The "guitar guru" also plays with some curious new equipment as well. This shop is basically George. The first floor is available to everyone. If you ever get a chance to follow someone who invites you to the upper levels, go do it no matter how not into guitars you might be. Up there you will see the collection only extremely serious buyers and collectors are interested in. This also includes George's personal collection. (and most likely George himself) Beyond that there is also the shop where people with immeasurable talent turn broken guitars into back to life masterpieces.

Their selection of new guitars is the best I've seen. Besides the normal Taylor and Martin standard models, they have some amazing "Gruhn Spec" Martin guitars. My personal favorite is the Custom 0 Kenneth Pattengale Special. A few years ago I was trying one out, and George Gruhn himself came up to me and we had a conversation about the guitar. They have a wide variety of instruments, from standard flat top acoustics, to resonators, electrics, classical guitars, and even ukuleles. The staff has always been excellent, encouraging me to try anything I wanted, and leaving me alone to do so. But being available when I had questions. They have a good selection of guitar accessories (strings, capos, etc.) and a wide selection of Gruhn Guitar swag. I've bought Gruhn t-shirts every time I've visited and now have a wide variety. Parking in Nashville can be an expensive nightmare, but Gruhn's has the luxury of a private parking lot!

I purchased a semi-hollow guitar that I thoroughly enjoyed, but that needed work. Playing…read moreacoustically the guitars action and sound were perfect. Plugged in the electronics didn't work. Well, the pots were supposed to be push/pull, that didn't work, so the tech was going to replace them and redo the wiring. I was visiting Nashville and leaving about a week after. I was told it would take a bit to get the parts because it wasn't an American-made guitar, and I was fine with that. As long as the work was done correctly, and it was shipped to me. I asked for a guarantee or warranty, and did not receive one other than, "well, you could ship it back". My daughter lives in the area so I could bring it with me, but I reasoned that they've been in business for a long time and shoddy work wouldn't allow for this. I told the sales person, Alex, this exact reasoning. Again, I was fine with the handshake deal if the work would be done, and done correctly and I wouldn't have issues down the road--if it was a installation or parts failure issue. All of this happened around the weekend so people weren't in, there were some other issues with the management being out for a few days, etc. I'm fine with all of that. But, I went back to play the guitar before I left. Found the tech changed the strings to a thicker gauge and raised the action to where it was nowhere close to the guitar that I enjoyed initially. I even told Alex that he could leave the thicker strings on just lower the action to where it was before. And, I was supposed to get a phone call the day after I left, because I wanted to know why he did those things. Nothing. I called about four days later and talk with the gentleman who said the guitar was shipped and on the way to me, which was odd considering the tech wasn't supposed to have the parts. I received the guitar. It was packed extremely well, A+ for that. But the tech put on the lighter strings, and instead of adjusting guitar, just lowered the action as far down as it possibly could go, I don't know what his issue is. The strings were horribly out of tune as you could imagine, and once I got them to where I could play at them, all I heard was fret buzz because the action was quite literally on the neck. This was not what I asked. I raised the action myself. I changed the strings again, played we'll acoustically, but the output from the pickups seemed off. It was extremely high output and every sound that came no matter what setting I had on my amp was distorted and overdriven--not in a good way. The knobs didn't work, volume didn't work, tone didn't work, the pick up selector switch sometimes worked, and it sounds horrible through an amp. Just shoddy work. Exactly what I was afraid of, exactly what I asked not to have done, exactly what I wanted assurances that would not happen. I received no follow up, Alex has still never talked to me after he took my money, and I'll be seeing my local guitar tech to switch out the pots correctly or at least look at the wiring because that doesn't seem to be right either. What was an average deal on this guitar will cost me maybe $150-200 more to have it fixed. Had I lived in the area, I would be there until it was done right. I do not recommend this shop, while the folks seem nice, you want to have a nice guitar, and I have one I can't play. If I hadn't said anything, it'd totally be on me. But I did, and there's no excuse. Am still waiting on a follow up, and if anyone wants to contact me, they may.

At this point the delay is likely to be another 3 months which just isn't a length of time I am willing to wait for my order, and I made arrangements to purchase elsewhere. I requested a refund for my order, and was told it could take up to 6 weeks for me to receive a check by mail, and have at no point received any further communication from them. No confirmation that the order has been cancelled, that the refund has been processed, shipped, nothing. For a company of this size, I would really expect just a modicum of professionalism at some stage of the process. It has been over a month and a half since my initial purchase and over 2 weeks since I requested a refund and I still don't have it. I'm about to start charging them interest on my funds.
