StringTree Auction Highlight: Why We Love Sellers Like Jack

Some sellers only chase pristine trophies. Jack Brunson of Jack’s Guitarcheology sees it differently: every instrument has a story worth telling.

Jack’s passion for repair started as a teenager when he fixed his own guitars with tape, bubble gum, and a can-do attitude. Today, he’s restored thousands of instruments, from department-store oddballs to vintage grails. His auctions celebrate character, not just condition, giving each piece a new life in the hands of the right player.

That’s why we love sellers like Jack. And right now, he has 7 instruments on the block that perfectly capture his mix of history, quirk, and playabilit
