As a young player nearly thirty years ago , big corporate retailers did not exist. 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
We stock guitars, basses, amplifiers, effects pedals, and accessories from the finest brands, where the builders share our passion for the ultimate in build quality, attention to detail, playability, and tones that are inspiring, without sacrifice.
