Welcome to the Majestic Guitars web page. My name is Anthony Marchitelli and I'm a guitar builder/repairman from New Jersey. The Majestic Musical Instrument Company was originally started in 1900 by my great grandfather Gaetano(Thomas) Puntolillo. Although the company originally started with mandolins and became more known for tenor banjos, I build mostly acoustic and electric guitars which are available at Golden Age Fretted Instruments in Westfield as well as The Guitar Bar in Hoboken.

In 2008, after being located in Hoboken for 8 years, I've decided to relocate the my shop to Caldwell due to space concerns.
