Fat Tone Guitars – A Guitar Store and Website with a Difference

Guitars, amps and effects are our passion. We sell the best we can find and we service them too. Our customers include professional musicians and weekend warriors, and we have some products for beginners too. We’re especially proud of our special built, custom and limited edition products. Come back often as we’re adding new gear all the time.

We’ll do our best to help you find the perfect guitar, bass, amp or effect to help you express that sound you hear in your head.

We have an ever-changing selection of pre-owned and vintage guitars and other products, to see some of our current gear, click here. We’re always in the market to buy and trade guitars, so you can trade the guitar you have for the guitar you MUST HAVE!
