Fender Guitar Hunting on Reverb | Can I Find a Deal? Ep. 1

[@Trog]

You can shop on Reverb too! reverb.grsm.io/CurrentInventory Not much luck tonight... but I have 20+ guitars waiting for review so I'm not that motivated to buy right now haha. What did you find?

[@the_based_and_trad_protestant]

I saw a jag stang on the thumbnail and I clicked

[@SB-kw6oo]

By far my fav episode

[@kshugart70]

Dave's dropped the Price to $750 on the JagStang

[@davidrosenzweig1380]

I think you should check out a tele custom not the humbucker kind but the bound top 63 style the Japanese fenders are top quality

[@davidrosenzweig1380]

Check this thing out Gibson ES-335 1985 Cherry Red reverb.com/item/18496729-gibson-es-335-1985-cherry-red?

I was WATCHING T H A T

[@PunctualGolem88]

A video on the Tom Delonge Stratocaster would be awesome

[@9372duffy]

Love the tips Trogly. I would never have thought or didn’t know about several of them. Thank you for your continued service to the guitar community. You are a true Champion!!!

[@capresto1]

I'm a simple man, i see jagstang i click

[@DevGallo]

Amen 🙏🏻

[@MJTbreww]

I myself did some reverb hunting a while back, scored a 300aud ‘78 Musicmaster bass. Needs some work, especially those damn tuners, it’s in rough condition but nothing that would affect playability. I gotta say being in Australia, seeing these killer deals hurts because of shipping!

[@DBSG1976]

If the guitar says Fender on the headstock and is finished in Daphne Blue or Surf Green...you are good to go! Fascinating video, I appreciate the inside look into your business.

[@glitchnyrmatrix7296]

'92 or '93 Surf Green American standard strat with matching headstock and mother of pearl pickguard with tuner built in. If you seen it somewhere around Roseburg Oregon or Marysville California please contact me.

[@DBSG1976]

@@glitchnyrmatrix7296 You have excellent taste! I'm on the lookout for a 2006 Daphne Blue Custom Classic Strat with maple neck.

[@SwirkH]

Trogly's lowballing like the guys on Pawn Stars, lol

But without the "let me call a buddy of mine who's a real expert."

[@2007srv]

lol Mr. Rogers of the guitar world lolooollllll

That's because he has bollocks of steel that hang down to his knees! Grandad balls! ;)

[@deathbydeviceable]

That's an insult to the trogly community

[@Djarra]

Those HMT Fenders are good. Although aimed at metal they were more popular with jazz fusion players. Fender picked up on this and did the same guitar with more normal neck and head. Although Izzy used a HMT early on and people, including Duff, have said Slash used it for ‘Sweet Child…’

[@GregTalksGuitars]

I love going to Dave's Guitar Shop. Very cool video. Thanks for letting us into the inner workings of your channel.

[@GuitarOverdrive]

Two notes: I enjoyed the personal intro instead of a static screen. Yay for faces. Secondly, this was a fun episode. I was yelling at the screen on some of these guitars.

[@learical1]

I would love to see a Gibson search like this Fender one!

[@zebdoz333]

As always a great upload and congratulations on your new baby!

[@antt1s]

Really liked this episode! You should definetly make a Gibson related one also. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Finland.

[@gordonpenny1842]

I really enjoyed this episode Trogly, thanks

[@Greg-vd5om]

Great vid!....This is helpful on what to look for and how you arrive at your decision whether to buy, offer, or pass on a listing.....Lets see this for the Gibson.....:)

[@peterdebad1]

A walk in the mind of the master. We are not worthy. 😉🎸 Thanks for the lesson Austin. Have a great weekend!!

[@deadlegs187]

I got a classic player Jag for 600... It's in perfect condition. My first reverb purchase. These tips are brilliant. :)

[@onlywhenprovoked]

I want that Gibson Marauder SO bad but I need to save up for one. Your review sent me down the rabbit hole and its become the next on my list. Specifically the blend knob up top version. Heres to hoping you still have it when my broke ass catches up.

