Reviews of Acoustic Vibes Music
Mike Ridgeway
What a fantastic shop! These are experts that obviously have great passion for what they do.
They take the time to answer all of your questions and allow you to try any of their beautiful guitars. As with many customers I'm sure, I went into the shop thinking I would get one guitar, but two hours (and an irritating amount of questions) later I ended up purchasing a completely different -- and for me
at least -- far better guitar. I can't say enough about the experience. This receives my highest recommendation for anyone interested in learning about, and hopefully purchasing a new guitar.

This is hands DOWN the best instrument store I have ever been to. I was greeted by Dylan and Phil who brought me into the shop and showed me the selection of ukuleles they had. I had already browsed the website and knew what I wanted, and of course they had it in stock! I tried a few others and explored other parts of the shop too, because I also play guitar. They have such a beautiful selection, and you can tell they really care about your buying experience and quality of their instruments. They even gave me a case with the ukulele so I didn’t have to buy one separate. I also found out that they have 3 certified luthiers working there so if I need a repair, they’ll be here to help - and they’ll already know me and my new uke. Woo hoo! Everyone here was so friendly, and I can definitely say I’d recommend this shop to anyone whose interested in buying an acoustic instrument. I’m super happy with them. Thanks acoustic vibes!!
Travis Lewellyn
Great shop! Came recommended and couldn’t be happier with the experience. I needed a bridge repair and found my new shop in the process. They carry an impressive selection of high end and custom guitars. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Go check them out if you’re in the area and need a repair or a new guitar.
Gregory Clement
From my first inquiry through the their web site, Phil and Dylan were helpfully and graciously engaged with me as a new customer. Phil is a far better guitarist than I,
but was refreshingly authentic and a real pro.
He sold and installed an LR Baggs Anthem in my aged production guitar with great care. His inventory of wonderful high end guitars is considerable, yet he treated my D35 copy like a real Martin. The new pick up performed well in the store, and I will be returning for the next set of strings and installation of a bridge plate reinforcement. Can't say enough good things about the guys at Acoustic Vibes. Please check them and their guitars out.
Liv Carman
I had a great experience bringing my acoustic guitar in for a setup. Great quality work, good communication, fast turnaround time, and the price was very reasonable. I definitely plan to come back if I ever need repair work or maintenance done on my guitars in the future.
Roger Evans
These guys did a fantastic job of getting my eight- year-old Takemine set-up to a better than factory spec set-up.The guitar plays better now than ever before. I am convinced that the set-up from the factory was not per spec. I really feel like I have a new guitar. I now want them to do the same on three other guitars I have. These techs really know what they are doing! I highly recommend their services!!!!
John Templet
Received the guitar a few days later and it was very securely packaged by Acoustic Vibes. The guitar was just as pictured on their site… very glad they take the time to actually photograph the instrument you’re interested in from all angles. The Guild J55-12 was in excellent condition and the setup was superb. It’s very easy to play and the sound is amazing!!!
The actual transaction was easy and they even texted me back after they were closed!! That’s true customer service…. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes to anyone interested in purchasing quality instruments!
Marc Jenkinson
Good times @ Acoustic Vibes. First time there, walked out with a Taylor. Great sounding demo room, temperature was perfect. Nice selection of the type of guitar I was looking for. Answered all my questions, also gave me some good advice, gave me space and time to enjoy the guitars and the room. Every guitar I played was also setup great. All around 5 star experience. Thnx.
Michael Madavi
Amazing acoustic guitar shop. Fantastic selection, Phil helped me out and let me play anything I wanted, made suggestions, sat and played with me to help pick up differences. I ended up with a Collings and I’m completely in love with it. One of the best guitar shops I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot. If you need a good acoustic, come here.
Mark Martin
The best guitars ever all in one place. I got to play a D 43 ,taught that would never happen. The employee was very friendly and knowledgeable, he explained the wood types and their characteristics in regards to tone .over build ,underbuild . Awesome place to buy your dream guitar.
Spencer Lee
Phil helped me out and was super patient and very knowledgeable. I am happy with my purchase and I would recommend coming in here for your high end acoustic needs.
Steve Burns
Acoustic Vibes is well-known as a seller of fine guitars. Our experience today was a delight. I got to play guitars that are far beyond my budget, as well as affordable ones that sound great. I bought a myrtle Breedlove that sounds awesome. It is also beautiful. I’ll enjoy it for a long time. All in all, I recommend that anyone with a serious interest in guitars make this their first stop in their search.
William Voss
If you’re interested in great guitars and service, then you should stop by Acoustic Vibes Music. A year ago I purchased a Bedell guitar from them and it was a reasonable deal on a great guitar. I look forward to visiting this place when I get the chance and recommend it to anyone seeking a guitar without hesitation!
Sal Arnuk
Gave me space. Brought me lifetime guitars to try out. Good pricing. And Dylan was extremely knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. And now I have me a new Iris guitar. Easy. Like it should be.
Paul McLaughlin
The service was excellent. Guitar choices and attributes were explained well and staff was easy to deal with. Received good advice on the product that met my needs. Highly recommended. And lots of good choices too choose from.
Joel Cutri
This is one of those music shops that really take pride in their craft. The staff is super knowledgeable, very helpful, and just plain cool. I bought my Taylor here, and it's the best instrument I've ever owned. I brought it in for its first complimentary setup, and I also had Phil swap out the chrome tuners for some satin black ones. A simple modification that doesn't take much time at all, but he could've charged me for it. He didn't though. Those small things are the type of care that makes life long customers. I trust my investment with Acoustic Vibes Music 100% and would recommend anyone going there for any luthier work or to purchase a high end instrument.
