jchabalk Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 i listened to it the other day too, i went and checked out his page, i hadn't been tracking how his business has progressed. just think, they're all just hiding out there ready to be found 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunningham26 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 i remember hitting him up for advice on here back in the day! great guy who has really figured out a way to buy and sell in the era of reverb and online sales- turns out being people-first still gets you ahead. awesome to see his success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I am sorry but I do not recall or know anything about John Shultz. Then again, I have reached that point in life where buying guitars which cost any kind of real money just seems plain silly.  So, I have not felt a need to do any kind of looking around for information or seeking out of advice. No longer getting emotional about guitars is actually kind of liberating.  But when it came to acquiring guitars, most of those I own just fell into my lap locally with no real effort being expended.  I was, as example, the first person sellers thought of when I received the phone calls which resulted in me landing the 1942 J50 and 1932 L1. To steal a line from Joe Wash "life's been good to me, so far." Edited November 28, 2022 by zombywoof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunningham26 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 i think he's got that reputation in his neck of the woods, but in a 21st century way he's also done the work digitally to be the most relevant search when you google "sell old gibson guitar" which in itself is no easy task Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichG Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I met John through this forum back in the day. We spoke a few times on the phone. I recall he had a few Epiphone Texans that I lusted after but never pulled the trigger. Glad to here he is doing well  Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 John (True Vintage Guitar) sold several vintage Gibsons for me that I consigned to him several years ago. My experience with him was 100% positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
