Mahar's Vintage Guitars is a brick and mortar and e-commerce shop, serving the planet from Chico, California since 1995. I started out in retail as a 24 year old Chico State recording arts student, opening a store in Chico called Sound Source. I was an early entrant in online music sales. Early success online and at vintage guitars shows enlightened me to the fact that I didn't need a huge store and staff to operate a successful business. In 2005, Sound Source closed and I opened as Mahar's Vintage Guitars. The shop is now open by appointment, and we are shipping world class gear around the globe.
