I don't believe there are any other stores (in the world?) that combine vintage cars and vintage guitars under one roof, but I always thought they were similar in spirit. When I bought my Dakota red telecaster from 1965, I admit that I also pictured a Dakota red classic Mustang from a similar era. I was actually in the market for a new acoustic and with the help of Jeff, tried a number of the new guitars for sale. I didn't buy one that day because I was still looking and visiting stores in south Florida. I think more than any purchase, you have to physically play a guitar to see if it fits you and the sound is appealing. I suppose a lot of people collect guitars without the intent to play them and that's fine, too. The cars are pretty impressive - reminded me of James Bond movies. And the wide range of electric and acoustic guitars are equally impressive; every one of the them has a story to tell. They also sell used and new amplifiers and other merch (including a Cafe!); I'm thinking of bringing in my amplifier for consignment.

Owner refused a partial refund despite being presented with a formal appraisal showing I was overcharged by 33%. Owner demanded in the case of return I simply mail him the guitar and he'd refund me if he agreed it was in the same condition it had been in when sold. Meaning it is at his discretion how much, if any, refund I would receive. Prior to this the owner withdrew from a layaway contract without notice or refund and advised I would receive a refund "maybe this week" ($1800 at that time). Upon my insistence he retrieved the guitar and completed the transaction, and repeatedly stated he had done me a favor in doing so. Deceitful conduct throughout and refusal to remedy. Unacceptable business practices.

The other techs that work there don't speak English, like the owner. You have to deal with the owner's wife, who is the only one who speaks English. As to repairs, overpriced for the quality of the work. Had a trumpet brought in for cleaning including a chemical clean. The instrument came back the same as when I brought it in. With a chemical bath the brass will be yellow in the areas where there is no lacquer. I think I paid $95 for nothing. Also brought in a woodwind instrument for a tune up. Was told a few pads needed replacement and that the horn would be regulated. Got horn back and it was still leaking. It appears the business is more of a rental service through the schools and a repair contractor with the schools. When I was there a parent brought back an instrument that had been rented through the school. It also appears that due to the contractor business with the schools being primary, individual instrument repairs are secondary. I have found that the quotes for repairing individual's instruments are higher meaning they don't really want this work but will take it in if you are willing to pay the high price. Also, I always call a business before visiting to make sure someone with knowledge will be there I can speak with. Often when I have wanted to visit this business I'm told the owner is out delivering or picking up instruments. As to the location, it is in a warehouse district that the builder probably paid off the county to have hardly any parking spaces and such narrow roadways that it is uncomfortable to drive in. This business is located at the back of the complex and this requires negotiating roads where other vehicles are double parked. Sadly, there appears to be no other reputable woodwind or brasswind instrument repair facilities in Miami. As result, I have sent our instruments outside of Miami.

Finally.....A music store for all musicians. Ivan Cardozo my friend, you have set a new stellar standard for customer service, and for how you represent your companies brand and the companies that you represent. As I walked into the clean, organized, home-like, setting that is Miami-Guitars, I was cheerfully greeted by Ivan even though he was intently and passionately helping a father and son enjoy their Miami-Guitars experience I felt very welcomed.. This was so refreshing because every other music store I went to had 5 people standing around doing nothing in under-stocked , disorganized, and inaccessible stores . I started playing a variety of basses, with Ivan grabbing a guitar we had a nice little jam. The main thing I noticed was the beautiful set up that each instrument had been given by Ivan, rather than just taking it out of the box, and putting it on display. What a nice touch. When I picked up the beautiful Sterlingray 34BQM I couldn't put it down. The price was too good to pass up.. Ivan went out of his way to make sure i was 100% satisfied, and brother I am!!!! I will gladly drive the 150 miles to shop at Miami-Guitars and see my new friend Ivan. Miami-Guitars has THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE on the planet and many quality Instruments and Amplifiers in all price ranges in stock and ready to demo. Special orders can be made as well. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!! read more

I live in Indianapolis, but visit Miami regularly (daughter lives here) and needed a guitar to pick on (rather than my daughter). So I googled 'Miami Guitars' and scrolled through the list. I found - Miami Guitars, a small outfit SW of downtown about 8 miles. The glowing reviews by others convinced me that small is good, because the individual attention one will receive is exemplary. Chip was on hand this visit and he was keen on finding out what my needs were. I have a Martin and a Blue Ridge back in Indy and I didn't want to spend too much since I will play it only occasionally. Yeah, bought the low end Yamaha, but they are only interested in getting you what you need. Chip pulled down a few other guitars for me to play, even after I had made a decision to buy. I could have been in there for hours... maybe I was! It's like fine guitar dining, with service to match. Could not be happier with the purchase, but happier that I discovered Miami Guitars. I told him to check out Bombino, too. read more

Great guitar shop and excellent buying experience. So glad to have found it and have a real guitar shop nearby. Definitely recommend. Cool people and great selection. They clearly were interested in helping me find the right guitar. Even to the point of special ordering for me so I was sure to be getting the right one. Very happy with the experience. They kept bringing out different guitars. Enjoyed checking out and playing so many wonderful instruments. Miles and Chip were great to work with and know so much. Also clearly enjoy talking about the different guitars. I bought a great guitar and amp that I am really enjoying. Already working on my wish list of future guitars and look forward to working with them to add to my collection! read more

Scored a great deal on a Gibson acoustic. Staff are friendly and helpful and quick to communicate your options. There are guitar shops much closer to me, but the service there is very poor (e.g., Wildwood Guitars). Miami-Guitars is one of the best shops in the US. I've been playing for 30+ years, and my experience with them was one of the best I ever had. Highly recommended! Even if you have closer stores, give them a chance to beat the prices offered to you. Shipping was very quick; packaging was top-notch. read more

I am local and after 15 years of playing guitar in Miami i've finally found THE guitar shop. Go see Chip. Level of attention without the over-the-top sales pitch and they look out for your best interest. They don't try and sell you everything and anything just to make money from you. They care ! It is all about the costumer, with no pressure. Inventory is selected specifically. They don't just carry everything. And what you will learn about the producers and models from Chip will impress you. read more

Miami-Guitars is a fantastic business. Customer service is great. I took my Jem Jr in for a full setup and to add a custom pickguard. Not only did he do the basic stuff, but I was also informed that a couple of the bolts in the neck were stripped and wasn't sitting in the body right, not to worry though, he fixed it, plus some electronic issue. Not only that, he had it done in 3 hours! Super surprised and satisfied. Will return. I enjoy read more

Highly recommend looking here for your next instrument. Every instrument is well maintained and the store itself is clean and quiet with no music playing (huge bonus!). Ivan is very knowledgable, talented, and helpful. I am certain he is a great instructor for students. I almost never have good experiences shopping for gear, but this place is a gem. Definitely my new go-to music shop. read more

Excellent shop and expert luthier. Don't waste your time going to anybody else for an acoustic guitar pick up install. They were able to install an LR Baggs Anthem in my 00015M.

He talked to my son about the difference between this one and more expensive ones, explained the materials and sound in this snare compared to others, how it is made, it's market history, etc. Jeff wasn't high pressure at all. He made his recommendation, demonstrated the snare, then set up a drum kit with the snare for my son to try it out himself. We wandered the store for a little while longer with no interference from him.
