Ishibashi U-box!
Hey Trogly check out Boston AND Cape Cod Ma CL, I am from the western portion of that state and always seem to score well driving out that way for a deal
Try Japanese Yahoo through Buyee or Rinkya.Japan was a guitar crazy country in the 80's and 90's,a lot of cool stuff ended up and started out there.
Hya, it would be extremely interesting to European viewers to look at what being offerd at ebay-kleinanzeigen.de - it is an eBay marketplace in a Craigslist style. I got two relativley rare basses there for below market price (Gibsn Flying V 2012 glossy and one Gibson Explorer 2011 Tobacco burst). Keep it up, great channel Senor Austin!
Try shopgoodwill.com
Next: Guitar hunting on Tinder.
👽 inevitable vegan future 👽 hahaha
Select Hobbies then you will see the Musical Instruments subcategory.
I was just going to say that... :)
The icon is literally a guitar lol
The Echelon I think they just recently change that. Musical instruments used to be buried under the “hobbies“ category. Trogly Probably hadn’t found out about the change, like I had. I used to search Facebook marketplace in a similar fashion.
was just coming to say this

You haven't unlocked this guitar yet.
The Terminator guitar with the built in speaker was my first guitar. I got it for Christmas in 1990 or 1991. If I remember right it was $100 at Kmart.
I enjoy this format where you're not hidden behind a camera, but facing us.
Brought a 50 year old Teisco/Silvertone for £9 of market place. A clean and set up, sold for £113. Pub time!!
Don’t know what E9 means or E113, Euros?
@@soupystevesguitarartsextra3697 british pound, not yet worthless
there’s a musical instrument category under hobbies
Thanks for the cool vlog entry. I've found some awesome pieces of kit on FB Marketplace over the past two years including an extremely clean Vox AC30C2 amp, a near-mint Moogerfooger MF-108M ClusterFlux pedal, a great Korg Wavestation SR (the grandmother of Korg's new Wavestate synth), a clean Casio CDP-100 electric piano with 88 full hammer-action weighted keys, and a nice pair of concrete planters for my geraniums. I haven't bought an actual guitar there yet, and anyhow I've had to stop because I'm all out of space in my studio and all out of cash in my credit union savings account. It's good if you can visit the seller and actually examine the item before you buy it, but usually, you'll need to commit to the purchase in order to get the meeting.
Your points on listings and key words is so important. I also like old cars and I can't tell you how many ads I've seen for a '34 truck that don't even say the make.. and they expect you to know. But the most commonly misspelled guitars I think are the Squiers. So many think it's Squire.
TRUE! The Squier misspellings kill me
There's a musical instruments section on Etsy that I just found out about if you want to see some hand made monstrosities
That Daisy Rock is in my neighborhood. I've seen that ad myself. It was fun to see you range out into my local area.
Trogly getting me through finals. Love this man right here.
Hey the Frickin Bootycaster at around 5 minutes was mine. I built it from new parts on Ebay and Guitarfetish. I did sell it on FB Marketplace along with some other guitars I built.
Hey trogly, I have a Synsonics Terminator MK2, it has the speaker, it's its run by two 9-Volts and all the circuitry is on a single circuit board instead of being wired individually, like all the pots and capacitors are on a board, the guitar's not super great quality but it's got a super rough tone which I enjoy alot, I replaced the tuners because the originals were junky, the bigsby-esque bridge is pretty solid, but fuck does it knock you outta tune. It is really easy to mod though thanks to the proprietary circuitry, I'm planning on popping some Aelita Soviet Union-made pickups into it and really going all out on the customization.
I dont know what the neck is made of, but its bolt on, the guy who owned it before me popped a tusq nut into it.
The body is Masonite, like an old Danelectro or a Kay/Teisco, basically super compressed particle board.
It's a fun guitar though, I am mainly a bass player but I've been learning guitar on it and having a blast, I play mostly like sludgy/heavy distortion stuff so this guitar really does the job for me, but I would not reccomend it if you arent looking for a frankenstrat project that would take a lot of TLC to make it anything worth playing on, but you can get em dirt cheap so you arent dumping much into it regardless lol.
Hey, so you mentioned Guild shapes in comparison to the Kay you were looking at. This is the first time I have heard you mention Guild. Any further thoughts or comments? I have a 90’s D-30 maple with a carved back and gold tuners. It is flamey and has a booming tone. It was manufactured in RI.
Would love a 70’s guild made in USA 12 string of the jumbo variety. But I am not willing to make the investment without seeing and playing the guitar.
