Great link - they have a TON of great stuff at great prices. Very cool.

buckwild · 02-26-2008, 12:26 AM

I like their pics! Well they used to have pics of scantly clad females(or nude) with some of their guitars.

They've got some damn nice guitars, and decent prices, too. Makes me wish I had about $10k burning a hole in my pocket!!!

Amen to that Bro....

155 · 02-26-2008, 09:29 AM

yeah they seem to have all the good stuff and prices are good too

***b-squared*** · 02-26-2008, 10:07 AM

Agreed, great inventory, great prices as well.

Travis is a GREAT guy, with beautiful guitars and at the best prices *I* have found.
In fact, both my my Historics came from Travis!

It's a win, win situation!

good to know I just bought a standard from him , but the shipping is taking a little longer then I would like!

Dude--shipping is ALWAYS slower than you want.

Be patient...it'll be worth it when you crack that case open...

stillaliveandwell · 02-26-2008, 04:22 PM

Interesting Question. I have sent them 3 e mails in the last 10 days inquiring about a guitar and have yet to get a reply. Do they ever reply to their e mails?

155 · 02-27-2008, 04:10 PM

who are you emailing? is it from ebay or the store? I would try to call the store if so, 775-331-1001 good luck

evilsmooth · 04-27-2008, 08:29 AM

hi guys, i've bought a gibson at vintage vault guitars 3 weeks ago, everything was fine, Travis was very nice, but there is just a little problem, i'm still waiting for my guitar. I live in europe and i know that i have to be patient, but Travis did not give me any code to have information on the usps website. I feel a bit nervous cause it's the first time i buy a guitar on the web. Now Travis doesn't answer when i send a message....
If someone can tell me something good.....
thanks

The USPS website is hopeless, so you're not really missing out. I've been in a similar position to you when buying guitars from the US and the trick is just to be patient. USPS will often sit on a parcel for weeks before sending it, as they need to maximise the use of a aircraft hold space to make a profit. My last guitar from the US went out via priority mail international, and took 5 weeks to arrive rather than the 6-10 days advertised. It's a really worrying thing, but very little genuinely gets lost in the post.

I'd take a guess that Travis is as worried as you. The last thing you'd want to do is make him phone USPS customer service - they are not in the slightest helpful. Give him a break, the shipping thing is just slow from the US. If you want great shipping, try Japan!

Great link!

Nice inventory, wish they had more Vinatage acoustic Gibsons though.

docadillac · 04-27-2008, 10:37 AM

I've heard of these guys but I don't know how they are to deal with. They have some tasty guitars though. Great place to know if you come into some money.

evilsmooth · 04-27-2008, 01:52 PM

Hi Liam, thanks for the answer! I have no other choise than being patient. I think your right (and hope so)

evilsmooth · 05-29-2008, 05:02 AM

You can visit the UPS website, dig around, there's an 800 # noted
"somewhere" and you can call them. I've done it before, just dont
remember which link you need to open.

good luck!

How many times have I stood at the front door praying for and cussing the UPS guy?

JunGao · 07-04-2009, 09:33 PM

Tracking number is in the first pick of the goods or actual shipment to give?
Why Travis never gave me the tracking number? And do not respond to my e-mail it? Are there forums Travis know or are familiar with the friend?
Any info，or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.~~~~~~
Thanks!
