Gravity Strings

Really can’t say enough good things about Gravity Strings. They’ve done some work for me on various instruments; always top-​notch repairs. I recently took a Gibson mandolin from 1916 that had developed a crack in the top in for a repair. As always, great work and It now plays better than when I took it in.

They always take great care of their customers and have knowledgeable staff with real world experience. a stl staple

Took my Les Paul Studio to Gravity Strings for a nut replacement and full setup. I thought it sounded good before, but when they were done with it it sounded incredible! I’ll be taking my Partscaster in for a setup when I’m done with it. Friendly staff, too!

Got some strings from this place. Competitive prices. Cool selection of instruments. Probably the only music store in the city, location is easy. Highly recommended. Street parking.

J Gravity has been in business for YEARS. And with good reason. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They always have a great selection of new/​used higher end amps/​guitars and the guys there are always willing to answer any questions. I dig just stopping in for some accessories and checkin out what they have in stock.
NOTE: If you dig that old store vibe, this place is IT. It just has a cool vintage store vibe while it sells new amps and guitars. Definitely a place for players, but beginners will find it exciting as well.

Always a pleasure to work with Gravity Strings. Great customer service, top notch repair work, and the vibe of the store is awesome. Definitely a player’s store.

A true musician’s friend!
After a long hiatus from music, I had decided to start playing out again. Honestly, it’s an exciting time to be playing original music again. However, gear takes its share of wear and tear as it sits. If you’re a guitar player who needs something fixed, then the guys at J Gravity Strings can probably help.
My Vox amp hadn’t worked for years. I took it to a place in Springfield, MO, but when I brought it home, the amp was still shorting out on me. After asking around, I had pretty well given up hope. J Gravity was mentioned in passing, so I thought that I would wander in to browse.
If you love vintage guitars and amps, you might get lost in this shop. They carry used gear from all of the great brands but also unique equipment that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. The prices are pretty high, but most of this gear isn’t available at the cookie cutter stores.
After my initial shock, I asked the clerk if they handled amp repairs. He said that they did. The first hour would cost fifty, just to figure out what was wrong, and they would call when they figured it out. Anyway, I brought in my amp and was pleased with the work.
In the end, it only cost sixty dollars. A wire needed to be reconnected. However, I had a few broken caster wheels, and they replaced them for nearly nothing. They charged me two bucks a wheel, having had some used ones in the shop.
Needless to say, I’m excited about playing through my Vox amp again. Definitely check out J Gravity Strings for used gear and gear maintenance!
