Guitar Hunting in Nashville: Carter Vintage, Gibson Garage, and More!

[@Arsene.Arteta]

This Mike McCready thing needs to be addressed in the next video.

[@bldallas]

Wow, you don’t know who Mike McCready is. Damn, I’m old.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I know Pearl Jam courtesy of Guitar Hero just didn't know every band members's name 😅

[@bldallas]

@@aflashfloodofgear no worries, I am old. Your Guitar Hero reference cracked me up. If you want to watch an interesting guitar focused YT show, check out Chris Shiflett’s “Shredding with Shifty” episode with Mike McCready. Chris one if the guitarists in the Foo Fighters and he does an awesome job with that show. I catch it when Premier Guitar reposts it on their YT channel.

[@Utube-s8m]

@@bldallasyou don’t have to be old to know that. Pearl Jam are not elderly.

[@MrUltraworld]

That cracked me up too.

[@jcal2115]

[@mcdingus5081]

Mike McCready is one of the guitarists from Pearl Jam, FYI.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Yes! We starting talking about that off camera!

[@cameronjonesmusic]

😂😂😂😂

[@JP-cf5qc]

Really?? How young are you...

[@seeyouinhale2317]

No, it’s not Mindy’s brother.

[@shable1436]

He also played with Lane Staley (Alice in chains) in mad season

[@antipsychosoup6709]

I had to stop watching after he said he didn't know who Mike McCready is. I just can't condone that.

[@moonelfcosmo]

Pearl Jam used to be cool…. 😢

[@archieguitarz4700]

What caught my eye was that '73-'74 sunburst Strat you breezed by.

[@chrisva4268]

Need to get myself back to Nashville soon, new Carter location looks great. Did they take the Orville Gibson made early mandolins and guitars off display at the Gibson Garage?

[@U_ever]

New to your channel but really enjoyed the vid. I was moved by the Gibson Korina bodied Moderne at Carters (@12:18) an saw scads of amps to drag home.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Nice! Thank you so much for watching!!

[@watcherzero000]

My favorite place in Nashville to get gear is Paragon Mills Pawn on Nolensville Road.

[@CGlover113]

Yo! That was my pink novo you picked up at Carter! I got excited. Thought you might like my 61 jazzmaster in the same shop, but the Novo will suffice! It’s killer. Love this type of video

[@frishdaw]

RIP Sam Ash

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Super bummed to hear the news! Played my first Gibson at a Sam Ash store in Orlando

[@NoMoreMrNice]

Why couldn’t it have been Guitar Center instead?!

[@johnsauer9067]

Good thing for my wallet that I didn't know about some of these shops when I was in Nashville.

[@Keithphotorama]

I think of Nashville as a town flooded with gifted guitar players which makes me wonder how there could be any good guitars left over for the average Joe?

[@nicolasbeaudry6158]

This episodes was for me by far your best one. Gibson garage is absolutely the bomb 💣. My bucket list store for sure. Keep the good work going 🏆❤️

[@aroe3896]

@ Rumble Seat, what was that 335 style guitar with diamond holes, instead of f-holes? I know it wasn't my dream guitar Trini Lopez because it had a conventional head stock. And two more at Gibson Garage! Those blue and black Les Paul's looked sweet too. Once a year I'd like to see a compilation, something like April Archtop fest for July Jazzbox jubilee

[@JohnDuffy-m5h]

I really love those Gibson sg guitars which they are my top best guitars that I ever played in my life.

[@spokes28]

Did you get to Drummers World on S. Church in Murfreesboro? They have usually have some used gear.

[@Beakphoto]

Interesting bits that denote our current era and generational touch-stones: doesn't know McCready but when referencing perfect pitch references Beato. (Beato who would know McCready). Love these videos. Keep them coming.

[@larryburwell8550]

go in gruhn guitar shop and buy my 59 stratocaster. been in my family since early 60s

[@wilhelmrogue1]

What a fantastic video, you guys are getting good at this…KEEP THEM COMING!!

[@jamessator5564]

I seen a friend of mine when you were at the Garage, Shane Rivers coming and going into the Custom Shop room!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That’s awesome, small world!

[@stevemercure902]

I loved the '58 reissue that you played. Judging from your reaction, I guess that I do not want to know the price.

[@andypendley3876]

Did you get a case with the Fender Lead II? I have one.

[@sumed]

Cool video...have to ask, what is that sweet jacket you're wearing?

[@BluesBlastMagazine]

So you are in Nashville and did not stop at Gruhn Guitars? You missed lots of cool guitars!

[@NoMoreMrNice]

How was the traffic around Nashville?

[@tomaslopez2940]

6:40 Y’all usually have too many Fenders and Gibsons, but I do love the colors on that Lead II…

[@JewTalkinTaMe]

So many beautiful shops in this one😍

[@aflashfloodofgear]

A great day 🙌

[@FrankEspinoza115]

11:06 is that Mike Bloomfield’s tele?

[@allstopblue5717]

Those tweaker amps aren’t bad to be honest. I had a head version and quite liked it. On another note I was born in 1985 and I 100% know who Mike McCready is. Haha

[@camwinston5248]

First few in..walks by pawnshop and i figured for sure they had found another Bose wave radio..😁🤣🤣🤣

[@aflashfloodofgear]

HAHA YES! wish we found one this time around!

[@camwinston5248]

@@aflashfloodofgear 😂..I wouldn't mind having one myself..I enjoy your channel fellas..much success to you all..I'm going to subscribe.

[@chip308]

I love chilling and watching these vids 😀

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

That red vintage esquire was insane! Mojo for days!

[@ianhoyle8459]

The 58RE Junior sounded nice and bright, they are expensive in the UK.

