- In this video I go to one of my favorite local pawn shops in Nashville, TN ... with the intention to buy something and review/demo it for the channel. I take you along for the ride and also include a couple of surprises along the way. Tune in to see what I buy.... or if I buy anything at all. I hope you enjoy the video. Please subscribe!

I’m here ALL DAY for the “that’s what she said” comments 😂 it’s like a bat signal and I’m immediately drawn to it no matter what. Might have a little bit to do with the fact that my brain never developed past age 12 but still… Oh and I used to live in Charlotte Park when my wife and I first moved in together 33 years ago and the traffic sucked back then and it’s off the chart shitty today - God bless you for embarking on that trip… 😂
I've worked at home for a while and it's so nice. I used to travel these roads so much. It's pure insanity!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Same! I drive once a week to M’boro for church and that’s the extent I’m willing to drive these days if I can help it! 😂 #spoiled
Cool video! Wish we had pawn shops like this around here where I live! Rarely see cool guitars like this. Nice score Marty!
Thanks! 🙏
Great deal on the Epiphone Guitar 🎸 & the Pod Cast 🎤 mic... Great Haul ... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thanks! I was quite happy with the score!
Very entertaining and educational. As a bass player I really enjoy your presentation, It would be nice to see a YT bass guitar channel with an influencer with the presentation and charisma as you. Excellent work thanks.
You people who live in the USA are very lucky to have so many "pawn shops" all over the place for cheap bargains.
Here in Europe you never see this kind of stuff - except (maybe) on certain weekends at flea markets, but they dont have guitars on sale.
Because of our 💩 economy
It's rare to find a bargain anymore, the Pawnshops are also able to search ebay etc to find what stuffs worth.
In france we have a lot of pawn shop in big cities, but they’re not selling gibsons for 2.7k $…. The pricing of this shop were very high imo, 180 $ for a shitty valvestate or 180$ for a no name acoustic guitar is VERY expensive
9:36 Esteban lives! 😂 You’ve been killing with the videos lately man, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
Les Paul p-90 sweet! Happy Father's day! Thanks Marty 🤘 love races! Canceled here rain!
Cool vid, Marty - as always. And man what a SWEEEET haul you got there, for $90 Scooters. Even for $100 with the tax. That's awesome. The mic sounds really good, and it's a cool piece of gear. And hey - nobody could go wrong with that Epi LP Special II for $70. Wow. Simple. Durable. And flat out rockin.' Man that thing sounds killer coming through that Freidman! This was fun, and a great start to my Fathers Day! Hope you have a good one too.
Marty, Nice score.. I frequent pawn shops in my travel for work and have found some gems for sure.. Fender 68 Custom Twin needed tubes for $ 350.. a Les Paul LPJ with a JB in the bridge and 50'sd wiring for $ 200.. but i have a satin black Epiphone Special with wrap tail and 2 P90's, the Epi P90's are hot.. I plugged the tuner screw holes and bought some stew mac no-name kidney bean mini tuners and shimmed the neck and did a quick fret level.. and she has action at 1.0mm.. unreal how she plays..
That's awesome man. Very nice 😃🎸
Very cool Marty Happy Father’s Day! The mic and guitar sounds fantastic 🤟🏻
Thanks! 😁🎸
Pawn Shop fun in nashville... I've made some excellant buys in the past....Great show Marty !
Thanks so much. I appreciate ya watching 😎✌️
Microphone sounds good as well Happy Father's Day Marty😎
Pawn shops kick ass! Happy Fathers Day.
Awesome find! Nashville and Texas one can still find an axe in a pawn shop. Many gems fall thru the cracks, some cool factory seconds and custom builders… congrats!
great tour video Marty! glad that Epi found a happy home; you played it better than it probably is & i ain't complaining.good score!
Most of the pawn shops I've been in lately try charging $300 for a $100 guitar.
You gotta low ball em. They usually crumble. 😂
Good job Marty! These types are good for having alternative tunings at the ready.
Yeh totally, they're really stable too. With a little fine tuning and tweaking (if needed) they are work horses!
"pull around to the back"....giggity hahaha!!!
man that guitar is sweeet! i have two myself..."red baccoburst" and a black "baccoburst"...the black one now has "59ers" from guitarmadness and the red one has some offbrand(sounds killer)from ebay...
i recently bagged a epi LPjr with the humbucker...it came with the "highwall" ring too! its black "baccoburst" as well...thinkin about poppin in a p94 to get the good ole p90 vibe...
that crate head unit looked nice as well...im a crate guy....
that mic seems to work nicely too!
hekk man some of the best used guitars around come from the pawnshop lol! thats where my 2 black "baccoburst" LP ones came from!
