Oh Man you've got some Beauties That Blue Les Paul man it's like a Dream for me though I don't have money right now 🤦😂😥 That Taylor Also Like a Dream too. Clapton Style Acoustic Awesome ❤️🤘🎸✌️
Welcome to town! I used to love to go to the Dallas Guitar Show. Can’t make it anymore for health reasons, but I recall the last time I went, I ended up sitting at a picnic table with Eric Johnson while we both enjoyed a quick lunch. I don’t think anyone knew who he was, or they were like me and didn’t want to whip his ass with fan-boy questions and babble. He did politely say hello. Have fun while you’re here and hope you find some killer deals! PS if you want a killer cheese burger in a cool dive country bar, go check out Adairs Saloon on Commerce in Deep Ellum. Has been one of my favorite bars for 40+ years. Cool place with cool people.
gear wise and watching this from germany: the feature of the beringer HP-AMP just made me a good laugh. 🤣 i love my Tokais and Aria 330 n 65`Vibrolux 2 x 10. rock on guys.
Really enjoyed talking to you on the phone Alex. And hoping to meet you and the crew at a guitar show in the near future. Im definitely interested in that dynacomp too,
Can‘t wait for the yokohama show. 9mm Parabellum Bullet are actually playing? That James Tussard was fancy. Been to the showroom in tokyo and their guitars are wild.
Loved this installment. I was fortunate enough to get to attend the Dallas Guitar Show back in the late 90s and it was awesome then but has become mind blowing now. I really flipped over the mid 90's Sea foam Green Charvel Surfcaster 12. Like that one a lot. Great show, great work. Get some rest.
Hi! Flew in from Florida. i got there sat. awesome . found what I was looking for on Sunday. Surprised actually that it survived thursday! lol! All you dealers grab up all the great stuff! Am i wrong? Thanks for posting.
Love your videos. Also love seeing all the different guitars> Hope to do a trade with you someday. I have a 1976 Gibson Custom Tobaccoburst with a rare 2 piece top. Also a Gibson 74 1955 Reissue.
Surprised you didn't show the booth that had several $100k Martins, it was diagonal from the Jimmy Wallace booth. Also had some great vintage electrics, but the Martins were the standout.
Love the content! I just came across your channel and I'm loving it. I do have a question though......How do you find out where these kind of guitars shows are happening? I would love to go to one myself but I never hear about them till their over.
Im from Australia and damn i love your channel plz keep up the great work, Plz do a review of a Cole-Clark guitar plz As an Aussie id love to see you opinion of them Cheers
noticing the age of the attendees at these shows, and the current state of music stores in many parts of the country. it's an aging demographic. when I was kid and into my 30s, there were many people around my age, music stores were thriving, big box and mom n pop. the future of music gear is either online or bleak. Good luck!
Hey I just found your channel and I really enjoy your videos. How do I get a hold of you guys? I have some stuff that I want to sell or trade, I have a studio in the midwest and i'm always looking for things for the studio. Thanks
Just lean into it and order a container from a shipping company, pay the duties, and be done - put up a temporary annex "fresh finds from far east" or something but I feel people would really be hitting you up to not only grab stuff as soon as you get back but you could also charge a finder's percentage to bring back specific items.
@@aflashfloodofgear Yes next time you’re in Houston, you should check out Fuller’s Guitar, Texas Music Emporium, Memorial Music, Infinity Guitars, and the Woodlands GC!
I see a GUITAR CRASH coming . Here is why I think that . The Baby Boomers are in their golden years and are selling their guitars . The 1950-60 guitars are still going to hold their value because of rarity and demand . But Baby Boomers did buy newer stuff and it's about to hit the market . Gen X are the last generation to grow up during a time when guitar driven music was on the charts . Thing is early Gen Xers are reaching retirement age . With the cost of living so high , I don't see them holding on to the guitars of their youth . 70's & 80's guitars IMO are going to slowly decrease in value . Millennials are not into guitars as much as Baby Boomers & Gen Xers . Gen Z are not into guitars . Do you see a bunch of young 18-23 year olds at this show ? If this was 1974 , 84 or 94 you would see a lot of them . Plus guitar manufacturers have been pumping out guitars since the 2000's . All the people who wanted to learn during covid are selling . Gibson & Marshall have lowered their prices . It's coming . IMO this show is just dealers selling to dealers who will sell the guitars to resellers who will sell the guitars back to a dealer LOL .
💯!!! I’m not sure the crash will be as big. Maybe for ‘80-‘00s but newer guitars will likely stay expensive. They will slow production before prices. I’m sure there will be some sales here and there but overall I don’t see quality equipment doing anything but go up price. But I wish prices would not only go down but the budget brands (epiphone, squire etc) would get nicer.
No longer a must attend for me. I was there all weekend and it was pretty ill attended. The show has steadily declined over the years - 10 years ago you could barely move in the place. There were a lot of great players again this year and if there were 50 people in the audience at some of the shows you were lucky. And the usual ridiculous dealer asking prices of course. I know a few dealers that went home with pretty much everything they brought.
Still surprised that everyone is behind Fender and Gibson. I mean in the video we saw probably 5000 Gibsons and 5000 Fender….a bit boring IMO. But hey, if people like it, great!
...... Here's how it works (after you get fleeced for parking & admission $40-60 bucks?)......They bring guitars - You bring cash (& lots of it). Go home with buyer's remorse.
Well that's certainly a depressing way to look at it. General admission was $30 for one day and up to $70 for all 3. Students get discounts and kids under 10 are free. Even includes the night time concerts. PLUS FREE PARKING. There are TONS of guitars that do not cost an arm and a leg or effects pedals or amps etc. All kinds of deals to be had for buyers and sellers alike. The Dallas show in particular also has speakers and performances by various artists and industry people. Plus you get an opportunity to be up close and even play some high end vintage guitars. Bring an old pedal or something and sell it to a dealer to cover your entry cost...
We have become so brainwashed to spend the kind of money we do for wood. The greatest guitar on earth should only be 100 dollars. And they would still make a profit.
For a guitar show these prices I see are just ridiculous! I'm 51 and I rember when I was younger you went to guitar shows because that's where you got killer deals...boy have times changed!! Plus we're in (headed) a recession...its a buyers market, not in Houston lol
I need a 3 hour version of these videos. No matter how long the videos are, it’s just not enough. Great channel and I hope you guys continue to grow.
We appreciate that! Thank you so much!!
Y’all should go to the Dallas Show every year- it’s massive!
@@hubridgell4511 so far we've been 3 years in a row!
💯 agree. I have fallen in love with these videos! Love seeing deals and unique finds
We do indeed love to see it
Nothing makes my weekend start out better than a 50 minute FFOG video. Love it!
Ayeee cheers!!!

