Why We Are A Bad Guitar Shop

The boys describe why we are a bad guitar shop when compared to corporate type big box stores.

[@brandonbeck2396]

One of these days I've got to make the pilgrimage to Casino Guitars

[@terrylawrence1893]

A really fun place with great folks! Make sure you eat at O'Donnell's pub down the street👍

[@richbriggs6053]

I got to get there before they go out of business because they don't want to sell you that high-end guitar they do not like.🤣

[@THEItchybruddah]

Ditto…

[@larrys009]

It's a nice little store. Unfortunately never got to meet these guys when I stopped by.

[@charlesbolton8471]

@@larrys009 Don’t feel bad, I’ve been to Gruhn’s dozens of times and I still haven’t met George. I haven’t been invited upstairs where they keep “the good stuff” either. I’ve even watched sales people tell customers who have admitted to being from out of town that there isn’t anything upstairs except for the repair shop and offices which is a blatant lie. That’s just one of the numerous reasons why I’ve spent thousands of dollars at Carter Vintage down the street and not a penny at Gruhn’s.

[@jameshughes9706]

Bro- i was in Texas last Summer looking at a vintage piece from another shop, and you returned my texts and helped me navigate the purchase. You earned my forever loyalty. That is priceless marketing

[@_rafael_b]

Hi guys! Around the 8:30ish mark on this video you talk about bringing happiness to people with these videos. That is true to an extent greater than even you may realize. I just want to say that you guys have brought a good many moments of levity to me in what has been a pretty bad time the last couple of years. I just discovered the channel last summer and it has brightened more than a couple of bad days. It doesn't fix problems or right wrongs, but the couple of minutes I spend watching you guys is such a welcome distraction when everything else makes you wonder why you bother. Thanks for that. Cheers guys! 👍✌

[@CasinoGuitars]

That makes us feel great rafael! Keep on keepin on buddy! From all the guys at the shop, glad your here with us!

[@jmaripen]

Your channel was my relief from stress in the middle of the pandemic. I will forever be grateful for that. When I visit the US again I will definitely visit the shop and give you my business through a pedal, guitar, apparel or whatever. Thank you, Casino Guitars!

[@dougbennett7881]

Nothing more important in life than having fun. You guys are pros at having fun. And all of us pick up on that energy. Thank you Baxter and crew! Keep on funning!

[@brianhensien]

We all know the real title of this video is “Why we are the best guitar shop”, that’s why we’re here, that’s why we love you and appreciate ya and thanks for making these!

[@jimmyfrombrooklyn8550]

Mission accomplished. I met these guys a couple of times and they’re really good dudes. They’re in my opinion very important to the guitar community and they’ve definitely played a huge part of getting a lot of us through the lockdown/pandemic era.

[@99springhouse]

This Chanel is the best! And I’m sure your store is to die for. Your gut is sometimes the best way to go. For those of us that can’t make it to your shop could you do a tour so we can get a feel for the whole store?

[@petfox5920]

I just wanted to say thank you guys for all your advice. I recently was looking through countless NJ shops looking for a trustworthy tech to do a setup/pickup install and I remember you guys talking about Russo music and I just dropped it off today and the guy told me he met you guys and that you guys were awesome :D

[@rj595]

I just want to chime in and thank you guys for the videos! The commentary between you two (and the others that make appearances) is always real and feels like im just hanging with the guys! I enjoy anytime i see you guys have released another video, no matter the subject it will be pure fun just hearing you guys get off track 😂

[@unclelefteye3166]

Mission accomplished! Thanks, fellas. I love it all, i don’t care what you were “trying” to do - the result is magnificent.❤

[@alexwoolridge94aw]

Your channel rocks. My favorite channel on KZbin. Definitely helped me get out of a ridiculous post break up depression. Lookin back I'm better off but keep the content coming. Always a good watch. I need to make the 9 hour drive to see the shop sometime. Might have to bring enough money to snag my next Magnatone from ya

[@steadfastanddomino]

Love tuning in to hear whatever you guys want to talk about. Your baffling stream-of-consciousness commentaries are truly, truly a source of endless joy. Keep up the good work!

[@alanbeesby2220]

Your channel brought me a lot of Sunshine everyday during COVID and has continued to do so ever since 😊

[@casey46]

Hey Guys. Please don't change what you do. The joy and happiness thing spreads and creates unintended positive outcomes.

[@frederickacerra7766]

You guys are as entertaining as hell . Your videos made me want to learn more about guitars and gear and how they work . I sure practice more thanks to your videos .

