Great selection of guitars and you can always see photos and weight of the actual guitar you're looking at purchasing. The staff is top notch and always welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Their in house luthiers are the best and setups are always spot on in accordance with your preferences. Steve, the owner, is a wonderful person and definitely cares about the process of getting customers the right guitar. I wouldn't consider buying a guitar anywhere else other than Wildwood because it's always a great experience. read more

I just happened to stop in while down that way helping a friend buy a vehicle. I was treated like a long time valued customer. They let me play any of the guitars without hesitation and offered more. Just a wonderful experience! read more

Are you looking for a top tier guitar to hit the road with? Perhaps you're a beginner wanting to finally learn "Smoke on the Water" to impress your crush? Whatever your motives, there is a place that everyone of all skill levels can go to for your musical needs, and that is none other than Wildwood Guitars. Formerly in downtown Louisville l, they moved to just right up the road into the CO Tech Center off Dillon Road. BE AWARE: they don't have a "true" showroom, as it's by appointment only but they will welcome you in to look at specific items. They sell, for the majority, online so make sure to browse their inventory before heading over to try it out in person. Being a former customer, traveling from Florida back to Colorado, the team was gracious enough to give me a tour of the warehouse and play a slew of new, used, and vintage gear. I was in the market for a new bass, and they brought me numerous to play in a private studio with a few different amps to try tonality. Ultimately I made a choice on an American Fender P Bass that I just couldn't do without, and not only did they give me a heckin great deal... THEY GAVE ME FREE SHIPPING TOO! Wildwood embodies the true meaning of customer service, in every sense of the term. If you're in the area, drop by just for the good conversation and top notch treatment, and if you're in the market for a new instrument, than there is no other place to look but Wildwood Guitars. read more

Wildwood Guitars - Fender American P-Bass - Guitar Stores Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

Had an amazing experience all around with Wildwood Guitars. I live in Los Angeles where there's no shortage of Guitar Center stores and independent shops, but my experience with Guitar Center over the years hadn't been great. And I didn't want some old acoustic that had been sitting around in Norm's Rare Guitars for 15 years being played by the unwashed masses. When I finally settled on the guitar I wanted, I looked it up online and found this place called Wildwood Guitars. They were listing the top level of this particular model for less than the lower level was being offered everywhere else, but it was brand new. I was skeptical and I was also hesitant to buy a guitar from out of state. But then I read the stellar reviews about them and a friend of mine who works in the industry said they're a highly respected business. So I sent them an e-mail and got very thorough responses back, addressing all my questions. Then I find out that not only am I getting the guitar I want at a discount, but their standard operating procedure is to set it up to my specifications and even outfit it with the strings I want. I would be going out of town so they called me on the phone to make sure they'd be shipping it when I wanted them to. They wanted to make sure I'd have plenty of time to check it over and make sure I was happy with it. Sure enough, the guitar arrived just as described, nicely and securely packaged. Included were extra sets of strings and a free Wildwood Guitars shirt in the size I had requested. It looked and sounded amazing. My faith in excellent customer service in the musical instrument retail business has been restored. read more

I have to say WOW!!! This is one of the best experiences I have ever had with any purchase in my life! These guys went above and beyond to make sure this was exactly the right fit for me. I appreciate the little surprises I got with my purchase!!! To top it off, their price could not be beaten. Everything was packaged carefully and arrived in perfect condition. A++!! 5 out of 5 stars! I appreciate you guys!! read more

Buyer beware! If you purchase an expensive instrument from them online, and receive it with any kind of cosmetic issue, even after they say they 'thoroughly' inspected it before shipping it, good luck with that. If you discover an issue even one day after the return window closes, good luck with that as well. They are not at all concerned with your satisfaction, repeat business, or referrals. I will be taking my hard earned money elsewhere. read more

Very low key employees. Awesome selection of guitars, old and new. Their amp selection is great too.

