Anyone familiar with International Vintage Guitars?

Charlie Ayers

Anyone have experience with this New Orleans shop?

I see they have a Selmer, #391, with the resonator intact. And a number of Dupont's as well.

That's the Selmer that was on eBay recently:

As someone said here earlier, the pictures of a 1937 Selmer leaning against a round stool on a concrete floor are fairly appalling!

One would think that a proper stand could have been found.

Terrible website

I work there part-time ( lessons and repairs mostly). Sorry to hear that you don't care for our web site, wish I had something clever to say about not pleasing everybody all the time, oh well,.... As to the guitar leaning against the stool on a concrete floor, the "stool" is actually a new stand made by the "Stool-Looking" Guitar Stand company of Ft.Lee, New Jersey and not to worry, the floor is not concrete but actually a giant sheet of 100 grit sand paper. Cheers!

There's actually a much better and more complete version of the website here:

Click "Acoustic Inventory' on the left side and you will see pictures of the guitars, including a blue Dupont against a tie-dyed background:



:shock:

Thanks Sockeye!, Yes, in addition to this KILLER sounding blue 14 fret D hole we have three other Duponts as well as the afore mentioned Selmer. Steve (the owner) is on a buying trip in Paris as I write this. He mentioned he was bringing back some more Duponts ( and maybe another Selmer?!?!?!)

Hi Bud:
