Finally! I've overcome my case of CAD (Computer Aversion Disease) and set my new webpage editing program  so I can start updating my homepage. There are quite a few new arrivals and some are SPECTACULAR. Just check the New Steve Andersen Model 16, Bill Comins Chester Avenue, Galloup Solstice and a rare shot at a used Melo EM3 Supreme. That's just a few among many.

The new Andersen Model 16 Custom is our first guitar direct from Stephen. It won't last long so take a look at her while she's here. This is one of the best sounding archtops in the shop. I'm looking foward to a nice long and fruitful relationship with Steve and this one has gotten us off on the right foot.

Here are some my personal favorite accessories:

Cleartone Strings

Benedetto Guitar Polish

Hydrate Fretboard Conditioner

All available at Golden Age.

Yet another new brand at Golden Age! We can now officially welcome Benedetto Guitars to the club. Our first Bene's are here now! BTW we include a free bottle of Benedetto Polish, a Benedetto Microfiber Polishing Cloth and a set of Benedetto strings with each Benedetto Guitar sold - a $44.98 value.

If you ever wanted to get your hands on a Carlson Turbo Pup but couldn't find one, now's your chance. I've dragged Mark Norwine out of amp purgatory to make us one. We are now offering the only new Pup in the world. Mark says it's the last one he will ever make, but we'll see about that.

Now in our eight year of operation, Golden Age Fretted Instruments has grown from a home based company selling previously owned and vintage fretted musical instruments, to a company that now also offers several lines of new fine handcrafted guitars by some of today's finest luthiers. Your source for fine guitars, fretted musical instruments and accessories.

GOLDEN AGE GOES STOREFRONT! On April 17, 2004, after expending some blood, sweat and tears, we opened our new musical instrument retail store located in Westfield, New Jersey! We are conveniently situated right across the street from the Westfield train station and can be easily reached from Manhattan's Penn Station. Newark Airport is a short 20 - minute drive and we are also just minutes away from the Garden State Parkway, route 22 and route 78.

The store now features a full line of quality accessories and a great selection of CD's by great guitarists, past and present. Please feel free to stop by and play some great guitars in a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
