Welcome to Buffalo Tracks, our way of letting you know what’s happening with the herd. It could be a concert review, one of the Brothers on tour, or maybe an interesting experience with one of our ultra-cool customers. It could even be about YOU. Because you never know what might happen when wandering into Buffalo Bros...
THANKS SAN DIEGO!! For voting Buffalo Bros. #1 in the recent KGTV "A-List" poll. We're proud to have been chosen the "Best in San Diego"!!! |

A Buffalo Bros. Milestone! As most of you probably know, we first opened our business in 1971 as "The Guitar Shop" in Pasadena, California. It wasn't until 1993 that we got computers! With the advent of these electronic devices, our inventory system changed from our old standby 3x5 file cards to computer and each instrument received a stock # in consecutive numerical order. We recently received stock # 30000. That means that since 1993, we have sold over 30,000 guitars, banjos and mandolins, as well as the more unusual instruments such as Guitarras Portuguesas, hammer dulcimers, autoharps, and of course, ukuleles! |

In Loving Memory:
Our lost Buffalo Brother Mark Steib, who passed away the day before Christmas Eve 2005, was an excellent guitar player and one of the funniest people you'll ever hope to meet. Mark's always humorous running commentary on life is sorely missed by all of us who loved him. Here's a sample of Mark's work entitled Willow Street recorded by his good friend, Pat Chin. Mark was also well-liked by our celebrity customers such as Tom Wilson (above) who used to send him paintings.
