    While shopping for a Christmas present we stopped in The Music Depot in downtown Hayward. Our youngest daughter wanted a ukulele and I wanted to look at everything else. We lucked out and found a parking spot right out front. I could see parking be a issue but I promise it will be the only one if your destination is this shop. Walking up you can see they are taking all the necessary steps to ensure safety during the pandemic. As we entered we were greeted and noticed a very clean and well put together store. I was a kid in a candy store looking around at all the product. What ever you play they have it or will get it for ya. Prices are good but the knowledge you receive about the products is priceless. Learned a lot today, this is a family owned business and they have fought their way through the pandemic by going to the next level for customers. We found the prefect ukulele while also getting some other small items. I felt welcome and like my business was appreciated. Maybe the best shopping experience in a long time.

    Satisfied customer!!

    Absolutely love Pete and his family at Music Depot!! I didn't wanna give my money to Amazon and I wanted to support a business I know that works really hard to support their community so I called them up all the way from here in Virginia and they took great care of me!!! Couldn't be happier with the service and would definitely shop here anytime I need gear!! Website is awesome and easy to navigate!! Support Music Depot!!

    See all

    Hi, I have a new fender guitar in need of a tune up, as several frets buzz. Is that something you can help me with? How much can that cost and how long would it take?

    I hate Guitar Center. You hear me? I hate it. If you walked up to me and tried to sell me a solid…read morestate with some DOD pedals, while flashing the "rock on" sign, I would hate you too... even if you didn't smell like the mosh pit at a nu-metal concert. What's so core about not bathing? Greg at Orbiter Guitars is awesome. Most musicians and guitar techs are jerks. Yeah, I said it. If you're a musician, than, statistically speaking, you're probably a jerk too. Greg's a genuinely nice guy who understands that music is about having a good time. He loves what he does and it really shows. He makes his own boutique pedals, for crying out loud. I can't recommend him enough. I had my LP Studio and Tele set for a really great price. The LP was SINGING after. It was as if someone bought me a brand new guitar (that was made in the 60s). I'm in love. I love you, my wine red little friend. Yes, I do... Yes, I do...

    I have trusted Greg with at least 20 guitars over the last 10 years -- everything from routine…read moresetups and fret levels to custom wiring and routing, all the way up to full refinish projects and guitars worth several thousand dollars. I have never worked with a guitar tech who was more detail-oriented, more downright caring about doing a good job. He takes immense pride in his work, likes a creative challenge, and has never given me bad advice in regards to maintenance or repairs. Greg creates his own custom effects pedals as well; he does hot-rod paint jobs so they look as good as they sound. He customized my wah with a tone switch, custom voices, and and LED, then finished it in a gorgeous Lake Placid Blue metallic. I've also used one of his foot phasers with an orange metalflake finish! If you can dream it, he can build it. Greg has taken down the Orbiter website, but he's still very much in business and contactable by phone or email. Most of his jobs come via personal referrals; he's the area's best-kept secret, Greg's standards are insanely high and his prices are, frankly. too low. You simply will not find a better deal in the Bay Area.