[@jim_odd_io]

I've gotta agree with the comments about bringing joy through these videos. You guys rock. Your videos brighten my day. Thank you!

[@stevedeshotel2417]

Bravo to both of you for your refreshing honesty. I am feeling joyous and happy now.

[@scottkidwellmusic9175]

I appreciate the levity y'all bring to my day. I look forward to the daily videos, most mornings I have time to watch as I eat breakfast. Sometimes I have to catch you after work. Regardless, I enjoy the content, and hope to make it across the continent to visit the shop Be good to you 🤍💛

[@anonymousanonymous7211]

I find myself looking forward to your TV and movie suggestions as much as your guitar talk, ha. You guys are awesome. Thank you for this

[@gusblacksmith9]

You know what's funny? The more I watch Casino Guitars TV the more my "dream job" takes shape in my mind. Used to be me being a rockstar, but now... Now it'd be pretty damn cool to have a guitar shop, talk about music and gear, working with people I love and respect. God bless you guys! And if you're ever hiring, I'll make sure to apply lol

[@mikes9759]

I think the way your talking right now is why people are following you including me! You tell it like it is and your not the guys blowin smoke in everybody's back door to move crap you don't want!! Sharing little family plugs and mentioning the people you meet and enjoying that time. And blowin off corporate bullshit!! And goofey things in shows and trying to remember who the hot babe was you saw! It's like us being friends with you guys! I'm really hoping I can get down there one day to meet you and the other people there too!! Keep rockin you all!!

[@ToddTheJoker]

Baxter and Jonathan, a little bit because of the Fender Vintera or Fender Custom Shop? video, I just purchased a Fire Mist Gold Vintera Road Worn stratocaster and I freaking love it! Just wanted to thank you guys! Love the channel!

[@kellyhinkelman8591]

Good to catch up with special folk,great honesty.

[@GraphiteandCigars]

I just want to say, I boycott Walmart, I refuse to think Harley Benton makes a guitar that is worth a shit, I firmly believe that expensive and well made gear has a place, I enjoy Jonathan's jokes about Baxter's hair and Baxter's rants about Jonathan's cheap shirt. Keep being yourselves and making people smile. Keep your standards of quality in the gear you represent as it reflects your character and integrity (does not apply to Jonathan). Keep playing guitars and keep us entertained just like the MOB in Rome, maybe feed us bread sometime...... I don't know, we just dig you guys because you are like most of us. P.S. If you go under I will buy the Fender sign.

[@TREVORJB101]

Sam Walton was and is an American treasure. God Bless Sam Walton, Leo Fender, and Les Paul.

[@liveliferusty734]

I love this channel. So real and just like talking with friends. I just can’t talk back lol. I WILL get to your shop this summer.

[@Winterfell1066]

Also, I like watching you guys because it is like watching Gene Wilder with Hagrid.... in a guitar store.😁

[@dinosaursr]

It was -34 deg here at my place in Quebec last Friday and trust me, we didn’t go outside but I sure as heck watched your very fun and informative videos. Keep up the good work.

[@stevenheath741]

Lovin the Joy. You guys are Great Thanks

[@ryangunwitch-black]

I always look forward to your videos. Every day.

[@pulaski1]

Yeah, I found you early in the pandemic, and I still watch your videos. .... And I don't even play guitar, nor anything else!

[@michaelmay9059]

I don't remember the original video that I first watched from your channel, I was looking up something specific and subjective like "strat vs less paul" or something stupid like that. It wasn't until a year later that I started watching you guys regularly But I watched another video and realized that you two are Probably the funniest guitar KZbinrs by a long shot

[@hillbrookguitarstudio4070]

I love this channel and if I ever get over the pond again, I would love to come and visit,

[@charlesdavis5942]

Love your channel you guys are hilarious I want to visit your store eventually

[@brentbeltz8968]

I was never stuck in the house during the COVID. I still watched every day!!

[@timothyhamilton3597]

Absolutely love this channel, and I’m also lucky enough to be close enough to casino to pay you guys a visit soon! I definitely gotta meet you guys this summer

[@CasinoGuitars]

Please do! Come meet our little ruckus crew here in NC !

[@wakledodd]

Love the show guys!!!

[@superflea72]

I can’t remember when I found you guys (probably checking out a Tele or something 🙂), but I subscribed quickly and continue to enjoy your nerdy videos. I will definitely pop in to check out the shop and say hi if I ever make it to your part of the world one day. Cheers from Australia! 👍

[@contrabandjoe7974]

Baxters dying his hair!!!! Little dark there, Baxter. LOL!!!!!!

