Truly incredible inventory of vintage guitars and amps — almost certainly the best one in New York, if not the entire country. Staff was very knowledgable and helpful, and (in constrast to other stores that stock high five-digit guitars) let me test out all of the guitars and amps freely. They had an amazing collection of vintage Telecasters and Fender tweed amps in particular, but anyone interested in vintage guitars would consider this place an absolute haven.

I bought a mid-sixties Vox Berkeley tube amp here many years ago online and I was very happy with the amp and the transaction. I still have the amplifier and the last time I played it, it sounded great.

I have a Guild T100 hollow body bought in early 1960 made in Hoboken NJ it needs some attention but will it affect its $ value? Plays great

This is like a used care that 'needs some work but runs great': it depends on the details as you surely understand. 'Mint' is usually best unless it's a celebrity. Would need evaluation, give them a call. You may get more if you give it attention first since you remove buyer risk and uncertainty.

probably. they do all sorts of unusual stuff so an oud should be easy

Hi, I bought a 1926 banjolele in July and I would like to change it. The instrument is ok but I don’t feel comfortable playing it. It’s possible to have a refund? I’ll be traveling to New York in the next days. Please, let me know. Best, Guillermo

I'm not sure of their refund policy. I purchased a Kay Bass there last December. The bass needed the pickup rewound but otherwise the bass plays amazing

In doing some research just to try to learn a few things , I'd like to know just exactly what is a VINTAGE GUITAR ? Everybody's got their own opinion and that's fine, but is there something written in stone that defines a VINTAGE GUITAR ?

Last December, I was looking for a USA made 1960's Kay Bass. To me, this is a vintage instrument. I found one at Retrofit in Brooklyn. Anyway, personally I don't think there's anything written in stone that defines a vintage guitar. Some people may think its an older instrument of great value, but what is considered great to me may not seem great to you. Phil

Hi, we recently sold a 1968 F 212. We do not have a Guild 12 strings at present but that is something we are always getting in. I would check our website periodically as it is always up to date. Thanks.
