Nashville Musician Griffen Kranz to Auction Rare Vintage Guitar Collection on StringTree.co
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- StringTree.co, the trusted auction platform for vintage and collectible musical instruments, is proud to announce a special series of auctions from Nashville-based musician and newly launched dealer Griffen Kranz. Known for his work as a professional studio drummer and recording engineer, Kranz is now offering more than 20 rare guitars from his personal collection--each selected for its historic and musical significance--exclusively on StringTree.
The first auction launches today, April 8, with additional guitars released throughout April and May. Each item will run as a seven-day auction on www.StringTree.co, accompanied by detailed photography, history, and transparent bidding.
Highlights include an 1860s-1880s C.F. Martin 2½-17, a Civil War-era parlor guitar with Brazilian rosewood back and sides, and an exceptionally rare 1920s Gibson TG-0--a custom ordered and one-of-a-kind six-string build from Gibson's early jazz-age years.
"These guitars have value beyond the materials or the brand," said Kranz. "The story is the value. That's why I love having them around--it's not just about how they look or sound. It's about the history they carry."
He continued, "Having that history passed down through a platform like StringTree is awesome. I would hate to see a guitar with such a rich history just end up on a rack at a show where its story gets ignored. What StringTree is doing really builds the instruments up--and I think that's important for the culture."
