“The one industry that has forever needed a REAL undeniably accurate and trustworthy authentication service the most has FINALLY received it! There are literally no words to explain how incredibly excited I am to witness the way that this company is going to COMPLETELY change the face of the entire culture of buying and selling vintage guitars for the better!”

“This may create some uncomfortable moments for dealers—after all, everyone makes mistakes—but it’s a necessary step to ensure the long-term viability of the industry.”

“Vintage Verified has pioneered the use of hard data from analytical chemistry to tell you exactly what you have. You can’t argue with that. And you can’t beat that.”

When you’re investing in a high-value instrument, you want the best analysis possible. Think about it this way: you wouldn’t go to the doctor and ask them to use the same technology they had in 1975. You’d expect the most advanced tools available today. It’s the same with guitars…when the stakes are high, you don’t settle for outdated methods. You want the most reliable, up-to-date information guiding your decision.

“I think what you're doing is revolutionary, really, for the cultural heritage field. we’re talking about hundreds of billions of dollars in private collections—art, instruments, antiquities—where virtually no scientific analysis has been performed. And in my opinion, virtually everyone who collects would like to have that kind of information.”

“When I worked at General Atomics designing and building diagnostics, I learned the critical truth that to truly understand a finished product, you must first have a fundamental understanding all of the processes that contributed to its creation. That’s what Vintage Verified has done, and it’s an honor to be a part of it.

“As a collector for nearly 40 years, it’s critical to know what is real, and what is not, in the ever-burgeoning asset class of vintage guitars. Before Vintage Verified, it was well-intentioned people with years of experience doing their best. Now, the technology exists to have a definitive answer. We can finally sleep at night knowing a custom color Stratocaster isn’t a refin! Bravo!