[@noahpauley]

I actually saw Dennis from Fender post about that double neck tele the other day

[@aaronmattis]

What’s his social media

[@peterbollig8035]

I'm hoping for a wylde audio barbarian review. Thanks in advance. Truly appreciate your work. 😊😊

[@tavicotavio]

That blue and white tele is perfect for Jack White's solo shows oh my god

[@Rowe4900candymachine]

The squier super sonic from the vista series is really cool, it's designed to look like an upside down jazzmaster like body and has a strat bridge with double humbuckers. The entire squier vista series was a weird one for fender.

[@haymaker113]

quick tip! : you can middle click (with the wheel) to open links in new tabs. OR three finger click if you're on a trackpad.

[@harryireland1935]

Austin, any collaboration with Robert Baker again in the future? Maybe a series of lessons with him, like you talked about? That'd be really awesome.

[@xoomyboi]

Maybe do a review on a Kurt Cobain mustang or jaguar

[@nihlhinz488]

The thumb nail was Kurts jagstang

[@xoomyboi]

I know it's the thumb nail I'm just suggesting a good guitar

[@davidjanecoaker2974]

The jaguar is incredible

[@clicheguevara5282]

@@davidjanecoaker2974 It really is! I LOVE mine. They sound so unique.

[@TheKurtTribute]

nihl hinz He only played it a handful of times, they’re not very well designed guitars. Which is why for the last tour Kurt almost only played Mustangs.

[@overdrivekill7]

Really enjoyed this video. Would like to see more in this style.

[@irocz1380]

More of these please make it a series

[@zosojstro]

Great episode please make more. Love to get insights on how to purchase a nice guitar on reverb thanks

[@Zapone13]

Good insight into your process! Great episode

[@ZankoGamer92]

Quick tip: to open a link in a new tab you can just click with your mouse wheel instead of right-clicking it (don't know if it works on a mac tho)

[@cdavidlake2]

Fun concept for a video! Good stuff...

[@harper.the.confused]

If you ever get the chance you should check out the aerodynes. Those were neat and the basses are so nice sounding

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

Very enjoyable. More of this would be good. Best of all it takes you less time and no expense.

[@michaelnedoshytko6920]

Keep a look out for the Squier Vista series (made in Japan), the Fender Toronado (orange, graffiti yellow, or pewter). These are very unique and are becoming increasingly rarer over the years.

[@kirkscobey3031]

I've seen a couple Jagstangs for about $600 in pawnshops within the last 6-7 months

[@garyives1218]

MIM Robert Cray signature HT with custom shop PUs?

[@vampeiyre]

I hope you can score a Sonic Blue Jag-Stang. I'd love to hear your take on one of those, I've got a nostalgic soft-spot in my heart for those as they came out when I was in high school and my first close guitar friend had one, though his was in Fiesta Red which I agree with you, I'm not so hot on that color.

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Hahahaha, same here!

[@bnastali]

Good to see you! Buy my 1974 Strat on the green and black zebra background...or aren't vintage guitars on your menu?

[@tristan1581]

The guitar your mouse in on on 11:44 is the one I bought! :)

[@Trog]

Cool - enjoy it!

[@benlopez527]

id love to see some sort of vintage fender on the channel! something other than a 70's strat :P

[@otcmetal1591]

Do you only review Gibson or Fender guitars? Would love to see you review B.C. RICH, ESP, IBANEZ or JACKSON. PRS, even. Or maybe I haven't been around long enough. Love your channel. Keep up the awesome work!!!

[@_danvasco]

That neck on the rarities strat looks amazing

[@dawsonfradin9071]

Dude i dig this video, id love to see more of this series

[@theburn966]

Trogly u should try out one of the black or silver sparkle Eric Clapton signature strats

[@Andriobro]

I’ve also been looking for a jag-stang but if you’re looking for one try to get one that says “Designed by Kurt Cobain” on the back of the headstock not all of the ones I’ve seen say that, I’m not sure if only some had it or if only the 90s models had it but I think it adds to the authenticity

[@robinwaldrop9127]

I had a seafoam green one and sold it regrettably

[@chrisruef9221]

Thanks for the navigation insights!

