Unbelievable Haul From Japan! How Many Guitars Did I Buy?

[@margaretzabinski9977]

What a great journey. Thanks for lugging us along.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

We'll do again sometime soon!

[@lordseph]

11:03 is absolutely gorgeous. The binding really pops on that and just everything about that guitar is wow.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks! It's one of my favorites for sure

[@ThomasFilbert]

Such an awesome trip 🙌

[@Jsmnnly.]

Enjoyed watching your vlog😊. Thats a lot of guitars! Japan guitar surplus its like an amusement center for musicians lol

[@Jsmnnly.]

Damn wish i could have one. Resellers here in the philippines they’re selling it twice maybe thrice the original price 🥲

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks for watching! That's crazy they're that much more in the Philippines 😭

[@danellett9274]

you are living the dream my friend.

[@Trauzzinator]

I can't wait to see those guitars!!!

[@gergemall]

Man I’m glad I found your channel. You have some great look gear in your online store .

[@JewTalkinTaMe]

Can’t wait to see what arrives in a month or two 👀

[@codybechardwatson5619]

Thanks for introducing me to Oaktails.

[@jochemjonker3362]

Buying guitars in Japan,is "a dream", you see Japanese Fenders,you can't imagine that those were build(only for domestic market?) Look out next time for acoustics and archtops. I love Terada's(their highend guitars overclass the quality of the ones they made for Gibson (Orville by Gibson),Epiphone Elitist,Gretsch and Guild.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

For sure! Definitely familiar with a lot of the Japanese manufactured guitars. We'll be going back as soon as possible and be on the lookout for even more stuff on the next trip!

[@elliottnunez1057]

AHA I asked where the pallets came from on the first video I've ever watched of yours . The one I watched ten minutes ago where you unboxed three pallets!! Now I know . Nope, No trip to Japan for me!! Although I'd love to go!! Glad I found these vids!! Pretty cool.

[@elliottnunez1057]

@7:26 I love that Ibanez!!! I couldve bought one just recently extremely cheap but I was minutes too late. Guy needed money and The pawn shops in Florida don't give much. Someone just got to him before I did. 300 bucks was a steal!! Don't think I will have that chance again.

[@1thess523]

I'm 48 yrs old so an 80's kid and Galaga is my all time favorite arcade game 👍

[@creamy991]

The one guitar i want is a white univox hi flier but ill never afford that anyway awesome!!

[@ksharpe10]

I think Eastwood makes a Updated reissue on that.

[@ratwynd]

Konichiwa! Love Japan, Kyoto is my favorite city in the world. Look forward to seeing what you brought back from Aria Pro II maybe with P90's. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Kyoto is super pretty! We didn't make it there on this trip, but have been previously. Should be doing a complete unboxing of everything in the not too distant future!

[@alexbudnick9682]

Too many great finds on this one 🎉

[@s3nseiii929]

do you still have the exact location of this shop in japan sir? thanks!

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Get the game Splatterhouse for your game console..fun crazy horror game..cool music also.

[@googo151]

HONESTLY JEALOUS BROTHER. MY DREAM MISSION TO HEAD BACK TO JAPAN AND PICK UP SOME BEAUTIES. I LIVED THERE IN THE 90'S.

[@philheath9854]

How do you make a Profit when you factor in the Exchange rate , Shipping cost and Import Taxes ?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Good question! The US dollar is stronger than the Yen currently, so that's a big factor. Large shipments also help spread the cost out across several items.

[@philheath9854]

@@aflashfloodofgear I’ll be in Japan in November,can’t wait…

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@philheath9854 enjoy it, you'll have a blast!

[@videomove]

what’s the lovely non guitar schmuzak you guys are playing in your videos? something original by you?

[@smwoutdoorfishingadventures]

Hope he sells some of these wow.

[@jonjones655]

I went to a lot of guitar shows in the 90's and the Japanese were buying all the guitars. I wonder if you guys managed to bring back some of those instruments.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That's so cool! Very high chance some of these were brought over and are now coming back to the US haha

[@danielferreiradossantos5125]

What is this place do you meet this guitars in Japan ?

