I installed new pick ups in my guitar and was having some issues with the bridge pick up and volume knobs. Dropped it off with these fine gents to troubleshoot my bad installation, about an hour later they called and told me it was ready. They easily diagnosed the issue, fixed it, and set up my pick ups for only $30. They are knowledgeable, affordable, and friendly. Hats off to this place. 10/10 would recommend.

Andrew Huber

Not the biggest selection of parts or guitars on hand, but the atmosphere and staff are great, and I'm sure if they don't have it they can probably get it

Aw, Man, I am not done with Top Shelf Guitars. The bridge pickup in my 66 tele went out in like 1993. It wasn’t until like a year ago that I sought out professional help, Jeff got my attention real fast with his knowledge of telecaster and observation of detail (as in decals,etc.) He identified a guy in NC or somewhere that used to work for a prominent pickup manufacturer but was apparently overwhelmed by his own ideas: the original pickup, re-wrapped and reinstalled using the dusty old velvety wiring at a life-affirming price. I am going about my business with this, my teenage telecaster. Thanks, Top Shelf! The guy re-used the string.

Jeff fixes my guitars as if he were doing it for a buddy. Carefully thinks it through, and consults with me before even starting. That’s pretty much exactly what anyone would ask for in a luthier to whom they’re entrusting beloved instruments. Marshall is also great to work with!

Make no mistake, I love my guitars. Unfortunately I’ve had some really bad experiences with guitar techs/luthiers. So dealing with Top Shelf was well, top shelf. Every repair I’ve trusted them with has been finished on time, reasonably priced and of exceptional quality. They even repair amps, and carry a nice selection of gear and accessories. No more guitar separation anxiety for me!

This is the best repair shop in the midwest, hands down. I have toured and lived in many states and was always looking for a shop to fix my guitar or get the intonation right after traveling and was always disappointed. The owner at top shelf is some kind of guitar Jesus. He lays his hands on your guitar, a miracle happens, and its back from tone death and better than new, speaking in new vibrant sound, guitar tongues so to speak. I will never take my guitars to any other shop.

Mike Graff

Great place to take your guitars for repairs no matter how major. For a small shop they always have a great selection of gear for sale. Always worth dropping in to check out what's in stock!

Marshall was very knowledgeable and prompt this is a business that Values its Customers New or Repetitive based! First time here and was beyond accommodating and fixed up the Guitar for me at a Reasonable price Thanks Again for your Honest and Knowledgeable prompt service

I am a novice guitarist at best. I needed a tune up on a piece of equipment I didn't understand very well. These guys fixed her right up and even after I went home and busted a string due to inexperience they took me right back in and fixed her up again. Even told me a few hints. I left a tip and they gave me a t-shirt! I will definitely be back next time I need help. Thanks for the help guys!

I took my Ibanez 5 string bass to Top Shelf Guitar for a set up and strings on Thursday talked to Marshall asked my playing style and told me it would be 2 to 3 days. He called me the next day and it was done. Great job on the set up plays great. Thank you Top Shelf Guitar 👍 Marshall and Jeff I will be back Brothers …

Bought electric guitar strings here yesterday and a case a few months ago. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Eric NIghtmare

Great customer service, Friendly small personal shop. They seem pretty knowledgeable. Even with this corona going on you can still get get a pack of fresh strings, just call ahead of time and make sure all is a go! I would definitely reccomend going here.

Needed a bass guitar, owner plugged in a few and played them, went into detail about their background and what they were best used for. This guy knows guitars. He threw in a free gig bag, shoulder strap, picks, and even shined up the fretboard and put on new strings on the spot! Fantastic one-on-one service, these guys will take care of you.

Albert Inama

I called at about 5:45 p.m. and they close at 6, I was in dire need of getting my electronic drum fixed. As I have read previous reviews they had stayed open late for other customers, so i figured I'd give it a shot. Long story short, he said come on in. He had me all fixed up ready to go in less than 5 minutes. A++++++ not to many stand up businesses around anymore, but I would recommend them all day long. And that was my first time in the shop. It's not like I'm a regular customers. Thank you guys!!!

Kevin Ponec

I take all my electric guitars here. They always do a great job. Love these guys.

Jeff has resurrected a lot of broken equipment and guitars for my family and friends over the years. He asks intelligent questions to understand your playing style and what you need so he can make suggestions. Being an incredible musician in his own right he understands these things. When you buy something from him all the years of knowledge and guidance, standing behind the gear is included in the price. He made the mistakes so you dont have to! If you want cheap cheap go see a clerk at a big box store where they employ kids who don't know products. As a wise man once told me "buy the best and you only cry once". You can find the best at Top Shelf! Follow up:. Now Jeff talks less. He stands and acknowledges your needs. Maybe grunts a little if you're saying something silly about the guitar. Then he takes it like a caveman takes a club and he FIXES it! If he had a bearskin ok he'd be the magical Fred Flintstone of guitars!! YA BA DA BA DO -- IT!!!

Chris Lyons

Nice little shop with different selections of new acoustics, ukeleles, used electric guitars and amps of all sizes. Great selection of parts, strings and accessories not seen in many other stores! Very approachable and kind staff, good small business.

Jose Federico

Great guitar shop. I mostly go there for small parts and strings however, I took my LP for a set up and the result was great and service was pretty quick.

Madilyn Larsh

Excellent service, great prices, and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to anything that has to do with guitars. Top Shelf Guitar Shop will always steer you in the right direction. Thanks for everything!

Cascio told me that the neck of my 38 year old guitar was bent and I needed to buy a new one. However here at Top Shelf they simply fixed it on the spot . Amazing!!

Ben Tozer

Really nice and good service. Go here for sure.. Gave my kids free kazoos so wasn't sure if I wanted to give them zero stars or five stars.

I took my Baby Taylor in to have the strings replaced and a few repairs, got it back in a couple of hours and it plays beautifully again. Helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly staff as well 👍🏼 …

Kevin Pappas

I dropped my SG off for a while new setup, and needed my wiring re-soldered. I dropped it off at 1, and it was ready by 6! I took it straight to practice and it plays and sounds like a dream. I'll definitely be taking it back for any thing I need.

BE SURE TO CALL BEFORE YOU GO HERE. It's a nice shop and conveniently located a mile from where I live... but it's run by musicians... and as such they seem to perpetuate the stereotype of musicians being flakes... I've walked the mile to the shop twice in recent months for strings, picks, etc... only to find it closed during regular business hours... I have a tough time not just going to online dealers when this occurs.

Marshall is really knowledgeable and was great helping me figure out what was needed, since I know nothing about guitars.. He was very helpful getting our Peavey guitar back in working order again so my daughter can learn to play it.
