We sell stringed musical instruments, specializing in
mandolins and guitars. As one of the major vintage mandolin dealers in the
United States, we have high standards for every instrument that we take in,
ensuring that you receive nothing but the best. Not only do we buy, sell and
trade but we love the instruments we collect so we play as well.
We do a lot of trading and will consider almost any quality stringed
instrument you offer. Perhaps a Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster, or Jazzmaster
is your thing. Or maybe you're a dedicated Les Paul or SG player.
These and many other fine vintage stringed musical instruments
which can often be found on this web page. The selection changes frequently,
and cool instruments arrive on a regular basis. Keep reading
for great deals! I'm Charles Johnson of Richmond, Virginia, USA, and the following
is a list of instruments that I have purchased or traded for over the
last year or so. I do a lot of
trading with just about any quality stringed instrument (no pianos!). Prices
are somewhat flexible on certain items, depending on the piece and how
much I'm wanting something else
I have my eye on! Digital images are available for all instruments -
just click on the camera icon or the underlined name. Photographs are
also available by regular mail.
If you are interested in something we have or are
considering selling/trading/buying, please feel free to make an offer
(hopefully reasonable) on anything
listed. I always appreciate the chance to do some business, even if the
deal doesn't
work out. If you see something you like, email, fax, or call me between
7:00 and 10:00 pm eastern USA time zone
weekdays or 12 noon until 10:00 PM on the weekend. Thanks!

Appraisal Service
Trades of better quality US made instruments are welcome. I don't think anyone should have to buy an instrument unheard and sight unseen, so for mail order or online sales I offer an unconditional approval period for 48 hours after receipt of the instrument. If you want to return the instrument, call during this period and tell me. All returns must be insured and shipped at your expense. I will refund the selling price of the instrument as soon as I receive it in the same condition as it was sent to you. Local sales are on an appointment basis.
I buy instruments! Please email details of what you have for sale. Be sure to include your phone number so I can contact you to work out the details.
That's it. A hassle-free transaction is guaranteed. Mail order, national dealer, local customer, and online references available.
Keep pickin' and grinnin'!! Hope to hear from you!
