    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
      @aflashfloodofgear  Před rokem +1

      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.

      Get ahead a little with the US dollar being stronger over there currently, but shipping is as expensive as ever unfortunately

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

    • @aflashfloodofgear
      @aflashfloodofgear  Před rokem +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.

      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. Jikai made, sayõnara🤘🏼
