The mainstay Dallas guitar shop attracts musicians new and legendary from all over the world.
“To me, finding the guitar, acquiring it, is the challenge, but it's also the best part of it, as opposed to unfortunately having to sell them to make money,” he says. “It’s what we all live for.”
Hinson resides in Dallas now, a place he says has “a pretty strong respect and support for new musicians and new artists." “The most famous one is Lee Harvey Oswald with an Elvis mic,” he says. “David Crosby said to me that my T-shirts are legendary.” “Since I met him, I started working [at Killer Vintage Specialty Guitars] basically since they opened, off and on,” says Snyder. “It’s the only real vintage shop in Dallas proper.”“It’s got a bunch of guitars that a bunch of people have probably never seen, you know, in their lives,” Snyder says. “It’s small and welcoming. One of Dave’s favorite things to say to people is, ‘This ain’t no museum,’ whenever they come in there. They always ask if they can touch the guitars or play the guitars.
“A lot of my business is dealing with successful artists,” Hinson says. “I really like the idea of helping the unknowns become successful artists.”“I can’t imagine where we’d be without [Hinson],” says Ron Wilson, owner of Louie Louie’s Piano Bar and founder of Boarded Up Music. “I can't even speak highly enough about [Killer Vintage Specialty Guitars]. Dave’s donated not only equipment for the bands to use, but also last night he donated a guitar.