Hugo Collier
Outstanding selection of high quality acoustic instruments. Great service, too. Recently came in to get a O or OO size parlor guitar. They had a great selection of popular brands but also lesser known makers. Ended up going with a OO made by a local luthier. The staff was friendly and answered my questions. They never hovered or were pushy.
Matthew Englund
One of the best music shops I have been too - and thats saying something. Immaculate and a truly excellent selcetion of acoustic instruments. I love that you can schedule an appointment. Phil was great to work with. Do not be frightened away by some of the more expensive instruments - they have a good selection across many price-points. If youre in the market for a fine instrument and frustrated with places like guitar center - check them out!
Tyler Hartman
There was a time in my life where I bought guitars from Guitar Center. That was a dark, depressing time. I once purchased an Alvarez Yairi Masterworks Grand Auditorium from their website, and was sent a non-Yairi Alvarez Parlor guitar instead. This is what happens when you go with the wrong guitar retailer. I have now seen the glorious light, and found Acoustic Vibes Music. I’ve been very interested in Furch guitars for a while, and I’ve never felt comfortable enough buying one without playing one. Thankfully, Acoustic Vibes had a thoughtful and excellent demo video of the exact guitar I was looking at, on the same page as the specs and closeup pictures, and all of the information that an uncertain shopper like me could ever need. After the sale they called me and asked how I wanted the guitar setup and strung. Fun fact, Guitar Center doesn’t do that. I’m going to be an Acoustic Vibes guy from now on.
Levi Salyers
Dustin was super cool to talk to and Acoustic Vibes performed the exact service I was looking for. They had a quick turnaround and the prices were very reasonable. You guys gained a new regular today.
Karen Kniep Blanton
We had a wonderful experience getting my daughter her first full-size Taylor guitar. Super knowledgeable and helpful staff made the experience low pressure and fun.
Brian
I’ve been at this for 50 years now so I speak from experience when I say Accoustic Vibes has all the necessary ingredients you’re looking for and they are necessary! First, they have the instruments. Second, they have the time and knowledge to help guide you through the myriad of exotic woods, tonal qualities, and styles.Finally, they provide these in a friendly, comfortable setting so you can take your time to explore the puppies. Absolutely the best in Phoenix area….

Love this place, won’t ever take my guitars anywhere else. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside is going there makes me want to buy another guitar.
Joshua Webber
Setup my guitar to a pretty satisfactory degree. The only thing they can't do is apparently break the laws of physics, but when they figure that part out I will figure out how to give them more than 5 starts. lol. Also I wasn't there to get a guitar, but that is one hell of a sick collection.
Edit: After getting even more time to spend with it I just keep noticing little attention to details I didn't before and each little thing has been a pleasant surprise. These luthiers know their stuff!
Patrick McConnell
Dylan was super at customer service. Had a Hofner Bass in need of adjustments and new strings. Excellent job, very reasonable priced. I just moved here from Minnesota, and I’ve found my new “go to” place for all 6 of my guitars. Also, impressed with their inventory of quality products offered . I own two Taylors, (T5 twelve string, and Taylor Mini) Fender Strat, PRS Studio, Martin D28, and Hofner Bass.
Glen
I'm a new guitar player and was in the market for a midsize guitar. There were no shops in my small town to go and try some out to see what was a good fit. I messaged Acoustic Vibes Music with some questions about what they thought would be a good fit. I got an immediate response with some recommendations. I looked at photos and spec's of their guitars shown on line. Then called with additional questions. Jeff took the time to answer all in a friendly and pleasant manner. The sale was completed in late morning and on the truck head my way by late afternoon. Guitar arrived in mint condition. The Martin 000 is a perfect for my hand, making it easy to move around on the fret board. Communication was great through the whole process. When I'm in the market for another guitar I will be heading to Acoustic Vibes Music.
Nicholas Riley
Jeff,
I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the team at your store after my visit this morning. My wife Wendy and I dropped in to view your selection of guitars. We were quickly greeted by Nikki who was not only very friendly, but also extremely knowledgeable. She immediately made us feel at home and we were welcomed to play any of the instruments. This was a very pleasantly different environment than your typical guitar store here in the valley. Nikki listened to some concerns I have with one of my guitars and offered luthier services if needed. After playing some guitars for about 30 minutes we were greeted by Bernie who was quick to find some common interests with us. He offered a wealth of knowledge about the guitars I was interested in and helped narrow down what was ultimately quite a tough decision of what to purchase. The store was filled with acoustic dreams, some of which one could never imagine seeing in person. We decided to purchase a pre-owned, but like new Taylor PS-16CE, something that Bernie helped make happen with a very fair negotiation. Thank you to Bernie and Nikki, and thank you Jeff for providing such an amazing place to visit and experience. Wendy and I hope to visit more over the coming years and Acoustic Vibes Music will undoubtedly be our first visit for all acoustic needs.
Cheers,
Nicholas and Wendy Riley
Rick Cowlin
Acoustics vibes music is one of my favorite places to visit, but this visit was to bring in my Taylor 810 e that I purchased there 4 years ago. Phil Tuman is outstanding and his knowledge is second to none when it comes to guitars. I'm grateful for the personal attention they gave my guitar and it's never looked or sounded better. I highly recommend that before you purchase a guitar anywhere, stop by their shop and I guarantee you won't be disappointed that you did.
Hondo Hunter
I recently took one of my guitars into Acoustic Vibes for some much needed repair work. Dillon did a fantastic job on my guitar in a timely fashion and charged a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend their work to anyone.
Tony
Very good experience! Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I worked with Phil, who assisted me with my purchase, and I was very satisfied with my experience.
In addition to selling music guitar, they offered me great info on maintenance, and offered to adjust the guitar once I break it in a bit. This was a far better buying experience than going to a big corporation like Guitar Center.
