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!!!!!
At the beginning of the summer, my son and I were looking for a guitar store, as he wanted to buy his first guitar.We are so grateful we went to The Guitar Nook. Johnny guided us through the process of selecting the most convenient guitar for my son, (taking into consideration his height, previous experience, our budget and the kind guitar he was looking for) and now my son has not only a new guitar, but a fantastic guitar teacher that works wonderfully with kids, very knowledgeable, patient and empathetic…a person that teaches from respect and peace. Johnny makes it look so easy, yet his lessons are very complete, and he does a great job involving the students in the process of their own learning, as he includes their particular music preferences to create customized classes for them, and also he integrates other instruments knowledge that the students may have, to make parallel references and reaffirm the new concepts he is introducing.If you like guitars, The Guitar Nook is your place. There’s guitars of all shapes, colors and types. Repairs are done also if you need it.If you want to learn to play the guitar, I guarantee you will love it! I recommend this place a 100%. We love it!!!
If you need repairs, advice, or new equipment this is the place to go. Johnny is a phenomenal guitar tech! We have taken him three guitars now and he has worked miracles on all three for a very reasonable price. He made my inexpensive Yamaha Pacifica that I bought on Amazon sound and feel like a thousand dollar instrument. Our lead guitarist loves it and often grabs it now when we are jamming rather than his own guitar... I have purchased a bass guitar here and an amp both with the patient and knowledgeable help of Johnny. I will be a lifetime customer of this shop. I havent had lessons here yet (Im a drummer) but I plan to. I cant imagine there is a better place to go for guitars.
Great Guitar Shop & Lessons,At 55 and with no musical background, I was terribly nervous to learn guitar. Credit to Johnie and The Guitar Nook for my pride is saying “I play guitar” and I am not alone. Other Guitar Nook students include a grandmother learning to play for her church choir, a father who enjoys learning boleros to sing with daughter, and an accomplished pre-teenager that wants to expand her repertoire to include rock ’n roll. The student before me exits each week with a huge smile on her face and her electric guitar strapped across her back. For anyone reading this that has a desire to learn guitar or bass - make the call - you won’t regret it.As for the retail portion of Guitar Nook, the shop is constantly busy with both sales and repairs. Johnie and Nelson take tremendous pride in their customer service and the work they do. I began with an older acoustic that they did a fabulous (and affordable) job of repairing. I have added an electric guitar to my collection and am appreciative of the time and care that was spent to match me to the right instrument.I am lucky - the shop is just a matter of blocks away from my home - but, if it wasn’t, I would make the drive. My only wish is for them to get a better sign out front so that more folks know to stop on by.
I had a big show coming up and my guitar was giving me issues. He was able to fix it within 24 hours and the guitar was given back in amazing condition. He is also super friendly and knowledgable. I highly recommend this spot!!
Absoluterly terrible guitar tech... Hired him to re-work the sottering on my guitar. I showed him the back open so that he could have a solid idea of how difficult it would be and that no surprises would show up. First we agreed on $40 cash (which is not only more expensive than guitarcenter but I would assume he wanted cash so that he could avoid the owners cut). He said that he would call me in two days max... I called the third day and said that it was $50. Also said that the guitar was done yesterday and so I went to pick it up. He shows that the potentiometer (volume knob) wasnt working and that he didnt really check it.... after suttering the electronics... Anyway he says that hell work on it and the day after I pick up the guitar (without the old potentiometer) and once I start recording with it, the know feels super loose... low and behold the picture provided...Listen I love competition and its the main reason why I went here. But do yourself a favor and avoid the guitar tech....
My son looked all over for a guitar shop to re-string his guitar. The guitar nook offered the best prices and was very friendly. He made a great impression with my son! Thanks
Great hidden gem! Owner sells great equipment, does repairs and lessons. Highly recommended!
The store is amazing, great service and if you like brands like Fender thats your place.
Cant say enough about Guitar Nook and the amazing customer service. Johnny is the epitome of professionalism and courtesy. He was patient and so attentive. This is the place for your guitar needs. They also have lessons which are super affordable and well taught. Bravo!!
Been coming here for a while but I started work on my own custom guitar and Johnny from here helped me every step of the way, from advice to creating and perfecting the final product. Top notch service, knowledge, and I don’t think I’ve left here with out a smile on my face or confidence in repairs. Can’t recommend enough!!
The Guitar Nook is by far the most amazing guitar store I’ve ever been to. My entire experience searching for my very first acoustic was so incredibly easy and thoughtful on Johnny’s behalf. His patience and knowledge of music is incredible! The selection of fine guitars of all types is simply amazing for such a humble and sweet store. Purchasing a guitar from the guitar nook has brought me so much closer to music, and the incredible teaching abilities of Johnny have inspired me to pursue a passion I once thought to be impossible. If you feel lost in your musical journey, or impatient or irritated with the tedium of being a beginner guitarist, go to the guitar nook and learn a few things !- A new player and student.
This was my first time purchasing a guitar online, so I was nervous to do so. The Guitar Nook made this an easy and comfortable experience. Bernardo was a pleasure to work with, and the guitar made it across the country in great shape.
Amazing place. Outstanding customer service and knowledge. I am overjoyed with the purchase for my daughter. Thank you. Looking forward to many lessons.
Great service. Staff extremely knowledgeable and friendly. My son takes guitar lessons there too. He has a great rapport with his coach and is learning a lot.
