Greetings,

We are www.route66music.com.
With the beginning of our tenth year in 2009 and with the success of our website I was looking forward to an exciting New Year.

2008 was another year of great growth and change for this website and I would like to thank all those who have contributed to this website's success in making me one of the largest musical instrument consignors in the world. I am looking for new venues and products to bring to you and 2009 may very well be the year you'll see some major changes to this website.

My appreciation goes out especially to my customers and an ever growing list of consignors that have allowed me into their stores and collections to show you some truly magnificent instruments. I have had the pleasure of meeting many fellow musicians and have enjoyed making people happy with the wonderful instruments I present on this site. I look forward to being at your service in the upcoming year and beyond.

For those who don't know me, I consign musical instruments for music stores and distributors in the TexArkHoma (Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma) area. As a broker I have the privilege of bringing buyer and seller together. I have been a working musician (the bass player in the photo to the left...circa 1977 and below it a older me 30 plus years later) for years and until 1999, just a regular guy who would look in a music store's window hoping to find that special instrument.  Through this strategic alliance with these outlets I have been able to bring to my Internet clients some wonderful instruments. If a guitar is a factory second you will be advised. I will ALWAYS conservatively describe an instrument if it is used or a factory second. Of course, even new instruments need to be accurately described and I will do that to the best of my ability. Working to develop a reputation for honesty and excellent customer service has allowed this once single page site to grow to what it is today. With our own domain name and expanded presence, I will have more wonderful deals on guitars, basses, amps and accessories. I promise to expand this site with more useful and fun information. Bookmark this site and check back with us often.

Although I never did quit my day gig. Music, the beauty and intimacy of a guitar and it's owner making music has been very important to me for over 30 years. The skills and dedication of the manufacturer, from Orville Gibson to Leo Fender to the factory workers in Tennessee, Montana, California, Mexico, Asia and the world over leave a part of themselves with your instrument. That result could be a perfect chord...a note never before heard...a song that touches someone.

We owe each other in our business, musical and personal endeavors this mutual respect, and commitment in both the real and virtual worlds we inhabit. Your welcomed input is what I need to develop fair and reasonable prices that will benefit my suppliers, musicians and collectors for the best deals on the internet. I stand by this commitment and will always give you my best effort to that end.

If you are a retailer or wholesaler, we may be an excellent addition to your marketing efforts and can bring you a strong Internet presence without the long term cost or commitment of a website. I will take your excess stock, present it on the auction sites and find customers for your product.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank You for viewing this site. It is my sincere hope I may be of service to you now, and in the future.

Sincerely,
Jos
