From the reviews
First time st this magnificent place. The building itself is so beautiful as astone work and wooden structure. Guitars line the walls of one room where students work on making their instruments. Easy parking and handicapped accessible with easy means of getting to your seat.
This place is not only an amazing guitar building school, but also a concert venue. It fosters community building through as series of open mic concerts, and other events. A great venue for touring bands to stop in as well, offering a professional stage, sound system, and two very gracious hosts, Ariel & Dan.
Thee Kindest People in the Musical Instrument Business...Situated in the Old Pump House in Peace Dale RI It's a great place to visit, design your own musical instrument with a very patient and pleasant staff. Now with Liquor license you can enjoy a beverage while you make music. Or dream of building your new axe.
Loving what is happening at Pump House Music Works & Shady Lea Guitars. Dan and Ariel have taken the "Old Closed Restaurant" from darkness to light. There is such a great vibe here. Thank you for all that you have done for the live local music scene. Love you guys.
Selling or trading gear at Pump House Music Works
Pump House Music Works comes up for buying and trading used gear, going by their listing and players’ reviews. 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.
