“Fantastic store with incredible array of boutique guitars, amps, pedals…Clif’s got it all, and the care and expertise to ensure you have a great experience!”

From the reviews
I’ve been going to LA Vintage Gear for several years, now. Both stores, Burbank and Studio City, have a very relaxing vibe. There’s something in the collection to please any player. Clif is an awesome hombre, always willing to visit and just chat. He’s quite the host.
LA Vintage Gear is an excellent establishment. Ben, one of their reps, helped me order a Two-Rock Classic Reverb Signature head and cab and helped me with the customization of the rig. LA Vintage was also very responsive with emails and I never felt any concern working them with such a big purchase.
The first time I walked into L.A. Vintage Gear I was blown away by the professional selection of high-end equipment. The staff has always been warm and welcoming with a vast knowledge of what it is they sell.
The last honest guitar shop in Los Angeles. These are some of the most curated beautiful guitars in one small shop that gives a damn about their customers and their satisfaction. I cannot recommend this shop to serious musicians enough.
Selling or trading gear at L.A. Vintage Gear
L.A. Vintage Gear 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.
