Unboxing 3 MORE Pallets of Guitars & Gear from Japan! - Gibson, Fender, & More!

Unexpectedly 3 PALLETS OF GUITARS AND GEAR showed up the other day! Of course we had to tear right into them. Was not expecting how much cool stuff would be on these pallets.
Had some classics like a Gibson SG, Les Paul, Fender Stratocaster, Precision Bass / P Bass and Jazz Basses like always, but also some different things from Tomson, Greco, and such. That's not even getting into the Roland keyboards, Yamaha piano (!!??), and a bunch of other rack effects.
Strap in again as we get into it and let me know your top pick from this haul in the comments!

Great haul - cheers 😎

[@jltrem]

I guess that's why they call it...a flash flood.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

😂😂😂

[@beautifulguitars3158]

George Benson Signature Model GB10 was my favorite.

[@lazrbeam117]

What was in the grover Jackson v bag, so cruios what type of Rhoads was it

[@aflashfloodofgear]

A Grover Jackson Wasn't a Rhodes, put the correct model up in the video: Yamaha CP-80D

[@lazrbeam117]

​@@aflashfloodofgearwould you sell the case alone?

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Takes unboxing video's to a whole new level !

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Maybe just a tad 😅

[@chrisva4268]

Incredible haul! That CP-80 was a huge surprise, love the the sound of them. I soletimes worry that when I finally go to Japan I'll come back with 3 pallets like this and an empty bank account 😅

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Wouldn't be the worst thing ever haha. Set up the CP-80 a couple days ago and it's very nice

[@bobbymatheison]

I’m always like “maaan where’s Thomas?” And then my brain starts working… and remembers that someone has to hold the camera 😂

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Haha I make occasional "guest appearances" -Thomas

[@elliottnunez1057]

I thought it looked like Florida!! How do I GET Big boxes of music gear to buy? Is it like some people buy storage containers full of random stuff, or were they ordered individually and just packed in three crates because you bought so much???

[@jochemjonker3362]

I presume,your one of the biggest dealers to used Japanese guitars and equipement. Guitarwise the Ibanez George Benson GB 10 is the coolest item. But the Yamaha CP-80 electric Grand Piano is an alltime favorit.So many great songs,played in studio and live,on this piano:U2's Newyears Day,Mike Oldfield's Tubalar Bells and still in use,with many other bands and artists.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Maybe not one of the biggest but we have to be up there Some cool facts about the CP-80 though, thanks!

[@BlueberryStinkFinger62]

When you show more Epiphones I'll pay more attention to your channel until then No...many like myself are sick of seeing Gibsons

[@jimgray774]

Hey guitar man,great shows I do say myself,I subscribed to help you out,and myself,I like the tidbits u through out to us,thank you,u seem to no ur shit,my walls are full at the moment but I'll have to look you up when I'm out ur way and stop in and buy a guitar of you,maybe get it signed by everyone in the shop for a wall hanger,conversation piece,hope to meet you some day bro,jim from maine

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks for watching and supporting, really appreciate it! Give us a heads up whenever you're ready!

[@russellzauner]

How many times I've come *this close* to just hiring someone to bring a container back...I love what they call garbage! Their standards are too high but then again we wouldn't get great guitars in the first place if they weren't.

[@Mikeyorkmusic]

That’s a great hall. Made me feel old though, especially when you were pulling the multi track cassette recorders out. In the 90s all of those different versions of 4 tracks and especially that Tascam 488 8 track were how we made tracks outside of the studio. Oh and that Yamaha at the end with the 20(?) pin plug is the controller for an FM synth sound module, can’t remember which model. I might have one somewhere, couldn’t be that good though as it’ll be in the back of a cupboard.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thanks for the info!

[@peekaboo4390]

WOW.

No Rickenbacker’s? My favorite is 4003 Fireglo. 2nd Fender Jazz bass 3rd Fender P-Bass. Glad I found your channel and online store. Might see my orders coming thru in 2024.

watching "humans" that never played outside or built tree forts "work" is a peculiar annoyance

[@colinwhite1997]

“Human” kids just don’t wanna work these days

[@ThomasFilbert]

You're right, I didn't build a tree fort as a kid, I built a damn TREE HOUSE only accessible via rope ladder. We're not even gonna get into the specifics I've built as an adult now from hand crafted furniture to motorcycles to building out a whole warehouse. Goes for all of us. You're talking to born and raised Floridians, get outta here with your ignorant comment.

