What Makes Vintage Guitars Special?

Vintage guitars are highly sought-after for many reasons. Some people collect them; others prefer to play vintage instruments for other reasons. Some people have had a specific sentimental instrument in their family for generations. There are many reasons that people might choose a vintage guitar. Here are just a few that we have encountered:


  • Quality Materials: Vintage guitars and associated gear are often made out of high-quality woods, particularly if they were made between the early 1950's into the 70's. If you are looking at a guitar that still sounds great after 30+ years, chances are good that it was well-made and will continue to stand the test of time with proper care and maintenance.
  • Sound Quality: Higher-quality woods tend to product better and more consistent sound. If you are serious about your sound as a musician, a vintage guitar will set you apart.
  • Nostalgia: Many musicians prefer vintage guitars because they were played by a musician they admire, or they were the standard when they began. Whatever your reasoning, nostalgia is a powerful motivator.
  • Supply and Demand: Many of the woods that were once used to make high-quality vintage guitars are now threatened or endangered. They are no longer used to make musical instruments because they are protected. The exclusivity of vintage guitars makes them even more desirable.


Regardless of the reasons you value your vintage musical instrument, our team is here to help you find the piece of your dreams.
