[@intheblues]

Hey thanks so much Cole! 😄

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

simply beautiful songs great

[@hutchfromba]

Thanks Shane. Blues On....

[@NickintheStates]

I hadn't had a chance to check out on of these videos until today. I love it! Brilliant concept and I really like the little Shane's giving the thumbs up.

[@NickintheStates]

And now I'm browsing their website. Oh man... this could be trouble.

[@vk3fbab]

there's the video I've been looking for. great work. so much great stuff.

[@colinhenry__]

Everytime your face pop on the screen, I couldn't resist smiling haha. Those reactions are funny. I really love this guitar adventure of yours

[@parkerbilbro3651]

I love this series. It's really interesting and relaxing.

[@JamesJohnson-hb1me]

Wow! So much stuff! I think I would have needed at least 2 days to see everything, thanks!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

that JCM800 was a Zakk Wylde signature head - that thing would sell for several thousand dollars. There was also a Joe Satriani sig Peavey head under that Engl. When you were showing & discussing those Burny Led Pauls, hanging in the background was a sweet cherryburst Yamaha guitar.

[@dalepal]

I’m amazed at the selection at that swap shop store.

[@DiMo28]

Haha, love the lefty sightings. That is a very cool shop!

[@mherrley]

I like that Guitar Search Saturday is on Friday here. Hello from the US. Love the channel Shane.

[@MrMongo321]

Love these "guitar search Saturday's" vids!

[@toddflowers8052]

What an awesome shop ! Thank you for this, I only wish we had a shop like this near me. Keep up the great work Shane !

[@bungy007]

Could camp out in that shop. Fantastic

[@franciscusrico6112]

So many gears, so little money. GAS triggered XD. Thanks Shane! This really made me itch :)

[@jamalabdul2009]

Another great video Shane!!! Love the lefty alert!!!!

[@LEUNN_]

Great series.

[@chegaro1967]

Awesome awesome awesome! Keep up the great work, Shane, your first person "stream of consciousness" narrative is fantastic. I felt like I was in the store seeing everything through your eyes, or alongside you. Keep on Rockin'!

[@DMSProduktions]

Nice 1 Shane, Always wanted to see this shop.

[@Da_Porkchop_Xpress]

fantastic shop. if i get my arse down to melbourne im going there

[@benchan32]

Looks like I'm going to Carlton! Lovin the content and the 4K!

[@leighsaunders3278]

This is my number 1 go to music shop.

[@cliveclive54]

Cool trip Shane! tyvm

[@devbpoll2]

this is one of my favorite stores in melbourne, the guys working in there are helpful and they know their stuff. it can be a little busy on the weekends so you might have to wait a little bit to try out a guitar or an amp but its all worth it. ive bought a guitar, a few pedals and even a big multi-effects board from them. you should check out some of the stores around the swop shop, i think they are all vintage guitar shops and while the prices can be pretty high the guitars they sell are some of the nicest I've seen. Keep up the great work mate! PS. you can tour the shop on google maps, its pretty great

[@SymbolicSplenetic]

I love this video man! Keep em comin' :D

[@heycalamity22]

could you perhaps show the prices of the guitars at times? I find myself wanting to know what sort of deals are on offer. Cheers

[@johnroberts838]

Thanks Shane

[@ivanroberts2447]

I'm a lefty and my number one guitar is a 1989 japanese fender strat had it for twenty or so years now and it's still my number 1.

[@ronross1145]

This is really usefull stuff...

[@rarch1968]

Thanks Shane....at 1:51 a Cioks power supply can be seen, I don't know which model. I don't know if you're aware of these things, but they are a top-notch Danish company. I have a Cioks DC-10 powering my pedal board & its a far more versatile unit than the equivalent Voodoo Labs unit.

[@zd351]

Hey Shane, The Swop Shop just shared this video on Facebook. They must like it.

[@intheblues]

Thanks man! I will check it out. :-) hehe

[@joevanni1512]

Good choice Shane, I love this place

[@joevanni1512]

if you're into Vintage Jap guitars, also try out Found Sound which is just a few doors up from the swop shop.

[@intheblues]

It's on my hit list mate. :-) Stay tuned. Cheers.

[@DMSProduktions]

AND Fretted Instruments is just across the street from Swoppy!

