What's on the wall
“Yesterday, about 15 years after my first time through the door of the old Monte Vista location, luck caught up with me and I was able to buy an amazing acoustic guitar.”
“They have an amazing array of used guitars, as well as new guitars from starter to professional level.”
“I can attest that the luthier who works out of this shop one day a week does excellent work and charges a fair price for his services.”
“We are visiting Albuquerque for the flamenco festival and I had to go find the specific soft sounding flamenco guitar for the lessons I’m taking.”
“Wanted to grab a new tail piece for my banjo, and I'm lucky they had a great one in stock.”
Brands they deal
“Thanks for non judge mentally letting me play loads of Martin, Gibson, Collings, Bourgeois, Santa Cruz and others for 15 years before I was able to finally make a purchase!”
What players say again and again
“I can attest that the luthier who works out of this shop one day a week does excellent work and charges a fair price for his services.”
“His knowledge of instrument design/ construction (and the history behind it) takes the shopping experience to an educational level not found in most musical instrument stores.”
“Also, there are lessons available, which are amazing….”
“Their staff were highly knowledgeable and so kind and patient with my teen guitar player.”
From the reviews
When I lived in Albuquerque, Guitar Vista was one of my favorite shops to spend time in. I would come in and play everything including stuff I couldn’t afford and Stan was never bothered by me and was very encouraging.
This is the only guitar shop my late husband and I ever shopped. Stan was always fair, professional, and kind. His vast knowledge of guitars, and amps will benefit you. He played in a band giving him knowledge beyond a regular store owner. If you’re looking to buy a guitar or sell one go to Guitar Vista.
We are visiting Albuquerque for the flamenco festival and I had to go find the specific soft sounding flamenco guitar for the lessons I’m taking. We found Guitar Vista through the internet and it was a JACKPOT (then turned out everyone we spoke to knows this shop and it’s their go to place!).
Stan is a pleasure to deal with. His knowledge of instrument design/ construction (and the history behind it) takes the shopping experience to an educational level not found in most musical instrument stores. I found the prices reasonable. And the selection... an amazing inventory for such a small footprint!
