Thank you for the Q&A! My question is will your store eventually branch out from vintage Fenders and Gibsons? Maybe more PRS, Guild, Yamaha, Ibanez, Jackson/Charvel, Dean, Kramer, Heritage, G&L, etc?
Hello Alex. Yes, do this Q&A again. Just discovered your channel, and it's been a real pleasure to watch. A quick Q...I'm in the U.S. and on the hunt for a Yamaha SBV bass and so far, only see ones sold in Japan, any advice on buying from sellers there? Have you ever brought back one on any of your trips to Japan?
Hey Dude. Love your show...fun just chillin and watching someone who really knows the biz. I have been running a small bus in Toronto since university, (and have played professionally in bands along the way), so I VERY MUCH appreciate a successful young entrepreneur! I would love to take a crack at the back-bowed guitar, and am happy to pay for shipping. Will do a follow-up vid if you like. Let me know. Cheers from Canada!💙💙💙
PS. Because you deal with SO MUCH gear, (and I noodle away on guitar while your vid plays), I find that I can enjoy your coverage of guitar shows & stores etc. more than once! Thanks Alex 💙💙💙
I've had good results from clamping a very bowed neck in the direction you want, over bending it even, leaving it for a solid few weeks, sometimes blowing some very light heat on it with an air gun while clamped...
Your Q&A is a great idea, and yes, you definitely should continue doing it. Here's a question for you on Gibson vintage guitars. If someone has repainted a vintage Les Paul gold top - in other words, painted over the original gold top - do you recommend leaving it as is or taking it to a reputable shop to be restored back to original? Thanks.
Hi from New Zealand. New to the channel and really enjoying your content. Doing a lot of catch-up on your TH-cam channel. Keep up the good work. P.S Do you buy or stock left handed guitars at all?
Great video Alex. Question, have you ever dealt with or come across a 1983 Gibson "Spotlight Special" Les Paul? I own one and I'm just curious to know how many are still out there and what they are selling for. I will never sell mine because I willed it to my son but again I'm just curios. Thanks man.
Hi I know Im late to the party, But I am very curious did fender do a USA stratocaster in sherwood green with a HSS or HSH configuration BTW im new to the guitar game I know very little and would like learn more. cheers.
Always love your videos BUT really liked your EVH comment. I'm (quite) a bit older than you and it was blasphemy to ever say any thing bad about EVH the player or band back in the day. You handled the question perfectly.
Reverb is the worst place to value gear . Highly overpriced and too many people who think that changing the pickups adds value when the exact opposite is true...if you change 1 peice of a guitar....you lower the value, you can't polish a turd and ask 3 times the price!
Ignore the asking price - most things sell for offers. That's why my dude suggested you look at the sold price - that's what people are willing to pay, so that's what a thing is worth.

Thanks for featuring my question! Great answer. Nice to hear your take and kinda helped justify/support my beliefs. Cheers!
Big fan of your channel. I’ll see you this weekend in Asheville.
What a pleasant surprise! My comment made the video 😂 I love you guys!
You should keep this Q&A section regularly 👏

Love the Q&A format! Is that a Bruno Mars hanging on stage left?

Ayeee thank you so much! Big appreciate that!
I've had good results from clamping a very bowed neck in the direction you want, over bending it even, leaving it for a solid few weeks, sometimes blowing some very light heat on it with an air gun while clamped...
forgot to mention also adjusting the truss rod while neck is clamped in desired direction..
I like the Q and A format. Interesting and appreciated.

Thank you so much, really appreciate that!
do reverb have a customer guarantee like ebay?
Yes they do!
Some people are hard on instruments, some people look after their gear and everything in between
Reverb is the amazon of intruments. amazing but also hurts local stores.
but some heavy ass strings on it maybe
Reverb is expensive facebook market place is much cheaper.
The real question is when are you going to get a real haircut and a real job?
Love,
Mom

Your guitars are so overpriced
How many businesses have you ran?
Well done
Do it again...
