Description:
Well... we did it. I finally completed trade Tuesday season 2 by trading from a low-end Glarry Acoustic Guitar to a limited edition Custom Shop '58 Reissue Stratocaster. I find it funny, because season 1 ended with a '58 Reissue Les Paul and I didn't plan for that to happen this time! I hope this inspires you to give trading a try to get to your dream instrument!

[@hibernative]

@Mailroom Clerk As soon as I saw his claim to trade the EMGs for an LTD I knew he was either supported or paid out of his own pocket.

[@anthonystark5412]

@Mailroom Clerk Are you feeling a little salty because nobody on Reverb has ever fallen for one of your grifts? I've just done a quick search on Ebay and found a couple of LTD EC-256es going for BIN prices of $250 or less. Meanwhile, brand new Glenn Tipton pickups are selling at $199 from Musician's Friend. This might all be BS, as you claim. But, just how confident are you that Trogly didn't offer these pickups for trade on a forum where Judas Priest is held in higher esteem than an almost entry-level Les Paul copy from LTD?

[@TheHawkdaddy]

If it was this easy to flip a cheap Guitar then everyone would do it. You got help from your fans

[@silverXnoise]

I think the more salient privilege is never being put in a position where the financial resources shouldn’t be allocated elsewhere in one’s life. Much more financial independence and the whole endeavor is kinda pointless, much less and you’d end up buying tires or something instead. A massive fan base of engaged enthusiasts certainly doesn’t hurt, but it didn’t seem like he took any outright advantage of them, or realized a deal any other person couldn’t have achieved with enough time and spare gear. But the reason everyone isn’t doing it is realistically it’s not a very practical way of buying an instrument. It’s more just an interesting challenge for someone who can and wants to. After all, the original “I traded a red paperclip for a house” only had Craigslist-no fan base or KZbin.

[@MrDream-zm1pw]

@@silverXnoise I think he did take advantage though. If you recall, in trade tuesday S1, he traded a cheapish vintage Kent Bass for a Schecter Synester Gates guitar. This was before inflation and those basses were maybe in the 100-$150 tops range on a good day while the Schecter is worth at least double I realize the kid was happy with the trade but maybe something else could've been thrown in to sweeten the deal. Also, Id like to add the the youtube presence certainly helped him. I remember it there is this famous youtuber who turned a coin or a toy into a house and his online presence made this possible. Trading up are definitely possible though! I Traded a 2020 Fender Player Jag that I bought for $450 for a 2006 American Deluxe Strat in Honey Blonde plus $150 on my end this week. Came with a case and in mint condish too. EDIT: Holy crap seeing these prices from back then is crazy!

[@lukekern7444]

that is the most confusing trade process ever lol.

[@robertclarkguitar]

He has got to have some pity trades in there somewhere. Being a channel and all knowing people in the trade. But then again I know I watch locally. I'm waiting for that old lady that has no idea that the guitar her husband had in the closet was not just a fender guitar, but an old simple strat that sat in a case since the 60s. I know they're out there. Hahaha. Just one US strat God, Please ! And yes I'll give a 100 for the 50 bucks asking. Hahahahahaha

[@hkguitar1984]

@@robertclarkguitar Yeah, he needs to get a White Board just to keep track of it all. About finding a vintage guitar. 10 or so years ago, locally where I live (Northern Michigan) a friend of a co-worker purchased a beat up red Stratocaster at a garage sale for $80. He took it to Elderly Music in Lansing and found out it was an all original 1960 Stratocaster. Elderly's Music bought it from him for something like $20K plus a guitar they had in the store. Those kinds of guitars are still out there just waiting to be discovered. Many of us thought he should have shared his good fortune with the lady who sold it to him, he did not though. I won't judge his decision, I only know what I would have done. I would have kept that 1960 Stratocaster and left it at that!

[@robertclarkguitar]

@@hkguitar1984 I would have probably kept it as well. Unless a buyer showed the cash. I am very much the same. If I came into a lot of cash of an after sale I'd contact the owner and advise i had something for them. Just to share the glory. Then press on for more! Indeed many out there. Thanks man!

[@hkguitar1984]

@@robertclarkguitar Glad we're on the same page about good fortune and sharing. Side note about vintage guitars. I've seen many, many, many vintage instruments. What amazes me most about them are the wear patterns and all the crazy strange nicks and dings many have, if only they could tell their story. That would be a good idea for a TV Program! Find something like a vintage guitar or car and try to tell it's complete story from the day it was built to present.

[@robertclarkguitar]

That's a huge part of your ability to make the trades and the sales and make the transition from shit to shine! The average citizen CAN do the trading up, but have to work much harder to make it happen.

[@poasful]

@DizzySuspect how many times have you traded something? Because Austin does deals FOR A LIVING. The guy spends basically his whole day doing this stuff. He's got years and years of experience. Not only you're COMPLETELY ignoring ANY experience needed for this kind of thing, but you're blaming it on his FANBASE. Something the guy earned for having a KZbin Channel for YEARS + posting like FUCKING CRAZY (Daily. not Weekly. DAILY) ps: I don't have a fanbase, and yet I've already traded a pair of Seymour Duncans + some money on a 250W Hughes & Kettner Bass Amp. And the guy was SUPER happy about it.

[@dizzysuspect3367]

Paulo Yamamoto what’re you talking about? I’m just saying the first things he traded he had fans who would easily help him out. Watch the video. My point was that it would be sick to see him trade with complete random people to see the journey. Don’t come in here 10 months later and try to start shit.

