Where to buy vintage & used guitars and basses in Rome / Italy?

Rome is without doubt one of the most beautiful cities in world. But beauty isn´t enough when a vintage guitar aficionado travels abroad 🙂 On a recent trip we ended up asking ourselves exactly that question: Where to buy vintage guitars in Rome?

We found a cool little vintage guitar store out in Trastevere area named Rome Vintage Guitars

aka Liuteria Americana Roma. The store is 20 years old and is run by owner Bobò Leonello. Here is the address and phone number: +39 06 581 0797 – Via Luciano Manara 5, 00153 Roma RM, Italy.

The Trastevere area is great place to go to relax, food & drinks and shopping. So there is plenty of stuff to do when your loved one goes vintage guitar berserk.

Eddie Van Halen Custom Guitar Pedal Board 2007-2008 Tour

Legendary, unique and historic. This is Eddie Van Halens guitar pedal board that he used on the 2007-2008 Van Halen Tour.

In January 2011 Vintage and Rare visited the NAMM show in Anaheim, California. As the guitarfreaks we are, we of course had to visit Guitar Center on Sunset Blvd, downtown Los Angeles. In the front window sat Eddie Van Halens guitar pedal board from the 2007-2008 Van Halen Tour.

This famous pedal board marks the sold-out tour where David Lee Roth for the first time in 23 years performed with Van Halen.

– It is an outstanding piece of hardware and a must-see for guitar-freaks all over the world. It is always interesting to see how the master guitarplayers put together their rigs. As a huge fan of Eddie Van Halen and his unique sound and groundbreaking playingstyle and technique it is great to see up close.

– We hope you will enjoy these pictures. Should you have pictures of the amprig please contact us, as we would like to show it on this blog as well.

Jeff Buckley Fender Telecaster 1983 For Sale

We are very happy yet a little sad that we now have the honor and privilege of selling Jeff Buckley’s Fender Telecaster 1983.
This Fender Telecaster 1983 was one of Jeff Buckley’s main guitars and he used it throughout his short performing and recording life.
Jeff Buckley was voted the 43rd best singer of all time by the Rolling Stone Magazine.

Jeff Buckley (1966-1997) grew up in California and in 1997 he moved to Tennessee. In Memphis he sadly ended his life, way too soon (at age 30), in a tragic drowning accident while he was waiting for his band members to fly in from New York.
Buckley published his first album “Grace” in 1994 where he among other cover songs made Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah” legendary. He toured both in The States, Europe, Asia and Australia with “Grace” and won several awards for the album.
After finishing his tour in 1996, his second album “My Sweetheart the Drunk” started to take form. In 1997 he moved to Memphis where he went back into the studio to start recording. A three week rehearsal was planned. On May the 29th 1997, while waiting for the band to arrive, Buckley went for a swim – fully dressed – in the Wolf River. He had gone swimming there many times before but this time he did not return from his swim. He was caught in the wake of a passing boat.

Despite of his short career many of his critics have called him the most remarkable musical artist of his generation and even today he is a great source of inspiration to musicians all over the world. We are very honored to have this legendary singer-songwriter’s guitar up for sale and exited about the huge interest the Telecaster has already received.
