What's on the wall
“I got a new Gibson custom shop Les Paul r8 reissue here, and was treated well and got a great deal on an amazing instrument.”
“Brent and his team provided me with a stress free and calmed environment to select a new electric bass guitar.”
“The private test rooms with high quality amplifiers make a huge difference in making an informed decision.”
“For the bass comparison I used a Fender Rumble head and 212 cab, which sounded great and allowed me to really compare options.”
“Without pushing for a sale, the staff provides ample time to answer questions and even offered to adjust one of the basses in real time to accommodate my set up preferences.”
Brands they deal
“From well-known builders like Fender and Gibson to lesser-knowns but great quality like Nash and Reverend, there's something for everyone here.”

From the reviews
Would highly recommend checking out Guitar Riot's new location on Lorain Ave. Brought an amp in to be fixed and was blown away by the selection and quality of guitars on display. They even have dedicated playing rooms to test out anything of interest. Brent was super helpful and very knowledgeable.
I just received my dream guitar. A Gibson Les Paul 60th Anniversary 1959 and LEFT HANDED! Royal Teaburst. Gorgeous. Brent Ferguson and the team at Guitar Riot shipped this guitar to me in Florida. Guitar Riot was incredible to work with, answered all my questions, sent photos and the guitar arrived today.
Thank you Brent and Guitar Riot for getting the guitar of my dreams in my hands. As a lefty I'm forced to buy online and at the mercy of photographs and a sales persons opinions. These guys made every aspect of my purchase a positive experience.
I visited Guitar Riot for the first time on 3/9/22 and I was absolutely AMAZED! I have been searching locally for a Gibson Les Paul Standard and they had a few 50s Standard models in Stock! From the moment I walked into the door to the time I left, Brent and Brent were both awesome and super helpful!