[@Justin.Franks]

Not a fan of that color pickguard with that body finish, but that neck is _definitely_ a stunner. I'd replace the pickguard for a black one, and seeing how that looks with the white pickup covers and knobs (it doesn't happen too often, but sometimes the white pickups and knobs on a black guard can look killer). Then replacing the covers and knobs with black ones if the whites don't look good. A black pearl pickguard might even work with the copper finish, even though I generally don't care for the black pearl stuff. Especially if it's a black pearl one that "ranges" in color from black to dark gray, instead of black to white / very light gray.

[@taotuhao5969]

Finding a bargain is so much harder these days. While your trade list is impressive it was certainly made better by generous fans. When I was 19, I bought a rare Marshall 1966 JTM 100 mkIII Super PA Guitar Amp Head out of the classifieds in the newspaper and only paid $150. I was a beginner guitar player and had no idea, about what this thing was worth. Since I was not skilled enough to join a band yet, I traded it towards a Ibanez radius 540r and plus had to pay an additional $200. Well it turns out the the guitar shop owner, (Willcutt Guitars) totally took advantage of my Naivete and knowingly ripped me off. He ended up selling the head for 3K a couple of weeks later and today that head is worth around 7K. My point is today it's much easier to look up the value of something and great deals are hard to find. On the other hand, it's also easier for naive seller's to avoid selling something for too cheap. 30 years later, I still hold a grudge against that Guitar shop.

Yo Trogly! I have been watching for a while now and I can tell you that whatever practicing you have been doing shows.

[@hkguitar1984]

+1 Gregory, he has improved and his demos reflect it too.

[@justindwight5457]

All those late 90s 58 reissues had that same birds eye flame maple necks. Funny thing. Billie Joe Armstrong had two of these in the late 90s as his e tuned guitar and its backup. Both were blue replicas of his blue Fernandes rst 80 57. With a Duncan jb in the bridge position. One of them had a lefty bridge like an S.R.V. strat.

[@youthmanrecords965]

I do very similar trading. Usually I don’t have a outcome goal. I just keep it going until I get really good stuff. Then that thread ends and I begin a new journey. Buy or trade for something cheap and raise the stakes every time until the conclusion. Great channel and great video ! Do some more musical equipment bartering videos please

[@Rooster7six]

I think you've progressed a lot in the past year in your playing. Not that you were bad, I always enjoyed your demos.

[@dr.lyleevans6915]

In high school (2004ish) I traded a guy a squire strat and Fender frontman amp (was basically a $150 package new) for a black 1983 USA strat with maple neck. It was missing the bridge piece for the low E string which was impossible to find but still. People have on that era strat, but they aren’t bad, just different (at least that’s my experience). And I’ve had custom shops

[@tim9430]

Great job! I've done some of that too but never thought of making a video out of it. I went to a yard sale a couple of months ago and ended up buying most of a collection they had in the house (not part of the yard sale). Bought 15 guitars for $11K...all Gibson's, Fender's, Martin's, and a PRS S2 Custom 24. I couldn't afford even one of them at the time (unemployed and less than 100 bucks cash) but I had some gold coins I was saving for emergency money. All of the guitars were mint, un-played & in cases, but several years old (none vintage except for one D18 from 1980). Previous to this I had accumulated 14 pretty good guitars but none as nice as any of these so I took 9 of my 14 older guitars and 11 of the new guitars and sold them to one used guitar store for 10K. It took 18 days of me sending photos and negotiating the price. Then I drove down there with them and after they briefly checked each one we made the deal. I ended up with that 1980 Martin D-18, the 2014 PRS S2 Custom 24, a 2012 Martin OM-1GT, and a 2010 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. Then about a month later I sold another of my my older guitars for $650 so I'm only out $350 and now 10 lesser guitars to get those 4 beauties! I still find it hard to wrap my head around how that all worked out!

[@randomchannel4886]

Sounds like you went to my moms yard sale if i passed away. Told her all the prices incase she ever needs to sell them.

[@tim9430]

@@randomchannel4886 That's a really good thing to do. I'm thinking I'll put a high and low price tag in each case with a brief description. Actually though, the seller did ok for a fast sale considering all but one of the guitars were made in 2010 or newer...not new but not vintage either. The store he bought them from only offered 65% of USED price on reverb...even though they were mint! Thanks for enduring my lengthy story. It might sound like bragging but I didn't earn it. I see it as a 3-party gift, hopefully blessing all who were involved. Peace!

José Henrique yes. The 59 is a Nice guitar But the head stock of that three on each side tuning pegs cause a lot of binding problems on the nut and the head stock on Gibson’s crack a lot easier than other designs. Don’t get me wrong. I like les Paul’s. But it is a design flaw.

Great end of trade series!! I'll miss it. Love your vids and how You 've improved it in last 2 years 👏👏

Great show..just got myself an 89 fender strat pewter

[@timfarnsworth6454]

Good time to get ArtistWorks lessons before Christmas. I think it’s the only time in the year they discount their $279 annual plans to 50% off. I usually get 2 courses for price of one.🎸🤘🏻

[@matthewjohnloren1995]

dang, you are a great trader and a haggler. to some people this would be not as significant but damn being able to pull off deals like that especially with those Les Paul speakers? makes you a great trader in my books! cheers!

[@davidlinehat4657]

that’s cool, baker’s channel is awesome. That sounds like the best part of the trade

[@Joemommas]

Daaamn yo that's smart. I gotta get into trading

[@Krashulka]

I managed to trade a kit tele ( well made ) for an old original hollow body floating tremelo artcore guitar, which I swapped for an old original fender deluxe amp . ! From 160 to at least 800 worth / au dollars. Cheers

Trading is so cool, it's not only cause he has fans guys.. If you know enough people or if you live near a swap meet or something
