Find a Dealer

An ex-blues, rock and studio musician, from the ancient 1965-1972 years, and a collector since 1975. I exhibit at guitar shows like the Philly shows but I don't have a store. I buy only guitars I fall in love with and enjoy playing, I have very few electrics and concentrate on amazing sounding acoustics of any pedigree. I love finding cheap vintage guitars that I fix up to sound and play wonderfully. I prefer customers try out guitars in person before buying them, so I meet buyers interested in trying out a guitar at my Manhattan apartment, 207 East 76 Street, apt #2D or anywhere else convenient in the NYC metro area. I don't take credit cards or paypal-very bad past experiences, ask me about them and i'll bore you with them. I try to be accurate in my de*unsafe*ions and as a result I've only had one return in 15 years of selling. I am rarely interested in trading. I have one o the largest collection of 50's & 60's Gibson acoustics J-45's, Southern Jumbos) in the East. I only buy guitars I personally would like to own because they sound great and are priced right. I recently hard a catastrophic car accident where i was supposed to be in a wheelchair. I have made a miraculous recovery to where I now can walk butty rehab is slow. Please bear with me as i am not always near my inventory and have a little more trouble getting around. Many dealers feel 60's Gibsons with adjustable saddles need replacement bridges to sound right, but that opinion has changed. I judge these guitars on a case to case basis ruled by the maxim- if it aint broke, don't fix it, or if it sounds amazing leave it alone. These adjustable saddle models often sound great as they are. If not, we replace them with new glued in bridges. As a result I am interested in buying Gibsons from the 1945-1969 period and I am especially interested in 1964 and 1968 models and earlier as they are lightly built and generally sound superb. All my instruments are scrutinized and repaired by excellent luthier/repair persons on the East Coast- Joe Jesselli of Northport, NY- 631 902 6744 is one,.He was the one and only apprentice to D'Aquisto (for seven years) and is the true heir to the throne of pre-eminent luthier and a modern master with his own line of distinctive electric guitar designs. My guitars must pass CSI-like analysis. I make all the necessary repairs before I post the instruments on Gbase for sale so that my guitar collection has no hidden flaws and that each piece is as good as it can be.

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. We are brokers of many fine used and vintage instruments, such as Martin, Gibson, Epiphone, National, Dobro, Fairbanks, Vega, Washburn, Tonk Brothers, Regal, Oahu, Bronson, Larson Bros., D'Angelico, Lowden, Guild, Collings, Ditson and many others. 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.
