Ian Stehlik and Simon Wilkins are old friends, having both had a decades-long involvement in vintage instruments: playing, collecting, restoring, appraising and of course pursuing the quest for ultimate tone.
Simon had been musing over the idea of a Canberra based vintage guitar shop for a number of years, and when Ian relocated back to Canberra in 2022, the Capital Vintage Guitars partnership was formed.
‘We are both relaxed individuals who like to chat about the intricacies of vintage and boutique instruments, amps and accessories. As part of the Capital Vintage Guitars concept, we’re keen to bring guitar enthusiasts together in the nation’s capital for the National Vintage Guitar Expo!’
