Unveiling the FIRST Bradenton Guitar Show Experience

[@MelodyCarroll-rx8tk]

I always love your videos. I watch every minute of them, every time!

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Thank you so much for coming back again and again😄

[@Kazwell111]

I have just discovered this channel, I am very impressed. Great vibe, great editing music and of course the guitars and musical instruments. I watch a lot of music related shows on KZbin, I really think you are on to something big. Seriously wowed.

[@gregdavis4028]

The '68 Tele was definitely my favorite guitar at the show. I didn't play it because I didn't want to fall in love w it. My guitar collection is up to 17 and that seems a bit much for one guy. BTW, don't know if you remember the '74 Dove I got from you in Sarasota. I had a couple of tweaks done to it and it sounds and plays fantastic now. Love that guitar!

[@GROCK619]

Thanks again !! Cheers

@@randysguitarattic Yess see you soon!!

[@Scottie-bg8hy]

Show ain't a show without Flash Flood! It was great to see all the other dealers, they were so happy to see you, a real community. Alex, were you tempted to buy the telecaster with the Bigsby?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Yes for sure! Rick who was selling it is great too, so it was tough to turn down!

[@siwray3278]

We went there on Saturday the 21st but we came early and left around noon. It was very nice.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Heck yeah, glad you enjoyed it!!

[@tylerk8692]

Yo that’s me in the beggining of the video when you say “you have actual customers”

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Haha!! That’s awesome!

[@Nugmania1]

Love to check out the channel, I live vicariously through your adventures lol. I’m still looking for a 5 string Schecter California Jazz, limited production number, made only in 2006, when your on Guitar Safari if you find one, it will instantly sold. Thanks Ric

[@sealedgravy3702]

As a Hondo II and Firefly owner, I wasn't too keen on the cracks made at 5:22------The Big Boys have made a lot of dogs over the decades too----No Headstock Snobs! LOL!

[@markmclaughlin1632]

Honestly mate i watch your stuff I'm a retired teacher and I think you will be the next norms rg good luck 👍 and enjoy

[@ST-xg3gy]

Love that Custom. I will be looking for that one on the website. Will it be up there soon?

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@ST-xg3gy Yes! You will see it there around Tuesday!

[@russellzauner]

Pierre from Kadinja/Novelists also has a sig model Vola, a tele style in both 6 and 7 string.

[@ralph_clay]

Funny, he mentioned Tom Anderson. I worked there for 10 years.

[@donh01965]

I don't play guitar but I love the videos

[@BlackFin2Na]

I couldn't make it Saturday so I showed up about 1pm on Sunday, some dealers were already gone and a couple were packing up

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Bummer! Hope you still got to see some cool stuff!

[@zach21197]

If you guys are ever in the Cincinnati area come check out Mike's music, the music shoppe, and third rock music shop! Super rad shops and Mike's has some killer vintage stuff.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

Will do! Hopefully we will end up there one of these days!

[@zach21197]

@@aflashfloodofgear possibly with a secret keeper or conversation piece show? 🙏

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@zach21197 with any luck! Hopefully sometime in 2025 😊

[@Jeremya74]

That vola root beer was my fav....and Carrabaas has killer bread..and food

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@Jeremya74 heck yeah!!!

[@russellzauner]

Place here called the Cameo Cafe makes their own bread, called "Strong Bread" and it's great - you can even buy a loaf to take home!

[@707Berto]

Went to the Seattle area guitar show on the 17th. 140 vendors and about 150 paid entrants...

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@707Berto That doesn’t sound like a great ratio lol

[@jochemjonker3362]

That's a sad fact.

[@Adamantiummonke]

YES YES YES, wake up and flash flood of gear has a new video, thats it everything stops for the next 20 min people, dont bother me im watching my fav guitar channel.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

That’s so awesome, we really appreciate it I do the same thing for my favorite channels!

[@pogguitars2926]

What year was the sonic blue jazzmaster at 10:22??

[@mikeolson4645]

I live in Bradenton .. WHY WAS THIS NOT ADVERTISED?? I would have rolled in with 8-10 from my collection to make people drool ;)

[@ImStuckInStockton]

Outback's bread is unique and underrated for sure. Olive Garden breadstick obviously. Idk if this counts but KFC biscuit? Might be #1 if eligible.

[@aflashfloodofgear]

The KFC biscuit is unfortunately neither free or endless so it is exempt however is does get my seal of approval!! We have a running bit about Olive Garden at the shop, I (Alex) think I’m the only one who actually likes it 😂

[@todd8109]

Alex you said G&L is a great value. Does that stand for their Indonesian made Telecaster’s

[@aflashfloodofgear]

I was mainly referring to the USA stuff as it isn’t crazy expensive for what it is, but in the same sense their import lines as an incredible value within that price class!

[@todd8109]

Awesome thanks so much. I have a seller near me who with a telecaster for $350 that was never used

[@robt6127]

I feel like you get more attention when you're not competing as a vendor haha

[@patmayer7222]

Is the Gibson v2,...the same as Judas priest used on the sentinel vid,so long ago??,,,, it was a small size V !!

[@lazyboyandtherockers8050]

I'm kind of angry. I would have gone to this show. It wasn't advertised. I've been a Vintage Guitar Dealer for over 30 years, "Lazy Boy Vintage". I've done every Florida show until I severely injured my back five years ago. I was at the Sarasota Show and now I missed this one. I can no longer do a booth but I still try to go for at least one day. Why aren't these shows being advertised? I met you at the Sarasota Show, you probably don't remember but I was driving a scooter and broke several pieces..

[@aflashfloodofgear]

So sorry you didn’t hear about this one! I actually believe I do remember seeing you in Sarasota, you had a bunch of amps right? Thanks again for stopping by at that show!

[@lazyboyandtherockers8050]

Ya, that was me. My buddy was pulling my amps in a cart for me, I drove my scooter. I know it's not your fault but they really need to advertise these shows better. I have a pretty good following on Facebook and I always post Guitar Shows. I don't gig anymore because of my injury but I still have people follow me because I was a Dealer and my old band. I'd like to get the word out for Guitar Shows. The only one I know of coming up in the Orlando Show. I enjoy your videos, take care Alex.

[@brentsalassi5245]

Agreed. I went to the Sarasota show, but had no idea about this one. I didn’t see it advertised anywhere.

[@aroe3896]

did i see a turquoise trini lopez in the background at about the 12 minute mark?

[@guitarzan2626]

I like Randy, not my style of collecting, but he is cool.

[@umrmech84]

My '63 Strat scoffs at your CBS era neck preference. I have a bunch of Strats and it has the best neck I've ever found. By far.

[@davidyeager8524]

Wow. You were brilliant not to participate in this show! Very disappointing. It’s not loud because there’s no one there!

[@donaldbutcher1260]

Very poor marketing, I had no idea that this event was even happening. Next time let a brother know! 😮

[@aflashfloodofgear]

@@donaldbutcher1260 you'll have to talk to the show runners about that 😅