[@OldRunt]

Regarding veneers on starts. I had a 1991 Strat Ulta with a bookmatched flame maple veneer top and back for about 20 years. On that particular example the sound was really compressed and muted, most likely in my opinion to that particular top and back. It never resonated like a regular one piece Stratocaster. I have avoided veneers on strats and teles ever since. I expect somebody will tell me that they had one and it was great and there was no problem with it but on this guitar it was a problem. Even after replacing all the pickups with Fender Texas special it never really rang out.

[@slipknotshredder666]

I got a 50’s Vintera Strat brand new for 750 on Reverb. Not a bad deal to be fair.

[@rareapple7972]

I really enjoyed this new style of video for some reason. I guess its just nice to watch someone do it instead of myself especially when they have the money to possibly buy something instead of ooing and awing at them Edit: lol

[@wesleyAlan9179]

Haha,yeah

[@chrisgrabowski2678]

Great video! I think many people will learn from this. - ChrisG

[@CommanderOfChicken]

6:35 that electron green tele is kinda rad. Would love to see a sparkle super Sonic though.

[@cafestudiosinc.1702]

I love thinlines, so much easier on my shoulder, and the have killer highs for effects. If you get a chance check out the fender CS Nocaster reissue, they are pretty cool, built to original spec. I think Joe Bonamassa has one and Keith Richards has a '56 tele. I started out on Gibsons and love em, but a light weight fender with a thick neck plays like butter.

[@matobaruna8204]

Could you do please demo of some od Jim Root guitar ? Jazzmaster would be best , or wait for new one which will be released in 2020 . Or do the strat,or even squier tele sounds fun . I really wanna hear your opinion .

[@kennethdon3619]

i got one of those alternate reality powercasters fro 600 recently cos it had the tiniest crack in the finish in the lower cutaway

[@johnhenfrey5936]

Really enjoyed that, shame you couldn’t clinch a deal, never mind there is always tomorrow.

[@suspence25]

I like this. Keep doing this.

[@BrandonDeft]

I got over 20 guitars and im also a tech, I love my Meteora it exceeded my expectations. Also I'm a sucker for surf green.

[@amazingvariable]

Please can you review a Fender HM Strat from the 80s?

[@tomfoolery2082]

I had a starcaster few yrs ago , it was a strat . Not seen the hollow body . Interesting .

[@mattier3030]

You like the oddest fenders I have to say. How about looking at any AVRI Strat?

[@nikolanebulus7259]

I admire your ability to hustle guitars, seems like a fun way to make money.

[@philipbrister]

Why, oh why is the Gibson Chet Atkins SST going for $2.5k now?

[@damagedw]

Interesting and insightful video. Appreciate the way you think. Thanks

[@mlusiak]

Hi Trogly! Just curious, why did you open some offers in incognito mode? Is there some trick here? Very cool video to show your process, thanks!

[@hkguitar1984]

Wow, Austin can spot an Ebony Finger Board almost immediately after seeing it in a small on-line photo!

[@jonathankoelewijn3767]

That fender rarity is gorgeous, what are you talking about?

[@AndrewKuttor]

Lookin.g for a Phantom Guitatworks or Vox Phantom (bass model)

[@poppasteve2976]

Dave's is a beautiful store. I prefer the LaCrosse store, but I haven't been there in a while.

[@RickP654]

I noticed on one of the ads you were scrolling thru, it said "b" stock. What does b stock mean?

[@charlesbolton8471]

Rick Preston B-stock means that it’s new, but not in perfect condition. It’s usually a term used relating to the finish as opposed to an issue with the pickups, electronics, hardware, or playability. Often, the item has been on display in an actual store and it has a ding or minor scratch. Sometimes, Fender, Gibson, or other companies will sell it as B-Stock to their dealers at a discount if Quality Control has rejected it. I know that Gibson did this often in the 70s and Fender has been doing for awhile as well.

[@jeremybradley559]

Man I’d buy a Jagstang if ya found me one. Owned one years ago. Want a red one like this but I’d bet it’s fine.

[@mightyV444]

Before today, I had thought the Jag-Stang was Fender's only Cobain model! :-)) And those Pawn Shop 51's very much look like the original slab Precision bass, just as a guitar.

[@profile1251]

Just put a '65 (post-CBS) Mustang neck on a Squier Classic Vibe mustang body. Is that sacrilege?