Nice Epiphone for 70 bucks definitely, I had a Behringer bass amp for my Yamaha electronic drum kit and that thing works flawlessly and sounded great.
Cool! I e never had any issues with Behringee stuff. Solid gear!
I just subscribed n wow 😮 what a fantastic deal you got! For just doin a quick set up n record a demo Sounded great 👍! From Mt. Pleasant Michigan. Rock on..
Thanks so much dude! 😎🤟🏻
Just subbed Marty....anyone who does a bit of Eric....and the Cliffs of Dover.I am in.I am a retired plumber and drummer.But i do own a few guitars and started to play some years ago.Not really good at guitar stuff.....but years ago i really wanted to be good and learned some Metallica stuff, then slacked off.Had a Marshall half stack out in garage behind a custom Tama kit.But those days are past now and sold the amp to my brother.Thanks for your content.
You're welcome man! Keep Jamin dude. Having fun is the most important thing. Improve over time. Push yourself, but always have fun.
I live an hour and half south of Nashville. I was there Saturday guitar shopping. Went by that place but didn’t stop. I came home empty handed. Hitting Florence/ Muscle Shoals this Saturday.
Very cool Marty; the hunt man! Love shopping for deals on gear but I will admit I have not been to a Pawn Shop in almost 30 years....I think I need to make a trip soon!
Fun pawn shop trip, Happy Father's Day Marty🤘
Thanks man! 🙏🎸
Everything I saw that looked interesting was over-priced. Good negotiation skills are a must.
True man! Gotta make offers!
Pawn shops are great! I have found some nice, budget price guitars at a couple pawn shops in my area that I wouldn't think twice about using them for a modding project guitar. They are usually around $100-$120 or less. Much cheaper than paying full price for a new epiphone or squire or whatever to upgrade stuff on. Good times.
Best thing nowadays is to have a buddy who buys storage lockers.
That’s the new treasure hunt gig that pawn shop’s used to be.👍🏻
That would be fun. I'd love to do the storage locker thing! Risky but hey... it would be fun.
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I don’t have an interest in doing it myself, but a have a buddy that does a lot of it.
He hasn’t come across a 58 Les Paul yet, but he found me a cool banjo, and he’s found a couple of firearms from the 17 and 1800’s.
I like the color of that Epiphone, nice find!
I like a good bargain. In you video, I saw a Peavey red stripe. I have one, they are awsome amps, only down fall is that they are heavy amps to carry around. Great video and all the best.
John From Cornwall.
Closed music stores are nearly 2 hours away.
But we do have quite a few pawn shops.
Paid a fantastic price for my Gibson Les Paul studio.
Also several amps.
Marty I swear you can make any guitar sound good man I think it is what they say tone is in the hands
Thanks man, tone is in the hands for sure but you need a stable instrument too! This guitar really is not bad at all. 😁
10:57 yep
That's why it's known as Crashville anymore
😊 Surface streets, 41, 65 24 40 West East isn't too bad when you get out of town for the most part
I forgot about that Nashville speedway still in business there. I was thinking the big super speedway out there by Darrell waltrip drive in the Amazon warehouse off of 840.
Crashville is right man ... this particular day it was particularly crazy! Sometimes regret even leaving the house trying to get around. Lol
And to round out the day He caught a little race action at "Da Rim". Happy Fathers day to you ole bud. That red Ep sound had a nice warm body to it
I used to buy at Berry's pawn shop..In fact I knew Berry pretty well & got some great deals in the 80s & 90s there..Good place to look for gear.
Great vid really enjoyable to watch
Great video. Make more of these dude
There was a 76’ reissue Gibson explorer in my local pawn shop for 5 years. Finally one day I asked to play it and it was an insanely good player. I had to have it, so i traded an Epiphone sg+ $600 for it. Came with the original case too. Made out like a bandit.
$70.00 pawnshop special beater guitar + Marty5150 = Awesome!
You scored pretty big on those two items. Nice job.
Thanks! I was very pleased 🎸🙏
Great video my brother!!!!!
Much appreciated
Fun video! Funny, when you turned the bridge tone down, I thought "sounds like Cliffs of Dover tone"! And what do you play?? Great minds. Happy Marty day!
I woul
d have snatched the Apollo up and resold it lol
just found this channel , good stuff, new sub
Thanks so much man!
Cool vid Marty happy dads day 🤘
Great video Marty! Nothing negative about that Epi for sure! What racetrack was that?
Thanks man! It's a small 1/4 mile track north of Nashville called veterans motorplex speedway. They race every Saturday night. There's a drag strip north of Nashville too. Haven't been there in many years though. But it's worth the drive if you are a local and like racing.
