I took a chance since he offers a trial period. I am so glad I did! My son liked it immediately then a couple of days in he started to LOVE it! His teacher who plays on Selmer signature himself, highly approved it as well. Great intonation, beautiful tone and even registers. Ryan shipped the instrument right away and packed it very carefully. It arrived safely and fast. The instrument was nicely overhauled. I would encourage everyone to try his clarinets even if you are not in Philadelphia area

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!

I wanted to think about it for a day and figure out what I could afford, so we asked the owner if he would be open during the holiday weekend. He said yes, so the next day we called just to make sure. Apparently he was closed but said he was still in the store and we could come on by. He's probably glad we called because a few other people made purchases while we were there! :-P And of course I was glad, too! I purchased my first uke, and I am so happy with my purchase. I have no idea how to play it, but I got a free intro book with the purchase, as well as 20% off accessories. I got a gig bag and a tuner. The owner was really helpful and hooked me up with a nice deal on the instrument itself. I definitely want to return for some lessons. I just got a really good vibe from this place, like you can tell they aren't trying to rip you off or make you buy unnecessary items. That makes me feel confident I would get the most for my money by taking lessons there, too. We always see the female owner of the store at certain events and such, like festivals. Steve told me about their ukulele group, which seems so cute. I definitely am looking forward to learning how to play my new beautiful instrument and maybe even making some new friends along the way. The store also has also items, like instruction booklets, accessories, guitars, headphones and other sound stuff, etc.
