From the reviews
Ravenhouse is not only the coolest guitar store imaginable, it’s also a place where your creativity will be fostered and your musical journey will be elevated. I do not have the words to properly express the impact that Grace and Rob have had on my various musical endeavors as well as on my life.
I’ve been playing music and going into guitar shops for more than 40 yrs. I live in VT but frequent Claremont and Lebanon often and the area has been a little void of actual “guitar /musician shops” for a long time. This is an ACTUAL guitar shop. The place is beautiful inside, extremely inviting and comfortable.
I found them recently and went in just to look and was pleasantly surprised and happy to find such a great little store. I returned a couple times and found myself engaged in conversations with Rob. I got a couple small items and found his understanding of guitar gear to be very helpful.
Stopped by with my partner and our son, and we didn't want to leave! The store itself is beautifully decorated and set up. The selection of guitars and other instruments is wonderful. Rob let my 8 year old try out a ukulele, we ended up buying it, and my son is obsessed with playing it!
Selling or trading gear at Ravenhouse Guitar
Ravenhouse Guitar 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 Ravenhouse Guitar
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Ravenhouse Guitar. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
