Greetings and welcome from all of us at Empire Guitars! Owner Jeff Keithline has been a professional musician for 40 plus years and an avid participant in all aspects of music making. When he and business partner Michael Goldstein opened a new Empire Loan location in 2006, Jeff saw an opportunity to expand Empire's modest vintage guitar retail business into the store he had always dreamed of. He hired two gentlemen experienced in various aspects of the music world (including current store manager Mike Samos) and together they laid the groundwork for actualizing Jeff's vision. Their goal was to create a space not just about selling instruments, but also about knowledge sharing and community; a place where guitar lovers congregate and musicians come to discuss the tools of their trade. Since its humble beginnings, Empire Guitars has grown into one of the best vintage and used instruments stores on the New England area. We specialize in vintage instruments from the turn of the century to the 1960s and quality used instruments from the '70s to today. We are always buying, selling, and trading quality instruments between the hours of 10am-7pm Monday thru Friday and 9am-6pm Saturday here in Providence, Rhode Island. See you soon!!!

We try to carry the best in all price levels: new, used, vintage,student, and more.

We are two different enterprises run out of 106 Main Street in Tiburon, California: our own line of top quality, tradition-based Schoenberg guitars, and the store in which they, along with examples of other top builders of today and yesterday are sold and repaired. Joe Miller teaches private lessons and classes, and concerts and workshops are held. You will find details of all this in the related pages on our site. The Store: Our focus is patient, detailed expertise in selling, repairing, and teaching guitars and other acoustic instruments. We are dealers for Martin, Eastman, Recording King, Loar, National, Schoenberg, Santa Cruz, Pohaku Ukuleles, Wise Ukuleles, Kala Ukuleles, Michael Dunn, John Morton, Tippin, Asturias Ukes, and Seagull.

Check our Current Inventory for the most complete and up-to-date listings. We try to carry the best in all price levels. If you’re looking for a beginner or student instrument, we will try to make sure your needs are properly met. Too often students are sold the wrong or unplayable instruments (example: selling a dreadnought or jumbo with super-high action to a 12 year old—we've seen it!). We set up every instrument that goes out the door, specifically to the needs of its new owner. Manufacturer of high-end flat-top acoustic steel-string guitars: Schoenberg Guitars are a traditional styled modern instrument, strongly patterned after the best features culled from an intimate knowledge of the American steel-string golden age. Especially Martins post gut string, fingerstyle yet pre big flat-picked guitar, when construction was light and open and necks were wider. Originally a joint effort between Schoenberg and C.F. Martin, today, the Schoenberg Guitars are built one at a time by the capable hands of world-class luthiers Robert Anderson, James Russell, Randall Kramer, Howard Klepper, Bruce Sexauer and John Slobod.