Today a dealer from Memphis is driving to Casino Guitars in NC with 3 Warrior Guitars for me to Choose from, using Casino which is much closer to Memphis Dealer is from then here in Florida, he gets some Vintage Tim Shaw Pickups, a Abby Loaded Pickguard with 69 Custom Shops and my Slash Victoria Goldtop for his Warrior Rick Derringer.a 54 Prototype or a Dran Michael Model. Right now leaning towards Derringer Model
What Deal! In Brazil one guit like that, in great condition, would cost 12 times more. Greetings from brasil.
I really dig the instrumental music during the pawnshop part, is that you're own original song?1st and 2nd song* id like to listen to it or know more about it? great channel and content btw cheers from Florida
Thank you! Yeh that's all my stuff man. I do instrumental stuff on the side. Have for years. I just never really promote it. I used to push hard on the original music scene but now use it to compliment my channel rather than as a product as stand alone music.
I have the SG version of that Epiphone. Put some PAF Alnico 2's from Vanson in it and is so sweet on the cheap.
Fun video with some roundy round thrown in.😁🤣
I bought a complete Tama Superstar kit from the 80’s for $400 about 10yrs ago, incredible drums, better build quality then all modern kits, except DW, and for $400, you can’t even buy a DW snare!! lol.. even came with Paiste Colorsound cymbals… Love Pawn shop deals!!
The color reminds me of the finish on alot of SG guitars.
An R8 for $USD 2300 - you wouldn’t see any R8s in Australia for the equivalent price in $AUD. I think it’s a bigger used guitar market in the USA.
Its an R6 not an R8
@@jamesmayfield6683 specifically a 2007 Custom Shop Limited Edition Dark Burst '56 Reissue. 150 made. I did some digging because I couldn't remember a '56 reissue in a tobacco/dark sunburst. Still a reasonable price though not in pristine condition (especially the headstock veneer). Same spec as an R6 goldtop just with a tobacco sunburst finish.
Dude you should refin that special, and do a video. I think that would be awesome 🎉🎉🎉
Awright, gotta tell my true lie.
A little over two years ago I stepped into my local small-town music shop just as they were setting up a a nice, clean barely used looking 66 Fender Bassman Silverface head and its matching cab.
I asked how much, and the guy said they just put it up on Reverb and the price is $1,000.
I said $800 cash dollars in the time it takes to get it out of my wallet?
The 3 employees were excited. It was Friday at almost closing. I guarantee $800 _total_ hadn't come through that door in the past 6 days. They were eating steak tonight.
The price was the only thing mentioned about the amp the whole time. It may be full of beer cans.
Got it home, did an inspection.
*Untouched* Like digging up a pristine tomb of a Pharaoh. It had a service sticker from the same music store dated 1972. It had never left town. AB165 Circuit. Not my fav, but I can fix that. Caps were all original, none leaking visually. Tubes were all matching 60's-70's era RCA.
I bypassed the death cap, and installed a 3 wire power cord. Fired it up, keeping my eyes open Awesome. Sublime. A moment that will always seem a soft-focus dream like memory. Those old paper n oil filter caps seemed in ok shape. Dabbled and fiddled a bit. Turned it off, put a cover over it and currently awaits a complete up and down with a couple mods, hybrid circuit, and full recap.
Just 1 more false fact.
That store was owned by a guy named Larry Welborn. His brother ran it, though.
The Larry Welborn that just happened to be I think the last remaining original Cricket. As in Buddy Holly and the Crickets. I shit you not. He was Buddy's bass player from their Lubbock high school band, the Western and Bop Band. That's Larry on _"That'll be the Day."_ But Larry was replaced by Don Guess early on, so that's the only credit I'm aware of.
Larry passed away a little over 2 years ago.
And I've got the last Crickets last amp.
How's that for a bullshit story that happens to be completely true?
The microphones picking up great from just sitting back in that chair you don't have to get right up to it
Thanks, I thought so too! Gavin was 50%. Still more to go if needed.
Pawn shops are getting hip to the values of their gear by checking the web. It sucks these days.
That's true. But they still haggle and barter. At least the ones I shop at do!
It's been that way for awhile. I feel like the Goodwill aren't the same. I could find vintage concert shirts, bowling jerseys but people buy them up and sale them online
For many years, collectors have teamed with pawn shops , so that they are called when anything good comes in, so they have first dibs. I was told this by several shops 35 years ago. To this day, I have yet to find anything good at any pawn shop. I did find a 25 year old Fender squire standard series Strat in great Condition at an antique shop. Souped it up and it’s a great playing and sounding guitar.
I got my PV 5150 Il @ pawn store for $300...What a steal
In Holland we onley have second hand crap on the walls!
