Hidden Gems: Meet Shai Ashkenazi of Imperial Vintage Guitars

Today we’d like to introduce you to Shai Ashkenazi.

Hi Shai, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I immigrated to the U.S from Israel after finishing my army service and had worked many and multiple jobs in order to get by. I started selling guitars online as a side gig and ended up opening a Guitar shop in Burbank, CA with my business partner Tommy. We now own three locations in the Los Angeles area.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It is never a smooth road, but that’s what makes this journey interesting. Instead of looking at the bumps as struggles, I’ve taken them all as lessons which led to the current success of my business today.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Imperial Vintage Guitars?