I loved the Gibson ES 339. I would have liked to see a few more seconds of that ax. 😊
The green Brinson was my favorite.
We’re going to do a video on that one soon, it’s super cool!
@@aflashfloodofgearDid you do that video!?
gear wise and watching this from germany: the feature of the beringer HP-AMP just made me a good laugh. 🤣 i love my Tokais and Aria 330 n 65`Vibrolux 2 x 10. rock on guys.

That James Tussard was fancy. Been to the showroom in tokyo and their guitars are wild.
Cheers you guys, saw my buddy Bill on the vid, a real good show again .
Really enjoyed your coverage of the Dallas guitar show. So many interesting guitars. My favorite? The sunburst Brinson Guitars telecaster. Beautiful!
Loved this installment. I was fortunate enough to get to attend the Dallas Guitar Show back in the late 90s and it was awesome then but has become mind blowing now. I really flipped over the mid 90's Sea foam Green Charvel Surfcaster 12. Like that one a lot. Great show, great work. Get some rest.
The "I'm mean if you need a job..your a hell of a salesman" comment went right over his head 😂

We were so close on making that deal with the Miris J! Was really eyeing that double cut junior. Such a killer guitar.

17:00 marley lespaul special

You should even show you guys getting something to eat and talking about stuff together.
Cowboy had some nice boots.❤

i used to dislike novo but it kinda grew on me lately, but the best looking guitar in the entire video is the pink brinson tele and the night hawk
I wonder where they keep the Left handed guitar ??
People seem over a phone in their face. Nice guitars, yay guitars.
3 for that Lynch is a deal.
I’d love a U.S. Daphne Blue/Maple 62’ w/dbl-white binding Tele.
Alex: You should try a Lampifier 571 Infinite D.I box .
They're friggin awesome
a little more love to the bass dept would be RAD! like what was that 70s jazz???

The Brunson stuff looks talented
Do these shows ever come to the New York metro area?
Well, I got to ask how many guitars did you sell and buy?
Just lean into it and order a container from a shipping company, pay the duties, and be done - put up a temporary annex "fresh finds from far east" or something but I feel people would really be hitting you up to not only grab stuff as soon as you get back but you could also charge a finder's percentage to bring back specific items.
3:30 Ovation Magnum sighting! noice
Was that the guitoligist's hard tail strat?
Please tell me y’all went guitar hunting around Houston! We have a ton of great stores in the area!
Only a private deal this time, we’d like to do more when we have time!
@@aflashfloodofgear Yes next time you’re in Houston, you should check out Fuller’s Guitar, Texas Music Emporium, Memorial Music, Infinity Guitars, and the Woodlands GC!
ESP George Lynch not the craziest guitars on the market or hype but i love them!!
I think there was a bigger wall, maybe it was the Hard Rock hall of fame? The division Bell, uh?! Namastè.
“Cowboys usually eat nachos…” 😂😂
Alex looking like he's having an existential crisis about being called old for growing up on guitar hero 😂
Ive got a lg2 just like that one..i think its late 50s,,,in a case..
Joe from Robot Monster Guitars S.A.,TX in the background somewhere.
Great dude!!!
😂 34:40
MORGAN amps are high dollar but not very high quality. Ask psisonic audio if you don't believe me.
I have a Cmi Melody maker,anyone know average price?
So many guitars.. So little time... (and money...lol)
Was that guy with the vintage Strat saying 25 as in $25k? Wow 😅
MIJ 69 RI Tele ThinL 😎

Es 339
What kind of instruments are Rittenhouse guitars ?

Round and round it goes. Where stops nobody knows. Prices are out of touch and out of time.

100 dollars guitar sound like sht play like sht look like sht..I know I own a couple
@Wesley-pb7qk I am just saying we pay alot more than our money's worth on our guitars. Me included.
Big Hair Nation...the 3 romans on the end...and the Eastman...
Economic issue everywhere. Remember who is running the country. Rock on
Don McCheeto right?
For a guitar show these prices I see are just ridiculous! I'm 51 and I rember when I was younger you went to guitar shows because that's where you got killer deals...boy have times changed!! Plus we're in (headed) a recession...its a buyers market, not in Houston lol
