Johnny is very understanding and glad to help you with anything that you can ask for. I used to go to guitar center every time I had an issue which was a 20-30 minute drive every time. Ever since I found this place it's close to me and very convenient and I don't have to travel 30 minutes just to get strings. I took in my fender Meteora for an action adjustment and he helped me with it very quickly and professionally. The store itself is also very cozy and you can sit in there any play the instruments while something is being taken care of for you. Highly recommend. read more

Got my MIA Strat setup here. Very happy with the service. Also brought in acoustic with some refinishing work needed. Referred to a luthier more appropriate for the work which I appreciated honesty. read more

Great to see a small, independently owned music shop in Miami. I decided that in my old age, I wanted to learn how to play bass. I bought my bass guitar, bass amp, and a guitar stand from here. Johnny was very chill and helpful. So far, I absolutely love my bass, and the amp is great too. He also does repairs and lessons. read more

I just had my 1969 Les Paul re-wired by Johnny - and words cannot describe the gratitude I have for him and his skill set when working on vintage guitars. As you can imagine, finding a solid tech in South Florida is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Well...look no further, and here's the killer...he has zero ego and will go the extra mile to ensure the experience and the performance of his craftsmanship is priced beyond fair...makes me wonder if I've been over paying for all of my guitar work, up until now? The net/net - If you're looking for a great guitar tech is S.FL he's your guy. read more

What is it with guys and guitars? I walk into a place like Guitar Nook needing only a new set of strings for my J200. Next thing I know I'm dishing about guitars with the super friendly and knowledgeable and low-key Johnny. My favorite kind of locally owned indie shop. And yeah I got my strings. Fender .11s and Johnny told me the elixir coating are gonna have me sounding like James Taylor in no time! read more

This independent shop is a treasure. Johnny has always been the kind of person you want in a store, knowledgeable and up-front, helping you understand the difference between options and letting you figure out what's important to you. When I've brought things in for repair, he's given me spot on estimates on both price and turn around time. He's also been honest when I brought in my daughter's guitar that was so far gone that it wasn't worth repairing. read more

Awesome place with great service. They have everything you need right here in N Miami, and at the same prices as you find online...!

I live in North Miami and passed by need going into the establishment for years. I was missing out! This is no doubt my new favorite store. I have been getting back into guitar after years of my hobby remain dormant. I came into setup my new Fretlight and Steinberger (two instruments that are not common or easy to work with). Jonny, helped me get these instruments into perfect playing order. I was so happy, I signed up for lessons with him! I recommend anyone in Miami to stop in here. They are a Fender dealer, but offer so much more! read more

Highly recommended by friends in North Miami Beach, this is the epitome of 'local family owned guitar shop'. I had bought a Squier body cheap from a dude that was about to throw himself off a roof after he popped the neck by cranking on the truss rod too many times and then couldn't get a replacement to fit and threw in the towel. Little did I know - I figured EZ PEEZY - I had a neck laying around that would (should) fit just fine, etc - you ever do this? A month later and you've ruined 2 TUSQ nuts AND the neck and came THIS CLOSE to ruining the pocket the neck fits into at 3am when you finally snap and realize you're in WAYYYY over your head and just throw the thing across the room. Johnny at the Guitar Nook is in North Miami just north of NW 135th street on the left side of Biscayne if you are driving north. The last shop in a small nondescript shopping plaza, you walk in and you're surrounded by Guitars. I showed him what I had done (cough, cough - er, destroyed) , and we shared a good laugh together. I left the pieces with him and crossed my fingers and said a quiet prayer to the Guitar Gods Fender & Gibson. Next thing you know, my phones ringing and Johnny's telling me " You're good to go" and sure enough - he pulled it together. And I'm not gonna lie - it was a bit of work. He filled the holes that had already been drilled in the tongue of the neck by yours truly, redrilled it RIGHT, sanded and shimmed it so once it was all fit together, the fretboard and string height was right on, then he swapped out the bridge plate, adjusted/radiused the aftermarket saddles for which I had no wrench. Then he found me a tremolo arm that worked with my aftermarket block, installed the tuners on the headstock, strung it up, intonated and tuned for about what the YUGE FACELESS CORPORATE MEGASTORE wanted for a setup alone. Oh yeah, he might have also resoldered the switch jack, adjusted the screws and springs in the back cavity + the claw and put everything back together in showroom "off the wall" condition, covers and all. He basically built me a guitar. Thanks J. read more

