About me:
My name is Charlie Spillane and I am the owner of Rainy Day Vintage Guitars. I live in Merrimack, New Hampshire but I am always traveling to buy the vintage guitars of my dreams. I started playing guitar when I was twelve and I have played every day since then. I started doing research on vintage guitars, and over the past years of research I have become very knowledgeable about Fender, Gibson, and Epiphone guitars made before 1980. I have played, owned, and sold hundreds of collectible vintage guitars over the past several years. I discovered my passion for these instruments at a young age, and I have been getting my hands on as many old guitars as I can since then. Today I collect, buy, sell, and appraise vintage Fender, Gibson, and Epiphone guitars made before 1980.
I have bought and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of vintage guitars, and by doing this I have learned just how personal these guitars are. For many including myself these instruments are more than just guitars. Each one carries a story with it, about what its been through, who owned it before, how they played it, and even what kind of music they played. This is what I love about vintage Fender and Gibson guitars, each one is unique.
I love to buy guitars from private sellers because I understand the emotional side of this process, and these instruments. Whether it’s a something you've inherited, or part of your collection, I truly love vintage guitars, and treat each transaction with the care and fairness it deserves. I have bought guitars from all over the country, location is not a barrier for the right guitar.
If you're looking to sell, get an appraisal, or just want to talk vintage guitars, feel free to reach out. I’d love to hear from you.

1962 Gibson Les Paul/SG Standard in Kentucky
In August I was lucky enough to be the highest offer for the family of the original owner in Lexington, Kentucky! I got on the road and drove from New Hampshire to Kentucky to do the deal in person, and I am thrilled to have it. It is an awesome early example with the desirable Patent Applied For humbucking pickups, and it even came with its original cable and amplifier!
I am always a buyer for vintage gear like this. Trying to find a vintage guitar buyer near me? Don't hesitate to get in touch!
