Who We Are.
About Us
Welcome to Quimper Sound Records and Guitars, your one-stop destination for all things music in Port Townsend, Washington. Established with a passion for vinyl and a love for finely crafted guitars, we have been serving the music community with pride, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
The Guitar Store
The Guitar Store is located within Quimper Sound Records at 1002 Lawrence St, Port Townsend, WA, on the Olympic Peninsula. Guitars are photographed and many of our new guitars are stored securely off the sales floor in factory shipping boxes, ensuring that what you see is what you get. Our photos are unfiltered, captured with phone cameras for authenticity. We are authorized dealers for a variety of brands including Gibson, PRS, Larrivee, Tone King, Laney, Keeley, EHX, Ryra and many more!
Our Story
Quimper Sound started as a humble record store, dedicated to bringing the rich, warm sounds of vinyl to enthusiasts and collectors alike. Over the years, we have grown into a vibrant hub for music lovers, offering a curated selection of new and used vinyl records across various genres. Our dedication to preserving the art of analog sound has made us a beloved fixture in the Port Townsend community.
In 2024, we expanded our horizons by integrating The Seattle Guitar Store into our operations, bringing together the best of both worlds—vinyl records and high-quality guitars. Our new location at 1002 Lawrence St serves as the perfect blend of our passions, housing a diverse collection of guitars, both electric and acoustic, alongside our extensive vinyl selection. Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting your musical journey, we have something to inspire you.
