    That Tempe Guitar Center is what every guitar center needs to look like if they want to be successful. I tried to sell a guitar at that location, but they turned it down because it had some dings and that they were pickier with their used inventory than other locations. It shows because their used gear is clean and well set up.
    The Scottsdale one is the opposite and has used inventory with rusted hardware, new guitars with unplayable setups, and any guitar over $500 locked away. They need some consistency between stores!

    Thanks for saying what a lot of us are thinking about the Ultra II series. I was the one who Super-chatted about getting a Player II series at Guitar Center and the fact of the matter is, there isn't $1500+ more features or craftsmanship in an Ultra than what I paid for a Player II.

    My Black Friday consisted of buying parts for my FIRST guitar that I am putting together myself. I am building a 54 Fender Esquire, either a Jeff beck replica, but NOT as heavily reliced or just a lightly relic 54 Esquire, without the arm and back side contours. Thanks in part to you Phil, for giving me the confidence to do my own work! Your podcast and videos, DO help! So thank you from my heart!

    Phil, something has changed on your youtube settings. I have youtube premium, which allows for background playback. This has always allowed me to listen to your podcast while i'm out walking, with my phone in my pocket. Recently that changed...but ONLY on your podcast. Now it pauses every couple of minutes...I have to pull my phone out of my pocket to get it to start again. All my other podcasts behave normally. I did some research, and it looks like that individual channels can set background playback on or off. You might want to check.

    All you really need to know is sellers lose, buyers win ! but like you put it, its a question of convenience for sellers. either your willing to sell cause your desperate for fast cash, or impatient about buying an other guitar and don't have the full amount and willing to sacrifice , lose equity value for your impatience to obtain it...

    There is a another way to win at GC too. Trade in during their Black Friday sale, 15% off new items up $1k off (usually it's 20% every year though). So then if you get 60% of used value, add that 15%, then also add Reverb's 10% in fees and you are 85% of your full value. There is also 10% off used sales throughout the year too. Is that extra 15% really worth all of the drama reverb and/or local sales could be? Up to you. Phil, I don't remember if you mentioned they WILL do 10% off anything new when trading in. So, you could trade in a $50 pedal and get 10% off a $3k guitar. Some stuff I will trade in and trade up, some stuff I take cash and anything higher end goes on reverb since then you are loosing too much. FYI managers can override trade in values if they find that UVM(their system) is off. I was told this recently changed and they are no longer allowed to do that though. I think they just need to be better at used. Take better pics for online, offer more sales on used gear.

  • @jimwoodard64
    @jimwoodard64 2 дні тому +1

    @Phillip McKnight great points about how much GC and other stores make selling used gear. That is how our local mom & pop's stay afloat. Kids and parents come in, take a lesson, do some browsing, and buy some stuff. It's all about engagement and return. And your point about Sweetwater is dead on. I want to buy a new keyboard, but I can't go to Sweetwater, get a new one for a trade! I can walk out with a 10% off new gear trade, regardless of value of my trade AND you don't pay sales tax on the value of the trade, so I effectively get another 6% off whatever the value of my trade is! And with Guitar Center, even if your trade is only worth $10, if you trade on a new item that's $1,000, you get an extra $100 off. Can't do that elsewhere.

    I went to a Guitar Center to buy a set of custom gauge D'Addario strings. The 1st Guitar Center only had 2 of the 6 string gauges that i needed. I went to a 2nd Guitar Center and they only had 2 more of the string gauges that I needed. I had to go to a Mom and Pop shop to buy the last 2 string gauges that I needed. It was EASIER to buy a custom gauge set of string gauges in the 1970's than it is today! THAT is pathetic!

    I just picked up a used Jackson Mark Morton signature from guitar center the other day. I’ve always wanted to play one but have never seen one in a guitar shop. It’s like a super ergonomic Les Paul with a slightly offset body shape, belly and forearm contours, and a neck through construction. For how well the guitar plays and feels, I feel like a stole it for $800 bucks. Guitars like that being on the used rack is the whole reason I go to guitar center

    We have a great shop in Minneapolis that gives 70% of their re~sale value if you trade and 60% if you sell (if they're currently acquiring guitars).

