Atomic Guitars
New York, NY Trusted Dealer for 18 years

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...

AJ's has a modern 1,250 sq ft guest house on the property that we accommodate our customers with if they travel here for a hands on inspection and need a convenient place to stay.

Buying my first custom guitar was a memorable personal experience between me and Kevin, a small shop owner in Montpelier, Vermont. His store was a gathering place for players, managed by musicians, where the finest guitars, amps and accessories could be explored. Kevin was passionate about his trade and knew every intimate detail of each instrument in his store. For years, that experience has fueled my passion to create a similar musicians haven. I have been blessed with the opportunity to do just that. Welcome to The Guitar Sanctuary. Sincerely, Geo

Mesrobian Guitars
Online Only Trusted Dealer for 10 years

I've been playing guitar for over 50 years and collecting and building for about 30. My first "real" guitar was a Gibson ES-125 I bought from a high school friend in 1968. My first amp was an Ampeg B-15 I bought from a high school friend - he was upgrading to a Gemini. At that point I learned that quality instruments are affordable and my search was over. I started gigging soon after that. Additional instruments I play are pedal steel, mandolin. Instruments repaired and set up are guitars, banjos, pedal steel guitars, and some amplifier repair. I also offer wood and metal shop services, CNC router, CAD, guitar re-binding, and finishing.

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.

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.

OK Guitars
Online Only Trusted Dealer for 15 years

I've been a player for 60 years, a collector for more than 25. I specialize in Gibson ES-335s, 345s, 355s from the 50's and early to mid 60's. Nobody in the world buys more 1958-1964 ES-335's, 345's and 355's and nobody sells more of them. I occasionally come across other cool gear that I just can't pass up like Fender tweed amps and the occasional SG, Strat, Tele, Firebird or Jazzmaster. Online sales only for now.

Restorations & Repairs Since 1965

Top-grade fretted instruments and parts backed by New York City's longest operating fretted instrument repair shop. Subscribe for advance notice of the newest instruments added monthly to umanovguitars.com as well as the latest from our Repair Shop- https://mailchi.mp/umanovguitars/subscribe Repairing and restoring top-grade fretted instruments is where I started out in the early 1960s in Greenwich Village, several years before opening my store here. It began with fixing everything I could find as a little kid, gaining tool skills and woodworking and machine skills along the way, and knowledge of processing all kinds of natural materials (wood, metal, plastics, glass and more) for manufacturing processes. Having also grown up in the music world since infancy, building and rebuilding musical instruments came naturally in my teenage years and by the time I was fourteen or so I had started working on fretted instruments, my first love. Restoring Martins and making electric guitars were natural ways to go and I was off on a tear, doing it professionally by the time I was seventeen. Opening my store came about five years later, doing all the repairs myself, and on to running the business for the next forty-eight years, finally deciding to close the retail end and keeping our long-since internationally-acclaimed repair department open. While we have closed the retail floor of the store, our guitar restoration and repair department remains open, by appointment, serving New Yorkers and musicians from all over the world in the same location that the store had been in for the last forty years. You're welcome to email info@umanovguitars.com to arrange for a day and time (Mon-Fri 1pm-4pm) to bring your treasured instrument in for anything from bringing the Martin that's been in your family for over a hundred years back to life, to straight-ahead Strat or Les Paul setups, and everything in between. We'll take care of you in the same that way we always have, with uncompromising professional attention, since the 1960s.
