What's on the wall
“There was a range of acoustic guitars and amplifiers too.”
“Cool shop, homey, friendly people, interesting electric guitar collection, including a few nice vintage pieces - especially for a small, out of the way (to me) place.”

“Three years ago we discovered that the head stock broke right off in the case (working theory is that the cat used the case for a bed and her weight broke off the head stock).”
“I'm right now looking at a beautiful corner cupboard we bought from him years ago, and I've had numerous instrument repairs done, as well as sales, swaps and purchases.”

From the reviews
The entire vibe and atmosphere in Jake’s family shop is warm and inviting, but most importantly- so is the man himself! He keeps a neat collection of unique, vintage, and a few units of not so rare gear. Has gone well out of his way to help me every time I go in with symptoms of “gear acquisition syndrome”.
I can’t say enough about Jake and the Wildwood Flower. Any guitar player lucky enough to enter Jakes little Vermont wonderland will not only encounter a continually changing array of interesting acoustic and electric guitars for sale, but the knowledgeable and chatty owner himself, always ready to help out with…
Jake Wildwood is the genius savant of vintage string instruments. He is a walking encyclopedia of musical knowledge particularly about guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles, ukes, tiples, etc. from my favorite musical era, early 1900s through the 1940s.
Going to the Wildwood Flower is always an adventure. I have bought vintage clothing, home goods, furniture, and most importantly, musical instruments! Jake is a wonderful luthier and imaginative and creative in his work. He also has an encyclopedic knowledge of music and instruments.
