I brought a Gibson J45 acoustic here for some work. They did a great job for a very fair price. If you need a new instrument, lessons, or guitar repairs - I'd highly recommend NH Guitars. These are very cool people. read more

I brought a guitar, amplifier carrying case and wires to sell. I bought this whole set up for my child that showed some interest. Needless to say, it stayed on her wall for almost two years completely untouched. I finally wanted to get rid of it. Brought it to NH Guitars, they tested it all, looked up what the going price is and offered me 65% of what it's worth. It was fair for both of us! Very friendly and knowledgeable and very fair people to do any buying or selling. read more

The set up work is amazing ! Neat inventory . Hard to find stuff . Worthy the trip . Very helpful techs and sales folks

When I wanted to upgrade the look of my 2004 Gibson SG Special I turned to the technicians from NH Guitars. Not only did they do a great job but with the setup it now both looks and sounds as good as it gets. This was my first experience with NH Guitars in having one of my guitars worked on and they took great care of it and me as well. A quick turnaround is part of an excellent customer service model and NH Guitars knows how to treat their customers better than any other Guitar Shop in the NH area. Might be time to take advantage of their Guitar Setup Program for all of my Guitars, if you need work done - big or small - to your precious music equipment NH Guitars is the place to take them. read more

The owner was very nice and super helpful with our purchase as well as advice for repairs. will come here again!

We had a great time getting my teenage son his first electric guitar. The staff is super knowledgable and very friendly, and I really appreciated the vibe in the store -- it's like an old-school guitar shop where you can hang out, play the guitars, and talk with their in-house repair techs, other guitarists, and the owner. They have a good selection of instruments at various price points, and some really awesome high-end stuff. read more

So friendly and helpful. Couldn't recommend them highly enough. They had everything we needed and the experience was fantastic.

I've only played piano and the flute. I decided on a whim to purchase a electric guitar, did a quick google search and found by far the most welcoming store I've visited in a while. I came in on a Sunday night, greeted by Paul. He was so warm, kind and patient with me. I was given a break down of the best beginner guitars acoustic and electric, he asked me very good follow up questions to help me deduce what I actually needed. Not only that but, he gave me ample space and time to try out different amps and guitars in his very well kept store. Paul gave me a quick lesson along the way, which was absolutely awesome, it made hearing the differences in guitars and amplifiers crystal clear for me, a beginner. For anybody looking for an authentic experience with real down to earth kind people this is the place to go. Paul set me up with an electric guitar, amp, stand, picks, tuner and guitar case for a VERY reasonable price below $390. Every employee I interacted with was so down to earth, intelligent and knowledgeable in many genres of music. If you are looking to begin your journey playing the electric guitars, ukuleles, drums, or piano. This is a great place to start your journey! read more

I was looking for a custom setup for a guitar that I'll be keeping in an open B tuning, which would require mix-and-match of different string gauges. I was referred to NH Guitars, and boy am I glad I found them. Excellent service, both Matt and Pete are a wealth of knowledge, and they did an excellent job with my guitar. Everything came out great! read more

Amazing service from the shop owner Paul to the outstanding guitar techs Pete and Rich. You have to stop by this gem of a shop in Windham if you want to experience service that the big box music stores cannot or will not replicate. I recently purchased a new Yamaha LLTA and it arrived with horrible action and I wanted to have it prooerly set up and was so lucky to find Paul and his team. Dropped it off on Monday and got it back today (Thursday) and it is almost magical what they did with it. Thanks again guys, you now have a customer for life who will sing your praises every chance I get. Gary Benjamin read more

I am very pleased with NH Guitars services, as I am getting into this music field of playing guitar, I was wandering whether to buy a new guitar or repairing my old son's acoustic guitar. After a quick search I found N H Guitar and took a worthy drive from Boston to Windham. I thank Gloria, the guitar tech who put my old guitar back into business and also owner Paul German who gave me some good advice on guitars. I was amazed to notice the array of acoustic and electric brand new and used guitars they have on display. Although I am very satisfied with the repaired acoustic guitar, I will comeback very soon to buy my first ever electric guitar from them. read more

Awesome little gem of a guitar shop hidden in Southern NH. Always fun to stop by as you never know what they are going to have in stock. Also, one of the few places around that are taking in repairs. Their luthiers are excellent, friendly, and the turn around time is above average. If you're in the Windham area, stop in, you won't be disappointed! read more

The folks at NH Guitars installed some pickups in a Telecaster for me. FAST service, quality work, terrific rates, great communication, and, most importantly, the people there couldn't have been nicer. I'm definitely taking all my guitar work there from now on. EXCELLENT!!! Recommend 100%. read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about the guys of NH Guitars. I use my guitar for work on a daily basis and brought it in to fix a buzzing sound. They not only fixed it in about a minute, but gave me helpful tips for changing my strings that's more user friendly, chatted with me as if we've been friends for years, and pointed me in the direction of individuals I could network with for my job as a music therapist as well. They will be my go-to guys for anything guitar from now on! read more

Wicked nice guy, always has awesome stuff for very reasonable prices. Absolutely worth a look

Paul is personable, professional and patient. NH Guitars carries a curated selection of mid-range gear at reasonable prices that provide a valuable alternative to larger retailers. read more

I can't say enough good things about Paul, his courtesy, honesty, professionalism, good cheer, and especially how quickly he found a customer for the guitar I left with him on consignment. It wasn't a long process, but he communicated about prospective buyers throughout. During our initial introduction, he took me through every step of his process, from appraising the value of the guitar to how he would generate interest in it. I am beyond satisfied with my experience with Paul and NH Guitars. Though I was a seller, not a buyer, I can't imagine anyone who does business with him not feeling the same. read more