  • @TechnoRiff
    @TechnoRiff 2 дні тому

    The Tonex One is a great idea - I had one for a few weeks to check it out, and ultimately returned it. There was just way too much background noise when powered by its 9v jack, especially for the overdrive settings. This goes away when it's powered instead through its USB-C port though. YMMV...
    Also, love my Kiesel Zeus; really great features for its price. I now view other expensively priced guitars by comparing them with it.

    I grabbed a 50's Gibson Les Paul in Cardinal Red which was marked down to 1999.00 but this particular one gets even better, it was marked down further to 1799 for a blem ( a tiny spot on the bass side of the guitar which is literally invisible upon arrival thankfully as well. Here's the big kicker though and why I made the purchase - it weighs exactly 8.2 pounds. I picked this up the very first day the sale was released too. There were 5 to choose from and there was another one which weighed in at 8.6 pounds and while I was pondering the purchase it was sold right before my eyes and disappeared LOL! Luckily though, because that's when the 8.2 pounder I purchased was uploaded that moment so I thank whoever the dude was that purchased the first one 😆
    The fretboard is real dark and after I did a set up on it the action is incredible, frets were perfectly level as well after I checked them with my rocker however they are plecked supposedly so that was really no surprise being spot on. Gibson gets a lot of flack about their QC but I'll be honest here, all 5 of my Gibson USA models play incredibly, maybe I'm lucky though but I thankfully never had an issue with one yet.
    This was probably the first time I've ever really gotten a 'deal' on a 'Black Friday' sale LOL!

    Why isn't the guitar checked when it comes to the store? Do the work / check upfront so you know, that everything is the store is OK to buy.

  • @ItsaCatsLife
    @ItsaCatsLife 3 дні тому

    The 21 day hold might be a good idea but it's a bit rough to offer it for sale in the shop prior to the 21 day check. It would make more sense [to me] if the guitar was first held for 21 days once the shop took it in and BEFORE it's priced & put out on display for sale. Then obviously the buyer can take it right away.

      As a customer I kinda like it because GC doesn't put them online until they clear. You can grab the best deals that way. It also gives me a reason to stop by regularly which is great for GC because they've got a chance to sell me something every time and swing by.

    For this to work, the parents buying guitars need to embrace buying used guitars. But most parents would want to buy brand new as they don’t understand a used guitar can give way more quality for the money. Also I don’t think kids understand this either and want brand new.

    If GC keeps trading out, they will be stuck with useless inventory. If everyone comes in with Harley Benton's and Squires, and do 2-1, 3-1, etc trades to walk out with Fenders and PRSs, GC will be stuck with a bunch of used Benton's that probably have no market. Harley Benton is already a bargain guitar, people aren't looking for a used Harley to get it on a deal.

    Phil, the way you and Shauna manage your available time to avoid over~committing is impressive. I used to work on big software projects and most project managers didn't get this concept. Sure, we can do more sooner, but what do you want to delay? Nope! They want it all and on time too. We just worked free overtime...obviously, it's to management's interest to overload salaried staff and look down their noses at those who call it a week after 40 hours.

    I’m sorry but there is no way Paul Reed Smith and Jeff Kiesel at 47 are/were the same. Yes, they may both want to make the best guitar possible, but what’s between the ears is not comparable. One is a scientist/engineer at heart. The other a craftsman who also likes to race cars. PRS guitars are engineered to the nth degree. Kiesel are basically copies of what already exists with some modifications.

  • @buck7477

    When you trade in to guitar center, buy something that’s on clearance! For example it could be a Fender Professional II Strat for $1299 on clearance. I think mom and pop stores like The Tone Shop in Dallas has 3 stores they will have perhaps many more guitars on clearance. They gave you more money for your guitars because they saw the camera or they know who you are!
