Are you looking for a vintage Martin or Gibson acoustic guitar, a fine Gibson mandolin, or a good Kay upright bass? 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 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!
Thanks for visiting my page! I'm Charles Johnson of Richmond, Virginia, USA, and I buy, sell, trade, collect and play Gibson mandolins and Martin guitars, and the occasional zook, dobro, upright bass, Tele, etc. 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, and will consider just about any quality stringed instrument on trade (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.
Please look around and feel free to make a (hopefully reasonable) offer 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!
