In 1996, Jay Boone founded Emerald City Guitars out of a funky storefront in Seattle\u2019s Pioneer Square neighborhood. These days, ECG may occupy the same address but it has evolved into one of the world\u2019s great vintage guitar destinations, a place where Dumble amps, Blackguard Telecasters and \u2018Bursts line the walls alongside more affordable electric and acoustic guitars and amps. On today\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to Jay about the growth of this family-run business; the sales trends he\u2019s observed over the years; how a $400,000 'Burst gets sold; the vintage guitars he just can\u2019t keep in-stock; plus a lot more. It\u2019s a fascinating chat that covers a lot of ground: from vintage Gibson electrics to Martins, reverb.com and more.
