From the reviews
I really enjoyed my transaction with the Vintage Guitar Gallery of Long Island. I recently purchased a Sho~Bud volume pedal from them that was the perfect candidate for a restoration...it was missing a few things, that I so happened to have and could fabricate myself, so, I shot them an offer, and they accepted!
As a lefty buying a guitar is hard, and I am almost always buying blind online. I recently purchased a vintage Martin D-35 L from Vintage Guitar and I was blown away by what I received, low action, good intonation, no fret buzz, balanced tone -- and the guitar booms.
I have bought a 1956 Gibson LG1 and a 1970 Gibson ES335 from them. The prices were fantastic and the guitars just perfect (much better deals than one would get in the vintage guitar shops on Manhattan). The owner Michael Rudes is a very competent and reliable dealer.
An awesome Les Paul Guitar ! Great communication...I would do business with Michael again anytime ! Thank you. Dave.
Selling or trading gear at Vintage Guitar Gallery of Long Island
Vintage Guitar Gallery of Long Island 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.
