I just wanted to write a note to say how much I appreciated our recent transaction. I am really in love with the guitar -- the 1940 rosewood J-55. Not only is it a spectacular model guitar from the golden era, but it is also one of the strongest, best sounding rosewood guitars I have ever touched.

But in addition to the guitar itself, I wan to thank you for all your efforts to support the transaction in the most trying of times -- in the middle of a pandemic. Through the whole process, your reliability and professionalism were exemplary -- I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Although my focus is on playing the guitar, for over four decades I’ve also met many guitar dealers, collectors, and repair experts around the country. In the quest for great guitars, I’ve found Lane Comeaux to be speaking the same language- details about the sound, construction, and “vibe” the old guitars have. Always very personable and helpful, as a player he also happens to be very good at finding these treasures, and knows there’s always more to be appreciated and enjoyed in the fascinating world of vintage guitars. He knows what I like!

I bought a 1951 Gibson J-185 from Lane, the 9th one made and absolutely love it. It was as described. He's a great guy to deal with. Hope to do business with him again.

Lane is a DANGEROUS MAN, my wife says so!!.If I could I would buy every guitar he has. He always has amazing inventory..I just purchased a banner SJ and can’t wait to get it. I had been looking for one for a long time and Lane found it. Check out his site and get your check book out. Here’s to many more guitars! THANKS LANE!

Lane got it right when he named his outfit Dying Breed Music. His work and general approach represent the best values that too often get lost in today’s digital markets. Lane is honest, super knowledgeable, humble and straight-forward. He cares much more about helping you locate an incredible instrument that will make you happy than about making a sale. He was responsive to all questions and it was really a pleasure to do business together.

I just received the 1909 Martin 0-28 from Lane. The instrument is exactly as he described it in his post. The transaction was flawless, the shipping was as scheduled and once I swapped the nylon strings out for a set of light gauge steel strings, I just put my head back and soaked in the tone and sustain. Next time I get the itch for an instrument I'm definitely checking with Lane, he's straight up the real deal. Keep up the good work, man. You've got a good thing going.

Dying Breed music has an amazing way of consistently having the best acoustic guitars in the country. Since Lane is a player, he can give a very insightful “in hand “ description, and give you a good idea of the sound and playability of his fine instruments.

I have been a customer of Lane’s for some years. One of my favorite people. He has a remarkable talent for finding fine vintage guitars in exemplary condition. His asking prices are fair & I have found him willing to negotiate on specific pieces. He’s careful in his packing & shipping & he gets back to me on questions pretty quickly, usually within 24 hrs or less. He’s knowledgeable about vintage instruments. And stays very up on where pricing trends are going for different segments in this rather volatile market. Have fun with your new guitar!

As a university professor celebrating 38 years in the classroom, l am often asked to provide letters of recommendation. Sometimes I find writing the letter a difficult task. Today, writing this letter is easy because I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Lane Comeaux. I am in a particularly good position to recommend Lane. Lane and I have been friends for 15 years, and that friendship started in my classroom. I immediately knew that Lane was destined for success, and l've been privileged to observe, and occasionally be a part of, his professional and personal journey.

You can evaluate Lane's academic background with a quick glance at his resume. His professional history is astonishingly strong. However, Lane has other qualities you won't see on his transcript or his resume. Lane will never fail to impress you with his commitment to integrity, reliability and honesty. These values described Lane at 18 years old, and l've seen him grow these attributes in his graduate education environment at USC.

I've known and worked with Lane for more than a decade, and I'm pleased to offer an unvarnished and highest recommendation on his behalf. I will never be surprised by anything Lane accomplishes. Have fun with your new guitar!

This was my first vintage guitar buying experience...especially with buying something as expensive as this gorgeous 68 Fender paisley telecaster...you can image the stress and anxiety associated with such a purchase ....Lane was outstanding right from the start with fantastic communication and answered any questions I had promptly. The guitar arrived safely and packaged well above my expectations and just as Lane described. Would I do business with Lane again? Absolutely 100% A++.