I purchased a guitar from Wildwood Guitars and I have to say, they're incredible. Wow, what a selection of the best of the best instruments. Customer service is top notch as well. The sales rep I dealt with is Lance. He's very friendly and knows his business. I will absolutely shop as Wildwood again. Thank you all who made this purchase a pleasurable experience. read more

The Wildwood Les Paul selection is fantastic. For those of us not in the market for a Gibson Custom shop but want just a little more than the standard 50's or 60's, look at the Wildwood selection. For just $200 more you get a custom shop level flame top and pickups that sounds much closer to the PAFs of the 50's. Customer service, shipping, and set up (included) were top notch! read more

Fantastic guitar selection at the best prices on the market! Staff is amazing and so kind!

Why buy elsewhere? I think the fact that I just bought my 6th guitar from Wildwood says all you need to know!!! Thanks Steve! read more

Out of this world guitar selection and friendly staff. Steve is a pleasure to work with!

That was one of the coolest guitar experiences I've had. There was a guy named Steve at the front and another guy named Greg who greeted us later into my playing, and both were really nice people who were incredibly knowledgeable. I've also got a guitar haunting me now haha! read more

The most amazing inventory for the guitar of your dreams. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that understand what it means to be a guitar nerd. Check them out. read more

Bought a guitar through them via their website a few months back. There was a slight snafu with inventory, but they MORE than made up for it with their excellent customer service. They are authorized dealers and EXPERTS in the brand in question (Reverend), and I could have chatted all day with the rep and and his wealth of knowledge about those guitars. They handled and setup the guitar with care, and I would not hesitate to do business with them again. Thanks! read more

I signed up for guitar lessons. First lesson was "practice pentatonic scales," which I already had memorized and could play backwards and forwards. Lazy or incompetent, either way a complete waste of time. Don't waste your money on crooks with a sanctimonious attitude. read more

I can not recommend Wildwood Guitars enough. I've been searching and researching for months ahead of the purchase of a guitar that will be a graduation gift for my son. I knew he wanted a Gibson Les Paul, and liked the necks on the Standard 50s. But I didn't want just any guitar that could be found on the wall of any local GC or other big box guitar store. I also knew that I didn't have $6700+ for a custom shop guitar. After searching the web for months I found that Wildwood had the perfect alternative...their Wildwood Select Les Pauls which have amazing AAA tops and exclusive colors. I started by emailing them and I was surprised to get a response from Steve within an hour or so even though it was a Sunday evening! So far great service. Over the next few days I was a royal pain in their butts asking for photos of specific guitars from the site which they always sent to me in short order. Then I placed an order...only to second-guess myself and ask for more pictures. You guessed it...after all that I changed my order. I apologized to Steve for all the back and forth but instead of being annoyed with me he couldn't have been nicer. I dealt with Steve, Greg and Lance and they were all AWESOME! This place sells guitars that go for much more than the cost of the one that I ordered for my son, but they treated me like I was buying the most expensive vintage guitar in the store. Wildwood will be our first place we look when we're in the market for another guitar and I hope to stop in in person if I find myself in the Denver/Boulder area. Buying a guitar, especially an expensive one online can be a little stressful but the guys at Wildwood go the extra mile and provide the kind of service and patience to set your mind at ease. My son's guitar just arrived today and I know he's going to love it! Thank you Steve, Greg, Lance and the whole staff at Wildwood Guitars. I'm so thankful to have found a guitar store that seemed to place just as much importance on such a special gift as I did shopping for it. read more

Steve, thanks for everything. I have appreciated Wildwood business since 2009, and Steve helped me for my detailed requests. read more

I have been a customer since 2003 with WIldwood guitars. I have worked with Steve, Lance, Bruce, Troy, and all have been stellar. Helpful, thoughtful, responsive, and above all else honest. I have purchased quite a few guitars from them and have trusted their ears and judgment​ as I am not able to try out the guitars in person. If perchance I had any issues with a purchase, they are quick to remedy it, without complaint. I have recommended them without hesitation​ to both friends and family​. There is no other place I​ would purchase a guitar from. Their​ selection of both new and used guitars is impressive, they will take the time to provide feedback on guitars I am considering and perform great setups. I consider myself really lucky to have found a store and company with such high standards and customer service, I trust their opinions unequivocally​. As a point of reference, ​I have purchased electric guitars, basses and acoustic guitars from them, both new and used. The items were always as described and well packed and shipped​. My highest reference. read more