That's typically the case here too. Just gotta keep looking, with expectations low. 😂
Bitchin man. I dig that guitar. Sounds better than my Tele. Very cool mic. You found some bargains. Fun shopping with you. I like checking out your vids Marty. If you ever get a chance, check out Cam Cobb’s book “Weighted Down “, the story of Skip Spence’s life. I was in one of his bands called Epicenter. I’m in the book. Rock’N’ Roll history and the’60’s.
Peace Out my friend 😊🎉.
Thank you so much man 😎🎵🛸
I've purchased several guitars from this place... I tried to get em before Big Fret on Ebay did.
Dude, that was awesome guitar playing! You should play some improve on your channel! Invite a keyboard player to Jam with you! 😮
Thanks so much man!!
That guitar sound was literally roaring! You got the nitro hooked up to that engine! Man, you've reached the proverbial 10,000 hours! 🎉🎉🎉
Sounds like you could use that mic RIHHT NOW 😂👍 gg
Nice, I see you rockin it at the end.🤘
wow! nice sounding EPI nice tone
for $70.00 i'm shocked
smoking deals!!!! i like to frequent a shop when they have something i want overpriced. EXAMPLE/ a pawn shop had this yamaha g100 iii amp HEAD wich is extremely rare. kept trying to talk him down from 250. Couple years pass and i say, dude you ll nerver sell that thing. people dnt know what it is. HOW ABOUT 150 OTD..... BAM!!!!! killer ass pedal platform clean and SILENT operation. got my dsl40 from the same place.
Sketchy part of town are EXACTLY where you find Pawn Shops dude!
Very true!!
the pawn shop locally to me gives me some good deals on gear i love goin to pawn shops to look for good deals
You could try dark red nail polish to cover that
You should get a Scarred guitar from the channel Scar my Guitar and review it Sean is kicking out some awesome guitars
Mic worked well. You kept leaning forward but you didn’t need to. You talking while playing both you and amp sounded good and the amp didn’t over power or distort. Can’t beat that for 20 bucks
The mix on your background music is driving me nuts! Does that hihat need company? Was it abandoned on dessert island and is now shouting for help?
One would think that there would be more Teles since...it is Nashville.
Its a 51 50 shot, but the back door was closed. Thats what she said 😅🎉
I'd ask them what's about to come out.
Do you have any upgrade plans for the les paul?
Shows you don't need a shit ton of cash to get playing. Sure, the amp isn't free but even with a modeller or a Spark go or something I'm sure this could rock absolutely fine.
I have a $30 headphone amp that sounds great. You can always plug it into a speaker
Not fair-this guy can make a bail of hay sound good
Was that an Esteban guitar?
Yeh man lol
I found a Navigator Esparto for $180 at a pawn shop.
That’s what she said
Custom Shop Lester for 2800??? Smokin deal.
Truth. I just wish it had humbuckers. I have a Goldtop with p90s and in good with it.
Pawn shops just aren't the same since the internet. Never find a deal like you used to.
True, but you can really barter a lot and find deals. Just gotta keep searching. ✌️
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker Luckily I have the ultimate guitar and amp for me already :) The search is over :)
Ahhhh ill blame camera angle😁
Ya figure it would have been bound neck
P.S. and then do a giveaway, Dude yeah
$2748,,,,,for a tribute Les Paul?
I mean there actually super cool guitar with a quick P90 swap for some Lawlors and a proper set up but come on now that worse then Reverb prices
It was an R 8'custom shop. Kinda ugly IMO. P90 Les Paul's need to be goldtops!
Pawn shops always have BC Rich...not sure why?
It could be poplar instead of mahogany
Hard to say. Some were made of popular, some mahogany, laminate press board, maple. It varies. I need to take the plates off and carefully inspect the inside. They spray the cavities with dark black paint so I need to look for ripples etc. it may be laminate!
@@Ranch5150SkinWalker it really doesn't matter but if you are super curious, you can remove the neck and that may reveal the wood, anyway, enjoy the guitar!
I'm the guy who sold that shit to a pawn shop. GAS relief needed here.
😂
70 dollar guitar into 3k amp...priceless
Pawnshops pay shit for gear. Any music store would beat any pawnbrokers offer. Nashville is probably an exception because of the music scene...but there are only 3 reasons a piece of gear ends up at a pawnshop: 1. it's stolen. 2. it's a piece of shit or broken. 3. the player is a drug addict.
$600 wtf? #SLO
No bargains anymore. Greedy bastards have taken over our guitar world.
The same stupid joke over and over is not a good thing to put in your video.
I'm the biggest joke of all so I probably need to omit myself lol
