Founded in 1991, North Coast Music was dedicated to the restoration and preservation of vintage Vox amplifiers. Vox Amplification was so impressed with our efforts that they extended an exclusive manufacturing license to North Coast Music that would allow us to reproduce long discontinued Vox parts such as logos, handles, cabinets and trolleys. Over time, Vox amps and Hofner basses became available at North Coast Music. This helped to make North Coast Music "the American Home of the British Music Invasion."