[@nivek29]

no comment on the G&L ASAT Special with the natural finish at 11:35? I have one very similar. Cool guitar with wild pickups! Love these videos! Thanks!

[@stairchong]

hey shane, eastgate music over in kew has a bunch of bogners. love that you're hitting up some good spots in melbourne :)

[@dejct]

Holy crap that is amazing, I wish we had that sort of thing here in New Zealand. The guitar selection here is absolutely shocking...

[@sethride9042]

If I ever find my self down under Im definitely going there

[@StuartCardell]

Let the quest continue!!

[@ww3lstep]

Very cool. Thought I saw a couple of G&Ls pan by quickly, or at least something with what looked just like G&Ls MFD pickups.

[@nicolasmorin4071]

Your guitar search makes me want to visit the local Cash Converter shops again. There is usually junk gear only but I'll have a go next week. I used to have a VC 50 some 15 years ago. A great amp for blues.

[@endurohuntfish8865]

WHAT A SHOP ,MAN

[@Vidfavne]

I like this series, subscribing. But more Cash Converters please :-) That was my favorite place to hunt for stuff when I lived in Australia - more bargains to be found there than in real music stores. And longer videos and more talking about all interesting stuff please! For example, there was one 80's matsumoku that the camera just passed over... Also, please let me know if you find the silver 1986 Kramer Pacer I lost 15 years ago :-)

[@onefatstratcat]

Christ.. that lefty sighting alarm about gave me a heart attack!lol...

[@mikeb7083]

Hahahahaha. The left hand guitar alert cracks me up.

[@jumpingman8160]

damn... some great stuff there.

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

Wish we had a shop like that in the states. There's plenty of small pawn shops that have 4 guitars and 3 amps in them, but that's about it. Pretty sure one of the Ibanez SG models would have come home with me.

[@matt6l6]

At 1:30 I see a Barber B-Custom box on the top shelf...if there's a pedal in there, especially if its a Direct Drive Super Sport, do yourself a favor and at least take the pedal for a test drive. Barber makes amazing stuff.

[@kbkman7742]

greatest store on the planet

[@WombatPage]

That JCM800 was a Zakk Wylde signature amp. Can be hard to find these days

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Cash converters in UK there were a bunch of maybe 6 or 7 Squier telecasters. All for 120 pounds, chinese, Korean and one Japanese silver series tele. One of the best guitars i ever bought ! And i bought a lot !!

[@warpfac101]

The Crate looked like it might of been the 5115, it cranks and the clean channel is very nice. Interested to see what you thought of it.

[@CJ-rf9jm]

I'd love to hang out in a place like that. The used gear places near me are what I call prawn shops (not pawn). About the white mustang amp. I did see a few in a blue / grey colour a couple years ago right after I got my mustang.

[@cawfeedawg]

Never seen a 54 strat reissue with rosewood board xD

[@DMSProduktions]

Maybe a '64?

[@BenDewhirstMusic]

Oh shit yeah, The Swop Shop is my jam!

[@desparrowging2234]

7:07 is that a Rickie or just a Fakenbacker? The tailpiece says knock off, but the pickups look pretty toasty and the pick guard had my hopes up.

[@lucygoosey6318]

wow you could have made a 3 hr video of this store and still not even scratched the surface. nice place Shane how are there prices overall?

[@intheblues]

Hi Lucy, You're right there's lots of great stuff there that's for sure. Prices are mixed. From awesome to too expensive. I think it depends on what the buyer is asking for their item. :-)

[@key1251]

I'm digging the rick 4001 (copy?) at 11:08 on the right. Anyone have any info on that? I would appreciate it greatly

[@EdDanaGuitar]

You realize it's only Friday in Cleveland, Ohio! I'd go nutz in this place!

[@DMSProduktions]

What's high in the middle, & round on both ends?

[@EdDanaGuitar]

oHIo..

[@DMSProduktions]

WHY did your reply get deleted?? You KNOW that old chestnut hey?

[@lexgarnier]

As a fellow lefty I feel for ya mate....

[@danielmcbain8097]

that Genz Benz is the El DIablo, pretty sterile clean channel for a tube amp but , for metal and higher gain stuff like thrash, they are pretty damn awesome

[@ArtDonna84]

Hi Shane, lighting was a bit "dim" BUT LOVED the search! Thanks

[@intheblues]

I'll ask them to get better lighting 😂. Thanks mate.

