Guitar Hangar

Guitar Hangar Family owned guitar shop in Brookfield, CT - Lessons | Rentals | Repairs | Instruments of all shapes and sizes The Guitar Hangar was founded in October of 1999.

After running another music store for a number of years, it occurred to owner Rick Tedesco that he was working really hard to make someone else successful. He struck out to open his own shop and thus, the Hangar was born! Guitar Hangar started in a small outbuilding in Rick's backyard. Armed with a website, a Rolodex, and a pile of amazing guitars, Rick built a small army of dedicated customers wh

o wanted a more intimate guitar buying experience. In 2014, after 15 years of doing business in the backyard, Rick opened the doors of Guitar Hangar's Federal Road location in Brookfield. We’re excited to have a new location, an expanded selection of affordable instruments and accessories, and a ton of new services like lessons, school band instrument rental, PA system rental, and instrument repair.

Ibanez – S540-BM Electric Guitar w/ OHSC – Used

Ignite your riffs with this electrifying 1993 Ibanez S540BM, cloaked in a mesmerizing Antique Violin finish that showcases its fiery burled maple top! This Japanese-crafted beauty is professionally set up and primed to shred, blending vintage vibe with modern precision for a guitar that’s as fierce as your playing.

The slim, wizard-like maple neck with a rosewood fretboard feels like lightning in your hands, built for blistering speed and effortless bends.

The burled maple body pops under stage lights, while the double-locking tremolo system keeps you in tune through the wildest dive-bombs.

If you’re looking for a vintage 1970s guitar with some history, then check out this lawsuit copy of the Gibson Les Paul Custom made by Crestwood in Japan. This guitar is an example of one of the many Japanese “lawsuit era” copies of famous Gibson instruments in the 1970s when guitars and rock music were in ultra-high demand. The Japanese manufacturer, Guyatone, produced electric guitars for major guitar manufacturer Suzuki. Badged guitars produced by Guyatone included Crestwood,
among many others. So, we have a production link from Suzuki, to Guyatone, to Crestwood. As far as mods, the tuners have been ungraded to locking Sperzels. The electronics cavity looks untouched. Frets are excellent. Great looking guitar that plays fantastic!

DESCRIPTION:
• MADE IN JAPAN (1970s), serial number 019799
• Solid, single cutaway body with natural finish.
• 22 fret bound maple fingerboard.
• Two volume k***s and two tone k***s, 2 Humbucking pickups, 4 hole rear neck plate inscribed “Made in Japan”.

Gibson – L48 Vintage 1957 Acoustic Archtop Guitar w/ Gig Bag – Used

Here we have a really sweet 57 Gibson L48 archtop guitar. It is a one owner guitar that was brought in by the son of the original owner who has passed away. The guitar is in very good playing condition showing normal signs of wear for a guitar of this vintage. The label is missing so we don’t have a serial number to date it but he remembers when the guitar was purchased so we are going by that. The frets are great with just a little wear on the first fret but it plays clean with no buzz. The neck is straight and the action is low. This guitar is ready to play and not a project. The only repairs done to the guitar are the pick guard was replaced as well as the tuner buttons that had deteriorated over time. Other than that its a very sweet sounding and playing guitar! There are lots of little nicks and dings as shown in the photos so please look them over carefully and consider them part of the description.
