About Us
Our Story
WelcomeGuitars was founded in 2000 by Antonio Silvestro, driven by a deep passion for Wandrè guitars — the rare, visionary instruments crafted by Marchetti in the 1950s and '60s. What began as a personal obsession evolved into one of the most trusted vintage instrument shops in the world.
Based in Afragola, near Naples, Antonio spent over two decades building deep expertise in the vintage guitar market, developing relationships with collectors, luthiers and musicians across Japan, the United States and Europe.
Today, WelcomeGuitars is recognised as a Reverb Preferred Seller — a mark of the trust and transparency our customers have come to expect from every transaction.