The guitars were all also in outstanding shape. There were no duds! They obviously take very good care of them!
Chethan Mudiyam
Well worth the trip. Service is excellent - they took care of setups for both electric and acoustic guitars, and replaced a broken switch on the electric. High quality work with appropriate turnaround given how busy they are.
And if you’re buying? Nice showroom with several options. All the guitars are in excellent shape, and they allow you to play/compare them so you’re making an informed purchase. Kind, knowledgeable, and communicative staff. Dylan in particular has been extremely helpful both with sales and with repair work, even going so far as to make some simple adjustments on short notice. Great shop.
David MusicAZ
A music colleague of mine recommended Acoustic Vibes, so I took my Seagull acoustic/electric guitar to them and was very pleased with both the repair work and turnaround time! Also, the price for the repairs was extremely reasonable.... I was expecting it to cost a lot more! I will be returning to Acoustic Vibes for any future guitar needs!
James Rooster Olson
I’m James Rooster Olson and have been blessed to play guitar for numerous top Nashville stars in my career. I found out about Acoustic Vibes after moving from Nashville to Scottsdale a few years ago. This has been my fav acoustic shop ever. They typically have a huge selection of high end guitars and allow the players to really spend time alone while making your decision. The staff is always clean, professional and knowledgeable and do not hover trying to make a sale….I have bought a Santa Cruz OM Grand and a Martin CS 00028 1937 from AV. The owner has been willing to work with retail prices as well. Great classy shop !!
Dean Merrill
Phil Truman was very professional and friendly. My daughters guitar needed some work and Acoustic Vibes Music replaced the strings, adjusted the action snd cleaned the guitar. There was no wait to meet them and pick up through their reservation system. I am very pleased with their service.
Mark Powell
Awesome service in buying and shipping and the wife loved the Martin Ukulele both quality and beautiful appearance of the woodgrain and craftsmanship.
Thank you so much.
Bill Blake
What a terrific experience. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and experienced. They have a wide variety of instruments to choose from and make the process of finding the right one very enjoyable. Lots of opportunity and time to try out different models and hear the pros and cons for each. From beginning to end a delightful experience. I highly recommend.
Robert Gordon
Phil is so knowledgeable and helpful. The selection of guitars is impressive. I will use Acoustic Vibe for all my acoustic guitars.
Dean Capone
Great guys very knowledgeable. My guitar never sounded better. Also great selection of guitars to purchase
Lucian Neal
Lots of great guitars, excellent product knowledge, very helpful. Also efficient and flexible. Purchase from Acoustic Vibes Music with no reservations.
Lance Norman
The facility is awesome with many high end instruments available! Including Martin, Taylor, Maka, to name a few. Phil was incredible to work with - answered all my questions, and took time to listen for what I was looking for. His customer service and caring attitude was refreshing. Being a Luthier and player himself, gave him unique insight into questions about the instruments and things to consider. It was a great experience! I will be returning in the future
Luis Martinez
Nice acoustic selection. Found the perfect guitar that I was searching for. The staff was very helpful. I’ll definitely be back!
Glenn Swain
I went to acoustic vibes to have Phil set up my new Martin G-15M and put in a pick up. Acoustic vibes set up my first Martin. There’s no one else I’d rather take a guitar to than to Phil and the guys at acoustic vibes. They are the very best.
Tom Haley
Phil explained all adjustments and extra work required to get my Taylor fixed up
He was awesome! And super knowledgeable!!
Ric Martinez
Fantastic service. Found the instrument I was looking for and asked questions after hours on a closed day via their site. Got a response within 10 min. They did all they said they would as soon as open. Top Notch!
jose carlos corona
Outstanding place, incredible guitars, and the Best if all is that you can see and feel the guitars, im sure you will get in love at least in one.
Jason Moss
Great job at setting up
My acoustic guitar. Prices are fair and they are easy to work with.
Marv McCarthy
I started taking guitar lessons about a month ago after many years away from music. I found a link to Acoustic Vibes as a Breedlove Distinctive Dealer in Phoenix, so I stopped by to get acquainted. After several weeks of research I came back to the store to demo some instruments, and ended up purchasing a Breedlove Legacy Auditorium guitar.
The staff was knowledgable and amazing to work with. Phil spent several hours with me explaining the ins and outs of several different instruments, and demo'ing them extensively so I could get a detailed comparison to make an informed decision. Kathryn was very helpful in the check-out process and in getting me successfully out the door with a great instrument. They both made me feel right at home and I left knowing that I have a terrific partner in Acoustic Vibes as my musical journey progresses.
Thank you to Jeff and the entire team for making my buying experience a positive one!
Hondo Hunter
I took one of my guitars into Acoustic Vibes to have some repair work done on it. Dillon did a fantastic job on my guitar in a timely fashion and charged a very reasonable price. I highly recommend their work to anyone.
Derek Hannah
Great guitar shop. Great service. Not overcrowded and obnoxious like the big box music stores. I think the term guitar gallery is more apt than the term guitar store, and I mean that in a good way. If you love and appreciate finely crafted acoustic guitars, you need to check out this store.
Marilyn Looker
The offering of fine quality instruments is unmatched in this store. Both Phil and Jeff are incredibly knowledgeable about the guitars and Nikki and Phil are two of the most excellent Luthiers you’ll ever meet.
John Knightly
I have a family heirloom 1967 Guild that needed some serious work. This guitar is so special because my mother gave it to my father as a college graduation gift! Acoustic Vibes is the only place I would have considered taking it. I had never had a guitar repaired there before, but having shopped there, I knew they know their stuff. The repair work was on time, the guitar looks and sounds great and the staff is always willing to spend a minute or 20 to explain how something works or why something was designed in a certain way. Great job Kirk and Phil, and I hope I’m back soon for shopping as they have the most amazing selection of Acoustic guitars. I fall in love with two or three of them every time I stop in.
