Find the guitar of your dreams at Vintage Guitar World

Vintage Guitar World is, from my experience, a trusted curator and provider of rare, hand-crafted guitars. I've purchased two and have been pleased with the price, the quality of the instruments, the descriptions and videos, and the delivery service. My last purchase sent from Germany to the United States arrived in perfect condition in an unbelievable four days.

Perfect experience buying online a vintage guitar

I bought a vintage guitar giving my former guitar as part of the deal. Comunication with Heiko was inmediate and very helpful. I really apreciate his advice about what guitar to choose and answering all my questions.

I sent my guitar, I ordered the bank transfer and the day after my new vintage guitar was on its way to my house. Everything was perfect.

If I have the oportunity to buy again another vintage guitar in the future, I would repeat with Vintage Guitar World with no hesitation.

Immediate shipping and nice

Immediate shipping and nice, reliable contact! The guitar needed some repairs to make it fully playable but thats kind of normal with vintage guitars.

MARTIN HD28

I have been playing guitar for quite some time and I have the opportunity to perform in public and play with a band. I wanted to treat myself and decided to buy an acoustic Martin guitar. I was very lucky and found an offer from Vintage Guitar World for a used Martin HD28. I knew what to expect from this guitar. But I really didn't expect to meet great understanding and helpfulness from VGW. As a customer from the Czech Republic, I was a little worried, but everything went great. Shipping without problems, excellently and with sensitivity packaged. The dealings from VGW were completely professional and I think exemplary. I really tested the guitar at home and I have to say that buying an instrument in this store is a great joy and experience. I thank VGW and specifically Heiko Liepold and I can only recommend buying in this store to all potential buyers.

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to us.

I’m especially happy to hear that the Martin HD-28 met your expectations and that the entire process — from communication to shipping — gave you confidence and peace of mind. Buying an instrument from another country can indeed feel like a leap of faith, so your words about professionalism and trust are deeply appreciated.

It’s great to know that the guitar is now being played, tested properly, and enjoyed the way a Martin should be. That’s exactly what we hope for with every instrument we send out.

Thank you again for your trust, your kind recommendation, and your support. I wish you many inspiring performances with your HD-28 — and I look forward to staying in touch.

Trustworthy and reliable

First purchase from VGW but I doubt it will be my last. First-class experience from start to finish. Great communication with patience and understanding; excellent instrument; good price; great packing and rapid shipping. Buy with total confidence.

I recently purchased a Casimiro Lozano from 2013 (Spruce and rosewood)
The team answered my emails as soon as sent and a constructive dialogue was possible.
I received the guitar very shortly after, perfectly packed and with the action set to the precise specifications I asked.
This guitar is beyond my expectations in term of craftsmanship, sound and playability.
The ratio quality-price is outstanding!
I highly recommend this online store.
One little disclaimer: Do not expect that the guitar looks exactly as the pictures shown in term of colour but it looks exactly like it is displayed on the video sample!

Martin D-28 2000

I had an excellent experience buying a 2000 Martin D-28 from Vintage Guitar World.
Heiko was extremely patient and responsive, and he provided detailed photos of the neck, saddle, and action at my request. This gave me full confidence in the structural health of the instrument. He answered all my questions quickly and clearly, making the entire process very smooth.

The guitar was packed safely and arrived in Berlin within 48 hours. It came in great shape, with comfortable action, a healthy amount of neck relief, and a tall, future-proof saddle. I’m not a Martin expert, but I’ve tried a few over the years — and this one plays and rings fantastically.

Great service, trustworthy communication, and an excellent instrument.
Highly recommended!

Highly recommend

I recently purchased a guitar from this company, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The guitar itself is absolutely fantastic.

The shipping was impressively fast. I was particularly impressed with how well the guitar was packaged; it was secure and protected, ensuring it arrived in perfect condition.

The level of professionalism displayed throughout the process was commendable. From the easy ordering system to the prompt communication, everything was seamless.

I would definitely buy from them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality instruments and excellent service!

Serious and knowledgable dealer!

After having played the guitar since 1980 – first as a conservatory student, then as a pro classical guitarist and recently as an amateur flamenco guitarist – I can honestly say I've never before found such a serious, knowledgable and trustworthy dealer! I recently received the second guitar I've bought here – both times without trying them beforehand. I've just gone for the web description and the dealers recommendations after I've described what I've been looking for. And both times the guitars have exceeded my (high) expectations! I couldn't be happier. This dealer is for sure one of its kind!

This is the second purchase made by Vintage Guitar World. It is a 2019 Flamenca Maldonado guitar in like-new condition with unique sound and comfort. I thank the owner of Vintage Guitar World, a very kind person who follows you step by step and is always available. There will definitely be a third purchase. Thanks

Honest Broker, good deals!

I was wary. The guitar and price seemed to good to be true. After much experience over a life time of playing, trading and playing concerts on guitars in 30 countries over 80 years I consider my self to be almost an expert. Shipping was inexpensive and prompt. It took a few days for the instrument and I to become aquainted, but the notes that emerged convinced me that I was a lucky guy! The quality and tone is the best I have ever encountered. Great broker! Highly recommend!