Great service, great prices. I took my husband here to surprise him with a new guitar for Christmas. The service was wonderful. They picked out the perfect guitar for him in no time. It was like watching a matchmaker at work. While it was slightly out of my budget, it was well worth it and I am so grateful they chose to bring that guitar out to show us. Plus, the guitar came with a hard case and lessons included in the price and, when I compared how much I paid for it at The Guitar Nook to other shops, I actually paid much less than I would've somewhere else. Highly recommend. read more

called to see if they could help with the purchase of one acoustic guitar string and installing it and they said it would take a few days... takes two mins to put one string on a guitar. just tell me you don't want my business instead of lying to customers. or close your doors. read more

Great spot! They fix my son's guitar strings when they break. Friendly, reasonable prices, nice!

Use to fix all my guitars there, and buy guitar accessories plus many guitar lessons for my son. I referred many people there and my son did too. Until one day I trusted their judgment on an electric guitar case by Fender. It broke in less than a week and now it's still falling apart. I went for an exchange; the answer: "Sales are final" -showing me the sign. "Contact Fender, that's not our problem now" I tried to contact Fender, no answer so far. I tried to help their small local businesses; now I buy online! read more

Attention South Florida Musicians. You have to check out The Guitar Nook in North Miami. They have something for every Budget. John is an Amazing Guitar Tech. He fixed up a Guitar for me and it feels better than Brand New. If your Guitar or Bass is misbehaving, have John look at it. You will be happy that you did. You need to have Your Instrument set up by a Pro sooner or later. It makes all the Difference on Your Musical Journey in Life. Thanks again John & The Guitar Nook for Everything!!!!! read more

Great little guitar store in the North Miami area. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable and also able to assist with lessons and repairs in addition to selling great music equipment. I recommend this spot for any local musician in the Miami area. read more

We had a guitar repair to be made - but these guys look beyond what's obvious and into the instrument to see deeper but and important. These folks understand not just guitars but also those who play them. The price was better than fair and the work done on time. And they are authentically nice! Highly recommend them to those who know guitars and to those who hope to. read more

Really cool small guitar shop. Friendly staff and patient instructors. Great place for beginner lessons, even for children. Johnny works really well with my 8yr old son. read more

Great place to try out Strats! Johnny was super helpful and knowledgeable. I was going to buy my stuff online but the prices are the same. May as well have a live person show you the way (pun intended). Highly recommend. read more

Need to fix my guitar and found the place by coincident. Great customer service and advice!

I saw an ad on FB offering a free class for adults who want to learn guitar/bass. I said wth, and clicked the "going" button. Got there a bit early and met Jonny who stepped right up asking questions to understand my skill level. A few more people showed up including Jonny's teacher and we proceeded to have no only a class, but a history session and some musical trivial pursuit. It was a great experience, some very basic info, some technical details, hands on training and lots of laughs to boot. I was ambitious wanting to learn a particular bass line and everyone said "that's pretty advanced" for a newbie, but with some help from Jonny, I plucked my way through it, and he even taught me an alternative way to play it. At the end he even did a small repair and polished my bass. Great, quaint location they def need a sign, but I would highly recommend this place. Had a blast. C- read more

Great place with nice and friendly people. I have bought strings there a few times, its located close to where I live.

A bunch of nice guys. Mostly fender stuff, average priced. They're pretty knowledgable about the stuff they have. This is a great place to really sit down and listen to the instrument you're going to buy. People will leave you alone while you play, and you won't have ten knuckleheads showing off their solo skills while you try out the instruments. They do some tech and setup work too, mostly the basic stuff. Not bad. read more

Thus place is awesome and the people who work there are very polite. There is also a lot of cool things to buy for guitars.

the staff are attentive, especially Johnny and Nelson, who helped us choose the best guitar to buy! recommend the location!

I bring my 11 year old son here every week and he loves it! Johnny the teacher is great with a lot of patience and dedication! Great place very peaceful! Highly recommended . read more

Very friendly and welcoming place, with extremely helpful and knowledgeable people. They dealt with my cheapo guitar issue with zero snobbery...Just the opposite! I was really very pleasantly surprised. read more