In regards to the Epiphone Acoustic with the bolt on neck. That definitely is a 70’s epiphone. The adjustable bridge along with the bolt on neck is the indicator. My first real guitar purchase was an EPI Texan. A twelve string version which was sunburst. It had the bolt on neck. The neck slipped after about five years and drove into the sound hole. I was a 20 year old and knew nothing about guitar maintenance.
Enjoy your channel. Love the reviews. You are pretty good at keeping it interesting. Waiting for you to find the guitar maker/model that makes you play perfectly.
Fun show ! Thank you.....Yuma,AZ.
The yellow Tele was made in Korea and is a Fender, not a Squier. The SD pickups are stock. I have the red one and it is well worth taking a look at. They typically sell for 400-500 on Reverb and are great bang for the buck, but are not well known. You might get lucky with an offer with a local purchase. They are really a LP disguised as a Tele. The set neck MIK Squiers are really nice as well. The pickups are Duncan Designed but the build quality is really good.
I would love to see you do one on the used section of Guitar Center or Music Go Round! I have found a ton of deals there.
Thanks ..love these !!!!
Interesting video. Love your show. Id like to see a Search for guitars in Buffalo NY area.
Most of gear is from the FB Marketplace! I love it, scored a bargain Musicman, Fender Precision Lyte, Fender Jazz and a Strat!
I owned 2 Synsonics guitars, one with speaker and one without. They were Sears Catalog specials. That one with the speaker had sweet natural distortion. Mine was shaped like a Kelly.
You can see instruments under the hobbies tab. Also those old Epiphone acoustics are wonderful if you find a good on. The PR-715-12n is a great 12 string. Better, and way cooler than most taylor and martins at that price. They dont hold their value unfortunately, but wow they are sure underrated!
Synsonics....wow, that was my first guitar (with the built in amp). It was a cheap catalog guitar my parents got me when I first showed interest. I don’t blame them for getting something cheap in case I didn’t stick with it! It was fun for what it was too...had a head phone jack for late night jamming!! Haha
I have one of those diarmond acoustic pickups. Currently in my 1980 ovation balladeer. Has a very unique sound
Have you tried the pawn shop on Rte. 2, west of Swanton? I purchased an Epiphone Genesis there a few years back.
TROGLY!!! My OCD is kicking in. That Powerade bottle has been on your desk for weeks. It's driving me nuts.
I really enjoy these hunting videos. Very informative.
I’ve lucked out on market place a few times. A FSR Black Paisley Tele that just needed pickups for dirt cheap. Also an early 70’s SG that had been in its case for over 30 years. The price wasn’t super cheap but it came with a Gretsch tube amp and several NOS 6L6’s that made the deal pretty sweet.
Since I’m in Fort Wayne, I was thinking that Epiphone Acoustic might be one I could look at if you don’t snag it. But then I noticed it kind of looks like the top has a big water stain and maybe a couple of cracks. Recently discovered your channel and didn’t realize until this video that you are in Bryan, OH.
Thanks for overlooking the Martin. Trying to buy it now 😬
Hello, fellow Ohioian. I'm over here east of Mansfield. I am a new subscriber. Great video 👌!
One thing I HIGHLY recommend people do when they are wanting buy a guitar off of Facebook Marketplace or even Craigslist - whatever town/county the item is being sold in you should get the serial number off of the instrument and call your local Sheriff department or even city police, I prefer to use the Sheriff's office they are usually larger and have more information available. Have the police department run that serial number to make sure it is not a stolen item!! About 4 years ago a local guy here in Alabama purchased a Gibson Les Paul off of marketplace and he got it for a steal, I think he paid like $300 for it and this was a CUSTOM!! Well, within about a week the seller listed another great guitar at a cheap price, then he did it again, and again and finally the police were called and they found out this guy was out stealing these guitars! He was only stealing like one a week from different areas and thanks to the first buyer he got caught. The first buyer thought it was odd that his guy told him he only had that Custom that he bought, but now he has sold like 4 or 5 more? So, do your due diligence and check with the cops, other wise you might get woke up one night with police officers shining a bright light in your face lol.
@Pompous Psycho Did you know that the according to the Supreme Court that police departments do NOT have to respond to any calls, emergency or not, that they don;t want to? Yup, according to the Supreme Court police departments work for the city/county/state and they are not required to respond to any civilian call for help. Kind of messed up huh? Here we thought they were supposed to do this, that was the entire reason for their very existence and yet the Court says nope. Hey, I am a truck driver and I have had to make deliveries and make pickups in some of those real bad areas of Detroit and Chicago, lol yeah I don't blame the cops I wouldn't want to go in there at night lo.
