    Enter the 30th Street Guitars and you will have a choice between modern, vintage and used instruments that boggles the mind. All players are treated equal in this shop so everyone feels like a Rock star. The place is one stop for the electric six string. If you need to try out an effect pedal and didn't bring your guitar chances are good that the shop will be able to set you up with an amp and guitar you know well enough to test the effect. Between the prices and gear you may have to buy more then you came in for.

    These guys know guitars, and the walls and walls of restored and preservered vintage telecasters, les pauls, es-335s, and Gretsch's demonstrate their commitment to the craft. This is far and away the best repair team in the city, and if you are looking for new pickups or other general modifications, a quick description of what you are looking for will give you better results than you could imagine. These guys repaired two broken headstocks for me, a fractured bridge, and with a few general modifications that they recommended, turned my electric guitar and bass from mid-level instruments to highly coveted instruments that get comments wherever and whenever I play out. Whether you need repairs or just want to try (and maybe even buy) a '62 Les Paul, this is the place to go. If you love guitars, this is your store.

When I picked up my guitar from 30th St, the new switch was in, but the guitar had hum. I went back to the shop a couple days later and was told that the repair tech/owner was out for a week, but they had another tech coming in the next day. Tech #2 said he couldn't hear any hum and said he'd stake his reputation on it. We plugged it in and, sure enough, there was plenty of hum and tech #2 looked embarrassed while the guy behind the counter laughed at him and his "reputation." Tech #2 advised me to come back when tech #1, the owner, was back the following week. Today, as instructed, I went back and saw Matt, the owner, tech #1. He said there was no way anything he did caused the problem. I pointed out that the guitar was whisper quiet until I left it at his shop. I protested that I had been b... Read more
