Amy England

Amy England was just seven years old when she proudly sold her first set of guitar strings in her family’s Indianapolis music store. Her grandparents, Leola and Amos Arthur, had opened Arthur’s Music Store in the early 1950s, and it quickly became renowned worldwide for its impressive selection of stringed instruments. Amy eagerly learned the intricate art of instrument repairs and finish work from her grandfather, while listening to his captivating stories about famous customers and his involvement with the iconic Gibson Flying V #12, later owned by bluesman Joe Bonamassa. Amy’s career blossomed during the rise of the vintage guitar market, and her extensive knowledge of instrument history, combined with fascinating stories of their notable owners, became well recognized. As the Internet grew in promoting their beloved store, Amy's skills as a graphic designer flourished as well.
