Super vibey Star Wars themed guitar store. The amount of SW memorabilia alone is worth a visit and the shop is full of musical oddities for any enthusiast. Plenty of great instruments at all price points.

Warning to anyone buying from this seller through Reverb. Please do not let what happened to me happen to you. Guitar Wars knowingly bait and switched me on a Roland JC 120 amplifier. The price seemed fair enough and the picture seemed to match the description, however, the amp I received was a far cry from either. It arrived in an unsalvageable old furniture box, poorly packed, and absolutely beat to death. The model JC 120 that was delivered was not the same amplifier as the one advertised. It was hardly functional, the cabinet was cracked and tattered, channels popping and fizzing and knobs mostly not functioning. On top of that, it was filthy. Anyone who has ever played through a JC 120 knows that these are heavy amps that require casters to move them in any reasonable fashion. While pictured with the clean amp in the listing (the one that I did not receive), the tattered and battered model that was delivered to me did not have them. So here I am, essentially stuck with a useless burned out shell of a JC 120 that’s basically immovable by one person without a hand truck. See pictures below. Guitar Wars knowingly scammed me out of $800+, don’t let it happen to you. Please keep in mind, this did not happen in shipping. This was very much orchestrated intentionally. The amp was listed in “Good” condition. Please find a few images of the actual listing they posted below the images of the box. *****update****** Guitar Wars admitted fault and provided refund.

It's one of the best guitar shops around. Real nice owner. A super humble person. If you're a Star Wars fan, then this is the place to go. If you're not a Star Wars fan, you should still go. He has everything at reasonable prices.

Wow, this place is awesome. It was a total happy accident that we found it. Carlos was super friendly and very hospitable. We came for my husband and normally music stores are all the same for me but Guitar Wars was a very pleasant surprise. My daughter and I were totally engaged in all the Star Wars stuff while my husband could enjoy the wide assortment of guitars and gear. A must see place if you love guitars or Star Wars!

Really diverse selection of mostly used equipment. Old and new, some good or interesting finds. The staff was friendly and helpful. The store has star wars themed decor throughout--not just a poster or millennium falcon model here and there, but really well done doors, panels, counters with lights and effects built in and hiding all over the place, some was near movie set quality. It's a fun visit. There's quite a bit of stuff around, so you have to look hard to find the gems. The strip mall it's in had a very sketchy feel, but I'm glad I went in.
