Our newest vintage and used guitars, basses, amplifiers, pedals, and studio gear—freshly acquired and ready to play. This collection is updated constantly as new instruments arrive, featuring one-of-a-kind pieces from Fender, Gibson, Martin, Marshall, Vox, and other iconic makers. Because our inventory is unique and moves quickly, availability can change daily—if you see something you love, don’t wait.
If you’re looking for real deals on quality vintage guitars, amps, pedals, cases, and parts, this is the place. Every item in this collection is priced to move — no gimmicks, no inflated numbers, just honest pricing on great gear from Mahar’s Vintage Guitars.
Some of these instruments and amps have been overlooked simply because of timing; others are here because we’d rather move them than let them sit. That doesn’t mean they aren’t great tools or interesting pieces of history — it just means we’ve adjusted the numbers to reflect the current reality of the market and the spirit of keeping things moving.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to add something special to your collection, or if you’re hunting for a gig-ready guitar or amp that won’t break the bank, this is the place to start. The inventory turns quickly, so check back often. When we say something is priced to move, we mean it.

This will be our third trip to Franklin, Tennessee for the 2026 Nashville Guitar Show.
In my opinion, this is becoming perhaps the best show in the country. It has grown significantly each of the past three years. You never know who you might bump into at this show!
I travel lighter, but I try to bring our best stuff and I'm always buying.
We just returned from our second January guitar show, this one was in Costa Mesa, CA.
We had an amazing show, buying selling, and trading like crazy the whole time!
Here is a quick preview of a few of the items we grabbed. We're going to go through each item to authenticate and verify originality and condition, then they'll be listed on the site.
Keep an eye out for the new inventory!
