Looks like fun! Old Squiers are now seen as a good value. My first guitar way back in '86 was a Squier strat. I've owned my guitars since, rocked the Sunset Strip in the late 80s with Charvels, Kramers, you name it, and my latest guitar? An HSS Squier Sonic strat I got for $160 with a free setup at Guitar Center. I'm not rocking through a Boogie or Marshall these days, but I love my little Roland Micro Cube. Till I get a Katana or maybe Fender, this is good enough. Cool video!

Thanks, Hank. You said you were going back, I was looking forward to it, and you delivered. Highlight of my day! Did a little plumbing work while this was playing through the first time, had a small flood/mishap, had the wife yell at me, and I turned the volume up so I wouldn’t have to hear her. ;-) Rock on!

I got infected with the guitar bug back in the 60s thanks to the Beatle Boys. Consequently, I just love your forays into the guitar shows. Please keep it up. They are so satisfyingly rewarding for me. One day maybe I'll learn to play something.

Thanks Marvin, I will go to a show when I can. There are a limited number a year here. But I should be at all of them.

Those made in Japan Fernandes are fantastic guitars.

That Pickenbacher bass is sick af IMHO

America is great what a great day out for any guitar player we dont have stuff like this in the U.K. Im so jealous

I don’t think that’s crazy to anyone watching a video like this

Absolutely stunning Squiers at Billy Fender's booth

Great video! It seems with every guitar there’s usually a story behind it. So it was interesting to hear some of the sellers stories.

My favorite had to be the Silverburst G&L you passed by really quick. Looked like a great axe if it was a USA version.

That was a Kremona at 9:12 handmade in Bulgaria, great guitars. Awesome video, wish I was there.

Excellent. Thank you .

It's good I'm no where near a flee market like this one, I wouldn't be able to resist this, so many gems. Dude that Kremona is a good classical guitar from eastern europe, and that takamine 😍. So many good stuff

The acoustic Kremona you saw is actually a Bulgarian guitar. The factory is still producing guitars now :) And they are very good.

This was awesome Hank! Always enjoy these...really wish there was a flea market like this close to me but it would get expensive! Rock on.

Thank you Don, yeah Guitar Frog is in my previous market video as well.

My brother had a guitar in the mid 90s that looked very similar to that Starforce, but it was black and the design looked exactly like that, but more lightening-y looking.

3:17 those headphone amps sound killer keep in mind you can run them not only to headphones but anything that has an aux in i used to run mine into a car /computer speaker's/powered cabs /Bluetooth speakers/computer and it always sounded amazing for the price i recommend anyone who cant jam loud to get it i had the vox metal 1&2 and oh my god did it sound great with no hiss no buzz had a noise gate and a few effects built In its very very versatile

I grab Fernandes off ebay all the time from the Japan market. You can get like new for 3-400 bucks with shipping if you shop careful.

Thanks again for visiting us and posting another video. Hope to see you again at our March 10th event. Big Al.

That RG is one of the better ones. It has the Lo-Pro Edge trem system. Only the real high-end spec stuff gets one of those.

That Fernandes is sick!!!

Kremona makes nice classical builds out of Bulgaria, they are readily available on the new and used market. Also, it was pretty normal back in the 70's for Takamine , Sigma (and others) to copy the Martin font (as well as Gibson trademark infringements) .

@erikkibler3466

3 ай бұрын

Yeah,I had a d28 Takamine Martin copy.looked and sounded like a Martin

That Takamine classical was actually from a period where they tried to imitate Martin. Known as the “Lawsuit Era”.

This would be a fun event to attend. I like the prices. One of the best parts.

Man, I’m a guitar junky and I was just in Daytona Beach from Pittsburgh visiting over the holidays for 3 weeks. Wish I knew this existed then

😂 I watched it ! I wish the Gibson les paul jr. Was in my area !

Very nice guitars!

I believe that Mustang is a '68. There is a rectangular red light right in front of the rear bumper where it curves around to the body. I don't believe the '67 model had those.

wow, lots of cool stuff on there.

Great video 👊💪

What a wonderful video have a wonderful day Hank ❤😊

Instrument "swap meets" are a great way to barter yourself into a good guitar - or vice versa.

That Takamine acoustic is very rare, and that’s a killer Fernandes Strat .

2:41 theres a Squier pawnshop 51! A relatively sought after guitar and a decent sounding one at that for what it is. I owned one last year but it wasn’t for me, still nice to see some out in the wild!

SOO COOL PLACE😎😎

I WANT that case for My Mad Cat!😎

a white cort was my first guitar i wish i lived close to this flea market swap meet

I heard of Edan because they came up when I was looking for parts (necks, bodies) and I have use a couple of their necks and their nice.

That Carvin Bolt kit guitar is a great guitar for little money. And the Larrivee is a Martin for 2/3 the price, they're the only acoustics I still have.

Dang! Was just in Mt. Dora and Renningers. Had no idea about this.

A dead giveaway are side marker lights usually indicate 1968.

Dude!!!!!! That is Awesome!!!!!!!! Do They have Other Gear Like "Amps" "Pedal's" Etc Etc??? Oops.... Answered My Question.... You Showed Some Pedal's.... I'm Soooo There!!!!!!!!

You really missed out on that cow.. that thing was dope af

The mustang is a 1968. You can tell because of the side marker lights that became a federal requirement for all 1968 model year passenger cars. It's the easiest way to tell a 67/68 mustang apart, camaro, imapala everything

Wish someone would organise something like this in Uk

Like guitar

How much was the Takamine slot head that looked like a Martin ? I would love to have that one .

That DeArmand hollowbody was a expensive guitar. Gretsch by Fender made...I believe. A buddy has a 7 string DeArmond that is worth around $1200...😮

I would have grabbed the Allen Eden guitar for that price. Super nice for a kit guitar. Where can I buy one like that? (already made)

Man I so wished you would have shown that cream telecaster at guitar center booth. And I would have bought that Harley Benton tele. Too cheap

Second time in a row I have missed it . Live in Apopka . Jeez .

Aww man I wish there was something like this near me

Prices?? The Fernandes and the little Hondo would have left with me, Mercifully I live in Austin.

That was a lawsuit era Takamine. Kind of hard to find these day.

It's a tenor banjo. You play jigs and reels as opposed to 5 string for playing chords....
