And Izzy's cool shirt. It is clear from the cameos that she just don't give a fox about this stuff....It's all about the big eyed doggy.

[@badpants]

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.

[@9ZenMedia]

Why is the dog not on this list.

[@PhillipNeal]

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

[@lorikislack1504]

Dog was best part, don't be mad

[@JustChiminin]

A better title would be: Blue eyed wonder dog at the guitar show!

[@acmebrandinc]

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog may come knocking to take the blue eyed girl dog out.. =)

[@hyperluminalreality1]

Izzy don't give a fox.

[@chriscable8300]

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.

[@MadScientistGuitarLab]

Lol. I’ve been known to use critters like that as commentators in videos, or as a stand in for a video chat when I don’t want to be seen. 😂

better title is: badly behaved child dose not know how to act in public.

[@frankforrester42]

That cracks me up. My kid, about same age would be doing the same thing with is stuffed animal ha

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

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.

[@HellcatCustoms]

That flea market was all the Reverb dreamers in one room. A guy can rarely find a steal on anything anymore.

[@TheGuitologist]

There was money left in a few things.

[@nickdryad]

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.

[@TheBagelBros69Lol]

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

[@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040]

Internet changed things. Everybody exactly knows what they have nowadays. Combing second hand sites every day still scores you excellent bargains though.

[@graxjpg]

@@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.

[@invsibl_monstrs]

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.

Cool video, Brad. I like when you visit places and show us all. 👍

Maannnn…I could watch this all day. We need more of these 🤙🏼

[@Ibaneddie76]

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.

[@PooNinja]

No more ignorant seller deals 😢 thanks internet 🤬

[@taotuhao5969]

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]

@@taotuhao5969 and yet you used the internet to find that deal?

[@taotuhao5969]

@@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.

[@ethanstrydom7331]

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

[@KB_Joys]

Nice video Brad. I liked the art at the end of the video as well.

[@TheGuitologist]

Thanks man! Yeah, I dug that piece too. Spoke to me.

[@exlibris3776]

man i love these swap meet/pawn shop videos. Its such a famine for cool used stuff where I live

really enjoy these video's ,. thanks again ..Friday's coming

[@Axldeziak]

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.)

[@davidkaiser810]

Your daughter is very sweet. Loved the blue eyed bear effects.....

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Really cool stuff , You should have bought a lot of that . I wish our city had more of these Swaps .

[@UncleDoug]

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.

[@fredruhoff8576]

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!

[@TheBill70800]

Your Daughter made the video a whole lot enjoyable with that little dog popping up.

[@mikebottiaux5850]

[@bryandraughn9830]

Another cool video!

[@markcatron8996]

Great video. I'm sure with some of the pricing you were showing, Much of that stuff went back home with its seller.

That blue eyed stuff toy had me cracking up. 😄 👍

[@AdolfFauci]

These are my favorite videos that you do. I got my boys hooked on pawn shopping years ago and whenever we go on vacation we like to check out the local pawn shops and second hand stores. My wife doesn't enjoy it as much as we do though

[@goodun2974]

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.

[@michaelheaton9503]

I really like the flea market videos thanks brother

[@prosofter767]

That tele would’ve been a steal. They go for double that on reverb. The tele plus is what Johnny greenwood from Radiohead is famous for playing.

[@GeneSchmidt]

Great video!

[@NeiloNeil]

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.

[@poodlenme]

Brad cool video!

[@stillben]

That was a grest video...thank you. Loved that guru in the sleevless t shirt

[@cjw3129]

Cool video props to the new channel mascot LOL

[@jgrimsley2000]

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.

[@canucklehead0]

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!

[@OzziePete1]

Interesting video Brad. I noticed a Ross pedal behind the first booth of guitars you went to....where that Tenor Danelectro guitar was... If it was one of their original Compressor pedals that would be worth something?

[@RenoNuski]

I have the older and narrow stand up model Victrola that has been in the family for years. Even the thick old "platters" of symphonies for it.

[@cheryllakin3077]

This is your kinda place, dad😎. Too bad you didn't bring a little trailer with you. That victrola cabinet was gorgeous!!

[@91rss]

Is there any buy sell sites for guitars? My friend has a left handed Strat and a LH 2000's les paul that he bought with intentions and never used it .he wants to move.

[@CarpRidesAgain]

Hey man, you got a way to get that pink squire in the first part of the video? My daughter's got a b day coming up and I'd like to by one just like that for her. Thanks in advance

[@TomTobin67]

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.

[@KenSilvers]

That mic was an astatic stand mic. I have converted them into bullet harp mics. That crystal mic makes the best harp mic

[@joelspaulding5964]

[@framusburns-hagstromiii808]

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!

[@edwardlouisbernays2469]

I had a old musicmaster bass in 1967, I agree with your assesment, I swapped mine for a Dannelectro Base.

[@acidfilth2007]

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.

[@acidfilth2007]

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.

[@TheGuitologist]

What was the artist name?

[@acidfilth2007]

Zhang Hun

[@arricat5e311]

The lace sensor is a good pickup for that bass imo. Especially the red

[@flapjack413]

I'm wondering if I worked on that musicmaster bass... Back in 2015, someone brought me a musicmaster that was refinished in black primer, and I did a fret level on it and cut a black pearl pickguard for it. He picked it up from a flea market in Massachusetts. Dude went around to lots of flea markets looking for gear. Would have loved to seen the pickguard come off because I wrote on the back of it and would know for sure if that's the same bass!

[@cyb3r3vil30]

Some really cool finds I have the same luck Find cool stuff and no mad money TFS enjoyed

[@kristopher6031]

Love flea markets in October! 🌽🎃 Long live the guitologist!

[@totallyunmemorable]

I had one of those analog delays back in the Seventies. I didn't like its sound - but the main issue with those is that dirt gets down in that switch and you can't turn 'em on and off. I suppose some contact cleaner would fix that though. Just a word of warning, to whom it may concern.

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video and even had a smile at the photo boming teddy bear. Has your girl any plans on taking up playing the guitar. All the best

I didn't ask a price on that one, but ones I'm seeing on Reverb are like $700 or so: reverb.grsm.io/JaguarSpecialHH

[@GearGasms]

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

[@stevesuv]

I think that Kay lap steel had an old P13 pick up in it. In LA they go for about what the guy was asking for the whole guitar. Every body wants a COODER caster out here. Those P13s are hard to find,

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.
