Jonathan DeCoster: First time going to a GC. They had a large selection of products to choose from-I’m in the middle of rebuilding a schecter omen 6-they didn’t carry everything I needed to finish the job so that was a bust. But I did get a new one so 4 stars

Old Style Guitar Shop: what do users think?

Mads Jensen: Highly recommend finding and fixing your guitars here. In need of a rush order, they processes a swift and thorough fix.

Paul Broucek: Old Style was recommended to me a decade ago and I have been going to Reuben ever since with my various guitar strays and more mainstream guitars. People have commented that it’s the hip Silverlake spot. It’s not about being hip. It’s just unassumingly cool and Reuben is a prince of gentle chill. Thank you. 5 stars+

Jonathan Hinton: Installed pick-ups in my acoustic. Sounds great.

Jeff Block: Great customer service. Both friendly and helpful. Excellent assortment of instruments. My only gripe is that I would love to see some more basses. The tenor guitars are cool but it would be nice to see some appropriate oldstyle basses. Maybe a even a few mutes or sponges specify for basses. Just a though.Anyway, I will be back to pick up a guitar. Love the shop!

Cory McConnell: I used to live in the neighborhood and I always enjoyed swinging by and seeing the instruments they have here. Came through on a whim today and ended up leaving with one of their signature rubber-bridge builds. Thomas and Reuben are great- they talked me through a few different models, and they were patient while I took time to play them. Excited to record with my new OS guitar, and excited for future trips to the shop.

Alex Minney: Wish I could give them 6 stars. My go-to for setups and I recently purchased a rubber-bridge guitar for a friend that he LOVES. Also Tracy is so friendly and helpful!! Old Style for life ❤️

Corey Kniss: Old style did a great job setting up my Stratocaster and installing new pickups. It plays and sounds beautiful and was done within a week. Definitely recommend taking your guitar here.

j.d. garland: Incredible

Michael Chambers: Love this shop! I picked up a baritone acoustic guitar with rubber bridge installed. I’m a piano player and not very confident in my guitar playing abilities but I felt comfortable plugging in and testing out a few guitars before making a decision. Good vibes!

Sam Ash Music Stores: what do users think?

rene Sotelo Cortes: Very good in every sense of the word, I have been shopping at Sam Ash for 30 years and I congratulate them for their kindness and attention

Ryan Purcell: Great experience with the team in their Hollywood location. Talked to them on the phone, they said they’d call back with more info, and THEY DID! They’ve earned my business with their personal touch.

Wingspan Media: WingSpan Media has chosen Sam Ash as our go to place for all our audio needs. Wether it's getting help ordering a special part through their guitar tech Sal or the finding the right gear for our needs through Steve, it comes down to the professionalism of the staff at the West Hollywood store that has won us over as committed customers. Thanks Guys!

Brahm Genzlinger: I had a great experience here buying an acoustic guitar as a gift for a beginner. Mark was extremely knowledgeable and helped me find the perfect guitar that would be easy to play, smaller in size, stay in tune and sound good. He really listened to what different things I was looking for, and had the knowledge and care to recommend the perfect thing. He even steered me in a better direction than I was originally thinking without ever being pushy in the least. I highly recommend talking to Mark Chulick at this location.

Arafat Hossain Shuvo: Bought my first saxophone. Great experience. Marvin was awesome

GUCCI TOO LIT: Jose hooked me up with a sweet guitar, wasn’t sure on getting it but he made the sale for me. Sal is excellent too.Top of the line shop

L.A. Guitar Sales: what do users think?

Lynn Stanley: , these guys actually know what they're talking about and give you one-on-one attention. You really can't go wrong here.

jleus00: I’m a repeat customer and highly recommend Ted and Helene when making any guitar purchase. They both have always treated me right and their deals are unbeatable. The latest purchase is the best yet, I’m thoroughly enjoying my new Taylor GT, the koa is amazing! Thanks again

EDWARD H0WELL: I just Purchased an Eastman SB59 in Sun Burst....Ted and Helene could not have been more helpful in making it happen ....3 days from point of purchase and it was at my door....Free delivery and a price I couldn't pass up...For the money it surpasses Gibson in terms of Quality and sound...Ted is a walking wealth of Guitar knowledge and is so easy to talk to and make a buy....I could not say enough about the service and reasonable pricing on the guitar in question...Eastman SB59, a fantastic guitar... Thanks Ted and Helene!

Clark Ilagan: Just want to say thank you to Ted and Helene for an awesome customer service. They helped me with the whole process in purchasing my McPherson Carbon Fiber Sable Honey Comb Blackout Edition guitar and answered all my questions. On top of that they put together a great deal package for me!!!Highly recommended, two thumbs up and 5 Star rating!!! I would come back and and buy another guitar from them.

Arthur Strand: Very Helpful! I called to get information on a custom Martin that I was considering purchasing that originally came from their shop. I was super impressed with the gentleman's knowledge and courteousness as the person who was selling the guitar was the exact opposite. Thank-you! I am so sorry I've forgotten your name, but thank-you so much for your true kind and helpful spirit!

Roland Correa: I bought two high end guitars from Ted and the experience was wonderful. Very helpful and courteous. I’ll be back in the near future.

Josh Martin: and I work full-time.When I finally made it in, they let me play the guitars I was interested in. Low-pressure sales situation. Still can’t believe the deal I got on this brand new Martin. They know a ton about the brands they carry. They walked me through registering the warranty with Martin, which I did as soon as I got home. I am thrilled to own this guitar and can’t thank LA Guitar Sales enough. Highly recommend doing business with them.