Stephen Strauss
Had a tuneup/setup on my 25 year old Taylor acoustic along with some new strings. Also needed to lift the saddle slightly. The pros at Acoustic Vibes did their usual great job. It's the place to shop for high quality instruments AND to repair or tune up your own instrument.
Jeff thomson
I bought a beautiful lightly used Furch “red Series” guitar. As usual the staff was friendly and informative. They installed a great pickup and I brought it home. The action was too high so asked to have it lowered. Phil flattened the neck. within minutes of my return to the store. Now it is Perfect!
I have purchased a great Lowden and a very reasonably priced F type mandolin at AV. They are also perfect. A terrific store and staff!
anthony b
I went in for a repair consultation and was extremely impressed with the staff. It was a minor issue. I made another visit with a second guitar, they took their time, accessed the extent of the damage and explained what needed to be done. Each time there they were very helpful and explained not only my repairs but answered questions on guitars I was looking at in their shop. No pressure to buy anything but very helpful and friendly. When I came back to pick up my repaired Martin , I again played the guitar I was looking at. No pressure, but very helpful in helping me make a decision. I have another great guitar for my collection.
Great staff. Great store!
Thank you
David Rahbany
Excellent prices, expert advice.
I really enjoyed my purchasing experience with Acoustic Vibes Music. They are well informed subject matter experts on the products they sell and they provide white-glove service; even for customers that may not be purchasing the most expensive instrument they sell. I had the pleasure of chatting with Dylan who helped me chose the right options for my instrument. I highly recommend them.
Gary Upton
I was looking for dealers for the Collings guitars. I hoped to find someone local, however the few that was around was out of stock. I seen Acoustic vibes website and the had the exact model I was looking for. I spoke with Phil and he answerd all my questions and we talked about my concerns. I needed guitar to be delivered befor the weekend because I would not be available for a few days after Friday. Phil got my guitar to me today...one day early. It appears to be in good shape...no visible damage from shipping, however it was very warm so letting it acclimate over night before I open it. I hope it's in the condition that they promised and that it's all I hoped it would be...but for now it's wait time. Thanks Acoustic Vibes for great customer service. I will definitely use this company again.
angie mcintire
Top notch service, amazing showroom. I’m very impressed with Acoustic Vibes. Phil is exceptional at his craft. Brought my Taylor guitar in for a setup and some tlc and I’m so happy with the work, the quick turnaround and the price.
Ralph Sudbury
I don’t use the word often, but my salesperson (Dylan) was amazing. His knowledge, personality, and caring was a huge help as I picked out my 4th new guitar. In addition to Dylan, the collection of quality guitars and the entire store set up was impressive. I had brought in a couple of used guitars for stringing and cleaning up. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Glad to have found Acoustic Vibes.
BigPapaK K
Could not be happier with my Gretsch! Went in and met with Dylan. We chatted about the guitar, my playing style and how the set up can go. The experience was welcoming, friendly and educational. Dylan did a great job with the set up. Awesome!
Rick Johnson
My experience with Acoustic Vibes had been great. First, their website is excellent, plenty of high quality pics of the Insturments with full specifications. They are very responsive with regard to questions, as well as, asking questions to make sure I understand what I was buying, what type of strings I like etc. I have bought 2 guitars and the both came setup very well, and had new strings installed after purchase. Both guitars were packed and shipped extremely well. Overall a great experience, and I look forward to doing business with them in the future.
Mike Kniep
Acoustic Vibes and Phil, thank you! I somehow nicked the edge of the neck on my Martin Custom and Phil did a perfect repair job on it. He is a skilled Luthier and is my go to guy for anything acoustic guitar. Acoustic Vibes is the best guitar shop certainly in the greater Phoenix area, and better than anything that is available in my home state of Washington. Their selection of high quality instruments is second to none in my opinion. And they keep them perfectly humidified. If you are looking for a special acoustic guitar, banjo, or mandolin , you won’t be disappointed! They ask that you call for an appointment, and you will see why. You will never go back to Guitar Center again! Five stars is not enough for this wonderful business!
Steve Gibbs
This is a beautiful store with an unparalleled selection of mid and high end guitars and services supported by a very courteous and knowledgeable staff.
Keith Pennington
This shop was recommended to me by my guitar teacher a couple of years ago. My dad had a 1970s Alvarez that needed some repairs done, so I took it to them. Their prices for the amount of repair work they did was very reasonable, and the guitar played SO much better once we got it back. They also communicated frequently throughout the process to let me know what they were doing and what else needed to be done. Today, I returned to have some setups done, and to have my dads 1970s era Gibson Les Paul headstock repaired. While I was there I fell in love with a guitar, so I traded in one of my guitars I was originally going to get setup for the one I loved in the shop. The owner offered me a very reasonable trade-in amount towards the new guitar and I left very satisfied. I look forward to going again to pick up my guitars once they are fully set up, I know they will do a wonderful job and that my instruments will sound and play amazingly once they are done with them! I will never hesitate to recommend and utilize this shop for all of my guitar needs now and in the future!!
Jarrad H
Great customer service, awesome selection of guitars and did a fantastic job repairing my guitar. Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommended.
Peter Collins
So far so good. Site is easily accessible as so are the staff. The site gave a clear illustration of the instruments which are also well represented in their photos and videos. When I called to ask questions, their representative was most helpful. Negotiating terms were excellent and I felt confident to make a purchase of a fine signature guitar.
Prior to shipping, I was called and asked if I had any set up preferences and string preferences. This has never happened anywhere else when I’ve made an online purchase so, I was very impressed. All that remains is for my signature guitar to arrive safely and I have 48 hours to audition it. Based on my communications, I have every conference that my new guitar will be as good as it should be.
