I purchased a fantastic Fender custom Shop strat directly from Miami Guitars. I am on the other side of the country. All my gear transaction these days are purchased over the Internet without visiting the store. It’s the little things that count even more.First, the guitar was packaged with utmost care and protection. Doubled box the hardshell case!Miles and the crew were particularly attentive shipping the strat for a precise delivery window (I was away from home for a few days and there were some massive storms) and answering emails. Any questions I had we’re promptly answered via email usually within 12 hours.Caution: Relic haters, stop here and don’t look at the photo. 😅

Communication was a bit rough at first. However, after working out some kinks and lining up a specific model (EBMM JP15 Blood Orange) the process was smooth. Received the guitar in excellent condition and it sounds and plays amazingly. Couldnt be happier. Thanks!

They ship guitars to cities all over the world mainly China, which is against US guitar manufacturers rules. This place is owned/ run by a foreign person in China. No management in the US. Owner insults his employees and uses another persons SSN to put himself on the payroll while living abroad. This foreign owned business is as shady as it gets. Mainly a way to launder money from China. Consider perhaps supporting your real local shops / chain stores instead.

This place does not exist. I drove 30 minutes because I heard good things. The pictures on the website and Google are from an old location. I walked in and its an abandoned room (see picture). There was one woman saying they no longer do repairs or sell guitars. I dont know what it used to be but now its a scam or some kind of front. Stay away!

I purchased a Musicman BFR StingRay Special and wanted to say thank you very much for your pricing, communication after sale, set up and shipping. Truly a five star transaction!

Great price and customer service are two things that are difficult to find in this day and age. So, I was quite surprised when Miles worked on getting me the best pricing on a brand new Jeff Beck signature stratocaster as well as finding me the lightest one in his inventory. Additionally, the shipping was fast, the entire transaction was very efficient and to top it all off, the guitar itself came in pristine condition, set up the way I like it and plays beautifully. Thanks Miles and team!

I owned a Santa Cruz guitar 20 years ago and was dumb enough to sell it. I wanted to get another one, and found a beautiful dreadnought at Miami Guitars. Miles was prompt and professional in the communication, and when the guitar arrived it took my breath away. Exactly as described, but twice as beautiful. This is a professional store with quality customer service.

Made a special trip out to Miami Guitars only to find them not open. Their Google and Facebook pages both say open Saturday’s 11-6 but it looks like they might not keep weekend hours which is a shame. Might have to try next time I’m in Miami.

I was looking for a specific guitar and although they did not have it in stock at the moment they went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for. I appreciate the help and cannot wait to visit the store very soon.

The staff members were very helpful. They have a sanitization section when you come in which is very comforting in these times. Over all a great experience, we bought a guitar and an ukulele, great cuality and great prices!

To echo the sentiments of other reviewers, I was originally unsure about ordering a guitar to be shipped internationally. After reading through the reviews I decided to take the plunge.I had payment issues happening on my end, but Miles was very patient and did everything he could to help during our email exchange. Two and a half days after sending payment and close to a 5000km trip across the border into Canada, I had my new guitar in my hands in perfect order. Payment issues aside, this purchase couldnt have gone any smoother.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I bought an acoustic from them which needed to be shipped across the country and I was a little nervous. Guitar arrived expertly packed, and the setup they did is spot on! Great communication and pictures. On top of that they gave me a great deal. I would absolutely buy from them again.

Review №22

A fantastic experience. Amazing customer service. I had been tracking down a Suhr Andy Wood model for a few weeks--it was pretty hard finding a dealer that had one in stock. Miami-Guitars was the only dealer that followed up with me--letting me know that they had a few on order and I could reserve one. Within just a few short weeks...the guitar in my hands. Great shop--definitely check them out. Thanks Miles !!!

All work I have had done here has been great, theyve been in contact the whole time and they were very prompt. highly recommend for any maintenance and fixes and the personnel were affable and knowledgeable. An old guitar I brought in literally looked like it was brand new - the amount of care they put in is outstanding.

Guitar arrived today... beautiful...! Professionally packaged and shipped. Thank you both Miles and Kenneth for the great experience. Thank you too Miles for trading emails at 11:30 PM on Thanksgiving Day. The product, pricing & communication clinched the sale. Although your vetting of my identity was someone laborious, it was also appreciated. Doing business 500+ miles away with such a purchase needs to be verified. This review is to attest to my complete satisfaction on all counts. Keep up the good work Kenneth and Miles. Much appreciated.Steve

Best sales team I have found in 10 years of shopping in the USA. I have no words to thank enough for the friendly, honest and helpful way in which I was served by Miami Guitars. About Suhr guitar that I bought, it worth every penny. If you have the chance to have one, dont hesitate. Reach Miami Guitars and they will make your dream come true. Thank you a lot, Miles Q.!

