Hi, I'm a strange little guitar shop located on 1271 North Main St. in Providence, RI. I'm filled, for the most part, with vintage stuff.. you know 60's and 70's (once in a while some 50's items). Lots of Fenders and Gibsons and a few Guilds, but a lot of the strange old stuff too: Harmony, Kay, Hagstrom, Hofner, Framus, Silvertone, Klira and more. I have a huge range of Kustom amplifiers from the late 60's and early 70's and a bunch of small tube amps that are just great for recording. There is an in-house guitar tech to handle basic repair needs and the folks that work here are all active musicians who know a good deal about guitars of yore. Stop in sometime and play something from a collection unlike anything in Providence.
For a list of vintage, rare, and boutique, instruments here at the shop check our blog entry titled "In Store Inventory."
oh.. I also sponsor The Empire Review the first Sunday of every month at AS220. Its an off the wall variety show and sure to entertain. See you there!

Dear Empire Guitars, Thanks for holding the torch for sick old instruments and amplifiers, that Bassman I got from you guys served me well for many moons. My coguitarist and I have become very interested in Kustom amplifiers lately, and were wondering (since you seem to have a lovely collection) how much it would cost for those awesome K100 heads an the matching 2x12s, any ballpark on that?
