Below is an excerpt from his home page.........

"Thanks for visiting my page! I'm Charles Johnson of Richmond, Virginia, USA, and I buy, sell, trade, collect and play Gibson mandolins and Martin guitars, and the occasional zook, dobro, upright bass, Tele, etc. The following is a list of instruments that I have purchased or traded for over the last year or so. I do a lot of trading, and will consider just about any quality stringed instrument on trade (no pianos!). Prices are somewhat flexible on certain items, depending on the piece and how much I'm wanting something else I have my eye on! Digital images are available for all instruments - just click on the camera icon or the underlined name. Photographs are also available by regular mail.
Please look around and feel free to make a (hopefully reasonable) offer on anything listed. I always appreciate the chance to do some business, even if the deal doesn't work out. If you see something you like, email, fax, or call me between 7:00 and 10:00 pm eastern USA time zone weekdays or 12 noon until 10:00 PM on the weekend. Thanks!"
