RIP Stan Jay

So sad. I have spent quite a bit of time with Stan and his kids in his shop. I bought three 15 series Martins from him, an M21 Steve Earle, and even a Gibson Sheryl Crow. He always treated me fairly. I still remember his walking over with interest, and picking up a guitar and joining me, as I played Gordon Lightfoot's Cold on the Shoulder.

Rest in heaven Stan, and peace to your son and daughter.

I met Stan in 1991 when I went there to buy an HD28. He asked me how many I wanted. He had six or eight. I sat down to play some and he handed me a pre war D28 to try. It was $20K at the time.

 

I couldn't swing that one, but bought one of the HD28's. Over the years I bought a D18GE from him, a Goodall that my son has and a D28 Marquis. I got disappointed a few times when some good used guitars got away because I hesitated. My fault, not his!

 

We will all miss him and a place that can never be replicated.

Was a bucket list thing for me .

new york and mandolin bro's.

 

have often laughed at the product descriptions.

was that stan that wrote those ?

 

is always hard to hand a couple of thousand to in any business. but some made it easier to do. I'd imagine he was one of those guys.

Stan wrote them all.
