Had an amazing experience dealing with John from true vintage guitar. I had a beautiful 1965 Stratocaster that came into my shop with the owner looking to sell. John made the process so incredibly easy and guided me through every step. He was incredibly generous with his time and was also incredibly honest about the instruments value. I am based in Australia so it was a bit daunting to send such a valuable guitar overseas. However John gave detailed instructions on how to pack and prep the guitar for shipment. Payment was delivered within hours of it being delivered to True Vintage Guitar. Myself and my client couldn't have been happier with how it went and we are truly grateful to True Vintage Guitar
