Got Questions?
What makes a guitar “vintage”?
A guitar is generally considered vintage if it is at least 30 years old and retains its original parts, finish, and construction. Guitars from the 1950s to 1970s are especially sought-after due to their craftsmanship and historical value.
How do I know if a vintage guitar is authentic?
We provide detailed verification of each instrument’s serial number, hardware, wood type, electronics, and historical specs. If needed, we also offer professional appraisal services for authenticity and value confirmation.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we offer worldwide shipping. We pack every guitar with care using industry-standard materials and can arrange insurance upon request. Customs duties or import taxes are the buyer’s responsibility.
What if my guitar arrives damaged?
In the rare event of shipping damage, please contact us immediately. We insure most shipments and will help resolve claims quickly. All packaging is done with extra care using industry-standard methods.
Do your guitars come with certificates of authenticity?
Not all vintage guitars come with original paperwork, but we provide detailed verification and provenance information whenever possible. Some high-end pieces include third-party authentication or appraisals.
Do you buy guitars outright?
Yes — we’re always looking for great vintage pieces. If you have a guitar you’re considering selling, send us clear photos and basic info, and we’ll get back to you with an offer or next steps.
