Cool stories, thanks for sharing!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

cheers!!

[@Edward1312]

Whoever sold you that LG2 for $150 needs firing because they are an incompetent fool of an employee!

[@darrellkelly7614]

I'm interested in your Greco and or Tolkai collection/ inventory. It's always struck me as high quality at reasonable prices. Is it the same with you?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

There are definitely some lower end ones for both, but for the most part Tokai and Greco do hit that high quality, reasonable price bracket very well

[@richfiryn]

My best guitar deal of all time was in 1980 when I scored a pair of 1968 sunburst Strats to cover a bet in a poker game that I won.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's a good one 😎

[@timothypotter2137]

#1 is #1 for a good reason. But the turn of the DA was certainly a close second.

[@CraigBrehm]

I'm really enjoying your videos. You have some great finds, and a (very welcomed) different approach to the guitar-tuber content in my feed.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Appreciate that!

[@michaelr.4878]

Exactly. Well said. Their approach to these videos is perfect. When I click on a guitar video, I don't want to watch a youtubers noodling for 10 minutes. I want to hear 'about' the guitar...not 'hear' the guitar.

[@jltrem]

Congrats on that strat. A beauty.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks!

[@jimgray774]

Bro I love that pink strat,killer piece,wish I had that one,my favorite color,jim from maine

[@rogercardenas111]

Amazing collection in the background. 🤓😷🤘🎶🎼🎸🔉🎸🔉💲💲💲💲💲💲💲 The pink strat is a keeper.

[@rrdee8138]

Definitely the gibson for 150. Another excellent video. Thx and have a great weekend

[@deanlaster1724]

Definitely the Gibson LG2 because of the price. But the Strat is pretty cool also.

[@Edward1312]

How much did you end up paying for the Pink Fender Strat?

[@elekibuumu]

#5 deal was very likely stolen gear, given how fishy it went...

[@bradleyl477]

Great stories and you’re a natural in doing these videos. Makes me wanna go on endless Goodwill and pawn shop runs! 😂

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks! You never know what you might find out there 😂

[@stevenpipes1555]

I found a Schecter C1 FRS at a yardsale. Trans black over quilt, cabon fiber binding, Sustaniac, EMG, Floyd Rose, Grovers, hard-shell case. Got it for 250 bucks! I also found a Silvertone Catalina, blue and white, at another yardsale for 75 bucks!

[@stevemercure902]

Your Prince of Africa guitar is a fun story, thanks for sharing.

[@jonjones655]

The $150.00 for the Gibson and the Strat...whoa!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Doubt that'll ever happen again haha

[@mikedavis3841]

I bought a 1986 Les Paul custom Black beauty back in the 90s had it for 3 years got it under a blacklight it's got a black light tattoo of a lipstick blot on the back Paid$1000

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Now that it is interesting

[@luisantolafrancis519]

You should keep that pink lady forever.. great stories.

[@Tyrannosaurine]

I bought a Gibson SG-X from a dude I went to high school with for $150 around 1998-1999. Still have it.

[@benlogan430]

I once got two packs of bagels for the price of one!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Hey we back a good bagel purchase!

[@HerbonGuitar]

Great vid, that Shell pink Strat is killer, 2020 beginning of pandemic, I found an early 1963 Les Paul junior, stripped to bare wood with all the parts, and it had a 72 embossed Gibson humbucker, for $150, I still chase that high everyday…

[@aflashfloodofgear]

What a find!!

[@TristanYeah]

Oh man, that pink Strat is a beaut! Late to the party here but I think my best deal so far was getting a Kramer 450G with original case from a guy on Gumtree (UK version of Craigslist) for £270 (about $300)

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's a great deal!

[@JewTalkinTaMe]

The strat story is so crazy 😅😂

[@freelancevt]

Just wondering, do you take the time to run the numbers to know if the pieces are stolen? Some of the transactions seem a bit too 'good' to be straight & legit deals.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Learned that lesson the hard way a long time ago

[@freelancevt]

@@aflashfloodofgear It stinks that we have to think that way... doesn't it?!

[@jorgesilva6454]

Need a Strat from Ghana like yours 😊🎉😊

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Might be easier to just get one from Japan instead haha

[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

That strat story was crazy and that's a sweet guitar you have awesome find

[@aflashfloodofgear]

It was wild! Thanks, probably one of the better feeling strats I've ever played surprisingly

[@billavonda1604]

Very cool video! where are you located in central FL?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Right now we're getting ready to move, so inventory is split between two spots. But we're from the Orlando and Space Coast areas

[@alkan1888]

Scored a one year only 1963 Danelectro Pro for $150, easily the best deal in my small herd. 2nd would be a 1971 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, all original except changed witch hats. Stole that one a few months ago go for $2400. The guitar gods can sometimes be very generous! Thanks for your awesome videos.

[@khelom]

I bought my 1964 jazzbass (sunburst) 1500 euros to a grandpa who bought it in N.Y in early 70's and never played it because he did not love it at all , he prefered his italian knockoff bass . It was in 2002. There is very few of these intruments in France, where I am from, and furthermore in very very good condition.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's so interesting. Sounds like you got the better deal in the end!

[@khelom]

@@aflashfloodofgear not for bragging , just to share ! Thé grandpa knew this was a very rare instrument but liked that I was a pro musician not a collection guy Its important to find THE instrument, YOUR instrument, and sometimes you Wonder if it finds you more than you find it Thanks for thé vidéo !

[@delespine]

Crazy stories. Love that.

[@Trauzzinator]

That African story was really crazy!!! I would have never gone through with getting a guitar from some random guy over the internet!!! I guess there are just cool genuine people out there just giving away guitars!!!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Some faith in humanity restored for sure!

[@01157ify]

All crazy and interesting stories.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Chender pink Strat.

[@ubermenschstream6765]

[@aflashfloodofgear]

[@philheath9854]

Pink Strat is too good a Guitar and Story to ever let go.

[@curtisc9350]

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks!

[@wilhelmrogue1]

Good stories,that strat is a keeper

[@ianmartens5286]

That Strat tho

[@toddjanney]

I bought a 1963 Sears Silverstone amp and n case for $20:00 in 1983, still have it ....... Plays great !

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's crazy!

[@rogerhunkapillar7171]

That was my first guitar. I regret it to this day smashing it at the end of my first gig to be “Rock & Roll”. Stupid

[@daveduffy2823]

The pink Strat passes the Gibson by a mile.
