What players say again and again
“I brought in a brand-new Jazzmaster to have it set up with some strap locks installed and a tiny spot in the finish buffed out.”
“His prices are very competitive, but where Rick really shines is in his expert knowledge of music and instruments, and his fanatical commitment to customer service.”
“I explained what I had been learning what difficulties I had and he helped me pick out a guitar that was reasonably priced and sized.”
“Rick spent the time to work with me (as I am a beginner) to learn and advise me, not sell.”
From the reviews
What a great experience!!! I've only been to Guitar Hanger to buy products then the nut on my 79 Strat broke off. The question was can they we trusted with my baby. Yes they can! Rick did an amazing job. It plays better than before. One day turn around time...amazing. The cost...amazing. The conversation after...
I've been utilizing the services here for years, dating back to a demo my high school band recorded back in '04 and just recently bought some bass cabs here. Not to mention the guitars I've bought and oodles of setups for my guitars and basses.
As a new guitar player I had been playing a borrowed one and have been researching what was good for me I decided to stop in and take a look and the gentleman who helped me was so kind and helpful.
Amazing collections to choose from. Amazing friendly and helpful staff. Fixed my guitar sooner than I expected and the service was amazing. I recommend Guitar Hangar, and lots of choices to choose from if you're looking for a new guitar.
Selling or trading gear at Guitar Hangar - Lessons, Rentals, Repairs, and More
Guitar Hangar - Lessons, Rentals, Repairs, and More comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Guitar Hangar - Lessons, Rentals, Repairs, and More
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Hangar - Lessons, Rentals, Repairs, and More. 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 and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
