I just purchased a wonderful Gypsy Jazz guitar from Delgado Guitars. Though known primarily as first class luthiers, with a 93+ year reputation, I purchased a mint condition instrument through them, one I've been seeking for a short while. Manuel and his team treated me with first class customer service and quality care. I just received my guitar via UPS and I couldn't be happier. This is a first rate, incredible operation full of caring professional people. I can't recommend them more highly. Thank you! read more

Delgado Guitars - Altamira MD 30D - Guitar Stores Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Delgado got both of my classicals in tip top shape for my show the next day. Less than 24 hour turn around and he's the kindest guy to boot! Insane craftsmanship and even turned me on to his custom strings that I now cannot live without! I'm a customer for life. Thank you, man! read more

I'm new to the area and needed to get a couple things fixed on guitar last minute. I would highly recommend them for any repair or set up needs. The service was truly 5 star and they were able to fix my guitar in less than 24 hrs so I could make a gig. I talked with the owner when I dropped it off and he told me they're a 3rd generation company that's been in business for 93 years. It's hard leaving in instrument behind with someone you've never met before but our interaction definitely put my mind at ease. Thanks for such amazing service and value! You'll be in good hands with this company, I highly recommend. read more

I value kindness and quality above all in a business. These are at a complete level of excellence at Delgado Guitars. I can feel the sense of love and family history in this labor of love of a shop. So much heart. I'm so grateful for this staple of heart in the heart of East Nashville. read more

This small business is the epitome of friendliness and class. I took several private guitar lessons and bought some supplies for my new guitar hobby. Manuel, (his family who are around), and staff are extremely kind. You don't feel like a customer, you feel like you're part of the community and on a journey to learn a new, cool skill. read more

I was looking for a guitar and was happy with the quality of selection at Delgado Guitars. Tyler was very attentive to my needs and super awesome in answering my questions! He gave me the space I needed to spend the time with each instrument and I never felt pressured about anything. I eventually settled on an amazing sounding OM guitar that was, in my humble opinion, a steal at it's cost. Furthermore Manuel's luthier work is stunning. He's a true master artist whose love and care for his craft really shows in the quality and in the beauty of the instruments that he creates. It was so inspiring for me to be around so much love all in one little shop. I'd hang out there all the time if I lived in Nashville :) Do yourself a favor and check thes guys out. read more

Delgado Guitars - Beautiful guitar created by Manuel Delgado - Guitar Stores Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Great spot ! The owners/workers are so kind ! Come here for any of your guitar needs!

**If you're looking for a family owned guitar shop that's overflowing with experience and heart, look no further.** At first impression I was already overjoyed with Manuel and Tyler's costumer service. I vowed to come back again, regardless of the final product, based on their warm personalities and the history of the store. After receiving my guitar today, only a week or two after bringing it in, I am in absolute amazement with the final product. Manuel went above and beyond to make sure my guitar was in better shape than it has EVER been. Not only does is play perfectly (he fixed the action and stings to my exact liking), but he also made sure to stain the damaged area- it looks beautiful! He ended up having to create a completely new head stock from scratch and it's just gorgeous y'all. He even detailed it a bit- so kind and purely out of the goodness of his heart. All of this for a more than reasonable price. They also never once made me feel like my guitar was less important for being less expensive or because I am a newer guitar player. That's special. They are special. Let them make you and your guitar feel special! Guitar: Epiphone Casino Break to the headstock after being repaired the first time (by someone else but the same point of break) with improper glue making it very complicated. read more

Manuel at Delgado Guitars couldn't have been more knowledgeable or helpful! I came in to get a few things adjusted and new strings on my Martin and it was a very quick turn around! This is a great family run business with a lot of passion. You would feel very safe in their hands! Also, the cute little dog Oreo was an added bonus! read more

Phenomenal guitar maker and repair business!!! How does this business not have any reviews?? I couldn't wait to write one about Delgado Guitars (and particularly Manuel Delgado) because my experience was so incredible! My boyfriend had a LivingSocial deal to have his guitar repaired by Delgado Guitars. I went with him to pick up his guitar (which was ready and fully repaired in 2 days). We ended up spending ~45 minutes with Manuel Delgado, learning all about the guitars he makes and repairs. He showed us his work facility where he builds guitars from scratch (including bending the wood, most of the wood coming from international types of trees, which I found fascinating). Manuel is a 3rd generation Luthier (never knew what that meant before- good Jeopardy question!) It means a guitar (or other string instrument) maker. He clearly has much enjoyment and takes pride in his work. He is the friendliest guy, made us feel so welcome, recommended some local East Nashville restaurants/establishments, and pricing was very fair. He takes photos of the repairwork so you can see what has been worked on. I'm puzzled how this business has no reviews yet, but I'm happy to be the first and give it a full 5 stars!! read more

