Feb 18, 2025 · J WWow... what a gem of a store! If you're a vintage music nerd this is where you want to go! Not your thing? Well you might find a Mesa Boogie 1x12 Cab for an amazing price, like I did. This store is definitely on my radar and bookmarked website.

Jun 06, 2024 · Brian BillingsFound Rare Birds on Reverb and contacted him about a Les Paul Special. Brian was responsive, fair, and just a nice guy. He went above and beyond to make sure the guitar was communicated well in photos, and he shipped the next day. Excellent experience with this shop, and would recommend any online purchases (which can be scary with guitars) without reservation. Thanks, Brian.