I was looking through marketplace this morning and then watched your vid and the strat for 700 is about 5 miles from me had a little chuckle
I'm from Michigan and looked at these same ads. If you were a few days earlier you would've seen the steal of a guitar I just bought. I picked up a near mint Seagull Maritime SWS CW CH for $400. I absolutely love the Facebook marketplace.
The fender FMT HH was my first guitar and I miss it every day.
Funny, every time I look for something here in Fort Wayne, I always end up only finding what I'm looking for an hour or more away. Maybe I need to search in Bryan and I'll see all of this local stuff!
Hello from northeast Michigan.....can you tell me what book you use to look up guitar values?.....thanks
I have found many deals on guitar center web site used section . They also have a vintage section
Well that was a lot of fun, particularly liked the Kay with the Dearmond, very Elmore James though I believe he used a Harmony Sovereign..The 2 15 Gretsch is I think the model used by George Van Eps the inventor of the 7 string guitar. It must have a hell of a low end!
Try “letgo”... its a ghetto version of craigslist....
I'd like to see a search of sites that aren't necessarily selling electric guitars. Like piano or band instrument sellers. How about unclaimed repairs?
I once found a 'Fender Radio' listed at an estate auction. It was a reverb unit.
Hey, i have one of them white Peavey basses. Mine is called a Milestone III and the pickups are more like Jazz pups.
I know of a 1966 mustang in Massachusetts, on the same market. Natural finish. Published a week ago.
Wow! I used to have a Daisy Rock bass. Loved it!! Hehehehe
That Kramer. Is mint. And I can vouch for the seller, really great dude! Cincinnati and Columbus typically have some cool findings on marketplace
I have a Synsonics that I bought from Toys R Us back in the 80's with a small Explorer body, still plays great. I've never seen another one like it.
FB Marketplace is a real mixed bag. Generally when I've asked for more photos I get them - so it's always worth doing that, especially if there's something specific you want a look at!
My best score was a parts Tele that had a Lollar '52 neck pup, Wilkinson bridge, Fender bridge pickup (I can't remember exactly but it's a vintage voiced one from an American series), Fender Cabronita 2013 neck (confirmed by serial number!), and a quite beat up Ash(?) Thinline body - which was the most interesting part of the guitar. A nice Seafoam Green poly finish that seems to be painted over a Daphne Blue finish that you can see from the various chips around the body, neck socket stamped SOB (no idea!). Thing sounds amazing, and all for just over £250!!
The only thing really wrong with it is the neck pickup for some bizarre reason is mounted with these huge screws about twice the size of a regular pickup screw, which ruins the look a little.
i live about an hour south of New Castle, PA and i think theres something in the water up there, asi deal with those people a LOT..
I Loved the other video where you helped out a customer buying the guitar undercover lol So I would love to see similar videos of you driving to places to find guitars
I bought a vintage Ibanez RG550 made in 1987 in a very rare blue color for about $750 off Facebook Marketplace. It took WEEKS to get shipped, but when it arrived it was in great shape and it was just like new. And I still love it to death. I was lucky, but I usually shop on Reverb for guitars.
Fender Squires made in Japan are desirable. They have specs like vintage Strats, but do need electronics upgrades. I have an "86 with Eric Johnson pickups and blender circuit. There was one on the first page of the 100 mile search.
Austin , please please please do a follow up on that kay acoustic it looks like it has so much mojo
There is Musical Instruments . Just click Hobbies, Then Musical Instruments.
*That Kay guitar was cool, but "BORNE FREE"? Is that a reference to something I don't get or a typo?*
1:50 my name's Austin too and I've had the same curiosity around Austin guitars
I have one of the sanblasted Telecasters from that series. They are made in either Crimson Saphire blue. I wrote Fender and there were only 300 made. I believe there were slightly more Strats made but they along with the teles and basses were all limited. There are not many out there. They are American Standards in terms of hardware.
I'm a HUGE marketplace shopper. Currently looking at one, and have gotten 3 great deals shopping there. Got an Auburn Mist Squier that's killer, a 1992 Seagull Acoustic with HSC, and a cool weathered Ibanez. I look daily lol.
On fb marketplace, I finagled a guy down to $2000 for a 74 VW Beetle that he was asking $3800 for last year.
