Since the age of four, this Connecticut Yankee has loved the feel of wood and steel (see picture). After a decade of visiting Japan, I relocated to Tokyo in 2001. Not wanting to take the safe route, I blazed a trail I'd actually enjoy walking on. I'm not some English teacher who unloads a guitar when the rent is due. Dealing in the finest musical gear is how I fill my rice bowl. Last year my love of dealing guitars even brought me the honor of being featured in an interview in the brilliant TONEQUEST REPORT magazine.
Gibson and Fender make up the vast majority of the guitars I sell, but I'm always on the lookout for any excellent pieces I think will be of interest to the world's players and collectors. From Stockholm and Sydney, to Moscow and Manhattan, I've had the pleasure of selling to thousands of the world's most discerning musicians.
I'm happy to track down any hard to find pieces you may be searching for. Be it a machine-gun shaped six-string with built in speaker or a '59 'burst. If you've got the bread, I can find it! I'm also a bit of a pedal fanatic. Looking for some obscure Japanese or rare American pedal? Let me help you out. Vintage/Rare/Hard-to-find American or Japanese parts? I can get those too. Need any gear? Just let me know!
I thank you for stopping by. If you have any questions or comments, never hesitate to contact me.