I highly highly recommend this place. The people here are true professionals and masters of their craft. They let me know, as a beginner, this might not be the guitar store for me. This is because the quality of guitars is of the highest grade, these guys are the real deal. But, it was a pleasure picking their brains and learning a lot about what guitar will be the right one for me. read more

Very hardworking company that tries hard to please. If you have any questions before or after a sale they are there. Have a vast variety of guitars and brands. Ships fast and sets up the guitar with whatever string size you use. read more

I called and spoke to Troy Benns regarding assistance on a repair. I have never met anyone so helpful in my life. He answered all my questions and emailed me much needed information while on the call. I know where I'm buying my next guitar. Thanks for all your help Troy. read more

Very unprofessional and just right out rude. This has happened to me on 3 occasions. Pretty much you have zero chance of being able to go inside and look at the guitars. I was told the last time that they have too much business and there is no need to let customers inside the shop. Go somewhere else that's not overpriced and care about customer service! read more

This was already my favorite guitar shop in the world and now it's just that much better. Finally enough room and space play with every guitar that I want. read more

I visited Wildwood before the pandemic happened just based upon the good things said on a very popular forum I'm a member of. On that visit I was greeted with the coolest and friendliest bunch one could wish for. I was basically asked "what brings you in?" That led to some chat with the guys and I was given a free t-shirt to go with the strings I bought that day. I even got my choice of color! Pretty cool and I knew I would have to buy a guitar there someday. While I wish their storefront was open now (it still isn't), the customer service hasn't lapsed into the levels I've experienced at other Denver area instrument shops. With the massive fire Louisville suffered this last year, I thought it might be at least a little helpful to make the sales tax on a larger purchase help the city (I live in Broomfield, the next city over and Louisville is a cool place tucked between Broomfield and the famous Boulder Colorado). I purchased my first guitar from Wildwood today and it was an excellent experience. Cheers guys, I hope you can get your storefront back up and running when you are comfortable. Highly recommended (go check out Greg Koch on their YouTube channel- MONSTER guitarist). I'm proud you are in the neighborhood and happy to be your customer. And always remember, we can't work for and have nice things if we let socialism take over America! read more

After years of doing business with this company, I was blown off on legitimate quality control issues with Fender, Martin and Gibson "custom shop" instruments. At least as far as mail orders concerned, it is "get them out of the door as fast as the possible" on a volume basis and don't stand behind quality control failures knowing that mail order return is very difficult on the customer. I brought all these items to the attention with months of email and phone communications, and eventually I simply had to fend for myself because the energy of the inertial failure simply wore me out. I am not talking about consumer "Guitar Center" type purchases. I am talking about "custom shop" purchases from the big three, where all I received was "you know we've had a hard time dealing with them, but..." It is my opinion that Wildwood was complicit in a lot of the problems that caused Gibson horrible embarrassment. I purchased very expensive "custom shop" level instruments from this company since 2002, and I would neither recommend nor ever purchase an instrument from this company. All of the slick photos and Greg Koch videos are not a substitute for providing customer service and standing by claims of quality. The truth of the matter, is many customers don't truly understand what a playable instrument is, and problems are not uncovered until their quality control failures that cannot be ignored. Bluntly, this is not the kind of stuff that necessarily comes out during a 48 an hour approval. It is my opinion all the claims of QC'ing the manufacturers are simply not true - otherwise these instruments would not come to customers in this condition, and if there was a problem, the store would offer to make them right. It's inconceivable in my opinion that I could be so unlucky. read more

Full disclosure here; Wildwood is my FAVORITE guitar shop. What more can be said about Wildwood. Wildwood is THE premiere boutique guitar shop in the region, and one of the best in the country. Steve, Troy, Bruce, Lance and the whole team won me over, literally decades ago. I still remember getting my Jazzmaster in 1993, and every few years, got myself a slightly higher quality guitar, to where I finally got my dream Custom Shop Jazzmaster a few years ago. I've bought 6 guitars from Wildwood, since the early 1990's, and I STILL pour over the online inventory like a kid in a candy shop. I do hope we can get some instore hours someday soon, but understand if we can't. Thanks, Wildwood - I'm looking forward to my next guitar. read more

I have been looking for a PRS for quite a while and have had such a hard time finding the model I was looking for in a color I liked. When I saw this guitar on their website, I loved it but given the price, really wanted to try it out. The 'showroom closed' message on their website caused me to be unsure if I would be able to try out the guitar. When I called I was greeted by the most helpful sales person I think I have ever spoken with. He helped me think through options I might want to try, and importantly, he let me know that if the weather is nice they are letting people try out guitars out front of the store. Like a curbside guitar test drive! I live an hour away, so I called ahead and headed over today, and when I got there the owner was out front greeting the people coming to try guitars personally. If the person on the phone was helpful, he was even more so. I have been in and around musical instrument sales since I was 21 years old in one way, shape of form and stores like GC could really learn a thing or two from this level of kindness in their customer service (and I say that as a former GC employee cira 2001). Honestly, I am glad the inside of the store is closed, not because I wouldn't have loved to see a store full of guitars, but because nothing compares to the experience I had today. This is the first time I have ever gotten to try out any instruments, let alone this beautiful guitar, with a view of the front range on a spectacular fall Colorado day. He brought out an amp, and let me settle in and get to know the guitars. Aside from that, getting to see the finish of the guitars I was trying out in natural sunlight gave me such an incredible picture of the guitars finish and details. Being newer to guitar, this was my first time purchasing a guitar from Wildwood, and they now have a life long customer. Even if I wouldn't have been able to go to the store, the willingness of the store staff to support the buying experience was second to none. This, without a doubt, was the best purchasing experience I think I have ever had. If you are looking for a guitar, this is the place to go! Thank you so much Wildwood!! The photo of the guitar (now hanging in my studio) is below. read more

Wildwood Guitars - A beautiful PRS CE 24 Semi-hollow body purchased from Wildwood Guitars in its new home. - Guitar Stores Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

I have been seeking out a PRS Silver Sky in the Horizon finish for a while now and given the tentative wait of aproximately 8 months, I decided to visit the people at Wildwood Guitars for an alternate option. I initially spoke with John and today purchased an American Pro Series Strat at a very fair price. I previously purchased a quilted dark cherry US Les Paul and Candy Apple red strat from them. 15 years later, I once again felt at home and that I was in good hands. The reason Wildwood continues to thrive and possess one of the best collections of guitars in the US and beyond is because these gentlemen are passionate about what they do and they make you feel valued and respected and with absolutely no pressure at all. I am very pleased with my purchase and will choose them again in the not so distance future. Ask for either John, Lance, Troy or Steve and after you do, you will be glad that you did. Thank you so much Wildwood! -Taki Pappas read more

Simply put, the greatest guitar shop on earth. Yes, the store itself is small and the amount of instruments in the showroom is limited, but they have almost anything you could ask for in their warehouse next door. Steve (the owner) was humble and down to earth. The two salesmen I dealt with, Steve and Lance, were pros. I had made an internet purchase from Wildwood in 2007, but I had the opportunity to visit the store in person while on vacation last week. They didn't even have exactly what I was looking for, but I still ended up buying two more guitars from them. The amp selection is small compared to the insane number of guitars, but the brands in stock are extremely desirable and sought after. I will be back! read more

Visiting from California and swung by the store. Justin hooked me up! Great customer service. -Joe W

Big shout out to Bruce who works there. Called him and asked him about an upcoming release of a guitar I wanted and this guy was TOP NOTCH! Straight, direct to the point, knew his stuff, took my information and was willing to talk directly to Epiphone about the upcoming releases and the one guitar I wanted. Love independent guitar shops like this because Guitar Center and their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Great Job Wildwood Guitars! read more

Doesn't matter if you're Famous or just a regular below average guitar player like myself. The customer service is amazing. I purchased a Telecaster Deluxe (MIM) and it's just fantastic. I can't say enough about how great I've always been treated by the staff. Highly suggested if you're buying a 50k vintage LP or an under 1k guitar, you're going to get quality because they've cracked the code by treating people right. Thanks WW! read more

I have purchased two Fender Custom Shop guitars from Wildwood. My initial purchase was a '55 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster in January 2017 which exceeded my expectations. Their customer service is absolutely amazing and the quality and quantity of inventory can't be beat! Troy was very helpful in assisting me with my latest purchase and narrowing my choices down to another "companion" to my Strat - a Wildwood 10 Fender Custom Shop '51 Nocaster with a beautiful heavy relic finish. Wildwood is definitely as good as it gets! read more

Just had an amazing American Vintage Telecaster shipped to me a few days ago. I worked with Brian and he was great. He answered all my questions and made the buying/shipping process a breeze. I highly recommend buying guitars from Wildwood. Amazing selection, attentive and patient staff, and fast shipping! read more

It's nice to have something to work for at the end of the day. that's my main take-away after stopping by Wildwood Guitars on my way back east after a coast to coast trip with the family. Not one guitar ontheir showroom floor was 2nd rate. Bruce greeted my friend we were staying with and I at the door. You could tell the staff were lovers of the craft - I felt no pressure to buy; sounds like the majority of sales are online with most of their stock in the warehouse. Being from Maryland, I pinged them on some PRS guitars before settling on an early 60s relic candy apple Strat with a rosewood neck. He took me to a room in the back and plugged into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe to try it out (hats off to the Fender custom shop, amazing work). Any apprehension I've had in the past toward buying an instrument online has been sent to the side. Looking forward to having something to work toward over the next few months and after following them on their YouTube channel for the past couple of years, glad to finally be able to get in and try one out. read more

I absolutely love this place. My cousin showed me this beautiful Les Paul he purchased from Wildwood and I knew I was going to make the trek down to Boulder to see what there was to see. I was pleasantly surprised. The shop is right on the main street in Louisville. A great little shop with a LOT of guitars to look at and try out. They have vintage as well as new instruments. They have a special relationship with Gibson and they have a great selection of Gibson specifically. They also offer custom and specialty Gibsons. I found one of the Wildwood custom ES-335's in a beautiful cherry red finish (my dream guitar) and fell in love. It wasn't cheap... But the beauty of it was that Wildwood offers financing through Affirm. I was able to sign up for 12 months financing with 0% interest! What a great deal! I have to mention their excellent service as well. The staff are very friendly and truly love what they do. They are very knowledgeable about guitars, amps and pedals. They will also refer you to outside sources (i.e. a good repair shop) if they cannot help with a particular request. They referred me to a great repair shop in Boulder who also turned out to be great and accommodating people! They want to ensure you're getting the exact instrument you're looking for, even if it's between two different guitars of the same model. They will work with you and tune up the guitar to how you prefer it. And after you've purchased, they will tune the guitar up to ensure that it is properly acclimated to the environment your guitar lives in. If you were to ask Guitar Center to do that they'd laugh in your face! I highly recommend you shop for a guitar here. You won't be disappointed! read more

This shop has a lot more inventory than it appears as most inventory is kept in the back room. Most of the stock is in the $1000+ range, with the higher end models displayed in the shop. The best way to try the models you are interested in is to check their web site, and then the staff will be happy to pull them from the back to try out. Very knowledgeable staff and anything you buy there will be set up nicely. Update 21JAN20: new location is a huge improvement- more rooms to try out gear, more gear on display, and gear not on display is kept in a huge humidity-controlled back room. read more

I cannot say enough about the guys at Wildwood Guitars. They offer a Les Paul inventory like no other. I ordered one of their Wildwood select 50's Les Paul's. The guitar is an affordable high spec guitar with custom shop features. Upon arrival, the guitar was immaculate and set up perfectly. Their custom Wildwood spec pickups capture that perfect tone of yesterday. I could not be happier. They went above and beyond and made sure my experience was perfect. I will be purchasing from them in the future as well as referring my friends their way. If you need a Les Paul or any other guitar give them a go. Supporting a small guitar shop is what music is all about. Thanks for all your efforts Greg, Troy, and the Wildwood crew. Peace Love Rock and Roll! read more