Brought 3 guitars for a setup and some TLC. Couldnt be happier with the result. Johnny is a real pro and a very nice person, I cant put the guitars down now. When you feel theres something off about your guitar, dont waste time trying to fix it yourself just bring it here and be amazed.
Amazing and friendly service. Affordable and professional guitar lessons. Took a couple of old guitars there and came out like new.
We love it super cheap price. And sale Frender product like guitars, T-shirt and repair too..
Best guitar setup I’ve ever had! I brought in one of my guitars which had a severe case of “Floyd Rose-itis,” the bridge was off and it just wouldn’t stay in tune no matter what I did. Johnny got it perfectly back in tune and intonated. The Floyd Rose bridge is now positioned perfectly to the body and I’ve been playing it for a day, dive bombs and all, and it’s just rock solid and tuned to perfection. He did a superb job; a total pro at what he does. If you need a setup done, this is THE place to go. Thanks Johnny for all your help! 🙏🏼
This is, by far, my favorite shop (of any kind) in the entire state of Florida. Jonny is the coolest person I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with, and because of him, I will be coming back every single chance I get. There are not enough words to describe my amazing experience here. The Guitar Nook has earned a customer for life.
Awesome place with great service. They have everything you need right here in N Miami, and at the same prices as you find online...! Everything from pics and strings to beginner guitars, amps and Mid-level & high-end guitars, both acoustic and electric. Jonny is super knowledgeable, friendly and will help however he can. They do guitar service, repairs and set ups too. He gives lessons and is a fantastic teacher!Shop local & shop the best, love the Guitar Nook!
Johnny has been modding a few of my guitars. I bought an Epiphone Casino Coup and replaced the pickups, nut, tuners and strings.Sounds like a Beast from the 60s now.
Johnny was so friendly and helpful! I will definitely be back.
The sales rep was one of the nicest people Ive ever met, and he repaired my guitar issue in such a jiffy. I was barely out the door by the time he handled it personally. I would give this place 6 stars if I could.
This is a good place for guitar lovers, anything for your guitar, even classes if you are interested.Just is not a big sign to let you know is there, be aware about it. Ask the guy there for help he was very good helper, im pretty sure he will do the same to you.
Such great service. Repairs were on par (at a much lower price than guitar center) and timely. I lost the tubing piece on my guitar and replace it with a different one (a white piece instead of the manufacturer solver). I didn’t even request it to be changed, just wanted the truss rod and action altered and I just noticed that it was changed. Great service!
Shoutout Jonny for helping me fix someissues I’d been having with my classical guitar. I will be back in the future and will recommend my friends to come for any of their guitar needs.
Best repair guy around
Great place and good job :)
This is a great store. They have a lot of Fenders, some nice Gretsch pieces, and even a chess club!! Johnny is super on point with repairs. He is knowledgeable, efficient and affordable. Local and visiting musicians should be aware of this place.
Honest! Im a novice and brought my guitar here for a set up. The attendant played my guitar and after a thorough 5 min inspection he concluded that my guitar didnt need any work done to it. He could have easily taken my money and done nothing to guitar and I would have been none the wiser. We need more businesses like Guitar Nook.
The Doctah (Johnny) is an amazing guitar tech I wouldn’t trust anybody else with my guitars. Highly recommend!!!!
I ask to buy a pedal and I had tree days to get it. I couldnt go to the shop because when I was buying the item, I was in other country. All the deal has made by email. They confirmed very fast if they could get the pedal, and when I paid it, they delivered it in early hours of the day. Bernardo was very helpful, and answered me very fast every mail that I have written. I hope to meet the market when I travel to miami and buy something else.
I really like this store. The reps are knowledgeable and they do a great job on my guitar. You guys are great.
Jonny makes this place great. And plays guitar incredibly well, highly recommend lessons with him
One sales rep was extremely dismissive.I gave them a second chance with a repair. The second rep was nicer, but misquoted me on the repair at a very low price. After doing the work, he told me it was more.He compromised.Unfortunately, the work (saddle/intonation set) was done without glueing the saddle at all, so it was never actually set, the work was never actually done. I basically got a glorified string change.
This place is the epitemy of what a good music store should be: a great owner who is kind and friendly to everyone who enters through the door, plenty of guitars, basses, merch, pedals, and cables to try and buy,and repairs, setups, and general luthiering work available to be done.I would recommend that anyone in Miami or even in Florida should visit this store one day
Jonny is the heart of this beautiful quaint retail store in the North Miami area. Conveniently located, they offer lessons, guitar tech/repair, and lessons. I recently taken the guitar up again after a hiatus, and this place is just perfect for me! I recommend anyone who has a passion for music, and for guitar to visit this gem of a place. Jonny was able to setup my Fretlight, and my Steinberger guitars (two instruments that are not the easiest to work with) perfectly. 5+ stars.
Bernardo was especially helpful and quick to respond to all my emails. Got my product on time and in perfect shape, even though i was organising for a friend to pick up for me, as I do not live in the states.
These guys have my vote for sure. Not a huge place but worth it. Im definitely impressed! Will be back.
I loved it, got a new guitar there for a great price, plus great deals and discounts. Brand New guitars, bass, and acoustic guitars, there to test along with new amps, cashier and owner is very friendly. This beats Guitar Center and Sam Ash.
This place is small heaven, I found cool stuff here, I like the old vintage rock feelingJesucio
They don’t sale pianos, but customer service are excellent!!Thanks for your help
Excellent, knowledgeable, and kind service
Very good service and prices. attended quickly!