Zacharias Tarver
Acoustic Vibes was a breath of fresh air I desperately needed after crawling through the trenches of Guitar Center to try and get a quality instrument. I had found these guys after some research, I was immediately helped, given recommendations, and most importantly their instruments were dusted and in great condition. I will be returning here to give these folks my business. Great Job!!
William Daschach
Incredible range of higher end acoustic guitars. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. One of the coolest guitar stores I’ve been in.
Robert “Bobby” Sisk
Incredible inventory of acoustic guitars! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff! Highly recommend!
Terence Treppa
Jeff and his Luther's are courteous and helpful. They sell high end guitars, mandolins, banjos, and ukuleles.
Bob Card
Would give them 6 stars. Service exceeds expectations! Fair prices and quick turnaround.
Jason Miller
These guys are great! Very knowledgeable (and patient) staff. Did an adjustment on my Taylor and she's better than new. Great selection of acoustic guitars too!
John Zielinski
Acoustic Vibes is a great place to buy a guitar. I’ve been playing for over 40 years and bought a Collings acoustic. It’s my “dream” guitar! The staff was very knowledgeable and just let me play what I wanted for as long as I wanted. They answered my questions and really made me a great deal! I could not be happier! I play drums in a band and have played music my whole life. I choose who I buy my gear from very carefully. I would recommend Acoustic Vibes to anyone looking for a guitar, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, this place is the best! Thanks!
Timothy Durkin
I recently had the guys at AVM do some repair work on my 30 year old Taylor 810 that unfortunately got damaged when my rambunctious 80 lbs Labrador retriever decided to run “through” the guitar in search of some dad playtime. This resulted in cracks to the waist and lower bout. It also badly needed some fretwork. Obviously not the type of guitar or damage I wanted to submit to just anyone. The work was excellent, price was competitive and turn around time impressive. Acoustic Vibes is my go-to shop for all my acoustic guitar needs. They also do excellent setup work on acoustics and electrics. Thanks Dylan, Jeff and crew.
Chad Freeman
Great service. Great setup. Saved me some $ when they dug into the guitar. Will definitely be back.
Daniel Percy
They took care of a crack repair on my Larrivee and a setup. It plays great and the repair was top notch.
drewcandoo5909
I found a banjo online and contacted Jeff and Phil. They were amazing to deal with! Quick responses, helpful information, outstanding follow up, and overall, Great to deal with! I was able to negotiate my purchase quickly and easily. They clearly have mine and their consignment customer’s interests at heart! I would work with them again in a second. The banjo was a find and so was this store.
Kris Bastien
Thank you Jeff and team as I was very please with the service provided, fixing a few of my guitars. Everyone was very knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciate the he time provided to ask many questions as I did not feel rushed. I am interested in buying another guitar in the future and would hoping to find a the right one at your shop. Please know that I have already recommended you to friends and will continue to do so in the future. Keep up the great work serving the community.

I had visited several stores trying to find a nice higher end acoustic guitar with little to no success. Acoustic Vibes had a fantastic selection and a knowledgeable friendly staff. Phil helped me select the perfect guitar. His knowledge and patience were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend them.
Duane Steinbrink
Outstanding customer service. The selection of high end guitars is better than anywhere else in the Valley. Kyle, Dylan , and Phil are very knowledgeable, friendly, respectful, and patient. This is definitely the first place I’ll stop when looking another instrument.
Michael Castro
My experience with Acoustic Vibes was a very pleasant surprise. They are a full service operation. I was looking for a Cordoba Torres guitar. Most places don't t have it in stock and are happy to order one for you. Wait time is 6-7 months if you can get it. Acoustic had two in stock so I got to pick the one I liked best. The sales personnel are professional and knowledgeable . The two I spoke two were trained luthiers. This is not typical of most shops I have been to. If you are looking for sales and service after the sale Acoustic will not disappoint.
Devante Vargas
Kyle from Acoustic Vibes Music was very helpful, friendly and encouraging in my journey to play guitar and in my selection for this particular model. It was a pleasure talking to Kyle, and due to the personal approach to their customer service I know I will be buying through them from now on. They made the whole process easy and stress free and made it their priority to ensure the experience was great.
Thank you Kyle, even though I’m in Minnesota I know I’ll be making a trip to visit your store when I’m in Arizona next time!
Shawn Jackson
Superb group of guys and beautiful guitar haven. Phil and Dillon took care of a Martin and Foley and made them flawless…took the time to answer questions and both simply professionals. THE place to have guitar health checked and done.
Keith Baldwin
Very cool store - felt like I died and ended up in guitar heaven! In addition to the awesome guitars, the team working there is too notch. Very knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. Really enjoyed my visit there and appreciated the work they did on my guitar.
Scott Bluemel
Dylan at Acoustic Vibes did an amazing job replacing the frets and setting up my guitar! He finished the work a week ahead of when he said he would have it done, and was very professional and helpful throughout the process! The guitar is easier to play and sounds fantastic! Thank you Dylan!
Rick Schaffer
A.V. has the finest upscale selection of acoustic instruments that I've ever seen in a retail store. I always deal with Phil and he is amazing. An extremely knowledgeable luthier (he does all the work on all my guitars - acoustic and electric), he's a great guy just to talk to about guitars. I highly recommend visiting this store if you're in Phoenix. Warning - it'll take you a few hours to get through just half of what they stock!
Daniel Gay
Phil and Dylan have always been very helpful and knowledgeable answering all my questions and concerns with my guitars. They aren't pushy trying to sell new guitars. They want the best guitar for each customer.
