Steve Swan Guitars
High Quality New and Used Acoustic Guitars
Pre-1950 Martin and Gibson instruments coming in October
Among the prewar Martin guitars coming in October is a great sounding refinished 1939 D-28 that is both stage and recording studio tested. I had a chance to play this guitar briefly about 6 years ago and found it to be warm and rich from decades of play.
Among the vintage Gibson instruments expected in October is a 1935 L-OO.

Get your name on the want list!
A number of high quality consignment guitars are heading to the shop from every corner of the U.S.A. and beyond. Some recent arrivals have been sold or put on hold before they even make it to the website listing. I am continuing to keep keep a want list for those players that want to get in line for something very specific in very nice playing condition. Please email or call to discuss your particular requirements.
