Knaggs Chena - custom build
WORTH THE WAIT! Guitar is absolutely beautiful! Top is really fantastic, the neck is just what I was looking for, access to high-frets is amazing, fret work is perfect, setup is great . . . Really great guitar—resonates unplugged and really sings plugged in. Thanks for helping me design a beautiful instrument. Please pass along my appreciation to the team at Knaggs!

magnatone starlite
I just wanted to tell you how happy I am with the Starlite. My son and I have been putting it through it’s paces for the last hour or so. It is amazing! So happy I went with this model. I knew I would like the tone, but one of the cool things I wasn’t expecting is how quiet the amp is. My son and I were both blown away by how little hum there is even at full volume (tweed tone setting) when not playing. Then you hit the strings and it sounds like it’s going to implode on itself. I’m a happy man!

3rd power kitchen Sink 6VEL
Wow, so I've had this 3 days and gigged it twice already. Floored. The baffled cab construction is also something I've never seen before and the results are just outstanding. For a gigging musician who used a wide variety of sounds, the downfall to a ton of otherwise great amps is the lack of switching options, and especially the ability to boost solos without pushing the preamp further. This gives me more (and better) sounds than anyone could hope to get with a combination of a great clean amp with pedals alone, and with all those convenient options that just make it a pure joy to play. Even the drummer commented on it. Sound guy loved it to boot given how controllable it is on top of it all. I can't remember the last time I was this impressed with an amp, and have never had one that has both this level of controllability with this high quality of vintage sounds. It's like what Mesa Boogie always tried to do feature-wise except it actually sounds great to vintage 60's amp enthusiasts.

3rd power kitchen sink 6vel
"Dude, this thing rocks. Probably the tightest/most focused amp I’ve ever had. Love all the usable tones. The controls are super effective. The push setting is super powerful, I’m still having fun with the two rectifiers, and I’m pretty amazed at what the gain knob on the lead channel can do. A lot happens between 10-2 o’clock!"

Echopark DT series el cabillo
"I found an Echopark El Cabillo at Denver Guitar Exchange after looking for an alternative to my Les Paul special. I had been looking at custom shop Les Pauls and SGs but decided to take a chance on the Echopark after hearing about their reputation and building standards. Its a great guitar with an amazing mid range, very comfortable neck, and super light weight. Van was very helpful in answering my questions in the process and shipped the guitar quickly. What else can you ask for?"

Banker Redtail Reverse
"Van and all the fine folks at Denver Guitar Exchange were such a pleasure to do business with. They have curated such an incredible collection of top notch boutique guitars, I was so excited to see Banker Custom added to that list. The communication and attention to detail in every phase of my order was absolutely meticulous. My Banker Firebird arrived in pristine condition, perfectly setup and ready to howl! I can't recommend Van and his team enough. "

b3 ultramodern
"I can't say enough good things about my experience working with Van at Denver Guitar Exchange. I was interested in checking out a B3 Ultramodern, but being a brand new model exclusive to DGE, there was no opportunity to try one before pulling the trigger. Van was easy to talk to, knowledgable and quick to answer questions, sending detailed photos, etc... Their 3 day return policy was fair and once we agreed on a price(also extremely fair), the guitar was at my door in 3 days. From the minute I opened the case, I was impressed, this guitar just screams high quality. The fretwork is impeccable, the hardware choices are all unique and top notch, the neck carve is sublime and there was not a single cosmetic or build issue to be found. Unplugged the guitar sounded great (a prerequisite to a good amplified tone) and through an amp it was great as well. Initially I was skeptical of the Fishman Fluence pickups, as they were active(I hate EMG'S), but these sound and feel like passive pi

b3 SL deluxe by gene baker
"I just wanted to give a big thank you to Denver Guitar Exchange. I bought a beautiful B3 SL and it sounds amazing. Van went above and beyond to make my buying experience seamless. I had many questions and Van’s communication is great. Guitars, amps, or music he is pleasure to talk too. You can really tell that he loves guitars. Thanks again."

james Trussart - Steelguardcaster
"Working with Van at Denver Guitar Exchange was a delight. Questions were quickly answered about the absolutely amazing James Trussart SteelGuardCaster I was so fortunate to snatch from him at an awesome price. Shipping was prompt - especially considering it was during the Christmas/New Year holiday - and it arrived securely packaged and with a great setup that just needed a quick tuning. As a longtime JT fan, this one in particular feels like some of his best work - and one Van spec'd himself. Excellently done as it sounds amazing (Love the Ultratron in the neck) and just might take over the #1 role from my JT Steelcaster. Just a great buying experience from beginning to end. Thanks a ton!"

Echopark clarence j model
"I just wanted to say a very big thank you for getting this inspiring guitar to me (and fast-USPS was great). This is my 5th Echopark and each is unique - they all have an amazing vintage vibe I have never found in any boutique builder over the years and every detail has a reason on them unlike most builders who just slap together expensive parts and hope for the best. The jazzmaster/humbucker pickup combo is genius. This is an amazing, wild guitar. I've owned 100 guitars and dabbled in vintage and the Echopark guitars have the vibe, tone, riffs and songs in them."

The guitar is just jaw dropping as usual! I have a few vintage guitars, but this guitars looks "more vintage." Kudos to Gene Baker! Kudos to your folks for ensuring its safe and timely arrival! Hopefully you guys can continue your great customer service and also partnership with great builders like Gene Baker.

b3 Phoenix III Semi-Hollowbody in Pelham Blue
"I have owned a number of Telecasters over the years and a Firebird. Everything about this guitar is so well balanced. The tone is rich and soulful. Covers hard rock as easily as jazz. Fit and finish is impeccable. My only complaint is I wish I had found these guitars sooner as I would have saved from buying mediocre guitars to fill a niche in my tonal spectrum."

knaggs kenai
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with and getting to know Van of Denver Guitar Exchange. Not only was the experience pleasurable in all ways, but Van delivered me an absolutely first rate knockout of a Knaggs Kenai Tier 1 Aged Scotch top beauty! It was shipped impeccably and on time."

b3 Phoenix V
I came across Denver Guitar Exchange during my last bout of G.A.S. in search of my next favorite guitar. Van was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, completing the purchase and delivery of my B3 Phoenix as promised. I am completely amazed with quality of my Phoenix; the fit, finish and playability exceeded all my expectations. My G.A.S. Itch has been scratched and it may be sometime before it needs to be scratched again. But when I’m ready again, I’ll be back checking in with Van.