John Frahm
I was searching for a new Taylor and found this 214CE at Acoustic Vibes Music. I wasn’t sure about ordering a guitar online without seeing it but their reviews were good and I took a chance. After I placed my order I was called about setup and shipping and Phil was professional and great to talk to. My guitar arrived safe and it not only looks great but sounds great. Thanks Acoustic Vibes

Great experience with Acoustic Vibes. First - great selection of mandolins, including the Collings model I wanted. Second, they called me almost immediately after I ordered online -- Phil wanted to verify my order and ask me if I wanted him to restring the mando with new strings before shipping (yes please!). I've never had that offer made anywhere else when I've bought a NEW instrument. Outstanding customer service. Third - the mandolin shipped within a day and arrived extremely quickly, and the packing was pristine. The instrument arrived in outstanding shape. These guys were a pleasure to deal with, and their website will be my first destination for my next buy. I highly recommend them.

I took my Martin D-Custom Shop in for some warrant work (binding separation). It took a while, but Phil and crew did a masterful job getting it just right. The guitar looks and plays better than ever! Many thanks to the service pros at Acoustic
Vibes!

These folks are 1st rate, have purchased several guitars here and was always treated with respect and they go out of their way to make sure your satisfied. Great setups on the instruments and they do it as you ask. Jeff the owner is always extremely friendly and helpful, he has helped me many times when other dealers didn’t want to be bothered. I highly recommend this store they don’t disappoint! Try them once and you’ll be a customer forever. Jerry in Oregon

Fantastic store with an amazing selection of gear and incredible staff. Was looking to purchase a quality guitar and the team at Acoustic Vibes talked me through many options and helped me select the perfect item. They even worked closely with me on set up options as well as string choice.
The entire experience was outstanding and highly recommend Acoustic Vibes Music. I have been involved with music for over 30 years and this was one of the best purchase experiences.
Kevin Phoenix
One of my strings broke on my classical guitar, and I came here to get a replacement set. The guy here was super helpful and even provided some tips and instructions on how to tie them since this was my first time installing tie-end strings (they had ball end too, I just wanted to try this specific set). Would recommend for your acoustic needs!
Chris Shy
This store is amazing! I made an appointment to have them look at 20+ year old Gibson I had purchased and had shipped to me. We drove 2.5 hrs to get here to have them look at it and it was totally worth it! The inventory alone is worth booking an appointment to go into Acoustic Vibes Music. They were very prompt with the appointment time and didn’t try to upsale me on anything.
Phil the Luthier, took his time to show me everything he was looking at for damage or potential issues. The main concern I had turned out to not even be an issue with the guitar (again, they didn’t try to upsale or take advantage of the situation). Phil did find one potential problem that could be fixed now (preventative maintenance) to save me a few hundred dollars later. I will definitely bring my business here again.

I have purchased several high end guitars from Acoustic Vibes over the past 5 years, since living in Arizona. Not only do they have phenomenal stock (even right now while stock is limited), but their staff is super helpful. They answered all my questions, played a few guitars for me so I could hear how the guitar sounded from the listener's perspective, and let me hang around as long as I want playing these magnificent guitars. They are also the only ones I trust to service and repair my guitars. I live in Northern Arizona and drive 2 hours each way several times a year to play my way through their inventory.
I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes.
Esteban Albarran
I recommend this place to anybody that’s looking for a quality acoustic guitar. Amazing place with an amazing selection!
Scott Knoblich
Phil was super helpful in my decision to purchase my new Martin. He was super knowledgeable and very professional. I visited the store for the first time this past winter while visiting my brother who raved about Acoustic Vibes. I was not disappointed.
Eric M
I took my ‘89, humidity control neglected Taylor 615 in to repair two cracks in the top (one old, one new). It also had a neck joint rattle that was a bit concerning. Since the guitar had never gone into the shop for maintenance, I was worried about what other underlying issues from a lack of regular care may need to be addressed along with the severity of the known issues. Cut to the chase, the repairs were addressed nicely, communication was great, the guys are super friendly, they called to discuss what they had found, progress, suggested a fret dressing from normal wear and tear and got it all done exactly on time as planned. The guitar sounds and plays great, the crack repairs look as good as one could hope and the cost was incredibly reasonable. Five stars across the board.
Lewis Eades
Purchased a mandolin from Acoustic Vibes Music and it was a smooth process from start to playing music.
Adam Reed
Acoustic Vibes has an amazing collection of high end guitars! They are kind, reasonable with price, and great to work with when maintaining and repairing your instruments. I highly recommend them! I am an on going and returning customer!
John Orth
I had an old Martin guitar( 1969 ) had a thin crack that ran several inches . Upon rec of Marting guitars , I took it to Acoustic Vibes. They were very helpful did a great job and pricing was very fair. Great group.
James Williams
Outstanding experience every time I come here over the past 12 years - to purchase, to sell, for setups, pickup installs. if you have a boutique, vintage, or really quality acoustic guitar, these guys know what they’re doing!
mark stiekman
An awesome experience at Acoustic Vibes. Phil knows his stuff, took great care of my guitar and a real nice guy too. They also have a great assortment of quality guitars. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes!!
Sam Wang
Just a fantastic guitar shop. You will be amazed at the high end inventory behind that door. They’ve always been friendly with all my purchases. Their repair shop great. Most of my business there has been upgrades or repairs and their luthiers are top notch.
Cathy MacFarlane
I've purchased electric guitars online from about three well known sites without worrying about tone. Since Gibson, Ibanez and Rickenbacker were consistent with the quality of their pick-ups, I felt relatively safe buying sight unseen or heard.