[@akoskatai6479]

Does anybody know how much is it to ship a guitar from Japan to Europe?

[@jeeeeev]

I wonder how much all of these costs and the shipment to the US.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Get ahead a little with the US dollar being stronger over there currently, but shipping is as expensive as ever unfortunately

[@gerbans23]

By the way whats' the name of guitar store and where is the location? Nice guitars

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Which guitar store are you referring to?

[@alvaroramirez1471]

I will be traveling to Tokyo in October. Please tell me the name of the store.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Which store? Some of our newer Japan videos have some more details

[@univibe23]

So glad Godzilla didn't attack while you guys were there--although that would have been kinda neat. Lots of stories for the kids and grandkids.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Same, but also agreed 😂 We did see the Gundam statue, but not quite as big as Godzilla

[@kenichi407]

it's mindboggling how much vintage american guitars ended up in Japan, and folks like these are "bringing them back".

[@peteytwofinger]

Military Madness best strategy game- availible on pc engine

[@larrybudnick8922]

Wonder if anyone noticed your uniquely American SpaceX Falcon 9 facemask. 😆

[@aflashfloodofgear]

If they didn't notice that they certainly noticed the uniquely American accented "aR-ree-gatoe" 😂

[@alann5003]

How was the food?

[@ryanlorenzo9990]

Wow

[@PemaWangchuk12]

Whoa! The Guitar Expert was in the Orient? Hopefully you've sampled as many unfamiliar(to you, that is) guitars as possible there before you drop another of your ranking/classification duds🤞🏼

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Haha glad you're still around. While we went to a lot of different shops, you'd be surprised to hear that it was mostly "normal" brands. We're gonna have to go back and specifically search out some out of the norm stuff

[@PemaWangchuk12]

Believe me, I wasn't certain initially. You know that feeling you get when you think you've come across someone before, but also wonder if it's merely a déjà vu? So I combed into your channel and indeed you were the very same favourite guitar appraiser of ours. BTW I really appreciate you are cool with the banter, taking it in stride with good humour. Also, I noticed you redid the title to your Magnum Opus, which says a lot about you in my opinion at least. You're alright, man. And, besides, Guitar Shop Owner sounds a lot cooler. Jikai made, sayõnara🤘🏼

[@scottdunn2178]

Guys - can we kill the lawn sprinkler EDM music? I need a Tylenol to watch this video 😬🤯

[@ja5304]

Heading to Japan next February, any chance of sharing your super secret music gear wholesale club brother? 🙏🏽 is this a private warehouse? Invite only? Dealer only?

[@thefilmandmusic]

Love Tokyo

[@zz-.-]

How can US buyers take advantage of weak yen and get cheap guitars shipped??

[@Jsmnnly.]

First ❤

[@aflashfloodofgear]

🙌

[@davidclarke67]

so you fly halfway across the world to buy a bunch of strats. Teles and Les Pauls.....

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Ironic isn't it haha

[@chester777ful]

What no acoustics!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

There are a few that got packed that might not have made it on camera. Generally though it's just kinda tough to get those shipped back in one piece :o

[@ultraryman]

さては仕事と旅行両方楽しんだな？

[@timmcelyea8467]

Did you win the lottery or have a wealthy daddy?

[@928Porscheman]

Is Japan still making people wear masks? I noticed that you had one in public.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

This was back in February. Since April (?) they've lifted just about all restrictions. Was actually just there last week and all was like normal!

[@928Porscheman]

@@aflashfloodofgear I enjoy watching your travels and guitar adventures on KZbin. I am in Deltona FL so I hope to meet you one day at a local event.

[@whodunitpros8555]

Travelog is getting lame ….

[@googo151]

I WANT THAT TELE WITH P90'S. SHINJUKU @ 9:57 SECS. RIGHT?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Teles with P90's are BIG vibe! Shibuya Crossing actually at that timestamp
