What's on the wall
“Check out his custom tele’s - they’re great and it would be tough to find a better value for what you’re getting.”
“He asked me fine points about setup details - like whether I wanted to leave the trem as floating slightly even with the string gauge change.”
“Great experience- Guitar lessons have been informative and I am progressing faster than I thought possible .”
“We recorded down in Nashville, TN earlier this year and Route 7 Music's repair shop got our guitars and banjo setup and ready to record.”

From the reviews
I've been playing guitar for a long time, but felt I was stuck in a rut. Only three lessons later from Route 7 later and I can already notice a big difference in my playing. Not teaching to a particular style, Phil's helped to expand my fluency on the fretboard and my options of "stuff that works".
Great music shop! Solid selection, good prices, and very friendly staff who all have musical experience. My favorite music store by far!
This place is great. Their instructors are knowledgeable, funny. It's a warm, active place. My boyfriend has had guitar lessons with Phil (owner), and been taking singing lessons from Pat for years. His kids have been taking guitar and drum lessons from Phil and Gary for at least 10 years.
I brought a recently-bought, used strat to Phil for a general tune-up. He did a wonderful job. First of all, he listened to what I wanted. He asked me fine points about setup details - like whether I wanted to leave the trem as floating slightly even with the string gauge change.
Lessons at Phil's Guitar Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Phil's Guitar Shop. 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.