[@stevebrown5253]

Great channel guys!!!

[@john408smith9]

Actually, I do enjoy your KZbin channel. I was looking for a Fender vintera road worn guitar and you guys had one in stock. In some small way I was to help out the channel and get the guitar I wanted. Keep up the good work.

[@cosmolean]

Watching your videos make me smile and want to play guitar 🎸. Also, picked up a few good movie and series recommendations.

[@chrissolomon6767]

Love the channel fellas! Limitless BTW.....

[@smellytele9629]

Me and my 15yo son watching Last Of Us episode three; "you see, son, when two grown men care for each other..." Reminds me of watching Risky Business with my Dad when I was a young teen; we both just sat there in awkward silence during the train scene. Last Of Us is fantastic, enjoying every bit of it. Wait, are we talking about guitars? LOL I dig the vids, keep 'em coming.

[@geoffwhitemusic]

I used to train college students in sales. One thing of the few things I got right was to stress that you have to believe in the product you’re selling.

[@roymoderatto]

You guys are amazing. Like Bill and Ted or even Beavis and Butthead all grownup and nerding about guitars! I will visit eventually, and I’ll bring cash. Because, and I think I’m not the only one, you already sold a guitar to me with your videos. I don’t know what guitar will it be, but I’ll go out the door with a guitar. You guys are selling in your way! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@1968joseph1]

This is my fun during planning period at school.

[@JonathanHyattVerified]

The movie is "limitless". Also, I like this channel. It's fun and you guys seem pretty cool.

[@richbriggs6053]

Johnthan lock the door. I'll grab the PS3 because it's on like donkey Kong! 🤣 You're the best channel going! ❤️

[@VidMashUp]

Limitless.

[@randomprecisionmotors3130]

You guys are funny...y'all make me wanna play my Telecaster...

[@llewstrutt150]

Hi guys greetings from Down Under. The thing I like the most about your channel is you don’t take yourselves seriously. Keep up the good work.👏🎸🦘

[@mikepodorski4272]

Come on, the Vader fight was awesome!

[@SkunkworksProps]

This resonated with me so hard. I just want to hang out with cool people and talk nerd stuff. If someone comes to me and asks why they should buy something from me vs one of my competitors I will tell them to buy whichever of them makes them happiest, for whatever reason.

[@seancollins3106]

keep the 1/2 guitar, 1/2 video games and pop culture "format"!! it helps that I like almost all of the stuff you guys talk about. :) MORE ANDOR!!

[@timroberson2583]

You guys are Stafford and Waldorf at end of the Muppets tv show! eh…yup!

[@boblanzillo2144]

luv it, i worked in a ski shop for 10yrs and learned its better to sell what you like than lie about a product

[@ltgray2780]

i would love to see some more shops carry Shijie guitars. They are amazing instuments for the price. Mine is fantastic, and anyone who has tried them love them too.

[@MayorMcCheese2000]

I would say these are all the reasons I like you guys basically... I've been dreaming of building truly next level guitars for the last 20 years, actually working on it for the last three years, and should have some guitars in around the next three months... I keep thinking where I wanna go first to try and sell my very first one... Rudy's in NY seemed like the front runner because the credibility that might carry... but as I get closer and closer I keep thinking... man I wanna drive these guitars right down to Casino and see what those guys think first! You guys seem to buy into the magic, the idea that these "things" have a soul of their own... I don't wanna sell something with a part of my soul, to someone who sees it as just another number. I wanna bring my instruments to people that will find them a home.. and if we make enough to pay the bills and grab some beers then hoora, but if not, I'm still making the guitars, and they still need a home...

[@davidkullen7911]

can confirm this is a terrible guitar shop... I went in to buy some strings and left with a disney+ subscription

[@ashleyspeake3168]

I love you guys. Your videos are informative, fun, and silly all that the same time. I haven't had a chance to visit your shop, but it is a bucket list item. Totally off subject, I know you don't carry Gibson, but I was wondering what guitar you would recommend similar to a Gibson Dove. I love the sound of the maple back and sides. Any suggestions?

[@robertcollum31]

Bradley Cooper in... Limitless!

[@johnfritz15]

Episode 3 killed me.

[@Richard_Lush]

It brings me joy😄 you should watch Dark Summer.

[@jamsb100]

Couldn’t possibly be a bad Guitar shop.

[@csnide6702]

I prefer a shop like yours -- NEVER will I go to a GC.....

