The Collection
Instruments worth looking at, whether or not they are for sale.
The Collection is a gallery of notable instruments that have passed through Stevie's Guitars over the years, kept as a visual record rather than a sales listing. Nothing on this page is available to buy. It is best used as reference when you are trying to identify a model, an era or a finish. Everything currently for sale lives in the shop.

Why This Page Exists
A dealer's inventory is a moving target. Something remarkable comes in, somebody buys it, and the only trace left is a line in a ledger. The Collection is the answer to that, a place where the good ones stay visible after they are gone.
It is also useful. If you are trying to work out what you own, comparing it against instruments that have been correctly identified beats guessing from a catalogue scan.
