“The guys at VBG.com have a great talent for finding the vintage guitar you’re looking for at a nice price – the one that you might otherwise spend years looking for on your own. They know guitars, they know guitarists and they know the market. I’ve picked up three gems through vintagebluesguitars.com over the years and, each time, they truly exceeded my expectations.” - Eric (J-45)
“Thanks a million for selling me the Gibson L-1. I thought the guitar
was in fantastic shape. You guys did a great job on the description, and you
know how it is, you read these details and start thinking "oh my, this thing
must be in bad shape," but quite the contrary. The L-1 was certainly well
cared for and the previous owner took good care of the guitar. It
plays great, sounds great - almost like I thought it would sound.” - Rob (Gibson L1)
Hey Tom....got the guitar today....It is beautiful and sounds "KILLER"!!!..

Hello Gents and thank you for the National Steel Tenor! I love it as does everyone who plays it or looks at it...When I am in the old folks home it will match my wheelchair.

the shipping with no problems. It is a beauty, light, ringing sweet and not too loud, exactly what I
was hoping for. It was a pleasure dealing with you. The history of this particular instrument was a nice bonus." - Ari from Finland (Martin mandolin)
