Tommy’s Guitar Shop

Would be a decent guitar shop if it wasn’t ran by a couple of douchebags. Took my $ 1500 guitar in for nut replacement and a setup. When I got there, the older guy/“tech” looked at it for 5 seconds and said «Send it back! Get it replaced! I’m not going to let you pour money into this thing!»… so I took it somewhere else and had a nut replacement and setup done for $ 125 and now it plays and sounds amazing! Shows that the tech at Tommy’s either doesn’t know what he’s talking about… or he’ll tell people to return stuff that he doesn’t feel like working on that day.
Then, there’s the other guy…
The younger guy who acts like he’s the licensed rock god of all things guitar related. Arrogant little turd who always has to argue and get the last word in… and then act like he misunderstood you when you prove him wrong. You dont treat customers this way. Not good business etiquette.

My son wanted a light blue ukulele. I called ahead to make sure in stock after seeing the blue dolphin makala online on their website. Service was great. They let my son sit and play the ukulele for a while. My son loves his blue uke!

. I’ve been coming here for many years I’ve purchased guitars and had several repairs done and all had been done completely well and above my satisfaction until. Saturday I came in to make a simple repair which I called about and got quoted one price now I know prices of things can change once you see them in person but a 60 dollar repair doesn’t become $ 250. And before he said $ 250 he said 145 at least which was completely Ludacris. The guitar tech was rude. Then I mentioned the fact that the price seems a little high and I called another place and their price was almost $ 200 less and he said snidely maybe we should step our game up. Not only has they lost me as a repair customer but I will never shop there for anything it’s a shame because they do have some good stuff in there but with crappy service that I received you can be sure I will never go there again

Dude, this place is awesome. I come here every week for my lessons and they are awesome. Every time I come in for something else too the guys working in the store are super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Tommy is pretty dang cool too. The wildest thing is he has this big jar of his custom picks. Although they have a good selection of the normal brands and you can buy them individually (unlike some other places), the custom ones that have the shop’s name on them are the best. Honestly. I’ve bought collections of them and sent them to a friend in LA. He agreed.
When I am ready to get an electric, I’m definitely coming to see these guys.

Tommy’s Guitar Shop has been my go-​to guitar place for years. The staff is knowledgable, experiences, and kind. I feel that my business is appreciated. They are willing to answer questions and talk about guitars, pedals, electronics, etc. and I have learned a lot from conversations with them.

Knowledgeable friendly staff who do ot make you feel like an idiot because they know more than you. Good selection.

The crew here are friendly, and they do a good job setting up the instruments for that good first impression. I purchased a 2004 Gibson Standard double cutaway here a few months ago. It was priced pretty high, but the instrument was in very good condition, and was exactly what I wanted. They even worked with me on the price somewhat, so I walked away happy. Recently I just needed some strings, and their prices were lower than the big internet sites.
They have a good selection of guitars in the shop at a wide price range. Something for every budget, but something that will play well from what I saw. I will give these folks a shot before I hit the big box outlets. You know, buy local, support small biz…

I went to Tommy’s today while I was on a Seattle area guitar store road trip with a friend of mine. I was quite excited to check this place out because of all the rave reviews. They had a few interesting guitars. One of them caught my eye. It was a Grffin. The red one. I asked about it and the salesman proceeded to go on about them how great they are and they’re hand built by one of the only «true» master luthiers. I then asked if I could try it out since he thought so highly of it. He said it was too «difficult to get down». I guess it was because he is very short and it was on the top rack. I initially brushed it off thinking he wasn’t serious but he was. I guess he doesn’t think that a guy in his 20s can afford such a guitar. I play PRS, Dr. Z and Splawn so I am no stranger to high ticket items. He just lost a potential customer and cost this place a poor review. Someone needs to tech this guy a thing or two about customer service. Not cool.

I was working on a project in Everett and needed some random parts. These guys were super kind and went out of their way to help me find what I needed.

Didn’t find what I was looking for, but the staff here is super friendly.
I was in something of a hurry myself, but the staff never rushed me and were completely cool about touching, playing and plugging in whatever I wanted to check out.
If you are in Everett and like guitars I would totally recommend checking this place out.
My one annoyance was they advertise carrying G&L but have only a couple USA made ones.
I think they have a great selection of pedals and amps.
Definitely will visit again.

Very friendly & quick! My husband broke a string on his guitar & Tommy suggested new strings based on his level & instantly started restringing it. We were out of the shop in about 10 min and for a great price!

I loved Tommy’s! I had just mourned the loss of my keyboard and was searching to pick up a guitar. My first guitar experience left me very frustrated but I knew I had made a mistake in the purchase. I went to a Guitar Center and they just sold me a box kit as fast as they could then sent me on my way. Huge disaster. This time around I did a bunch of research picked up few guitars and brough a friend who guided me. Found what I liked in the sound, and feel. After learning what to look for I found that Tommy’s to be the most valuable. Not only was everything set up beautifully, Tommy the owner was helpful along with his staff. I bought my ESP LTD 256 Goldtop and amp there. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the people behind the counter. You can tell they care about what they sell, instead of caring about just making a sale. I’ll be taking my business there in the future.

There are some nice guitars in here but overall the selection is just OK. I didn’t see anything less than 2000 bucks that was anything fantastic or special.
The staff were very friendly and I’m sure that if I came here on a regular basis I would be able to pick up a good deal… all guitar shops have them eventually!

Best selection of pedals I have found in the state. Cool staff. They carry almost the entire lineup of Catalinbread effects. I highly recommend these guys for any pedal guru.

Been doing business with Tommy for about 5 years now… He and his staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable… Even when I’m just picking up strings or an odd piece of hardware, I get their full attention… The shop work on any guitar is top notch and fair priced… I always look forward to visiting Tommy’s…If I lived closer I would be in there bugging them everyday… Do yourself a favor and stop in and meet Tommy and check out the selection of vintage guitars… You wont be disappointed !..

Love Tommy. Love his shop. Tommy is knowledgeable and VERY friendly. ALWAYS ask or speak to Tommy personally, as I have noticed some of the employees are not quite as well versed. Good as it gets here!

great shop, great people, friendly atmosphere and very knowledgeable. Support the little shops and stay away from the attitude of the big chains. You might just enjoy yourself and learn something in the meantime!

Best boutique guitar shop in Everett. Has G&L Vox Fender vintage great pickups Breedlove and a REALLY GOOD selection of boutique pedals. they also do set ups for about $ 45. also will do trades for good gear fairly. Dont skip on these guys.
Update: I traded my amps in here for a nice Vox Handwired amp. They trades are fairly steep since they need to make a profit so be prepared to get less than what you would get online, but you’ll get money/​trade value right then and there. Also, Tommy does mods on Pedals too. He fixed up my ProCo Rat real nice. You have to supply materials but he does good work.

Friendly, small but excellent local guitar shop, a lot of product crammed into a small space. A nice selection of vintage and higher quality guitars line the walls. Also a decent selection of contemporary affordable entry level guitars. Prices are realistic and reflect discounted prices found at the major GC chain. Very knowledgeable staff. Nice selection of accessories, pedals, amps. I think the best thing about this shop is the people that work here are truly friendly, no attitude of any sort here (I really like that they greet you when you enter and make the effort if possible to say goodbye).
