A Bit Of History...

Initially opening in 1990 as Let's Jam on RT 55 , Jimi Heslin's Axeshop  later opened for business at this location in 2012. the Vintage Vault was added at the Axe Shop as a custom-built showroom, attached to the main Axe Shop building in 2018.   Inside you'll find vintage guitars from manufacturers like Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Gretsch and more, as well as new high-end instruments from Dingwall and Babicz. You'll also find vintage and custom amps from Marshall, Fender, Ampeg  and others.

The Vintage Vault showroom was created as a permanent location to house the most special pieces from Axe Shop's large inventory. The Vault is the first completed stage of an ongoing building restoration, to add even more space & music services to the towering Axe Shop complex.

If you're interested in selling a classic instrument or amplifier of your own, you can stop by for an appraisal, too!
