I love this place. Theyve got a whole bunch of Fender instruments. The people who tends you here are extremely nice, and they know their products. I got lucky there was a 75th anniversary Fender Telecaster on sale and, well, I bought it.5/5.

Super friendly and professional, great selection of reasonably-priced stuff, love that they have several left-handed guitars always in stock. I generally drop in for small stuff (strings, guitar hanger, slide, etc.) and they always have what Im looking for.

I was going to buy a bass guitar here, but the lady wouldn’t let me try out any of them, even though there was no one else in there, AND I had brought my headphones. What’s more is that she wasn’t busy at the moment. I ended up going over to Mr. Music in Allston to get a bass and bass amp from there.

Went in with a particular idea in mind. The folks at Guitar Stop listened to me play and suggested several different models to try until we found the perfect one. Exceptional knowledge and service. Ill be back for sure. Even gave my toddler a Ukulele, crayons and stickers to play with. This is why you dont go to Guitar Center.

Guitar Stop is a great place to get a beautiful instrument. They have a very broad and very nice selection of quality instruments, that are quite affordable. The staff is very responsive to emails and very helpful in store as well. I would highly recommend Guitar Stop to any musicians looking to get a nice guitar, bass, banjo, or any of the other nice instruments they have!

Hands down the best place to go for Fender. Huge selection. Just bought an excellent Professional Strat to go with the Performer Tele I bought here a few months ago. Tried a bunch of guitars and they have everything you could want up and down the line. Very patient with me on both experiences and I am VERY picky. Go to some other shops, try them as I did, you will return to Guitar Stop. Ten stars!

I love this place! They are kind, honest, and knowledgeable. They had a lot in stock. They had me try out a bunch of guitars until I found the sound and feel I wanted. They even got my five year old son involved. They put on a fresh set of strings for me and I was ready to go. DON’T BUY A GUITAR ONLINE! Go to Guitar Stop and fall in love with your next instrument. Because, as they say, how many guitars does a guitar player need? Just one more!

I purchased a guitar online with curbside pickup. The staff were very responsive to my email inquiries and friendly during pickup. I look forward to returning when in-store shopping is available again.

Best place for lessons. Instructors listen to students. Easy to schedule.

Cozy place with lots of great stuff inside, including lefty players which is what attracted me being a left handed player. This is a family owned place from what I gather, and everyone that ive met here has been very nice to me. So, not sure why theres negative reviews posted here. One of the guitars i bought kept fret buzzing, brought it back weeks later and turned out to be a bad neck, exchanged no problem. Restrung one of my guitars right in front of me, set action, intonation and left within that hour of arriving. *****JEAN - I just wanted to say a big Thank You for adjusting the bridge on my Strat the other day! Its plays out great now staying in tune very strong!! Appreciate. See you guys later, til next time****. Robert

Its pretty good. They have a good selection of guitars and basses and lefties. I didnt like how you had to ask before trying each guitar. I just found it a little awkward.

One of my favorite local guitar shops. I must admit I only went here because I tried and failed to find what I wanted at Guitar Center first. After the third time I asked myself why do I even bother going to Guitar Center first? And Guitar Stop has been my first stop ever since. I still dont know the name of the woman that is usually behind the counter but shes always very helpful and knows her stuff. As for the stores inventory, Its great. While they dont have the massive floor space advantage of the bigger stores like Guitar Center, they make up for it by providing a nice mix of affordable, high-end and unique guitars and amplifiers.

I love going to Guitar Stop. Everyone is friendly, knows their stuff, the lessons are great with a wide variety of teachers/styles. It is also nice to support a local family company.

They just want to sell you stuff fast. The lady actually got pissed when I was trying out guitars but hadnt made up my mind about which one I wanted to buy.

Had a guitar set up here (Gibson SG) and it came out badly. May be fine to purchase new instruments here, but go elsewhere for a set up.

Very friendly staff. Whenever I see strings that cost 7 bucks a set or less is a fantastic place.
