I buy strings here all the time and stop at the shop at least once every couple of weeks. This place is guitar and boutique pedal heaven. Literally they have such an amazing selection of guitars, but be forewarned this is not guitar center-type low quality stuff. This gear here is all top of the line, and it is expensive, but then again it's the same price you'd pay anywhere else. I'm also pretty certain that you could negotiate expensive products here as long as you are reasonable. I just had my bass, and two guitars set-up here. It was actually pretty expensive (Bluebond I've heard is cheaper, but I can't attest to quality), and I was a bit set-back until I got there and was shown what was actually done to my guitars -- not only was intonation and so-forth perfect, but the minor electrical issues, bridge cracking, strap holder looseness etc., was fixed completely. It was the best set-up I've ever seen done on guitars and after having them back for a day and playing through them all... damn they sound completely amazing. This place is definitely going to be my go-to spot for getting my gear serviced and picking up boutique pedal gear. Also, the guy who I presume is the owner Lou is a wealth of knowledge on everything related to guitars and very willing to stay late to help you out and share his knowledge , which I've never gotten from any other guitar shop (hello wannabe rockstars working at Guitar Center I'm talking to you...). If you are looking for a high-end new guitar, amp, or boutique pedals go to this store and talk to Lou personally -- not only will you end up with something either cheaper or pretty close to price you will get anywhere else for the same product, but you have someone who really cares about guitars that will service/set-up/ensure your satisfied with your purchase. I'm so happy I found this place after recently moving to Roxborough this is literally the guitar shop I've always wanted to have around.

The Short Version: This place is an amp lovers heaven…read more The Long Version: I decided to take a short trip up to Roxy Guitars. When you first walk in, it looks like a small average guitar shop, but if you look closer, you'll see it is anything but ordinary. They have pretty much ever pedal every made, nicely displayed in a huge set of cases. But the real magic happens when you venture upstairs. Never before in any guitar shop have I seen such a collection of amplifiers. Matchless, Buddha, Suhr, Engl, Marshall, Fender, Orange, Vox, Diveded by 13 and many many more. It was like I had died and gone to amp heaven. There were so many I was actually a little overwhelmed with where to start. Lou, the owner, and his associate were amazing. I spent about 2 hours playing about 5 amps with there help, then had him draw up a quote to order me a custom one. They were amazing. In addition to the unbelievable assortment of amps, they have dozens of high end guitars. Many boutique and custom shop one of a kind guitarswith exotic woods. They have a ton of a guitar called a Warrior, which is a brand I have never heard of until today, but they seem amazing. The inlay work was remarkable. I feel lucky to have discovered this gem and look forward to doing business with them. I will be back soon!

Back when I lived in Philadelphia, I started lessons with John. Every other review (they're all…read more5-stars) is right on point. John's method is comprehensive and he explains what the process is every step of the way. It definitely seemed a bit unusual to me at first, because I hadn't heard singers do exercises like his before, but the results were undeniable. The improvement was noticeable right away, but the results only got better with time. It's worth it to stick with it for a long time to get the most out of it. His "voice-building" technique really works on a fundamental level, completely building great technique from the ground up. My projection, dynamics, pitch, breathing, sustain, and overall technique had a dramatic transformation for the better. I also didn't realize just how much it was possible to increase vocal range, but John's method will dramatically increase range. I can now consistently hit notes that I didn't think I was capable of before. I really can't imagine that you'd get these kinds of results from just any old vocal instructor. I did lessons for two years and consistently improved. The only reason I stopped doing lessons with him was because I moved away, otherwise I'd likely have continued for quite awhile. Highly recommended.

I'd called before leaving to ensure the guitar was still there. When I got there, it was wrapped up and being prepped for shipment. I didn't even have time to look shocked. He said, "Don't worry. I'm going to take care of you." And he did. Far better than I could have imagined, offering a far better guitar at the same price. I'm still shocked to this day that he was so incredibly honest and professional. I still have the Guild and it is by far the best guitar I've ever owned. Thanks, Rocky!