[@rustymohican8280]

Have you tried a 2001 Peter Frampton Custom Shop? I love mine. The Richlite fingerboard is so fast : )

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I haven’t yet!

[@EmpathicRebel-mn8ee]

Big fan of 64, 68 and 69 strats.

[@ianhoyle8459]

..and some amazing guitar stores in the neighbourhood!

[@hunter8turkey1]

Wow so many shops with huge inventory. Oh by the way I’m Albert from Facebook.

[@GROCK619]

Some sweet gear we saw !!

[@Rikamortis6stringer]

Really enjoying your channel. Hey Alex that white Explorer you had at the beginning that thing was sick. Of course all the guitars at the Gibson garage are way out of my price range but not out of my taste range😂. Great video as always look forward to the next one thank you

[@russellzauner]

Honestly, for the markup on j customs here in the USA, next trip to Japan I would go full profit mode and find as many rock bottom prices on j customs as possible, bring back as many as one can carry of them, walk away with a nice 100% markup back home, go back to Japan and buy all the expensive stuff I couldn't afford last time.

[@edgarmcbee2474]

Concert Music is my favorite store

[@bldallas]

You’ve gotta check out Gruhns, while you’re there.

[@palm444]

The Gibson Theodore as pretty cool!

[@11000038]

How can you choose from all those?

[@patmayer7222]

What was the Mike McCready strat $$,,,???? Please reply.❤

[@Trauzzinator]

Damn!!! I missed you guys by a week!!!

[@blakewilkerson9695]

Yoooo did anyone notice the tire on the black Range Rover ??? Literally looks like the wheel is touching the curb lol 😂 0:01

Favorite part was watching Alex drool over the guitar train.

DC is sick - how much was it?

[@BossHossStudios]

What was your intro song?

[@ZenoIV]

Spotted a moderne. Fantastic shape. Shame about the head stock.😎

[@antoncentko6651]

A 73 explorer? Gibson didn't re release them until 76

[@imayad]

I like that SG in Blue 👍

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Yessss

The guitar player's curse: "I love this, that's the problem."

The Mike McReady strat is bad ass!!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Yes!!!

[@CarlBWood]

Never thought I'd be that guy, but I did cringe a little when you said you didn't know who MM was. And I don't even listen to PJ. *edit - I still gave a thumbs up. Thanks for the tour!

[@nolanmarshall3212]

What’s the ID on that Les Paul @ 16:43?

[@ST-xg3gy]

12:19, 3 guitars down. What on earth was that guitar with the wild headstock?🤷

[@frayed3nds]

Looks like the Moderne. I cant get jiggy with that one

[@curtmillermusic1929]

The elevator music is about to run me off

[@ToddTheJoker]

Pretty sure all Fender Lead IIs are hardtail unless someone has had them routed for a tremolo!

[@T.TEXAS.TILLER]

Hotel cookie for the win. carters seems rad.

[@kenichi407]

don't you find it difficult to find any good deals these days to "arbitrage" as a dealer/reseller? i mean, with the advent of the internet, most sellers sort of know the going rate of their guitars. margins must be quite thin taking into consideration cost of carry, repairs, shipping, etc.

[@bl00dy1ng]

Fuck yeah king park what a riff

[@JackPeters-g5z]

Whats a Mcready?

[@MikeDragonborn]

I like your honest opinions, there's something for everyone out there but it doesn't all gotta be your thing

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I appreciate that, thank you so much!

[@christiangibbs391]

Jimi Hendrix? 🤔 Who? 🤨 Oh yeah, wasn't he was the drummer in Led Zeppelin 😅 Led Zeppelin? 🤔 Pearl Jam took them out on their First Support Tour in 2005/2006 way back in the old "Free Love Hippie Days". That's actually where Mum & Dad met, before they had me." 😂

[@aflashfloodofgear]

No no Jimi Hendrix played drums for Steely Dan everyone knows that!! They debuted with The Doobie Brothers supporting Ronnie Montrose on his first solo tour 🙄

[@TheLynik]

Lots of material for an excing video there. Unfortunately it's all going way too fast so that we don't really get to the the guitars or get to know much about them. Just too bad.

ok im officially and old man if i know who Mike McCready is. lol

Should have checked out lane music

[@allstopblue5717]

So happy to follow a channel that doesn’t constantly bash on Gibson like all the the others do

Alex, I might have to unsubscribe after that McCready comment..

[@allstopblue5717]

That blew my mind as well. Haha

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I know Pearl Jam just didn't know every members's name 🤷‍♂️😭

I’m not subscribing just for that. You run a guitar channel know ur guitarists. Geez.

@@aflashfloodofgear Followup video with you playing yellow ledbetter and all will be forgiven bro.

I got the mexican mccready stratocaster. Fantastic guitar, but mccready is one of the most overrated players!

[@SixStringSicario]

Doesn’t know who Mike mcready. Probably has heard his playing a million times.

[@rexmasters1541]

LOL back in the 80s Gibson guitar not the hot thing. I bought so many crazy Les Pauls for cheap 1959 Les Paul Custom for $125 bucks. I paid $6K for a 1960 Les Paul standard in 1986. Can't remember what I paid for my 1964 SG special like $2,200 bucks. Now days there are worth a fortune. If you come into my studio you can play them.

[@jamesjudd6577]

ha I loved you dont know who mike mcready is. saw them live 2 years ago in Nashville and the guitar was too loud and harsh.

[@colinpadley1897]

Considering your dealers, why try guitars wearing a jacket with a zip? Take it off!

[@bartboop]

You don’t know the guitar players in Pearl Jam? How about Taylor Swift or Lizzo?

[@zoomzoom3950]

I know who Mike McCready is, but really don't care. He's no Allan Holdsworth. 😁

[@drewhenry9564]

Pearl Jam , Madseason! Wtf bro
