Logan Lamson

★★★★★

I took my Guild S-100 here for a setup after I purchased it used. It originally came to me with a lot of fret buzz even after restringing it. I took it to Joe and he did a fantastic job setting it up for my specific tuning preferences. 40$ for a setup and it was back to me by the next day. I would highly recommend him for any luthier work you may need done.

I tried to ensure that when I sold my vintage guitar it would find a good new home. I considered many different reputable options nearby and online. But then I found Joe’s Vintage Guitars. Joe was great-knowledgeable, honest, prompt, and professional through the entire experience. He made the process much easier than I anticipated it might be. Thanks Joe!

Meet Vintage Guitar Expert, Joe Dampt

Professional Buyer and Seasoned Collector of Vintage Guitars

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Your Vintage Guild

What Determines The Value Of A Vintage Guild Guitar?
A few things drive it: the model, the year, the overall condition, and how original the guitar is. Where it was built matters too, since the early New York and Hoboken instruments and the Westerly, Rhode Island guitars each have their own following. I weigh all of that against what comparable Guilds have recently sold for so the appraisal reflects the real market.
Which Vintage Guild Models Are Most In Demand?
The big jumbo flat-tops like the F-50 and the F-512 twelve-string, the D-55 and D-40 dreadnoughts, the X-500 and Artist Award archtops, and the Starfire electrics all draw strong interest. Clean, original examples from the New York, Hoboken, and early Westerly years are especially sought after, but I am always a buyer for honest player-grade Guilds too.
How Do I Find Out What Year My Guild Was Made?
Guild serial numbers are the best starting point, and the early years can be tricky. I put together a full Guild Serial Number Guide you can use to date your guitar. If you are still not sure, send me a few photos and I will help you pin down the year.
Can I Sell A Guild That Needs Repair Or Has Been Modified?
Yes. A repair, a refinish, or a few changed parts does not take a Guild off the table. These are still great players and I buy them all the time. Just tell me what you know about the guitar and I will factor it into a fair offer.
How Do You Pay, And Who Covers Shipping?
I can often meet and pay cash in person, and I am out buying guitars all over the country. If we cannot meet, I pay by money order, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, or bank transfer, and I arrange and cover prepaid, fully insured shipping so your Guild is protected from your door to mine.
