Joe came to my home and helped me with an appraisal. Instead of just giving me a number, he helped me understand why my guitar had the value that it had. Super helpful. Thanks!

Joe was very kind to me and made sure I understood everything about my brother’s guitar collection. He paid me more than 4 other guitar shops offered. He surprised us by singing one of my brother’s favorite old songs while playing his old guitar.

Friendly, responded quickly, prices seem to be best around. Best of all a set up means you get a setup, not just a big box guitar retail shop raising your action and saying the buzz is gone. Solved an immediate problem I had with a LP kit build where one PUP and the middle did not work. Solved on spot in 15 mins. Completed set up in two days. Now I have the weekend to play with my new creation. Will definitely be back again!!”

I firmly believe that vintage Gretsch guitars each carry a unique story and background, which are just as valuable to me as the instrument itself. Everything I do with these guitars is driven by my passion to keep them in excellent condition so they can be played and enjoyed by folks for years to come.
I am constantly traveling the USA as part of my business, and will do everything possible to arrange to see your guitar in person so I can give the most accurate appraisal. Not only do I give you its worth in a number, but I will share with you the reason behind its value so that you can truly understand the significance of your instrument.
Hey there! My name is Joe Dampt and I love old music and old guitars!
I fell in love with the guitar as a youngster while listening to old music from the 50s and 60s. From then on, music has been my life, and I’ve sacrificed and worked hard to make music and musical instruments my livelihood. I love old guitars and musical instruments, but I love the MUSIC even more. I believe that guitars don’t do us any good if they just sit in a case. These beauties are meant to be played!
I’ve performed in many local bands and my favorite styles to play are classic country/western music, swing & dance music, and classic rock & roll.
