Great people, unmatched collection of vintage and used instruments at reasonable prices. No junk. This isn't just a bunch of used guitars. It's more like a curated collection where every instrument is cool, regardless of whether the price point is hundreds or thousands. There's nowhere else like it in NorCal.

This is in fact, a REAL guitar store. Cool stuff, cool staff, cool vibe. 10/10. It even smells right in there.

I went in to repair my guitar, and the folks informed me about a warranty on my guitar that I didn’t know existed, and suggested that I use another store affiliated with the manufacturer where I could get the repair done for far less money. I really appreciate the honesty, they could have easily taken the money and completed my service request. If I ever need another repair done, I will go here. People you can trust.

Fabulous guitar shop, and long time institution in S.F. for guitar and bass players. Numerous instruments, primarily vintage, and all sorts of interesting models can always be found here. A much better experience than going to some impersonal chain store, and you know who I mean, plus it's way better to see and play instruments rather than gambling on something you bought online. A rare breed of bricks and mortar boutique shop that has become sadly rare. This is a special place.