Miles at Miami Guitars provide me with excellent customer service on a guitar Im quite excited for. He was quick with his communication and very helpful providing feedback on the guitar. I purchased online, and would highly recommend Miami Guitars.

Review №28

Im a beginner level player with an entry level Yamaha guitar, my guitar needed to be re-strung and setup as it had become very difficult to play, Chip was amazing, he really took his time to explain what I needed, and even gave me some very helpful practice tips. They adjusted and re-strung my guitar in less than 24 hours, even though they had said 48 hours originally. These guys are such a pleasure to do business with, and they really know their craft. Once my playing improves, and decide to upgrade, I will definitely be purchasing my next instrument from them.

Review №29

Needed a guitar in Miami, saw all the 5 star recommendations and knew this was the place. Small, but wide selection of guitars, all price ranges, but the customer service is 6 stars. At least Chip gets 6 stars. No pressure on the sale as he pulled down guitars in my price range. Felt like I was home, but I wasnt - I was in Miami needing a guitar to leave at my daughters place. If you are within 15 miles of this location, you should experience it yourself. You might check out the mega warehouse approach, but there is NO substitute for attentive customer service. Take notice beginning, intermediate, and advanced players, even those who can play like Jeff Beck -- wait a second, nobody plays like that guy. Miami Guitars! Sweet

A great local guitar store. A fantastic selection of both acoustic and electric guitars and accessories. The small store packs a great deal in a very comfortable place to purchase a guitar.They have a great selection of name-brand as well as lower-cost brands for beginners and students.They have a variety of strings and amplifiers that offer guitarist their ability to shape their own sound.They have great deals on everything from the student acoustic guitar up through custom shop fender electric guitars.The people who work there are guitarist and they always have people shopping for a wide variety of needs.Great local guitar shop, close to Coral Gables, South Miami and West Chester.On Bird road and Ludlum... Next to Papa Johns in a little strip mall on Bird road.. they have parking right in front but backing out takes patience.Back out when the light turns red.

In Miami from the UK for a month, needed guitar to keep me sane... and this was the nearest store. It turned out to be a brilliant find! A marvellous independent with all the great service yous expect, Miles was a great host. I managed to bag a great Eastman at a good price. Tempted to buy the Bourgeois but maybe next time! Highly recommended. Dave Mac, UK.

Scored a great deal on a Gibson acoustic. Staff were quick to communicate and ship. I live hundreds of miles away, but the service at my local dealer, Wildwood Guitars, is just plain terrible. So, while I try to buy local when I can, I will enthusiastically and without hesitation give Miami-Guitars a shot at my future business. Highly recommended!

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to Miles at Miami Guitars for giving me a helluva deal on a great guitar (2018 Taylor k14ce Builders Edition). Great communication, smooth transaction, and it arrived at my doorstep a day-and-a-half later. Oh, and it sounds pretty spectacular. THANK YOU!!

Terrific selection of unique guitars with a very knowledgeable Staff. Gustav is one of the most honest and considerate sales person I have ever had the pleasure of buying a guitar from. Hes a great player as well with extensive knowledge of not only guitars, but cool amps and effects pedals to help you get the tone you want. Make Miami Guitars your go-to guitar shop if you want quality products at a fair price. Rock on : )

Review №42

A fantastic experience from start to finish, and unlike any previous guitar purchase. The genuine passion the guys have for guitars shows in all that they do. They truly cared about making sure that the guitar I picked was the right one for me, and patiently helped me compare and contrast different attributes of different guitars to find the one that ticked all the boxes (a gorgeous Taylor 712ce 12-fret). A truly personal buying experience. I entered a customer, but left reminiscing on a great day spent with buddies, playing guitar. Chip, Ivan - I look forward to seeing you both when I’m next in Miami!

Review №43

Cool shop. It makes me proud of Miami to find a place like this where they sell all top-line instruments, but without being in a (horrible) Guitar Center setting. I was apprehensive before going because most smaller guitar shops in Miami only have knock-off/no name brands, but these guys have American-line Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor, etc. Really hope they succeed. Seem to be off to a good start...

Review №45

The best guitar store in town. The staff, God bless em, treat you like family and help you in each and every single way they can. They’re extremely supportive, helpful and quite frankly inspiring. I’m still new to guitar-playing and the whole world of music that lies ahead of me and no one has made me feel more secure and reassured on that journey than Miami guitars. Legit if a guitar store inspires you more than your own music teacher then you gotta know for a fact that they are something special.

Review №47

The service and attention par excellence that I received at Miami-Guitars is above any that I have ever experienced at a music store. Miles, the owner, greeted me on my first visit and actually encouraged me to take my time and try as many guitars as possible and to keep coming back to do the same as often as necessary. I made a series of subsequent visits to this store and had the pleasure of playing the most gorgeous of boutique guitars. During the course of those few days, Miles and Chip patiently listened to me “noodling” on over a dozen guitars as each time, I was getting closer and closer to the “ONE.” Needless to say, the “ONE” did find me and I walked out a very satisfied customer. Thank you very much Miles and Chip!