It's worth every bit of what he was asking,but I just didn't wanna pay it..we went back and forth for about an hr ,I called his bluff and started to leave and he said, "Hey son..I really need the $ I'll give it to you for 2Gs..lol, I was so damn happy🤘😎
Rock on Trogg! Great video!
Those synsonics (with the battery powered speaker built in) are mini guitars
I think that Resolator is almost tempting enough to catch me if I were in your area. The thumb picks are a nice add on bonus. The Epiphones are not all bolt ons. I had a friend Gary that had a 70's one that had a set neck. I don't know if that makes it a better guitar though. His guitar was beatiful and could have been $1000 guitar. The bolt-on ones are pretty decent. I would be comfortable selling one around 500-600 bucks and not feel like I was getting over on someone. I think they have a bit of a cult following lately. They could go up in price, but it would be inflation. Plus, nowadays you can get a whole lot of acoustic guitar once your willing to spend $500.
Jay Turser can be a very good mod platform guitar. Often times have very good necks and bodies with standard cheap electronics. They are on par with Oscar Schmidt/Washburn and I believe made in the same factory. The headstock emblem is the same.
Kinda wish you'd take a brief look at some of the nice acoustics that flew by.
Do a marketplace hunt for guitars in Nashville, TN!
I had one of those synsonics from the 80s your not missing much 😂 still have the body but used the neck on another project
Some photos can be very questionable especially if just a single shot. You said Lab Series L5? That's the amp B.B. King preferred if there were no Fender Twin Reverbs available.
That was a "Rogue", resonatar guitar, I have one identical.3-400 new
I would have looked at that 1985 mij strat! Great guitars.
Great vid - A thought - How about doing a standalone video (or series) consolidating the previous on-line marketplaces that you visit - suggestions on search parameters, comparison pricing (ala Reverb), pitfalls, scams, etc, etc. I think it could potentially be a great resource.
Honestly that daisy rock is cool. Single pickup sing cut w a sparkle paint job. If the neck and frets are good I’d rock it.
I am a simple man
About to go to sleep, but I see troglys uploaded
I click and enjoy
Nice
Hey trog love this new series cool stuff man! Can you do capitol district in upstate NY facebook garage sale? Will be interesting to get your take. Seems my area is not too different from yours but there is a guitar center and a few other guitar shops near by. Thanks either way trog! Rock on!
Hello! Auto-play brought me to this video. Glad that it did! Good stuff. It also just so happens that I work at Sweetwater!
For the epiphone acoustic that was listed at $1234, he probably wants offers or to trade. The 1234 is there because you have to put something in the price line, even if you are just looking to trade.
Or just you contact the seller to find out the actual price
Tucson AZ check it out. Home of the famous rainbow guitars..
I've played a few Austins. Pretty good for an el cheapo
I had a Kay hollowbody acoustic with a GIGANTIC hole in it. Completely unusable because of the hole sadly. It was BEAUTIFUL though.
It would be great to see another PRS review! Like a 7-stringer of something.
That Yellow Ibanez Iceman was prob made to Paul Gilbert specs. If you look at some of his the neck pickup is offset like that. It was most likely done intentionally
Bought a 1960's Guild on MP for $200 and sold it in 3 minutes on Reverb for $895.
I belong to a few Facebook Groups that specifically deal with people selling and buying instruments. This seems to be a more "predictable" way to get instruments on Facebook than the general Marketplace. From these groups I've gotten some pretty great deals. I got a 2009 American Standard Strat with Fender TSA-style case for $600. It needed a fairly involved setup since it was a touring musician who played it a lot and never really bothered with maintaining it. It's pretty cool because the band made a video with it and it is featured on their album art, so it has a bit of a story. I also got a 1954 Gibson LG-1 acoustic that was in pretty neglected shape (missing a brace, the bridge pulled the top, the tuning keys disintegrated) for about $300. I sent it to a guy who specializes in "student grade" acoustics from the 50's and 60's who did a complete restoration and upgrade for about a grand. It's now my favorite guitar. I also snagged a Shure 55 mic for about $20, a pair of the Line6 big pedals (the DL4 green delay and the blue ML4 Modulation) for about $200 for the pair and a Peavey Deuce II from like 1978 for $70 that was damp at one point, but I did a restoration of it ordering new hardware and redoing the grill and things like that and it's a pretty cool amp to have around-- it is solid state with a tube power stage.
Austin, you should do a search in the Austin TX area. With their music scene, there should be a lot of good stuff.
celticwolff I love searching Austin on Reverb. There’s definitely some deals there.
