    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!

    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.

      @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.

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

    • @aflashfloodofgear
      @aflashfloodofgear  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

      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

      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.