Review №49

Im an old dog and mighty particular about guitars and the folks from whom I buy them. Id been looking for a particular model for a while and was fortunate to stumble upon these folks on one of the on-line vendor portals. Gave these folks a call.....a human being actually answered the phone. Always a good start. And, the fellow was knowledgeable, friendly and more than willing to chat about instruments. All too often, some of the bigger shops just do a quick evaluation on whether you are worth talking to and then bump you off. Not so with Miami-Guitars. The service was natural, pleasant, professional and, bottom line.....I bought a guitar on the first call. That was late on a Monday afternoon. By the end of business, they had already packaged it, arranged pickup by FedEx and sent me a tracking number. Forty-eight hours later, Im wailing away on my new ax. These guys rock.....they have great pricing and even greater service. I will definitely stop in next time Im in Miami. Looking forward to a good jam. Give them a shot....you wont be sorry. Thanks, Rick

Absolutely a great place to do business. Miles, the owner is extremely savvy when it comes to high end acoustic guitars and so much so that I am in Boston MA and purchased a $4000 guitar from him and he was even good enough to throw in a guitar humidifier humidifier for free. I can tell you that the service is excellent and they are very responsive and ship products very well packed. All my future music purchases will run thru Miami Guitars...super, super vendor!

Came to the shop to get my old beginner guitar tuned. I was able to get my guitar back in less than 30 mins. Miles (the owner) and the technician were very friendly. They have a large selection of guitars ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. And even more expensive guitars at the back! I hope my skills improved to make the investments in those guitars worthwhile!

I was there with the intention to buy a Les Paul... the experience was brutally bad. This will give you an idea:1- me asking questions about Les Pauls. Yeah pretty basic questions but anyways, the guy tells me “dude, there is a lot of info about this guitars on line. You should research before coming in the store”2- they ask me to remove my marriage ring! ... it May damage the guitar.3- didn’t let me plug the guitar to an ampI end up buying the Les Paul from Walt grace Vintage.

My experience with Miami-Guitars has been nothing but extraordinary. Back in Latin America, where I come from, I was struggling with just getting a budget for a certain guitar model. After waiting for months with no response, I decided to email Miami Guitars (almost at midnight), not only for the price of a Fender Stratocaster (American Professional), but some special customizations like replacing original for Lace Sensor Gold pickups. I got their response in less than 5 minutes and after 15 minutes everything was arranged. Then I travelled to Miami and got the customized guitar as settled. Nothing but gratitude to Miami-Guitars. Highly recommended and surely my next guitar will be purchased there.

I’ve always to been to guitar center since day 1 for all my music gear and instrument needs. But after visiting this local place I will forever come here first to shop for a guitar or pedal even an amp before I go to guitar center. The service from chip was excellent he is thorough to help me and is glad to answer all my curious questions about materials and brands. The guitar tech also stole me away from my regular luthier . They all know their stuff and I trust them with all my guitar needs without being ripped off. I highly reccomenf it to all my music friends and guitarist buddies, see for yourself !!Also this establishment is up to date with high quality products, knowledge, and they are licensed dealers from some of my favorite brands that most places except the internet sell. (Suhr, Carvin, etc)Thanks, Miami guitars

I bought a fantastic Martin guitar in this store. He was in doubt about the model and the sound of the instrument. The store manager, Chip, paid full attention to my questions and we tested many models. Chips knowledge, the concern to ensure an incredible purchase and the selection of instruments is spectacular. Do not expect a department store full of options - Miami Guitars is much more a curator of the best instruments youll find in Miami. In the end I even paid less than I imagined on the guitar. If you want intimacy, attention and a relaxed atmosphere, and be taken care of by someone interested (hey, and who speaks Spanish!), Come here.

Today I went to the local, Chip attended me. 10 points, a total genius. Honestly, when I entered I was already prejudiced that I had the appearance of a small local, of not being prepared, but I was positively surprised.As a tourist, my first option was to go to Guitar Center, terrible attention, they dont even greet you when you enter. I was looking for a guitar that is neither Taylor nor Martin but the guys who work there didnt want to offer me anything else.Doing a little research on the internet I found Miami Guitars and it was an excellent experience. I was looking for the Alvarez guitars, they didnt have them, but thanks to Chips patience, knowledge and good disposition, I ended up taking a tremendous Takamine.Prices: I compared the price of the guitar that I took and in Guitar Center it was 80usd more expensive.Conclusion: I recommend this place, excellent attention, and most importantly, GOOD WAVE !!!Greetings.
