I spent the late 1990's and much of the 2000's as a music store owner and vintage guitar dealer, selling online (here on GBase as Sound Source, then Mahar's Vintage Guitars) and at guitar shows across the country. I switched gears in 2009, returning to an old passion - audio visual systems design and installation. The COVID situation offered up some spare time, which found me back in the guitar business. Now I'm at it full-time and things have picked up as if I never took a minute off!
I spent years shipping guitars, amps, drums etc around the globe, so you can trust that I'll handle the items I sell here professionally, insuring that your purchase arrives safe and sound.
