The history of Eddie's Guitars dates back to 1971, when shop owner Ed Putney went into business. His passion for music dates back to the 1950s when he began taking classical piano lessons. In the home parlor where he took his lessons, Ed's passion for guitar was born. Sitting across from the Steinway Grand Piano where he sat were two Gibson guitars that he lusted to learn how to play. Unfortunately, it was not in the cards for him to learn, as his parents forbid him to play guitar. They were worried he “would turn out like Elvis Presley!” Throughout being in business in the '70s and '80s, Ed realized his passion for guitars could be translated into another area — sales. It was during that time that he committed to selling the best guitars possible and made that the focal point of his business. In 2000, Eddie's son Nathan came on board to help curate what Eddie's Guitars could become. Their vision was to develop and create the business to include nothing but the world's best guitars, amplifiers and effects pedals. Their decision to handle only the finest quality products lead to include what would become known as boutique manufacturers, small builders that share their affinity for the highest quality. This mantra has created a guitar shop where thousands of incredible voices reside for your choosing. With half a century's experience in the music industry, we know what quality instruments are and should be. We implore anybody who shares our passion to visit our showroom and experience what we have to offer: The finest guitars and gear in production.
