Who we are...
The Rock and Roll Emporium is the leading resource for those who want to live the "Rocker Lifestyle" and a major attraction for Downtown Huntington Beach, CA - Surf City USA. Known as “The RARE” the store deals in authentic autographs, memorabilia, fine guitars, collectibles and Rock & Roll inspired apparel and accessories from the most well respected artists in the world.

Our collectors live for Rock & Roll and are able to obtain autographs in person on a regular basis through relationships with industry insiders and the artists themselves, who also stop by the store regularly to contribute their own memorabilia. All of our items are authentic and we provide a history of the item, photos from the time of signing and/or Certificates of Authenticity for everything. If we don't believe it to be completely authentic, we won't sell it. It's as simple as that.

We deal only in officially licensed merchandise. Nothing we sell is manufactured without the approval of the artist. That means, everything we sell supports the artist's endeavors.  This is an important distinction in our merchandise. As the recording industry and new media continues to evolve, it is increasingly important to support the Artist, especially in commerce.
 
The bottom line is that every crew member is an active collector and avid Rock-n-Roll Fan. We love the stuff. We spend countless collecting the items you see on this site and in our store and we take great pride in being able to provide you - the fans - the best in Rock memorabilia, collectible merchandise and guitars.

How we got started...
A prominent Orange County business woman, an avid rock fan, decided to start a memorabilia business for her jobless boyfriend. Upon realizing that there is actual work involved, he split leaving her holding the bag - which included more than fifty autographed guitars, hundreds of signed photos, some gold and platinum record awards, a bunch of rare collectibles, boxes of concert tees and a warehouse full of other cool rocker stuff.

But, Rock & Roll just doesn't quit! So, one of her industry contacts recruited his wife and bunch of other rock and roll collectors and the store successfully opened late in the summer of 2004. Since then, the RARE has become a world-renowned dealer of historically significant Rock and Roll Memorabilia, Guitars and Collectibles.
