Trusted by local players and collectors.
Looking for a specific guitar? We’ll hunt it down.
If you’ve got a guitar in mind and can’t find it, we’ll go out and track it down for you. We dig through listings, shops, and private sellers to find the exact one you’re after.
Send us the details—make, model, year, specs, budget—and we’ll start the search. When we find the right one, we’ll let you know and help you secure it.
We also help to track down stolen or previously owned instruments when possible.
Small fees starting at $20 apply. Straightforward and worth it if you want it done right.

We don’t just love Strats—we adore them. Proper Instruments redefines the simplicity of Leo’s original design. Most Strats are muddy when the tone controls are below 7. Players just live with it—or add a treble bleed.
That’s child’s play.
Proper Passive is built to be usable from 0–10—you can’t get a bad sound, even at bedroom volumes. 0 starts your journey—JM/BB-style. 10 delivers full SRV bite and presence. Everything in between is there for the taking.
All with no batteries or useless blender controls, Ever.
Setup, overhaul, or full restoration—we’ve got you.
Every guitar is different. We take the time to understand what you have and what you want before recommending our services. No upsells. No guesswork. Just real guidance backed by experience.
For larger or specialty work, we partner with Boylan Guitars in Harrisville, RI—our community partner.
