Great selection of guitars, bass, banjo, you name it. Classic locally owned shop with great service.

Probably best guitar shop in the Charlottesville area. The old man behind the counter is always quite funny.

The selections pretty good but service isn't very friendly. It's also got a "don't come here unless ur gonna buy something" vibe too. Was gonna buy some strings but then decided not to.

Wonderful son and father business. Unfortunately, their selection is what I refer to as "The Great Wall of China and Other Asian Guitars". Usually nothing American, new or old. That would be fine if these Asian guitars, including a few from Vietnam, didn't have "Made in USA" prices. The store is fun but the prices are way off for oversea's guitars where labor charges are only $3-10 a day.(boutique pickups or not). Still worth a visit though. Go and have fun.

Great spot! Huge selection of instruments. I started playing guitar in 2020 after deciding lockdown was a good time to do something I've wanted to do for 40 years. Visited this place last summer when I was in Charlottesville for something completely unrelated, and it was a great experience for me and my kid. I'm raising a drummer, so the drum room was a hit. I loved looking at the guitars, with a lot of the standard brands and some nice Tagima & Dillion instruments as well. We'll be back.

I searched EVERYWHERE nationally for a particular electric guitar, and finally found one on their website. Calling them on the phone, they not only answered (!) but generously spent time cutting me a wonderful deal. They then shipped the guitar several days sooner than they said they would. The guitar arrived expertly packed and with all hang tags and literature for both the guitar and case. Larry and the crew at Specialty Guitars are a class act. Trust them for an internet sale 100%.

I absolutely love this store! It has a variety of well-known guitar brands and brands that you wouldn't see in commercial music stores and would have to order. There's everything here for the beginner to the seasoned professional - electric and acoustic guitars; basses; ukuleles; banjos; mandolins; amps; small selection of books and supplies. There are also keyboards, drums amd some wind instruments. More importantly, the staff and its teachers are friendly and very knowledgeable and go above and beyond to help you with your musical needs.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Lots of guitars and amps you won't find in other physical stores. Effects pedals could have more variety, but they also have pedals I don't find in guitar center or elsewhere. Everything from clone/budget to boutique.

Hands down, the most awesome selection of guitars in town. Larry and his son are awesome people and are always helpful. I've been a loyal customer since 2009, and have gotten some of the best deals I've ever received from Larry. Highly recommended.
