WHAT WE ARE ..........AND WHAT WE DO........

We are MARGINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE VINTAGE GUITARS and we established ourselves in 2004.

Our primary interest is in guitars and amplifiers manufactured from the mid to late 1950s through to the 1960s in the USA. We concerntrate on guitars and amplifiers from famous American brands such as Harmony, Kay, Airline, Silvertone, Supro, Danelectro and National. Many were sold through the large mail order catalogue companies.

We also deal in some famous European brands like Framus and Hofner and special models of guitars from manufacturers, such as Ibanez.

The owner of the enterprise is Dale Stevenson. Dale started playing as a young teenager and after many musical adventures, played with a Melbourne band called "The Selves"in the 1960s and early 1970s. This was a great period of Australian music. The Selves played with many classic Australian bands of that era that then went on to greater things. Dale has kept playing and collecting guitars and amps since the early 1960s.
