Oral History Information

Interview Date
Job Title
Founder
Company Name
Bizarre Guitar

Greg Golden was in the vintage guitar business back in the days when such instruments were referred to as simply “used.” Along with a handful of key dealers across the United States, Greg played a vital role in developing the vintage market by not only offering top quality instruments and setting them up for playability but also by his vast knowledge of each guitar brand and model.  His own store, Bizarre Guitar, opened its doors in 1975 in Reno and has since developed into one of the leading retailers in both vintage and used instruments and gear.  Greg’s personal passion just seems to grow and grow over the years.  At the time of his 2015 interview, he and his band were packing up to hit the road for another series of concerts, doing what he loves most-- making music!
