron pipes, and stripped appliances - the wiring I strip and sell separately. And of course plumbing. It doesn't net me much, but it's money I didn't have before - a couple of weeks ago I took in a 40gal water heater, a few bits of steel, a bucket of aluminum scrap and some extrusions and came out with $20.50. By the time I have put recyclables into the recycling bin, and set aside the metal to sell, it would take us (family of three) 4-6 months to fill our 96gal garbage wheelie bin!
That kind of money for vintage guitar pedals is crazy to me. As we all know, electronic parts don't get better when they get older. It might stop working anytime but at least you can open it up and try to fix it. But you can get the latest boutique stuff for 250!
The electric candle reminded me of when I went to my boss (cabinet shop) and told him we had another power tool failure. He asked me what it was and I told him it was an electric sander. Then, handed him a wood sanding block with a power cord dangling from it. He was not amused. Some people have no sense of humor.
Yeah Man I have to agree with you on recycling the electronic bits and pieces as even though something may have fried causing it to be trashed there are many good transistors, resistors, capacitors etc that are still good. Just an example: One of the trucks in our fleet a few yrs back had a fault in the instrument cluster. Had a bad transistor, which was discovered pretty easily visually. Long and short had a junk pcm and was able to pull a transistor from that to repair the cluster. Cool video btw, the dog was definitely trying for air. Time I see
Seen you picked up the JOYO Sweet Baby pedal...beleive it or not...its made its way on my board Not too weak...not too dirty And get em for little to nothing Great classic sound
I would have bought the loaded pickguard and parted it out to make a custom guitar. I do that.....but that Fender briefcase,though.... I would have snapped that up in one second. I've been looking for one.
It used to be that when you went to flea markets and such the whole point was to get stuff at cheaper prices. Now a days the sellers always seem to just try and get full retail market value for their stuff.
Over in UK we have Richer Sounds who sell brand-new hi-fi at discount prices, nearly all the charity and second-hand shops use their prices. To annoy, I say so this is new and has warranty? If they bite I point out the obvious

better title is: badly behaved child dose not know how to act in public.
That cracks me up. My kid, about same age would be doing the same thing with is stuffed animal ha
yeah I didn't even realize it was in the video until I read this comment, im so used to having toys shoved in my face haha

Daughter: 'are these batteries or something?'
Every guitarist ever:😤😵
I hadn't thought about that, they look like batteries
Weird looking batteries
Batteries of AWESOME!

That dog needs his own channel :)
I'll tell Izzy you liked her dog. :D

That flea market was all the Reverb dreamers in one room. A guy can rarely find a steal on anything anymore.
There was money left in a few things.
The internet means everyone is pretty much clued in to what things are worth. Best option is to find stuff on eBay where the bidding ends on at one of the following times: During a major sports event, during peak hour traffic, Sunday morning at 7 am Monday at 8 am.
Best places to go are yard sales or flea markets... I picked up a 1999 mim strat for 25 dollars and an older Gibson acoustic for 10
Internet changed things. Everybody exactly knows what they have nowadays.
Combing second hand sites every day still scores you excellent bargains though.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 this is why buying things that are broken and fixing them is a good option for someone who actually wants use the stuff.

NVM I called and they were so friendly I described it and she took my number and went downstairs to get the artist's name and and then call me back with it. How about that.
What was the artist name?

The internet has really wised people up on prices ? Lol
Thanks for sharing your trip .
@20:46 I am with you 100% - I am definitely not a tree hugger either, but I recycle and reuse as much as I can. For me it's "respect for the environment" and just hating to see things wasted and thrown away - I am proud to say that is the way I was brought up.
I put as much as I can into our recycling bin - glass, paper/cardboard, and numbered plastics (excl 6), then I sell scrap metal. Everything from drinks cans (aluminum), soup cans and coat hangers to car parts, iron pipes, and stripped appliances - the wiring I strip and sell separately. And of course plumbing.
It doesn't net me much, but it's money I didn't have before - a couple of weeks ago I took in a 40gal water heater, a few bits of steel, a bucket of aluminum scrap and some extrusions and came out with $20.50.
By the time I have put recyclables into the recycling bin, and set aside the metal to sell, it would take us (family of three) 4-6 months to fill our 96gal garbage wheelie bin!
I had one of those Zoom 3000's.........oh the good ole dayz
That kind of money for vintage guitar pedals is crazy to me. As we all know, electronic parts don't get better when they get older. It might stop working anytime but at least you can open it up and try to fix it. But you can get the latest boutique stuff for 250!
That's adorable your daughter was trying to record you but keep sneaking in the dog.
The electric candle reminded me of when I went to my boss (cabinet shop) and told him we had another power tool failure. He asked me what it was and I told him it was an electric sander. Then, handed him a wood sanding block with a power cord dangling from it. He was not amused. Some people have no sense of humor.
Yeah Man I have to agree with you on recycling the electronic bits and pieces as even though something may have fried causing it to be trashed there are many good transistors, resistors, capacitors etc that are still good. Just an example: One of the trucks in our fleet a few yrs back had a fault in the instrument cluster. Had a bad transistor, which was discovered pretty easily visually. Long and short had a junk pcm and was able to pull a transistor from that to repair the cluster. Cool video btw, the dog was definitely trying for air. Time I see
If you had a Ohmmeter to Check that Elecro Mic. Use a Impediance Matcher with it, Actually Works,
The last part on the e-waste is gem. Got a subscription from me there....
Seen you picked up the JOYO Sweet Baby pedal...beleive it or not...its made its way on my board Not too weak...not too dirty And get em for little to nothing Great classic sound
I would have bought the loaded pickguard and parted it out to make a custom guitar. I do that.....but that Fender briefcase,though.... I would have snapped that up in one second. I've been looking for one.
It used to be that when you went to flea markets and such the whole point was to get stuff at cheaper prices. Now a days the sellers always seem to just try and get full retail market value for their stuff.
Over in UK we have Richer Sounds who sell brand-new hi-fi at discount prices, nearly all the charity and second-hand shops use their prices. To annoy, I say so this is new and has warranty? If they bite I point out the obvious
Again, Thanks for the history lessons.
Thanks for another great video, Brad!
Maybe a guitar with optipick pickup system might be the way to go which means you could have a midi controller built into your guitar.
That e-waste art was awesome! I'm not a greenfreak either. But that's a nice piece.
Love that Jag more than you seem to Greg. I’m in Indy right now so I might be able to get to that flea market.
The stuffed dog was my favorite part! 😇👍
Doggy got the eye's! Won't miss a find with them in the seen!!
Cool video props to the new channel mascot LOL
