Come On In!

Step right through the door at Fourth Ave. and Broadway into our 3,000-square-foot showroom. Hundreds of acoustic guitars, electric guitars, basses, mandolins and banjos are hanging on the walls, ready for a hands-on inspection and tryout.

We always have the world's premier collections of vintage and used fretted instruments -- the classic Gibson, Fender, Martin, Epiphone, Gretsch and Nationals. We also feature a wide selection of new instruments from Martin, Taylor, Collings, Fender and others. Is a 1950 Martin D-18 really better than a banner-peghead Gibson SJ? Does a new Fender Strat sound as good as a 1950s Strat? Gruhn's showroom is the place to find out for yourself.

If you need information or advice about buying an instrument, our sales staff is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced in the vintage world.

Our second and third floors are filled with offices, storage (each one of those instruments on the first floor has a case that takes up as much space as the instrument does) and our shipping department.

The entire fourth floor is filled by our Repair Department, where all our instruments go for inspection, setup and sometimes a complete makeover before they're ready to display.

In addition to the photos on our repair page, there's a panoramic video of Gruhn's repair shop on the website of Tom Erlewine.
