ABOUT

Vintage Classic Instruments is driven by the artist and their needs. Collectors whose passion elevates these guitars are just as critical. What often gets missed, however, are those who experience what gets created. The audience. Whether just for the player, friends at a club, a favorite band on stage, or listening to a tune through headphones, the audience is the receiver. A guitar’s sound, and how it makes them feel, is wholly unique to them. They are who are carrying a guitar’s mystique. 

When a client for a very popular artist performing on Broadway, in NYC, needed to
figure out what was causing his acoustic guitar’s electronics to buzz, it didn’t just need a repair. For them, it was a career test. For us, it was five days of research and experiments to fix the issue so he could answer the artist’s question, “your guitar sounds like s###: is that getting fixed?” Blunt, and harsh. But, they knew their audience would hear it and, maybe, never forget it. That’ll sharpen a sense of purpose in a rush.
