From the reviews
WellStrung is so much more than a traditional vintage guitar shop...it's a destination. My son and I have traveled a great distance to experience this treasure in person.
David and Paige are an awesome duo. They obviously have access to the most amazing collection of vintage guitars anywhere on the planet, but they are also great people and have a real passion for the history of the instruments and the industry and really look out for their customers.
David, Paige and the crew at Well Strung Guitars are top notch. I have purchased many high end vintage guitars from them over the years and couldn’t be more pleased with their friendly and knowledgeable customer service. Kris “Fried Okra” Blakely
Well Strung Guitars has the most extensive and impressive collection of vintage guitars from the 50s and 60s I've ever seen or heard of. Everyone working there is friendly and helpful.
Selling or trading gear at Davidson's Well Strung Guitars
Davidson's Well Strung Guitars comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
