Guitar Gallery

The only place I take my bass for repairs and set ups. Friendly, reliable, and quick.

Guitar Gallery Rocks! While our band was on tour, my guitar player broke a nob essential to playing. We have been through A LOT to get to AZ and we had to scramble to find a place to fix Bryan’s guitar on a Sunday when no guitar techs are in. David Ayers came in on his day off and saved the day! Now we can play our gig at The Rogue Bar tonight! Thank you Nick for all your help! ~WWM

The place to go in the valley if you’re looking for a guitar or bass (or service on either). Guitar Center may have more stuff on the wall, but the guys here know what they’re talking about.

Very friendly staff. Small shop usually with some cool stuff. I have bought a lot of accessories from them over the years. Always very helpful.

Incredible selection of guitars and pedals. Don’t let the size of this shop sway you from going because they have packed it full of great gear. They are also the only shop in town I have found that sells Strymon pedals which was a big deal for me. Thanks again!

I’ve been buying products from this store for well over ten years. This is the best guitar shop in scottsdale, period. Staff is very helpful and their prices beat guitar center almost every time. Their guitar repair is fair priced and excellent quality.

Overdue review from December 2013.
Our old luthier has passed away. In preparation for a family jam over the holidays we needed a luthier to replace strings on several guitars, repair an Ovation and a setup on a new guitar.
We searched chat rooms and online reviews for a recommendation. They were friendly and reasonable. We are very satisfied and highly recommend their services!

Currently taking lessons from Nick O. And having a blast learning how to play guitar. Nick is great at determining how well I’ve progressed through the week and through practice. Very talented guitarist and very skilled instructor.

Small little gem tucked in the back of the shopping center. Obviously the selection isn’t as big as Guitar Center, but the quality is much better. Nice staff, good prices, highly recommend.

Pretty small outfit, but the great staff fill the space with a selection of electric and acoustic guitars, and more importantly their knowledge and skill. You’ll see a slew of recently-​repaired guitars, waiting for pickup — a testament to their abilities and fair prices.
I dropped of a hand-​me-​down guitar for a set-​up, hopeful that was all that the old gal needed. A non-​rushed order, they called me a two days later (one of the days was a holiday, even!) to let me know she was indeed in poor shape and I’d be better off buying new than spending unnecessarily on a crappy guitar.
I ended up getting a new guitar elsewhere (no negative on them… I’m just cheap and went the online/​no-​tax route. However, my new shiny geetar needs a setup, and I know just the place.
They also give lessons, I believe, but I did not inquire during any of visits. That’s not to say I won’t…anyone who has heard me play knows I’m in great need of more expert advice and tips!
Please, please, please, please, please spend your money here rather than Guitar Center. That place is insanely horrible.

Great selection, great prices, and great staff — what’s not to love?
I recently dropped off my family at the nearby mall and drove over to the Guitar Gallery. I had seen their website listed as a Reverend dealer and wanted to check out their selection. The shop was a little hard to find, and in an unexpected area (back of strip mall, not visible from the street), but worth the effort to locate. Parking was very easy.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I found out later that they don’t work on commission, which I think always helps the attitude. I wish they did work on commission though, as I would have liked to reward my salesguy with some moolah. He recommended a great Strat that I ended up purchasing.
They seem to have about 30 each of electric and acoustic guitars, and a few random other items like ukeleles. While they may not stock as much product as Guitar Center, *everything* there is top-​notch. I was like a kid in a candy store! Or more accurately, a middle-​aged dude in a botique guitar shop. :) I must have played at least half their electrics that day.
It took me a while to decide, but I did finally buy a guitar. The staff never pressured me to purchase, and were efficient when I did decide to buy. They even called the store owner at home to see if they could give me a better deal on the guitar I was buying. Now that’s some impressive service! I ended up getting the brand-​new Strat for $ 150 less than Guitar Center has it for on their site, so I’m more than satisfied with that deal.

Smaller store, but friendly, helpful service, and some good deals as well! I bought my Boss tuner here and it was cheaper than Guitar Center! They have a different selection of guitars than most joints, so its worth it stop on in every once in a whiole to check it out. Strange location in a 70’s-like outdoor mall, but its kind of funky-​cool in a way!

This is one of the coolest guitar shops I’ve been to. The dudes at the store are very knowledgable and are great about sharing knowledge when it comes to guitars and amps. They also have a Fender Authorized guitar tech on staff. I highly recommend this great Scottsdale guitar shop for buying guitars for on-​going maintenance. They also give guitar lessons.