[@alistairwallace77]

You guys should totally go as Frank and Bill for Halloween this year

[@robertclarkguitar]

I've watched y'all since 1000 subs. I remember the white strat giveaway during COVID. I've been hooked since the first video. Y'all aren't too far out maybe 2 and Half or so 3 hours from WR Ga? I hope to stop by one day. Would love talk or guest on the show. Why not???? Hahahah peace guys. Keep it awesome. Just as you are.

[@andrewhess2978]

Andor is an underrated Star Wars series

[@mikewhitfield2994]

I bought a Duo Sonic last fall; I wish I could've gotten in on your Duo Sonic blowout.

[@johnnewton1830]

So basically you don't want to work. Sounds perfect.

[@jeffsquires6620]

I'm in Canada and I wish you had an outlet here.

[@rocksteady309]

I think it’s a great show !and probably a great store too . A breath of fresh air in today’s world.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

I love that Les Paul deluxe hanging on the wall. ❤️ What year?

[@markpell8979]

Bax, the older we get, the better ALL women start to look. It's when we begin to realize we are not 'all that' ourselves any more. As I always say, "Everybody's beautiful to somebody."

[@stanleyeisel8883]

LOVE THE vIdeos… ALL of them! Through these Videos Baxter and Jonathan have become famous. You guys have put Casino Guitars “on the map” ! There are certain shops in America where if you’re traveling near that location, you MUST stop in….just to say “oh yea, I’ve been in there”! Casino Guitar shop is on my must go to list, without these programs I would never have known about the shop. Keep the videos coming! I look forward to a DAILY dose of Baxter & Jonathan.

[@joshdickens8281]

You guys are a great shop!

[@kjneese]

You are an awesome shop...just not enough Lefties. Seriously!!! More Lefties!!!

[@johnf.r6658]

Yes please, I'm in another part of the world but here to supor left handed people! So hard to find good prices and quality stuff ! Specially if you want something different from a strat or a tele

[@MarcG28]

Limitless.... that's the name of the movie you were talking about lol

[@jeffelm8033]

The Bradley Cooper movie you were referencing in this video was called limitless

[@johnphillips8064]

1 store 2 store 3 store no store - You're doing it right

[@rmzzz76]

Keep doing it your way... I'm betting the "cold calculating way of doing things" advise came from Taylor and PRS reps. These are both very successful guitar companies, but also both founded by leaders who will shameless tell anyone "business is all about the money", now that's true but for these two companies especially, they've risen to the top, but aren't Fender or Gibson level big and they are a bit more transparent on the calculations part they push, because they are constantly having to do this to keep status in the world of the behemoth companies. I like PRS, the man and the product. I respect Bob & Kurt as business men and their ability to market a rather average sounding product on innovation... Happy holidays!

[@malaguitarista5266]

If I could I would visit but I live in Spain. I have a good friend in Charlotte but that is far away.

[@chrisdavies9197]

Rogue one is awesome. Best of the latest bunch but a country mile

[@keestoft250]

Thanks guys. Rogue One up there on the pedestal where it deserves to be! On the flip side, Ewan McGregor sounds like an estate agent from Chelsea not Obi Wan? ....Vader please allow me to show you the south facing Roof Garden, isn't it a delight....

[@MrPAULONEAL]

Ironically I don't see any Casino guitars on the wall...

[@myvintagesunburst7418]

if Edie Falco turns your knobs , check out Nurse Jackie . It's a series done after the Sopranos ..

[@An2oine]

The movie is "Limitless".

[@MrSparks54]

Wifey and I watched the Last Of Us yesterday, sort of an interesting twist on the zombie craze. I could take it or leave it, but she's a zombie fan girl. Good vid guys, thanks.,

[@Emas4646]

I'm still bummed you haven't opened a Southwest Kansas location. 😏🎸

[@johnwashburn3793]

Yes, I bought a guitar that you didn't care whether or not you sold. It's great and checked all of my boxes. I also met James. He is an asset. I have something you would enjoy to see Baxter.

[@brooksroman2918]

Checking in here as someone who grew up with the Star Wars prequels and I couldn’t love anything more 🙋‍♂️

[@brooksroman2918]

Have y’all watched Andor yet? The best show yet!!

[@juliengoguen17]

Bradley Cooper + Robert De Nero = Limitless!

[@JTWilde]

Limitless! Great movie... but better channel

[@anthonypanneton923]

must be why I watch, because I'm a bad guitar player... and not "bad" in a good why, either.

[@3Torts]

1:04 🤣
