Here are the videos I did at Sam Ash And Sweetwater

What is the waiting period all about ? FBI background check ? You are buying a guitar not an assault weapon ...

That dude at the counter is at every guitar center I have ever been to LOL

Guitar Center and Total Wine a match made in heaven

With that case... I think you made a good in store trade! Compare that to the hassle of putting those guitars on the net, waiting for a buyer, then packaging and shipping... hoping it all goes smoothly... VS... getting a great upgrade in trade with $500 in cash! Cool video Phil!

Phil, this was a very fun video, and honestly, a must watch for guitatists looking to get into their first real upgrade and are limited on funds. The only drawback is a lot of folks don't have a guitar-minded spouse like Mrs. McKnight to point you to the right deal 😂😂

That is the nicest most fully stocked Guitar Center I have ever seen in my live. I also have never seen a PRS in a Guitar Center. The GCs I have been in all look like K-Mart when they were in their last week in business.

This guy did a great job. If you’re patient, this is the experience I have had. I traded a bunch of stuff I didn’t need and walked out with stuff I did “need, ” with the store still making money from me. Works for us all.

That's a solid fart 14:11 . Oh, and great video Phil! 👍

Hey Phil, The Atlas C1 headstock protector is now available! Thanks!

[koreyarmstrong]

The craziest thing in the video to me was $2, 000+ guitars at head level that you can grab and play. Here in Seattle those mofos are up high or locked up

[tombuck]

I’ve rarely related to a video more than this.
“Let me find something totally reasonable…”
Smash cut to “I’ve never played a $3300 Dean like this before!”

Good trade. Having been on the other side of the desk at GC a few years ago (part time), I know that to double check used offers, our company policy was to do average eBay sold listings and give 60% from there if the customer wasn't happy with our initial offer. Reverb was not on the table because of their fees and other things. It looked like you got treated fairly, store was clean, and the interaction was good. Overall, great video and closer to what I experience as a buyer/seller at GC in Virginia Beach.

3:17 If you can get past the giant headstock this guitar is pretty cool. It's very comfortable to play.

I like this. Every guitar player has some gear around to go play the trade game at guitar center with. Something I do often myself

[shanethackeray]

The fact that you can go in and trade guitars that you no longer want is totally cool, in the Australian State I live in all music stores have to have a “ used guitar license “ to sell your second hand guitar. It is total BS that you can’t trade but only put on “ consignment “ which the store takes 30% from your asking price. The very very few second hand dealers give you sweet FA as a trade. Walking in weeks later to see your antique Aria, Gibson, BC Rich hanging in the racks for almost brand new or outrageous prices is also pretty heart breaking.

I can say my local guitar center had a huge used selection, mostly at Reverb prices. They had high priced guitars, freely accessible, whereas previously, they would be locked up. I think they are changing for the better!

I don't have a problem with Mexican made Stratocaster's. If I had a chance to pick a foreign company that makes them, I would definitely lean towards Japanese market. I fell in love with your channel. I'm a 54 yr old fan from Detroit Michigan, nothing makes my cruise down I-75 South bound more enjoyable than checking out the latest content. I wish you and yours the very best. Happy Thanksgiving to all group members, 🍻.

You also got an awesome hard shell case with it - which you'll sell and end up with an even deeper discount!

[Karveyheitel]

Truly riveting video… also love the fact that you plug in and play all of these guitars . It’s super fun for the viewer 😊

[TheSmokeofAnubis]

You absolutely 100% chose the right guitar, it sounds beautful 👌🏼 and that store is AWESOME!
