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.

Experience: AJ's Music and Vintage guitars is a very reputable and long standing specialty Guitar shop; originally from Chicago and currently being the oldest music store in the Las Vegas area. We have been playing, collecting, buying, and selling vintage guitars and amps for almost 50 years and are part of the original group of pioneer vintage dealers in the world. We even helped design and create the Fender "Relic" guitars and most of those great options and features they incorporate. We have guest stared on the hit TV series, "Pawn Stars", bringing several items of famous music memorabilia to the viewing public. Integrity: There are many reasons to do business with honest and knowledgeable dealers like AJ's Music and Vintage Guitars. Lately we have seen many problematic, issue, and fake guitars being sold to the trusting public through popular sites. Many purchasers don't even realize it until it is too late. Places like Reverb and eBay will not guarantee a safe transaction anymore mainly due to their ignorance of knowing guitars well enough. There is no worse feeling than finding out the guitar you bought is worth a fraction of what you invested due to fraud and dishonesty. We are extremely careful when buying guitars so that your buying protection is always guaranteed. Please look into eBay and check our feedback, as these are actual transactions over many years, and not one way distorted Yelps or Googles, none of which are substantiated. Our eBay account is "pete3rwr" and there are many 100s of customer statements listed for your review, where we have maintained 100% customer satisfaction ratings over the many years, ratings you can count on to be factual. Payment and Return Policy: The market has seen many changes of late brought on by new policies with Paypal, Reverb, eBay, credit card providers, and sales taxes. If you purchase from us through "gbase.com", "vintageandrare.com" or directly from our store and web site there is no sales tax and we will often discount the other fees associated with buying through eBay and Reverb. Our shipping prices are very reasonable because we are insured through Heritage Ins Co and have a discounted commercial account with UPS. WE are very careful and professional in our packaging. Please ask about our return policies, as they may differ depending on your specific purchase. That said, please rest assured, we want your repeat business and understand how important your customer experience and satisfaction is. Again, please read our reviews on eBay and see below our satisfied list of professional guitarists, many of which still transact business with us for over 45 years! Satisfied and Returning Customers: Our professional list of very satisfied clients from over the past 45 years; many of whom continue to do business with AJ's: Randy Bachman, Steve Marriot, Peter Frampton, Rod Price, Mick Ralphs, Muddy Waters, Roy Buchanan, Bruce Springsteen, Jim Peterik, Joe Brown, James Burton, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Billy Gibbons, Brian May, Albert Lee, Eric Clapton, BB King, Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Scotty Moore, Paul Gilbert, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks, Mason Ruffner, Devin Almond, John Cruz, Rick Neilson, Tom Peterson, Pete Theones, Mark Chatfield, Charles Dennis, Jerry Donahue, Tom Bukovac, Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana, Kirk Fletcher, Joe Osborne, Dave Amato, etc...

It is my goal that Dying Breed Music be the most fair vintage guitar business in the country. When you call Dying Breed, you will always speak to the owner, and I will always have time to talk to you. “Only the Best Will Do” is not just a tag line- it is the way that we do business. With each guitar purchase a hand writen thank you note is included. Also in each case is a handmade in Tennessse Col Littleton brand leather good with the Dying Breed Music logo impressed into the fine leather and a handmade in New Orleans letter press Dying Breed Music poster. All shipping is expedited with the vast majority being executed overnight. At Dying Breed Music you will always be treated with dignity, respect, courtesy, and humility. We are a vintage guitar business focusing on concierge, broker, appraisal, advisor, and asset management services for our clients. We go above and beyond to connect our buyers and sellers with pre World War II acoustic guitars as well as pre 1970 Fender and Gibson guitars and amplifiers. We have sold some of the best, rarest, and most historically important guitars in the world. Our clients include studio musicians, professional songwriters, recording studios, collectors, celebrities, music professors, professional road musicians, and many folks who love to play guitar in their living room. We’ve shipped guitars to 42 states and 24 countries. Our inventory is always filled with amazing guitars, and always fairly priced. This is our full time job, and we LOVE talking to customers. Never hesitate to call or email us. We promise that you will ALWAYS be treated like a person when interacting with us. That’s right, we treat people like human beings and not numbers or transactions or cash. When you call Dying Breed, you will always speak to the owner, and I will always have time to talk to you. About Lane Comeaux, Owner I graduated with a masters degree from the University of Southern California in communications and management. A program that is ranked number one in the world in media and communications studies. I also graduated from a private top 75 University with two degrees, one in public relations and one in advertising. The point is not necessarily the intellect but the discipline, consistency, grit, sacrifice, hard work, competitiveness, and integrity that were necessary to complete these credentials. I’ve also been a guitar player for exactly 25 years. I’m a player first but also relate to you as an investor and collector. At eleven years old I became enthralled with the guitar. And a voracious reader of serious guitar books and had a plethora of them (along with magazines) canvassing the house. Each year I literally wore out to the point of falling apart- 2-3 copies of the big Fender Frontline catalogue. I understand your passion because I have it too. Dying Breed Guitars aims to be the quintessential broker, advisor, concierge, and expert regarding buying and selling pre World War II acoustic and pre 1965 American electric guitars. We seek to utilize the highest level service, marketing acumen, work and personal ethics to ensure our curated customers are ecstatic not only with their purchases but also with Dying Breed Guitars. We will always hold ourselves to the highest standards of humility, respect, courtesy, and transparency. Simply we will go to any lengths to be fair and honest to all sides and treat all involved in our business as human beings and not transactions. In doing so we will become the premier provider and confidant in the premium vintage guitar space. We have more than 215,000 views each week on our website. Which of course is more than 800,000 per month and actually more than 10 million visitors per year! We have more followers on Facebook than any exclusively vintage dealer in America. We pride ourselves on playing the online game as well as anyone. As a guitar owner and consigner what that means for you is a consistent audience of actual buyers- studio musicians, rock stars, investors, studio owners, songwriters, museums, historians, and more. We have cultivated this over 11 years and no one works harder at it. While working here I took two years of full time study at the University of Southern California to earn a masters degree in communications, marketing, and management from the number one ranked communications and media school in America. Again what this means for you- obviously I’m not the best at every facet of the vintage guitar world. But when it comes to the marketing aspect- I want no one to do it better. At Dying Breed Music you will always be treated with dignity, respect, courtesy, and humility. And you have my word- no one will work harder for all sides. Never hesitate to contact us through any medium.

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!!!

Jay has a long history of performing and recording credits in the music industry as well as over 30 years experience in the used and vintage retail market. His goal was to establish the most respected and complete vintage guitar shop in the northwest. After owning and operating Emerald City Guitars for the past 25 years we believe we have achieved many of our goals.