[@ArtDonna84]

LOL, not necessary, I just found it dim BUT still loved the video as I do all of the ones you've put out for all of us who follow you! Cheers Shane

[@lexgarnier]

Any more episodes coming?

[@victoriatench]

Love these vids, Shane! Do you just have these used gear shops all around you in AU? Or are you traveling a bit to get to them? Maybe I am just not aware yet of what shops are hiding in Orlando, FL, but it really doesn't seem like we have many. And the shops there are here really don't have much selection. :'(

[@wileym]

I have a Genz Benz Black Pearl 30. Wonderful amp. Built like a tank, 30 watt class A with 5 voicings. 30/15/15/7 watt modes. Wonderful tone but heavy. 58 lbs for a 1x12

[@luispt77]

That shop puts any shop in my country to shame.

[@amitsapir2]

11:20 alert!! G&L asat speical!!!

[@moreorlesslikeso]

hi Shane, looks like you've been diggin' into that John Mayer fingerstyle lately...?

[@BoyAditya]

I'm drooling ... there's plenty ibanez lawsuit guitars :O les paul, SG ....

[@Danzigmad]

can I film my guitar shop and you do a review on it? have about three guitar shop near me. (Hertfordshire, England)

[@Joeyd123abc2]

If you ever come down to G-town, check out our cashies stores!

[@zd351]

Ahhh...The Swop Shop. I discovered that place 30 years ago. Unlike the other stores featured on this series, it's a "music only" shop that a lot of serious musos buy and sell gear at. They know what's what and you can always find HEAPS of great gear. The Cash Converters have one or two good things amongst the garbage, but Swoppie's is 95% awesome stuff. Shane could have easily made this a two or three part video without having to pad it out.

[@stirlingarcher2141]

If I was selling a guitar on consignment there I'd definitely make sure it always had a good set of strings on and a nice setup to give it a fighting chance of finding a new home with all that competition. And if it was going to be displayed in the font window I'd also take my sponge and squeegee with litre or two of high grade dish washing liquid to wash down the window with (maybe a shovel to scrape the dirt of the glass first, or even just a turbo driven water blaster). I'd take along a vacuum cleaner if it was going on display with a floor stand. So many guitars ....... sigh ........... so little money.

[@DMSProduktions]

Well you KNOW guitarists DON'T like washing!

[@DoctorMcFarlandStudios]

Benz Benz guitar amps have been around for awhile

[@shfnderrock]

They need to vacuum the shop!! Lol

[@intheblues]

lol yep and give the windows a clean but it's always looked like an abandoned building in there. haha

[@shfnderrock]

Haha classic

[@DMSProduktions]

Typical slovenly musos! Go figure! ;oP

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

54 Reissue strat with a rosewood fingerboard ! Thats a first !

[@Slovy_]

U could have done like me. I was forced to learn to play right handed. And I can't to anything except write left handed. My dad forced it on me. It made my guitar choices easier later in later in life.

[@darrenhunt7838]

Did they have any 80s Washburns?

[@intheblues]

I can’t remember mate. I want to do an updated video here with my good camera so stay tuned ☺️

[@BoyAditya]

holly crap! jcm zakk wylde?!!!!!!

[@jakeisonhere]

I've spent so much money here..

[@jamesmcdonald3798]

Just found your chanel. Love it and sub rt away. This rocks. Cheers from Boston

[@AnarchyAudio]

ooh ibanez musician...

[@ShlomirBareket]

It's tough being a leftie!

[@seamanjive]

Don't over do the gurning mate!

[@intheblues]

I just say it how it is. Some shops rock, some don't. This one does. :-)

[@seamanjive]

intheblues Har Har - it's a pommie expression for pulling faces! I used to live in Sydney, now London. Don't recall any shops like this in Sydney even 20 years ago. Great vids, thx.

[@DMSProduktions]

It's a unique shop, GOOD business model, low over heads, NO business owned stock! ALL consignment!

[@darwinwin3947]

pole

[@earthlydescent]

Those AC50s are terrible.

[@koldpants]

Maybe someone should tell them they spelled swap wrong.

[@DMSProduktions]

Nah! Aussie, ironic spelling
