The shop is taking a very short break from regular operations this weekend starting Friday, July 24th through Monday, July 27th. We’ll plan to re-open on Tuesday, July 28th for regular business. During this break we ask for extended time to respond to inquiries as communications might be limited at best.

Thank you from all of us at The Guitar Rescue!

A go-to 80s shredder, this Charvel Model 6 was recently sold at . Pointy headstock, sharktooth inlays and a working mid-boost, this thing was an absolute ripper! Major departure from the usual inventory.

In a world of complexity, sometimes it's the simplicity that makes something stand out. This single-pickup Firebird is one of those guitars.

Just one pickup and a wraptail, and this thing absolutely rips. No flame top. No coil taps. No kill switches. Just a single Firebird pickup and a whole lot of growl.

Sometimes less is more.

Fano vs. Novo is always a fun conversation in the boutique guitar world. Even though they share a founder, the two brands couldn't be more different.

To me, a Fano feels like a fresh take on classic Gibson and Fender designs. A Novo, on the other hand, feels like its own thing entirely. You can see the DNA, but it doesn't really try to be anything that came before it.

We're excited to have Fanos back in the shop after a short hiatus. If you've been curious about the differences, now's a great time to stop by and spend some time with both.

In a world where incredible boutique guitars seem to appear around every corner, there's still something timeless about a great flame-top Les Paul R9.

This 2014 R9 has an absolutely stunning figured maple top and represents the first year Gibson introduced the now custom shop standard CustomBucker pickups. It's the kind of guitar that reminds you why the Les Paul is still the king for many players.

Now available on our website for $4,699. If you've been waiting for the right R9, this one is worth a closer look.

2022 PRS McCarty 594 Private Stock Brazilian

This guitar just left the store this week. When you sell close to 1,000 guitars a year, it takes something special to truly stand out.

This one featured a top with unbelievable 3D figuring, a stunning Brazilian rosewood board crafted from wood aged over 30 years, and a beautiful korina back and sides. Easily one of the most impressive PRS guitars we’ve had through the shop.
