ICONIC BUFFALO GUITAR BOUTIQUE is CLOSING...

After fifty-two years in business, Ed Taublieb is closing the String Shoppe on Ontario Street. Ed’s devoted customer base enjoyed his knowledge and attention to detail as he advised each purchase and tweaked each instrument until it was right. We’re excited to offer many instruments and accessories that Ed personally curated at significant discounts. All new instruments will be sold with a factory warranty. Included in this collection are sixteen Jean Larrivee guitars, including dreadnoughts, orchestra models and L-bodies in various tone woods and trim levels. These mouth watering instruments will hold their own with any boutique guitar made. We also have new guitars from Eastman, Blueridge, Tacoma, Takamine, Recording King, Garrison, Kay, Durango and others, many used guitars, resophonic guitars from Regal, mandolins from Gold Tone, Kentucky and Trinity College, a Wildwood five string banjo, new Martin and Pono ukuleles, new Oscar Schmidt autoharps, used autoharps, Saga electric guitar, electric bass and banjo kits, many Hohner and Lee Oscar harmonicas, violins and bows, a huge collection of Vintage Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bluegrass and String Journal magazines, sheet music, music books including the Mike Longworth C.F. Martin History signed by both the author and Chris Martin IV, TAB books, many great LPs (classic rock, folk, classical), vintage brochures and posters, amplifiers, including a Fishman Loudbox, an incredible array of part and accessories including machines, nuts, bridge saddles, pins, pegs, so many string sets, thousands of flat and finger picks, capos, slides, luthier and setup tools, cleaning and polishing kits, straps galore, stands, pickups and transducers, cords, foot rests, and a large collection of new, used and vintage cases, project instruments and more. Some of the lowest priced instruments here exhibit beautiful quality and tone, a testament to Ed’s eye for value. This is a rare opportunity, folks! We will open from noon until 5PM on Thursday and continue all day Friday and Saturday. Security is on the premises. Come to all four of our Western New York sals this week:
