In 1970 George Gruhn established Gruhn Guitars, which is one of the largest dealers of vintage and…read moreused instruments in the world. The "guitar guru" also plays with some curious new equipment as well. This shop is basically George. The first floor is available to everyone. If you ever get a chance to follow someone who invites you to the upper levels, go do it no matter how not into guitars you might be. Up there you will see the collection only extremely serious buyers and collectors are interested in. This also includes George's personal collection. (and most likely George himself) Beyond that there is also the shop where people with immeasurable talent turn broken guitars into back to life masterpieces.

Gruhn's Guitars is one of my favorite guitar stores. I travel through Nashville yearly on vacation…read moreand have been spending an extra night in town just so I can visit Gruhn's. Their selection of new guitars is the best I've seen. Besides the normal Taylor and Martin standard models, they have some amazing "Gruhn Spec" Martin guitars. My personal favorite is the Custom 0 Kenneth Pattengale Special. A few years ago I was trying one out, and George Gruhn himself came up to me and we had a conversation about the guitar. They have a wide variety of instruments, from standard flat top acoustics, to resonators, electrics, classical guitars, and even ukuleles. The staff has always been excellent, encouraging me to try anything I wanted, and leaving me alone to do so. But being available when I had questions. They have a good selection of guitar accessories (strings, capos, etc.) and a wide selection of Gruhn Guitar swag. I've bought Gruhn t-shirts every time I've visited and now have a wide variety. Parking in Nashville can be an expensive nightmare, but Gruhn's has the luxury of a private parking lot!

The rooms are great and they have a size for whatever you need. We've been in every room from the smallest, which is good for a small band practice, to the largest, which is great for events and the stage is huge. The equipment is high quality and we have always been pleased with things we've had to rent like drums, keyboards, and amps. They always have plenty of connections for our big group, and plenty of monitors to make sure we all can hear everything clearly. The staff is usually pretty attentive to our needs. They are not crazy about you touching the mixing board so you have to bring them in when you want to tweak stuff but they are usually on top of it. Whether you are a professional touring act needing a place to prepare or a local band needing a place with great sound to practice, this is a great spot.

I requested all the file versions because I was planning on pressing vinyl also. Steve responds very quickly and tells you exactly when everything will be back to you which was only a couple of days. I was very pleased with how everything turned out. My boyfriend had actually found him online because he liked his YouTube channel and tips he gave for mixing. So naturally, when Sage Audio started promoting their monthly membership, I thought it was a great idea! There's tons of perks with free plug-ins, vocal chains, mentoring, tips on how to improve your own mixes and much more! What stood out to me is that there's 10 FREE mastered songs included in your membership along with a mastering course on how to do it on your own. I couldn't resist. I think it's a great deal. They are really hands on and quick to respond to requests. I would definitely recommend Sage Audio!
