I created Orphan Guitars because a certain kind of guitar store from my youth was missing from Brooklyn. The stores around were either selling collector's items or useless hipster guitars, or you end up in a soulless, airless hellhole store that rhymes with Guitar Schmenter. I just wanted there to be a place like I used to go to when I was a kid. A place you could take your eighth grade graduation money or lawn mowing profits and have some old rock and roll soldier help you pick out a cool used guitar.

THERE IS NO NEED TO SPEND A FORTUNE ON A GUITAR!

You can get an amazing guitar for not too much money if you know what to look for. Since most people don't know what to look for, I decided to do the looking for them. 

On top of all that, our shop does professional guitar and amp repairs and carries a full line of guitar accessories and effects. We also sell new guitars and some very cool collector's stuff.

Some proceeds from the shop go to giving free music lessons and getting underserved kids and schools in Brooklyn guitars. We'll also do free repairs for schools on the guitars they already have.

I don't hang anything on my walls of my store I wouldn't use myself. We take any donations and are always open to hearing new ways to help get guitars into the hands of kids that can use them to change their world – or ours.

And my web person tells me to get as many store, store, store, shop, shop, shop, music, music music, music, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklyns into this as possible. 

Music is magic. Thanks for the time,

Dwight
