Guitar Oasis

by MiSSDemeanor at Citysearch

I love this shop- the selection of guitars (and other stuff) is pretty incredible; your classic flattops and electrics AND all kinds of weird one-off instruments. The staff is super nice; and very knowledgable, but not in a too-cool-for-you kind of way; they 're really passionate about guitars and genuinely willing to talk about anything they know. They do repairs, too- put a new skin head on my Dad's old Vega banjo from the 20's. highly recommended!

  • Pros: best collection in Brooklyn- smart, personable staff
  • Cons: kind of hard to find- call for directions!

Worth a trip from anywhere

This is the place to go for anyone interested in purchasing a vintage musical instrument for themselves or for a gift. Staff extremely knowledgeable about each piece - atmosphere is relaxing and un-pressured. It doesn't matter whether you are a famous musician looking for something special or someone who just appreciates owning a "masterpiece" , Retrofret has what you're looking for.

  • Pros: Best selection of vintage guitars

Honest, Reliable, Vintage Instrument Dealer

by bkleincitysearch at Citysearch

I've bought and sold instruments with these guys. Owner Steve and his team are well informed, trustworthy, and acquire a unique collection of both classic and oddball instruments. I learn something new everytime I interact with these guys. Anyone who loves vintage instruments will enjoy browsing their site and store. An important part of Brooklyn's musical community.

  • Pros: they actually know what they are talking about and selling
  • Cons: this is not ebay -- expect to pay a fair market price