[@alexbudnick9682]

So many fresh find in this one!

"I was on tour"...lol. Who were you 'touring' with? What label? This is exactly what Guitar Center mall employees claim often. Bars are not tours...fyi.

I had never heard of Greco in my life until youtube automatically showed me this video of people unpacking stuff and saying "Greco" over and over. 😅

[@aflashfloodofgear]

The algorithm said you needed to know 😂 For real though, they're worth checking out

[@mikedeuce13]

Guys, love the content. It would be sweet if you did a couple videos a week where you picked a couple guitars you have and actually play them ala’ Normans Rare Guitars. It serves two purposes….we get to hear them, which could create more interest in purchasing one, and you have a reason to create more content for your channel when you have the time.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

We hear you! Not sure if you could really tell in the video, but we just do not have the room at our current location to be doing that unfortunately. Once we move to the new location and have a proper studio setup we can more easily show the guitars AND play them. It's just not an option right now. We definitely plan to scale up the amount of content we're putting out though

[@AlexTapisevic]

3 unexpected pallets, we didn't expect to see so many cool stuff, you say all this like you didn't buy anything of it

[@aflashfloodofgear]

The deal was made on this stuff so long ago, and some of it we didn’t get a chance to check out in person until it arrived, we also didn’t get tracking, and the ETA was set for about a month later so all in all it was just as unexpected for us!

[@shuster1921]

We're going to need a bigger boat🍻

[@benjimenez7702]

so a Japanese music store gave you guys (and other stores) 3 boxes of free equipment?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I certainly wish it was free, this was a culmination of a few different wholesale deals, and some handpicked stuff shipped together.

[@Dam0n11]

Hipsters

[@aflashfloodofgear]

We're so hipster even the hipsters don't like us

[@chriss2452]

So is it all japanese made instruments or are you "buying it back"?

It's a mix of things sourced from Japan

This whole deal is crazy cool!

Where in Fl?? I live in Edgewater and would like to visit your shop.

[@frankperricone2065]

Where did you guys get this stuff. For the last 3 years all i have been doing and buying Japanese instruments. After i had a Westbury Standard for 35 years, bought it off a friend of mine for $75. He was getting his first Gibson LP. All i new was it was a great double cut, set neck great sounding pups. And i bought an 83 BC Rich Bitch with original case, mint. For a $150 from a thrift store. 3 years ago i was trying to find out what they were worth and found out that i had a 1980 Westbury made at the Matsumoku factoy in Japan and were nicked name the LP killer. Stock Dimarzio super distortion pups. The BC Rich was a N.J. series made at the Nagoya factory in Japan. Now i have a Westbury Track I bass, Aria Pro II 85 Night Warrior, CT series, zz deluxe, a zz bass, Westone Concord bass, early to mid 80's Kramer Focus 7000 and one i never heard of a Sango short scall bass that looks exactly like a Gibson EB-3, very close in quality of a Gibson, I know because i have a 66 Gibson EB-0.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Sounds like you've found quite the array of cool Japanese guitars. It's nice to see someone else that's passionate about them!

[@frankperricone2065]

@@aflashfloodofgear I sure wish I could find one of those Greco LP's. I saw a late 70's Tobacco burst Aria Pro II LP's but the guy wanted to much. The price he was asking was OK for a Greco but not the Aria, I think the Greco, Fernandez and even Ibanez are the better Japanese guitars.

[@frankperricone2065]

@@aflashfloodofgear I wish I new about the quality of these instruments in the 90's, when I was coming up in the late 70's-80's. If it came from Japan at those times my crowd of musician friends thought they were junk, we did not even try them. If it did not see Gibson, Fender, Guild or Gretch on the headstock it was junk. I think because in the 60s most of them were junk. In the 90's and early 2000's I bet they were cheap as hell. Now you see Grecos, Fernandez, Westones, Aria's, and many others going for more money because ppl are getting hip and getting less headstock snobby. Yesterday got a Sango EB-0 with a mini Humbuckers like an EB-3 and it's almost as good as my 66 Gibson EB-0, got lucky, very good condition $200.
