Right now, somewhere, a neglected guitar is gathering dust in closet. My mission is to find it, restore it so that it sings, and get it into the hands of someone who’ll play and love it. As my daughter says, I foster guitars.
A gallery of past and current projects is at www.vintagesoulguitars.com, or browse my Reverb shop to see what I have for sale.
Every guitar goes through the following checklist:
*Disassemble, clean and degrease all parts, clean body cavity.
*Condition fretboard.
*Clean electrical contacts.
*Tighten loose screws, jacks, etc.
*Polish - StewMac Preservation or Gibson polish, no silicone EVER.
*Fresh strings, chosen to match the guitar.
*Set action and intonation, if needed.
*Test all electronics.
*Minor repairs as needed.
If I don't love playing it - I won't sell it. If you don't love playing it, let me know, and we'll make it right.

Shipping Policy
We want you to love your instrument out of the box, so we pack it carefully according to industry best practices to ensure that it arrives safely. In most cases you'll just need to tune it back up and start rocking.
If there are items that need to be removed for safe shipping (tremolo arms, for example), we'll include a note on how to properly reattach it. We set our guitars up carefully before shipping. If anything shifts in transit or needs readjusting, just let us know and we'll talk you through any needed tweaks.
We ship all orders within 1 business day after full payment has cleared in most cases. If anything delays that, we'll let you know.
Continental USA, aka the Lower 48:
We ship UPS, USPS, or Fedex Ground (our choice) at $49 for acoustic and electric guitars, fully insured. If you prefer a specific carrier let us know, as that can increase shipping charges in some cases.