I got my Taylor repaired by the wonderful people at Delgado Guitars, and it plays like a dream. It had been badly damaged a few years ago, and you wouldn't be able to tell now after the work they did. Highly recommended!! read more

The best. The knowledge is 2nd to none. Helpful and completely trustworthy. Experts in classical and fold but also builds the best guitars. Totally pro read more

I brought Manuel my 1984 Gibson Explorer for upgrades and repairs. He exceeded my expectations! I HIGHLY recommend Delgado Guitars for all your repairs and custom guitar needs. He was friendly and his attention to detail is second to none. I had a very extensive list of upgrades I wanted to be preformed and Manuel seemed eager to make it happen. I will be a customer for life! read more

These guys are amazing. I brought in my Martin to have it set up. Fantastic job, my acoustic plays great now. They were very reasonable and got the job done fast. Great place to visit. Also, its pretty cool, because you get a chance to see a lot of guitars being made. Cool place, cool people and awesome service. read more

I can not say enough great things about Manuel Delgado!!! It is rare to find a true craftsman luthier who is also a true friend to the working musician!!! Outstanding service at a very fair price. I highly recommend Manuel for any of your instrument repairs!!! read more

The best I've ever had the luck to encounter! Manuel is the pro of pros! I live in California now and he's still the only one I let work on my instruments. I had a crack in a violin last year which I figured was the beginning of the end. He patched it up in less than a week and when I brought it back for some bridge work this year, neither of us could see any sign of the crack having ever existed. Besides knowing the instruments inside and out and being extremely dependable, he's also just a fantastic person! If you have an instrument that he'll service, there's no where better than Delgado Guitars. read more

Delgado Guitars is one of the best things about East Nashville's recent growth spurt. Manuel did a set up on an old classical guitar I've had for years. It sounds great and is now actually playable! Great guy and great craftsman. Highly recommended! read more

I recently purchased a ukulele from Delgado guitars. Every step of the process was wonderful, everyone was helpful and quick to respond to inquiries; It's very obvious that they genuinely care about their customers and about making and selling beautiful instruments.. The ukulele was also carefully packaged (by Tyler) - arriving in great shape and in good time. I can't recommend them highly enough! Andrea :) read more

Affordable excellence and friendly, fast service -- what's not to like?! Great to see someone who takes such pride in their work! Whether you want a unique custom instrument built such as a 5-string fretless bass with beautifully designed inlays or any type of mariachi instrument or pretty much any other stringed instrument you can imagine -- or you just need a set-up on your new (or old) guitar, he does it all and does it well! It's fascinating just to be in the workshop and see what does -- multi-generational craftsmanship at it's best ... read more

I have never Yelped before, but I created an account exclusively to shout-out to this place. I'm shocked that there aren't more reviews on here for Delgado Guitars. I brought my guitar here after recently having moved from Boston, and it was in pretty rough shape with a warped sound. Manuel and his co-worker were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. His business of repairing and making guitars has been passed down through the generations of his family, and this was evident through his expertise and skillful service (not to mention the incredible newspaper articles on the walls of the shop praising the guitar work and history of his father and grandfather). He gave me a very reasonable estimate and said that it could probably be ready within the week, which I thought was a great turnover since there were quite a few areas on the guitar that needed some TLC. I guess Manuel's co-worker overheard me saying to my cousin that I had hoped it would be ready in time for my dad to come and hear me play since he was flying in from Boston that week, and they called me TWO days later with everything completely mended. He said that they had made it a priority because they heard me talking about my family while I was waiting when I dropped it off. Not only that, Manuel took the time to write out a list of about twenty different restaurants and points of interests for my family and I to check out since I'm new to the area. He said that if we needed anything- the name of a mechanic, dentist- to give him a call. He was very genuine and my guitar sounds BEAUTIFUL now. I give them my highest recommendation. Great personality and great business. Go check them out for any repairs or if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind model! read more
