What We Do

Based in the Denver metro area, Coal Creek Guitars (CCG) focuses on sourcing quality used music gear, improving it, and returning it to the market. We document the journey from what we look for when buying used gear to the repairs, cleaning, and setup work that bring each instrument to its best, often sharing the process through free videos.

When we say "improve," we mean everything from a full guitar setup and deep cleaning to part replacements and damage repair. Profit matters, but the chance to learn from a restoration is just as important.

We also build free tools for players and buyers who want to understand the instruments they are considering. From our branded serial number lookup pages to our guide on valuing a guitar, we create resources we use ourselves when evaluating guitars and other music gear.
