From the reviews

These guys are Luthiers not guitar techs. They have set up, repaired and modified most of my guitars. If you want a mediocre guitar to play like a custom shop you bring it here for a set up. If you have a custom shop (I do) and want it to play and sound like a grail guitar, you bring it here.

★★★★★ — Branden, Jun 2026

So glad Gabriel brought his long-lived luthier business here from Phoenix! Gabriel's Guitars is centrally located on Monroe Street (with off street parking). He's very customer-oriented and does nice work. He helped me by attaching a custom-made pick guard (from another craftsman) to my brand new mandolin.

★★★★★ — Anne, Sep 2025

Gabe is my go-to guy for most of my guitar needs. Really friendly personable dude who is great at communicating everything relating to your instrument. Also more than willing to talk all things guitars with you. Has done amazing finish work on my guitar, and just overall a great dude and a neat shop.

★★★★★ — Bret, Nov 2024

Michael took care of my Squier tele without even being judgemental 😉. He put it together for me and strung it up and did a great setup. This is a very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable shop. Prices are very reasonable. A+++++ Thanks!

Lessons at Gabriel's Guitars

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Gabriel's Guitars. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