Buying a Martin HD-12-28 however without personally playing or hearing it was a major leap of faith and a first for me! In these Covid times, with shipping delays and product shortages, you can go without, if you hesitate.........I'm so glad I trusted the professionalism shown by those at Acoustic Vibes Music in Tempe AZ. I love this guitar, it has tone that will smoke your eyelids! Thank you so much!! Dave MacFarlane
rdcnaz
Great store, diverse inventory, knowledgeable staff! I have purchased 2 guitars from Acoustic Vibes. I have had them perform probably a 1/2 dozen setups, and one crown & polish. Excellent job everytime.
Jeff Kuhn
Purchased a new Koa Taylor GT K21e from Acoustic Vibes today. The price was fair and communication was excellent. The owner even called me afterwards to thank me for the order, which was a nice touch. They have a great inventory of fine acoustic guitars that are definitely worth checking out.
Woody Joyner
Been looking for a luthier close by and found Acoustic Vibes Music in Tempe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the service fast and excellent. My setups were done in a few days and my guitars look and sound great. Thanks. I'll be back!
Andrew Friedman
Great repair work on my Martins. Very knowledgeable and very responsive. And what a great selection of acoustic guitars!!
T T
Today I had the most pleasant online shopping experience ever.
Jeff and Phil are the most warm, genuinely kind, helpful and down to earth people you could communicate with.
Jeff was extremely responsive with communication right from the very minute that I inquired with additional information, was so very helpful throughout my purchase process, really making me feel appreciated and that I was important to them.
Shortly after my online purchase, I received a very kind phone call from Phil confirming my purchase and asking me if I had any questions at all that they could help me with. They are so genuinely kind and very transparent and detailed about everything.
I was so pleasantly surprised and will certainly be making future purchases here.
I really very much appreciate everything and highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
Dan Blumberg
Super service. After placing my order they called immediately to review guitar setup and shipping details. They obviously care about their customers. I highly recommend them.
Brad McBride
After going to guitar center to demo nylon guitars I received the same attitude.”oh yea there over there next to the bathrooms”. As I looked at the guitar it was unsettling to see guitars lined up just outside the opening of the restroom. So I went in their large sound room where people were playing as if they were competing with each other. Anyway, I couldn’t take it any more and found acoustic vibe on the internet. What a relief to have met Phil a luthier who should me to a room with nylon string guitars. His knowledge helped me organize my thoughts as to which guitars to play how different woods sounded etc. Unlike a salesman on commission he left me alone to play each guitar and periodically checked on me. Ultimately I ended up buying the guitar that was right for me. If your serious in buying a guitar then go see Phil and he will help you.
Jim Pond
I just purchased my 3rd Taylor guitar. First time in this store. Phil was very helpful in showing me their 12-string inventory. Left me alone to play but checked in for any questions I had. Great store. Great selection. Highly recommend this place.
John Sturino
Highly recommend, the team at the store is more than helpful. As a new player I’ve taken guitars to places and revived them back in worse condition than I brought them as. These guys gave me honest feedback on thing to fix, things to leave, and things to lookout for in the future. Great place!
There is a M-36 there that belongs in my beginner collection… See you soon lol
Richard Hutchison
I just had a baritone ukulele that needed restrung, tried the "chain" store and they didn't have the strings in stock, called Acoustic Vibes Music and they had them in stock and would do it while I waited.
The place has a cool vibe and they got to work on my ukulele immediately. During my short wait in the guitar room, I actually learned a lot about guitars as another customer was trying out a number of acioustic models.
The work was done quickly, well, and for about half of the price that the chain store had quoted me (if they had had the strings.)
Even though I was a very small dollar transaction they treated me like I was buying the most expensive guitar in the place. My highest recommendation.
Peter Kirdan
Great place for top acoustics guitars. Awesome customer service! No pressure sales. I spent several days coming and trying out different guitars before making my selection and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Will definitely be back, soon.
Yasmine Nicole Pulay (Yaz)
I had some questions via the Taylor website regarding upgrading a pick up in my guitar. I was offered the text/chat prompt & left my# & I was able to ask the specific questions I had in detail. Phil helped me via text/chat & was incredible at addressing my needs. Going into detail as to options I had or directions I could take in regards to upgrading my current Taylor guitar. He explained things in laymen's terms & treated me with kindness & professionalism. I never felt rushed, or like I was imposing or treated like I was asking too many questions etc. It was pleasant to deal with an actual human being, rather than a chat robot on other consumer websites in general. Phil you were AWESOME! Truly, thank you for all your help, suggestions & guidance in helping me with my guitar needs! YOU ROCK🤟🎸🎤
Sean Joplin
Excellent customer service and selection of guitars.
Brandon Gray
The fine folks of Acoustic Vibes Music must pride themselves in customer service, quality of product, and having an abundance of class, because they’ve hit the mark in all these categories. I would be a fool not to recommend this establishment to anyone who is in the market for a high quality guitar and a smooth buying experience to go along with it. Their inventory is vast and beautiful, and I reckon its close to impossible to not find something you will want to take home to enjoy for years to come. In times of online retailers, a place such as Acoustic Vibes is a true gem and not giving them a try I would regard as a mistake. For the record, I purchased a standard Martin d18 and I love everything about it.
Daniel Hartness
Just left this place. Heard rumors of this place from a few people. Called Martin & Co., they also recommend this place. So I drove past all the other places that had Luthiers and met Phil @ Acoustic Vibes. He will be my go to on all my stringed instrument needs. Thank you for a Job well done and a simple and painless experience taking care of my beautiful Martin that once again looks and plays like the first day I saw it. Thank you.
Scot Stirling
I have purchased two outstanding guitars from Acoustic Vibes -- a Kenny Hill classical guitar and now a small-body steel string from Santa Cruz. There are not very many places in the country with such a great selection of truly excellent guitars in the store, and Arizona is lucky to have one of the very best in Acoustic Vibes. Very straightforward, easy to do business with, and absolutely trustworthy.
