What's on the wall
“Wonderful experience beginning to end dealing with the folks at Acoustic Shoppe, especially the ever patient Jonas who was my sales rep and who answered all of my many (too many!”
“It’s rare to come across a store that combines expert service with such a personal touch.”
“I know times have changed with pricing compared to the last time I went to an online dealer, hence why the companies I used to deal with are no longer in business.”
“And the instrument, well it was set up perfectly and sounds and plays wonderfully.”
“I have purchased 2 Eastman guitars, a mandolin, a Martin 000 and my latest is a beautiful Boucher BG52, and I could not be happier with the instruments I have purchased from them.”
“I have Elliot Capos, but bought this one because my teacher had one and liked it and I needed a brass capo to go with the frets had on my Martin D28 Modern Deluxe.”

What players say again and again

From the reviews
If you play acoustic guitar then you have going your home away from home. There are famous guitar stores in Nashville and famous guitar stores in Santa Monica, but I love this little teeny store in Missouri.
I’ve been shopping/browsing at The Acoustic Shoppe for several years but made my first instrument purchase from them yesterday. Corey was a big help as I looked at guitars last week then John helped me when I went back yesterday to make my purchase. My only issue…..
I recently purchased a Lowden F-32 and O-23 from The Acoustic Shoppe. I have never bought an acoustic guitar online before this. As someone who obssessivley cares for my guitars, I was a little nervous. Let me tell you, the quality of customer service I received from Corey and the team was truly exceptional!
I had an absolutely outstanding experience with The Chapman’s Acoustic Shoppe. I recently purchased a Gibson Hummingbird guitar as a high school graduation gift for my daughter, and the team went above and beyond in every way.
Selling or trading gear at The Acoustic Shoppe
The Acoustic Shoppe 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.
