When your wife asks, “What’s so great about vintage guitars anyway?”—don’t you find yourself getting frustrated by the reality that there aren’t any music store clerks who can intuitively sense the difficulty of clearly expressing your feelings, your indescribable attachment to acoustic guitars, or that mysterious worldview that only fellow acoustic guitar enthusiasts can share?

Our acoustic guitars now come with a new “Peace of Mind Warranty.” For one month or six months after purchase, we’ll address any defects arising from normal use free of charge.
Enriching Your Musical Life
Our relationship with you doesn’t end with the purchase of an instrument—that’s just the beginning. We also help with promoting live shows, recruiting band members, and other announcements. Whether you’re thinking, “It’s starting to feel a bit hard to play,” or “The sound is a little different than I expected,” we’ll do our utmost to support you through any challenges or unexpected issues you may encounter after your purchase. In addition to long-term tuning guarantees and maintenance, please feel free to consult us about any minor customizations or concerns you may have.
We’ll Take Responsibility for the Handover
“I haven’t been using it much lately,” “I wonder how much this instrument would sell for,” “I’m a little short on funds to buy a new one”—everyone has their own reasons and timing for parting with an instrument. Please feel free to consult with us about your specific situation.We’ll restore the instrument you’ve cherished to the best possible condition and pass it on to its next owner. We buy not
only current models and popular instruments but also vintage pieces and instruments from lesser-known manufacturers. Feel free to reach out for a quick LINE appraisal—via message or phone.
We’ll do our very best to support you
“I’m looking for this, but you don’t have it, do you?” “Would a modification like this be too much of a challenge…?”
Leave it to us. Feel free to consult us even about items you’ve never seen elsewhere, products you’ve been told other stores can’t handle, or cases where you’ve been turned down. Each and every customer’s request is our driving force and energy. We reflect these in our product lineup and tuning services, evolving every day.

Store Manager Inoue
What got me started with acoustic guitars was the “19.” Back in my student
days, I started playing with the hope of “singing and playing to be popular.” Now
, I spend my days captivated by the charm of vintage and used guitars.
