First I want to send all my heartfelt thanksto all of the wonderful clientsand friends and that I have found thru this business.
We hope you will find inside this site some wonderful early C.F. Martins, Gibsons and other interesting guitars from the golden era. We are alwaysactively seeking and buying pre-1965 Martins and Gibsons. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have an early guitar to sell or consign. [email protected]
Old History: We have hadthe immense good fortune to be able to acquire THE 1948 Martin D-28 that wasowned in the early 60's by Jackson C. Frank.......the very one that he used towrite and record his only album andis pictured on his only album cover.It's been obscure since 1966 and is only now making daylight. I'm still taking it in mentallyand hope it might find it's way into a few current productions and documentaries about Jacksonthat are under way. What an important guitar relative to the emerging folk scene in Britain at that time and to the very short lived and tramatic career of Jackson C. Frank.

I just spent a packet on upgrading the websiteso thatit is phone compatable....... you cannow get the site on your handhelds and pads........we've also upgraded the technicals so the pictures are crisper and clearer and the site works faster than itdid. A new type style and some trimming here and there of excess copy and I hope you like it.
As a new product that we have fallen head over heals for, we are encouraging interest in Elliott Capos. Custom stainless steel handmade capos from a tiny Mom and Pop operation in America that are as sleek as a racehorse...beautifully crafted push button mechanisms and supple lines.....not cheap (actually bloody expensive)but you get every bit of what you pay for with Elliott Capos.~

To quote the book: Gibson's Fabulous Flattop Guitars, C.F. Martin's are the Mercedes of the guitar world ! From build quality and sound refinement to tonewoods, innovation and industry leadership, Martins are the finest and most consistent mass produced guitars in the world. Beautiful quality and exceptional tone dominate the brand. And the Gibson's ??? Gibson's are the Fords and the Chevys ! Being an American, I know what that means...the heart and the soul....the workingmans music and some of the warmest, most tactile guitars on the planet. Vintage Gibson guitars are....well, how do I put it?.......like a favoured pair of old jeans or cowboy boots !! Thuddy, quirky, soft and incredibly beautiful with their painted sunset toneson old spruce planks !!By nomeans second best.....just different in a veryvintage acoustic sort of way!!
So ourconcept behind Replay Acoustics, which is a web basedbusiness located nearSevenoaks in Kent, is to be a consistent and prominent source of good quality vintage Martin and Gibson guitars. We carrythe largest selection of vintage Gibson andMartin acoustic guitars in the U.K. and Europe..........and possibly America.
Since acoustic guitars are constructed of wood, a moving, breathing organic material, theyhave a character and a feel that is unique to each instrument. The wood breathes throughout it's existence, influencing tonal quality, sustain, projection and condition.
