  • "I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old. I love music and I've always loved the instruments used to play it. I have bought lots of guitars and gear over the years from many different people and places. It's so nice to meet other people who love and respect the instruments like Scruff and Alex. Very helpful and trustworthy people who bend over backwards to help you find what you're looking for and give you fair prices on on those items. I had always wanted a Gibson 350 guitar and they sold me my dream 350 this year. They bought some of my guitars and vintage gear that I wouldn't let go to just anyone. Knowing how much they care about these items made it a lot easier to let go. I know that they have found and will find good homes. Thank you Scruff and Alex for renewing my faith in people. You are the best."

  • “In today's world of unreliable merchants and mediocre service, I found Scruffs Vintage Guitar to be the best. The stellar service that I received was second to none. I truly recommend them for their great selection of guitars and amps. I purchased a 60's Stratocaster for my son as a present and Scruff went out of his way to ensure it would arrive just in time. This is truly a professional team with a great selection exquisite vintage guitars.”

Scruff took the time to FaceTime me and show me every inch of the guitar I was interested in. The knowledge, kindness, and overall business is unmatched. I can’t express my gratitude enough .
