Kit Simon - Owner
Originally from Indiana, Kit’s long career in the vintage guitar industry started when he partnered with “Banjo” Bob Anderson in 1991, becoming sole proprietor in 1992. The store then moved two years later to its current location on Grandview Ave, and “Uncle Kit'“ has been moving and shaking in the world of Colorado guitar ever since. An avid fan and player of Swing Jazz, Uncle Kit collects vintage archtops, amongst many things, and has a fairly substantial collection of vintage Epiphones.
As Kit would say, “pick it solid!”
