  • Bio: I first got interested in buying and selling vintage guitars in 1971 when I was studying at URI. I learned I could buy 1950's Les Paul Juniors and 60's Strats from URI students, and sell them to Mike Allison at Providence Guitar & Banjo Co. who already was connected to vintage market back then... At that time you could rent a house in Rhode Island near the ocean for $125 a month, and LP Gas to heat with was only 25 cents a gallon. So I saw there was a way to play with guitars every day, and make a living too, and have been at it ever since. I played the guitar in bands during the 1970s, and I continued buying selling trading guitars and amps with other musicians. I found that I was making more selling them then playing them. In 1984 I got my first store front, a tiny 325 square foot store on Broadway, Rt. 1 in Pawtucket, RI. right off Route 95 near the Massachusetts Border. I was there 10 years. I hung over 100 guitars on hooks from the ceiling. Visitors would say "It's like looking up into guitar heaven". In 1994 I bought and moved into the former Columbia Furniture Building, an Elegant 1930's building with tin ceilings and pine floors and right in the center of the Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution in Historic Downtown Pawtucket RI. My store occupies 4,000 sq ft on the ground floor. Providence Music Service is next door at 64 Exchange Street, and they service all sorts of musical instruments and devices. I opened there on May 1, 1994 with a main wall of over 150 electric guitars and basses, a showroom floor with hundreds of amps new and vintage, and an acoustic room with 65 acoustics on the wall. I had all the makes new and used. We were the largest store in the region, and I met all the local stars like Johnny A, J Geils, Elliott Easton, Duke Robillard and many others, and we served our local musician and collector clients well until 2005, when changing markets, and changing customers forced me to lock the front doors, and go to appointment only format. Luckily, I was born to sell guitars on the world wide web. I attended many guitar shows from the early 1990's until 2005 as a buyer. I put up my first website at pmblues.com in 1999. I've been on ebay since 1999 with 100% Positive Feedback seller name pmblues. I am located near the Rhode Island/Massachusetts border. I am the largest buyer of vintage guitars basses and amps in the New England Region. I pay the highest prices for vintage Fender Stratocaster, Telecaster, P Bass, J Bass, Tele Bass, vintage Gibson Guitars, Mandolins, Martin Guitars, Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Mosrite, vintage pedals.
