Who we are

Ron’s Gear Garage started as a hobby for founder Ron Denoo. During his frequent travels to Japan he loved to search for rare and wonderful Japanese guitars. He quickly filled his house with these treasures and in order to make room for more successful “treasure hunts” he decided to start selling some of them for others to enjoy. That was over a decade ago and over the years he has built some great relationships with sources in Japan to keep a steady stream of amazing instruments flowing into the hands of new owners around the world!

Here you will find some rare and wonderful guitars that you simply won’t see anywhere else. Nearly all of our guitars are sourced directly in Japan, inspected and cleaned by our technicians, sold at competitive prices and backed up by service that you only get from from a small family-owned business.

We are proud to have the largest inventory of vintage Japanese guitars in North America and thousands of happy customers!
