Vintage Classic Instruments is a Google 5-Star repair and restoration business with specialized focus on guitars and basses. Like you, we’re players and collectors, too. Your instrument is your passion: having your instrument be exactly as you need it to sound, play and look, is the only priority. It should be easy to play and enjoyable each time. With hundreds of custom setups, electronic repairs, fretwork and custom creations part of the work at VCI, the mission is clear: it must reflect your needs. If you have a new idea to add to your instrument, it’s all possible. Give a call or send a text. If you can imagine it, it can be made, found and installed. It may be a kill-switch, customized nut, vintage case or a bridge that no one else has. 

“Speed” is not just in the logo. It’s a critical part of the business. Spending time with you and your instrument when you’re in the workshop is an important part of the process. It’ll never just be a drop-off. Delaying or stacking up your project behind others is a rare exception. Zac DelVecchio, luthier, brings his 15-year reputation to every detail needing attention. With a player, touring and builder reputation, plus a Berklee School of Music education, he understands a player’s needs for where instincts and emotion are shaped. 

Vintage Classic Instruments landed in Oyster Bay for good reasons. First, it’s set in a stunning location with easy access for those coming from the east or west. NYC is close, especially by train, which is a 5- minute walk from VCI’s workshop. The coffee in town is good, too. So are the restaurants.
