From the reviews
I traveled to meet Rick in January, 2025... It was time for me to get some advice on selling some guitars not quite my style. Good move on my part! The two BC Rich guitars sold right away...through some of Ricks contacts around the country. My '78 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty went to a good home ...
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Rick and his team as he helped me sell my 1966 Fender Mustang! Rick and his team thoroughly inspected my guitar; to authenticate its age based not only on the external serial number, but also on those of the internal components.
Rick Baker is an amazing individual! I was hesitant to let anyone have my LesPaul custom that I’ve owned for more than 50 years. I had already met Rick a year before I took my guitar to him and knew that he was a lawyer in the music for many years allowing him to develop a large clientele of music professionals.
I was going to write a glowing review on Rick Baker and his vintage guitar business but after reading previous letters I realized that it's all been said already. He is a passionate guitar guy who does what he intends to do and then does it.
Selling or trading gear at Winter Park Vintage Guitars
Winter Park Vintage 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.
Lessons at Winter Park Vintage Guitars
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Winter Park Vintage Guitars. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
