Working musicans that focus on customer satisfaction
Brady Seals, owner
Capitalizing on his love and vast knowledge of musical instruments, Grammy nominee and No. 1 hit singer/songwriterBrady Seals launched Music City Pickers in 2010, a company specializing in the buying and reselling of vintage and newer high-end musical instruments. What initially started as a hobby for Seals, a founding member of legendary country group Little Texas grew into an investment opportunity for him when he combined his experience and passion to buy and sell vintage and high-end musical instruments. His guitar shop is located in Franklin, TN.
Regarding Music City Pickers, "This company acts as the middleman," comments Seals. "Based on our research, we'll tell you the market value for your instrument and then make a fair offer where both Music City Pickers and the seller feel good about the purchase".
Music City Pickers has had the opportunity to be apart of country music history. Seals explains, "I was lucky enough to stumble upon Keith Whitley’s personal touring guitar, a Martin Sigma, which was later purchased from us by Chris Young". "Chris performed Keith’s classic hit, “Don’t Close Your Eyes” with Keith's guitar on the Grand Ole Opry". "It was classic"!
Some of Seals' latest clients include Dave Haywood of “Lady Antebellum”, John Prine, Kasey Musgraves (feature article in AcousticGuitar.com), Sam Palladio from the cast of “Nashville”, Bucky Baxter (steel player for Bob Dylan), and CCM band "Reliant K”. Music City Pickers is proud to have also brokered instruments for friends such as John Oates of Hall & Oates, Rodney Crowell, and world renowned musician, songwriter and collector Gordon Kennedy.