EveningCrow: Beautiful shop!Stopped by to check out some guitars. When I showed up they already had the models I was interested in set up for playing. Had a tuner and picks available, and the guitars had fresh strings on them. I was told to let them know if I had any questions or wanted to check out any other instruments. After some back and forth between guitars, I decided on one of their custom Martin 000-15M. There was no rush or pressure. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Their stock is very impressive!Just make sure to set up an appointment in advance and let them know what models you're interested in.

Georg Pörtsch: Awesome experience, super welcoming and professional service. We felt very comfortable and had a great time. Just remember to call ahead and make an appointment.

Erik Powell: Ordered one of their custom shop Martins. They were a pleasure to deal with, answered all of my questions, and the guitar arrived safely without issue. Very happy with my new Martin.

José Benito Martínez Jr.: New year 2019 brings a new guitar. I had a very pleasant exchange on a new Eastman guitar today January 2 with LA Guitar Sales. The presentation was my pick of two guitars of the same model. Played them both and made the decision with beautiful E1D. Price was agreed, warranty card, last check guitar check and off to casa Martinez. A very satisfied customer! Thank you!

Bahadir Turan: Very reliable store. They did reasonable discount on cash payment I sent money from far away LA than they marked it as sold and about three weeks later my brother in law pick it up from the store. It was exactly what it is as I saw in their online store. My suggestion is just follow up their gear list in their online store and hit the bullseye. Reliable store and owners..

Tim Winzeler: guitars and a long history if expertise regarding them.Finally their prices are exceedingly fair compared to other shops.The is truely a gem of a guitar store.

D Anthony: Very knowledgeable staff

David: Pleasant sales process and great experience for me, thus far. Purchased a guitar today received great information from them over the phone, which confirmed my decision. I plan to update this review later once my guitar has arrived.

Laurie Davidsohn-Bienstock: We love L.A. Guitar Sales!! They have served our family well for many years. The owners take excellent care of their huge guitar collection which includes new and used and if you have the opportunity to visit their shop on Sunset, you might get lost in there for several hours.

Marina Music Center: what do users think?

Victoria Angel Heart: An amazing guitar tech really helped me out in a pinch. Thank you!

Gerardo González m: Perfect very fast

Margo Messenger: Adjusted, restrung and well taken care of, my friend’s guitar is ready to rock. The owner, Alex, will explain the mechanics of music in a geometric way that will blow your mind. 🎶📐🎹

B: These guys are quick, fairly priced, and care about instruments. I will be coming here for every set up I need in the future, even despite the drive from Hollywood. Too many music stores around here are impersonal and leave me feeling like I didn't get the best service. This isnt a guitar center, so dont expect to walk in and have some fun without buying anything. They're serious which means they are serious about their work! A+

Jordan Zlotolow: I will be doing a lot of business here in the future. I feel at home in this store and the owner helped me find my lost wallet next door. He is a real man.

Conrad Ohashi: Just FYI — I went today and the shop is semi-closed until August 18, 2023 for owner vacation, except for guitar setups. Good business owners take vacations, so I give the store 5 stars.

Neil Gershon: Great work and great service. Got my guitar fixed and it only took a few days. The owner was very nice as well.

Hector Encalaca: Very cool shop!

Rik Greenberg: I have bought several musical equipment over there.

Paul Jimenez: I came in knowing nothing about electric guitars, and Alex helped find the perfect fit for me. He was super helpful throughout the whole process and I highly recommend!

nicole suber: I dropped my guitars off before the pandemic... Needless to say, they were gone, but they replaced them for a good price! Thank you!

Jonathan Gording: This is the real deal. Alex is a wealth of information. It's what a music shop is supposed to look like, with stuff everywhere and gems all over. Check it out.

Older Guy: This is the spot.

Terrence Wilde: Best in the game without a doubt. Got my guitars playing like I never thought they could. ✊🏼🎸

Nova: Awesome guy. I handed him a cheap 50$ guitar that played terribly and after he did setup the difference is astounding. Plus he has the friendliest cat in the world

Jacob Gutierrez: Mike did amazing work on my Fender Strat. Affordable price and same day turn around. He loves what he does and it shows.

Kyle McDonald: I took an ancient Stella Harmony parlor guitar from the 60s to Michael, and he brought it back to life. Fast work, great price, and he was incredibly informative throughout the whole process. I learned a bunch.

Yifei Huang: Very quick and professional. Made my guitar much easier to play with reasonable price.

SkylerGoHome: i brought a brand new fender to Mikaleno for a set-up and when i got it back it was an even better guitar! with his same day turnaround, passion and attention to detail, i will definitely be returning and recommending the shop to guitar players

Mike Gonek: So happy I took my guitars to Mikaleno. He’s the real deal. Beyond his decades of experience, he’s a perfectionist, and puts it all into every instrument that he touches. He got 2 of my guitars from terrible and basically unplayable, to feeling so incredible… it’s wild!! From now on, I’m only taking my guitars to him. Guitar center is for the peasants

Mike Silverman: My 4th setup by Mikaleno. You will not find better service and you will not find a better price. He does amazing work and takes whatever you’re playing to its fullest playing potential.

Michael Carian: Michael is an absolute champ and very connected with the work. Feels like he's putting in the same amount of effort he would for himself. He Turned my Squire Bass into something that Felt like a Fender Custom Shop. He's my set up guy in LA from now on for sure.

G Delgado: Абсолютно лучший
