Our guitars

A frequently asked question: How do you find all these fine and exclusive guitars?
Every guitar in our shop is personally selected by us with the utmost care. We place great importance on sound quality, playability, and condition. Before a guitar is presented on our website, it undergoes a thorough inspection and preparation process. To ensure the highest quality, we work closely with experienced luthiers and experts.

Before shipping, each guitar undergoes a final quality check to ensure optimal setup. Upon request, we also offer custom adjustments to tailor the instrument perfectly to your needs.
Explore our carefully curated collection and find your dream guitar!

Certificates, Appraisals, and Guitar Analysis

As specialists in vintage guitars and historical instruments, we offer a professional certification service to accurately assess the authenticity and value of your guitar.

Our Service

For a fee of €300, we provide a detailed certificate that includes a thorough analysis of your instrument.

Please note that we do not offer free evaluations or price estimates. A proper assessment requires time, expertise, and great attention to detail—therefore, we aim to avoid superficial or premature statements.

Certification Process

To begin the process, we require:

  1. Detailed photos and information about your guitar.
  2. Advance payment of the €300 service fee.

Once we have received these materials and the payment, we will start the certification process.

If you have any questions or would like to request a certification, please feel free to contact us!
