About
Guitar StoreMusical Instrument Store
The history of Eddie's Guitars dates back to 1971, when shop owner Ed Putney went into business. His passion for music dates back to the 1950s when he began taking classical piano lessons. In the home parlor where he took his lessons, Ed's passion for guitar was born. Sitting across from the Steinway Grand Piano where he sat were two Gibson guitars that he lusted to learn how to play. Unfortunately, it was not in the cards for him to learn, as his parents forbid him to play guitar. They were worried he “would turn out like Elvis Presley!” Throughout being in business in the '70s and '80s, Ed realized his passion for guitars could be translated into another area — sales. It was during that time that he committed to selling the best guitars.

- ARAndy ROct 18, 20253.0Purchased a “used” guitar online from this business. It was not exactly the sound I wanted, tried to return within the 48 hour return window. They informed me no returns are allowed on “used” guitars. First I have seen this policy, just because I was purchasing a “used” guitar from them. If you do purchase from them, just be aware. It is in their policy if you read the details. I just saw that 48 hour returns were allowed, didn’t see the exclusions (of which used guitars is one) until I went back and reviewed when they denied the return. I would have never purchased had I known this policy, that’s on me for not getting into the exclusions. But I would never buy an online guitar from a place that won’t let you return after you have a chance to play it. That’s a really bad business practice, in my opinion. And shows that they are not really interested in making sure you find the right guitar. Obviously, I will not be buying anything from them in the future.

Griffin was amazing! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable with no pressure to purchase whatsoever. We ended up buying two Taylor’s! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!!
- ERErmias RegassaJul 18, 20255.0Girorgi I believe you as the one that helped us purchase a guitar for our niece’s first guitar. Very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to annoy everyone with my poor laying skills and they didn’t mind at all. I’ll come back to purchase an electric guitar for myself in the near future. Thanks for your warm service.
- TTToni Tallman (T2kizz)Aug 3, 20235.0Honestly one of the coolest shops I’ve been too. Super knowledgeable and kind staff. Beautiful playing area, quiet, and private.
