Selected Vintage Guitars

Selected Vintage Guitars was born out of a love for music and instruments, combined with a passion for collecting and restoring them. Years of stage experience have clearly shown us that the true essence of an instrument lies in the quality of the materials used and the precision of its craftsmanship. This is what led us to become fascinated with Japanese guitars—instruments that, in their heyday, offered unmatched craftsmanship and sound quality.

Several years of running a professional guitar repair shop have reinforced our belief that it is precisely these older instruments that are the most rewarding partners in luthiery work. After a thorough restoration, they repay the effort with a unique tone and excellent ergonomics. Why? Because they were built from the finest materials available—without compromise.

We are guided by the principle that it is better to invest in an old, carefully selected, well-seasoned, and well-played instrument, have it restored, and enjoy for years to come the uncompromising quality of its materials and construction, as well as the magnificent sound with which such an instrument with a history will reward you.

Our store is the embodiment of this motto. We seek out the most interesting instruments from around the world—not just Japanese ones—and perform a comprehensive restoration on them. Every instrument comes to us with the goal of restoring its full sound and character.

Selected Vintage Guitars is a place for anyone who values quality—both in sound and craftsmanship. It’s not just a store, but also a space where you can delve into the history of vintage luthiers, legendary workshops, and iconic brands. A place where instruments tell their stories—with your help and ours.

Our strength lies in practical experience—we don’t just theorize. We use these instruments every day—in our work on stage. We know how they should sound, how they should feel in your hands, and what to do to ensure they fit the user perfectly, both in terms of playability and tone—we have the expertise to help you find the ideal instrument.
