Its been a long 20 years in the Music Industry after 16 Years as a Wine Importer/Educator after 6 Years as a Performer /Guitar Tech in High school. My band started to get noticed and I found out I wasn't a good enough Guitarist in those circles so I went into Management and at the ripe old age of 18 I brokered my first Record/Management deal! I sold my interest in Band and they went far , I went to bordeaux to study viticulture and Wine making. I returned to the USA and worked in corporate environment for 16 years until I'd had enough of that. I was looking for a way to make a living without working at something that didn't excite me so I called on some old friends who were now Record Co execs , Studio owners , etc and I started my Vintage Instrument Rental company at Chung King Studios in NYC . for 8-9 Years I worked at getting the correct sounds for amny Artist's tracks putting together Gear as needed and renting to various studios in New York, Nashville, Miami , Toronto even a few In Los Angeles . I LOVED IT !!!! I had the opportunity to work with many of the Artists I enjoyed listening to so much ... a dream job !!Alas Pro Tools came along and I did not feel comfortable renting my Vintage Gear to people I had no history with. So I went into retail as well as rentals to supplement my income .I will only sell Musical Instrument's & related parts or accessories that I feel I can stand behind . I will at times sell things at "Blowout Price" that will be sold " as is" ..doesn't mean inferior just been in my care too long. Almost exclusively American built with some early 80's to mid 90's Japanese made gear . I also Hand Pick all my instruments and tend to know them very well as I strive to pick the best I can find of a particular type . Most my clients are repeat clients that come back year after year . I ship worldwide usually US Postal Express for International and UPS Ground in CON. US . I always communicate promptly tracking info and when on RARE occasion when there is a problem and expect the same from those I buy from . Having been on E-Bay for 10 years when it was a much smaller , more personal thing I try to still treat most people like that.
