“You can’t separate the look and sound of a great vintage instrument.”
We’ve had countless acoustic instruments from the 1930's and 40's in the shop. These instruments have taught us invaluable lessons. Pictured below are just a few of the great 1930's and early 40's guitars that we have had the honor to repair, play, and enjoy.
"To us it is simple. We love perfectly setup and easily adjustable, old sounding, and old/beat up looking guitars, and that's what we make."