[@TheEdgeboi]

That tom delonge strat is a mock up, they should all be hardtails

[@Mega12AX7]

What do you know about the 12 string Les Paul owned by Warren Hayes of Allman Brothers???

[@BurntTapeProductions2016]

If you do trade Tuesday s3 you should get a halo guitars custom guitar

[@MrMikepresley]

Please also do a Gibson Reverb hunt, this is cool!

[@grantcarmody76]

Jag stangs and tom delonge strats are exactly what ive been looking for for the last while please let me buy one from you! haha

[@Hurricane9146]

Grant Carmody there’s a couple Delonge’s on reverb aside from the custom ones

[@AlistairCooperMusic]

Love the vids! Curious... how does The Trog make any margin on these deals once you factor in sales tax?!?!? (...+ shipping).

[@elliejelly8815]

I like playing partscasters, I’m not sure why someone would make one and then sell it though, I made a jazzmaster from parts and it’s thinline and has p90s, love that thing

[@eldritch6871]

Those Jagstangs used to go for $350-550 back when I was in high school in 01

[@francoaranda6499]

I saw a Tom delonge strat for 220 at my local pawn shop

[@johnnytruck2009]

Reverb all day long... Ebay no! I am a professional window shopper..

[@danwilson9530]

I paid $650.00 for my Jag-stang in ‘17 from a G.C. in CA. No case or trem bar, good condition. A factory case was an option, so if it comes in an original factory case that’s a plus, and a value increaser in my opinion. I found a case for mine them some POS stole the guitar and case from me. If I find the thief that possess it, I’m going to break it over his head. : )

[@alanburridge6947]

The Hendrix guitar is a replica of the one he set fire to and smashed at Monterey 1967.

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Scorpion Tele. Suitably unique. One pickup. Set neck.

[@Triston3.6]

Hey so i just bought a gretsch streamliner G2655T Jr. Semi-hollow body and im wondering if you know any good Semi-hollow body cases i could buy?

[@leightnite3056]

Did anyone notice that the Ziricote strats back plate is screwed in all wonky? On a $4900 axe nonetheless!

[@TheKurtTribute]

I wouldn’t personally suggest purchasing a Jag-Stang. When Kurt was collaborating with Fender they never really made it out of the prototype stage, before he passed, and when you play one that fact is painfully obvious. No contours, weird layout, bad features, awkward to play, so on. Kurt’s guitar tech said throughout the years Kurt designed a few guitars, and every single one he loved at first and then realized he left out tons of ideas and features that he ultimately wanted. That being said, due to it being associated with Cobain, they hold their value pretty well. I have a 1996 in Fiesta Red, purchased in around 2013-2014 in a pawn shop for $600.

[@Kabayoth]

Try looking over Heritage guitars comparing them against Gibsons.

[@florevc9168]

Please gets the jag stang soon

[@eduardo0796]

Austin, do a Vintera 70s Strar or an authentic 70s Strat!

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Hey man one question, what’s better, Gibson klusen tuners, or Gibson grovers?

[@Trog]

I like the look of Klusons better... but I've come to terms that Grovers are superior. Klusons break...

[@superaidenproductions1870]

So probly grovers

[@superaidenproductions1870]

The Trogly's Guitar Show thanks for responding man!

[@superaidenproductions1870]

Also are the epiphone les Paul traditional pro 3s good??

[@ezcondition]

the only thing i find on reverb is that their guitars are 50 to 100 dollars more expensive than other places. what's the benefit of shopping on their web-site than?

[@segazora]

the answer is no, i've never found a deal on anything on reverb

[@TheKurtTribute]

The key is to haggle extensively. However you will find the occasional asshole who has the guitar listed for $500 or best offer, you offer $475 and they reply with “$500”. If you don’t want anything less than asking price then DO NOT select that option when creating the listing!!!

[@polaritypictures]

Do one on the Vista Venus.

[@nebbynoo1127]

You should try and low ball some 1980s fender bullets people over charge them massively from £800 to over £1000 when really there worth between £450-£500

[@theanarcho-luthierist2882]

i liked that topographic effect on the belly cut of the zircote strat... to bad no one would ever see it..