Those Smartwood series Les Pauls sound and play phenomenally well! :)
The epi acoustic looks to have a zero fret which is usually a pretty clear indicator of a Japanese made guitar. They used the old blue Kalamazoo labels for a little bit in Japan so that could be a little confusing. They’re not worth much. People sometimes ask a premium for them because they get confused by the blue label thinking they are USA, or they just don’t know that they’re really not built very well…
Trog where exactly do you live i seen hamilton waterloo is not far from you do you ever been to london
There’s a listing on the market place in garden city,Taylor,mi guys got a lot of this tiesco guitars listed.im not familiar with them,I’m a subscriber and love the show.looked like some pretty cool ones in there.his collection for sale basically
Nice vid 👍. I’m from the Netherlands. You said you could look at any place so..... the Netherlands ? 😊
This is a good video, I've been trolling in my local Marketplace for a while now and we're from a place where not a lot of people are very intelligent when it comes to selling stuff online so I can like really take advantage of some of the deals and some of the people on there my only problem is I don't know how to assess the condition of a guitar well enough. Can you do a video will you teach me how to look at the neck how to look at certain things how to look for certain things and how to sort of get an idea of what I'm buying. Currently some guy that lives like a baseball throw away from me has an epiphone Zakk Wylde camo bullseye for a good price but I don't know if it's worth it or not I don't want to take the risk I'm not rich enough to take a risk there's also a prophecy Futura for sale locally but it's been on the page for like a year and it gets taken down it gets put back up and it's really cheap the only $300 Canadian so that makes me think that there's something wrong with it and maybe they're just looking to you know get rid of it on somebody that doesn't know how to look at the condition correctly. So yeah it it's one thing the show us how to look around online for guitars but that information is almost useless if you don't give us the pointers of what to look for and when to walk away. Thanks trogly
those sysonics guitars are awesome and it sounds Ok. used to play it in the school parking lot.
I like marketplace because you can find some $20 -$50 freshly posted instruments.. My g310b MIK January 93 was $40 and it's literally like new and quirky. I also have a Takamine G NEX that I paid $75 for.. Also perfect. This nice digital pattern identifying quarter sawn neck down the center..
G400s all day for $200ish but the higher priced stuff always seems to link to a guy like yourself. The same processional photos etc.
But you always have the guy who posts for $75 then gladly takes $40.
If you can fix things you can get free stuff.
I'm a fan of Japanese guitars so I think you should go to Ishibashi U-box or Rakuten and hunt. Finding a deal might be harder but man do you find the coolest guitars over there! I had a friend who used to work over there and he bought and filled cargo containers and sold them off over here. This was when the Yen was really cheap, I miss those days.
I scored a sweet 01 Gibson LP Special (p90s) in Cinnamon finish with gig bag a few weeks ago on Facebook Marketplace for $550. There are some bargains to be had.
Was on Marketplace earlier(Detroit area), and 'saved' some of those. I've got 2 more weeks in Facebook jail right now, so I can't message any of them to buy.
Enjoying the channel man. Have you shopped at Good Will? No kiddin, shopgoodwill.con (with a “m”of course) has a musical instrument section and it subs to guitars and even acoustic/electric or amps and electronics. I bought a couple of things and people do donate Gibsons and Fenders and other old stuff. Deals are spotty, some cool stuff never gets a bid and other stuff sells for way too much. It’s fun looking though.
THat Epi with the bolt on is a old Japanese model. Most are really good quality. I just missed out on one with flamed maple (rare IMO) on a trade proposition. I took too long thinking/researching on it, as I would rather sell the Roland JC77 I've listed, Thinning out my amp collection. That Kramer striker is just down the road from me, saw that ad in my feed...tempting.
I've viewed a handful of vids on this amp and this is the best. I want one.
My first guitar was a Synsonics Explorer type guitar that my dad picked up at a yard sale. The guitar was a piece of crap and ended up in the garbage. Still, pretty cool having seen one in person and playing it.
That bridge saddle on that Epiphone makes me think it is a 60's model or a 70's japan(?) made. No inlay in headstock might take it out of 60's
I have an old epiphone acoustic with a set neck, and I'm not gonna lie it's the best acoustic guitar I've ever played, I got it for about 400 in trade, I've played guitars that cost four times as much that don't touch its tone. Sometimes you can't beat well seasoned wood. I'd steer clear of the bolt on necks though. I've known a couple of people who've had them and the necks bow like crazy and aren't stable with tuning
