Customer Reviews

If you're into guitars, THIS is the place for you. My husband wanted to check it out before we left town, and it is truly an impressive place. Large, clean, and bright, they have hundreds (at least) of guitars on display for sale. I can't pretend to know the first thing about guitars in general, but there were plenty of knowledgable staff members floating around. There's also "The Vault" with the rare and expensive stuff that is interesting. Overall, a cool experience.

I just received my 2005 Buddy Guy Strat from Nick and the quality of what was advertised was more then expected. Carter Vintage had exactly what I was looking. Nick provided me with a DEMO of the guitar...It was his Blues playing, spotless guitar appearance and I was sold. The whole transaction was impressive. When time comes again to purchase another vintage guitar, I have no worries in working with Nick and the Carter Team.....

Literally heaven on earth. The selection was amazing and staff was so helpful. Everyone talked to me and my family and helped us with all the guitars. It’s not guitar center or gibson garage where a $2000 guitar is locked in place. You can go into carter and pick up an original 52 gold top and play it. I ended up getting a R0. Zach helped me and my brother out in getting our dream guitars. Awesome spot to visit!

Zach at Carter Vintage was incredibly responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. He helped me with all my questions, sent all the additional photos I requested, took measurements, and accurately conveyed the “feel” of a 1963 SG I had my eye on. Just days later, it was safely in my hands, packed better than just about any guitar I ever received, and set up to the exact specs I gave him for my preference. HUGE WIN! See ya again soon, Zach! Hope to swing through and shake hands sometime. I’m very grateful.

I took my guitar in for a repair and quickly found out it was gonna be a process to find another one. Bobby and Henry were so great to work with in helping me find another guitar. It was a process that took a few months, but they kept me in the loop the whole time and found me a dream guitar replacement. I cannot recommend their service enough and would recommend anyone to do business at Carters Vintage.