Cory A. B.
I recently purchased my third Martin acoustic guitar (000-17, black smoke) from Acoustic Vibes Music...only my third Martin, but probably 1 of 30 guitars purchased over the years and countless instruments/gear purchases overall. So, maybe I’m a little indecisive when it comes to my instruments. but over the years I’ve dealt with many companies of varying sizes, from all over the country, and I definitely have plenty of experience as a customer. That being said, Acoustic Vibes exceeded all my expectations. I know this is how good store reviews typically go, but this is more than just an attempt at flattery or talking up some business who gave me a good deal.
From the beginning they were extremely helpful in helping me find a great guitar for my style/needs and for a price way beyond what I’d consider competitive. You could even call it a bargain. Unfortunately, I couldn’t send payment immediately because I needed 24 hours for the money to clear my account, but they were patient and even willing to hold the guitar for me...before it had even crossed my mind to ask them to. After the payment cleared, within an hour or so, I received a call from Phil (luthier at the shop) who was extremely friendly, helpful, and thorough while asking me all the right questions (and no unnecessary questions) to help determine how he should set up the guitar for me and select new strings. None of his questions were difficult or intimidating for me, as an intermediate player who definitely has a lot left to learn and I never felt out of my wheelhouse answering any of them. More importantly, Phil was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and patient/accommodating with me (though maybe I had a few too many questions) and not only set up my guitar but also picked out the perfect strings, made sure to include a note and the string packaging for future reference, installed a strap button at no extra cost to me, helped me choose the perfect strap to go with it (a beautiful Martin black leather strap with red leather binding and engraved floral pattern) from some they had in the shop, and was nice enough to take photos of the entire process and send them to me before the guitar was shipped out. He also made sure that the guitar shipped quickly and would arrive within the week and not spend a day inside a hot warehouse. The couple of times I had some dumb question or request and had to call back, the woman I spoke with (whose name I forgot or never learned...sorry!) was also more than happy to help get me back in touch with Phil and greeted me as though I was a friend whose call she’d been anticipating...even though there’s no telling how many people just like me she’d already had to deal with that day. So, what else is there to say? From beginning to end, even as a new customer, I was treated like a priority by everyone I had the pleasure of speaking with, the prices were more than fair, the inventory was impressive, everyone at the shop was friendly, helpful and knew what they were doing, the entire process was really simple and fast (4-5 days total counting the weekend), and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had choosing, buying, and “accessorizing” an instrument. The Martin I chose may not be top tier by the standards of most, but you’d be hard pressed to find better customer service...and Acoustic Vibes is absolutely top tier. Like I mentioned, I’ve dealt with MANY companies over the years, but this store has earned all future business from me and done so without placing all the emphasis on things like their brand, “sales”/discounts/promos, coupons, bundles, etc...but instead ALL the emphasis on providing me, the customer, with a good product for a price totally in line with the “BIG” store and a wonderful, personal experience. I wish them nothing but prosperity, success and growth in the future and I hope more dealers/stores/companies will model themselves after Acoustic Vibes. I also hope they forgive me for such a long winded review. The little things really go a long way. Thanks again to everyone at Acoustic Vibes Music, Phoenix.
Ry H
I love this shop! Friendly and knowledgeable staff that mirrors the exceptional quality instruments they have. Top tier acoustic guitars that you rarely see such a wide selection.
MrHubigs
Excellent and knowledgeable staff. I’ve had several guitars repaired an set up for over the past 4 years.
Final made a new purchase on a Collings C-10 Deluxe today. Acoustic Vibes has an amazing selection of guitars....
Daniel Jackson
Phil is very personable, he knows his stuff, eager to educate, and I’m delighted with his work on our Les Paul.
Had another service done on a 1994 Gibson Gospel acoustic by Dillon, and once again was delighted with the care, skill and value at Acoustic Vibes.
Rodney Gregory
Great selection of standard build high end as well as custom build guitars.
Unique wood combinations on hand.
Wonderful place to compare brands that may be not as familiar.
Mike Shoemaker
I’ve been a customer of Acoustic Vibes for a dozen years now and not only do they have a wide selection of acoustic guitar brands, from high end to affordable instruments, they back it up with service that’s second to none. With a staff that’s very knowledgeable, highly professional pleasantly enjoyable and friendly. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes for all your acoustical needs.
Kevin Craft singer and guitar player
My experience with Acoustic Vibes Music was a very pleasant one. The customer service was A-1 and the professionalism of the staff was A-1 as well! If my wife don’t kill me for buying another guitar, I’ll be doing more business with these guys in the future!
Debbie Ensminger (Deblues)
I went to acoustic vibes too have a guitar fixed, Kyle took my guitar in was extremely friendly and helpful. When I came back to pick up my repaired guitar I had Kyle put a couple strap buttons on 2 of my guitars. I was very happy with the service and btw they have some great instruments there too.
Gary Dawson
I had the most amazing experience at this music store. From the initial phone call to store manager, Kathryn, I was blown away. I asked her if they carried the Taylor Academy Series 12e-N and she replied they did in fact have one in stock. She was extremely helpful and courteous. Awesome lady. When I arrived, she showed me around and told me they were putting brand new strings on the guitar. Whoa! Blown away. They never bothered me one time and allowed me to walk around and play any or all guitars. Their selection is like nothing I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this store to anyone who is a real lover of gorgeous instruments. This is by far the best music store I have ever visited. Once again, thank you Kathryn for making me feel so welcome and taking good care of me!
Christopher Blair
I live in New Mexico and was visiting family in the Mesa area. My wife’s Martin guitar had a setup issue.
Kyle mad a quick diagnosis and resolved the issue with in minutes. It is so refreshing to find a place that believes in the customer. This store is a must see for any serious musician. Thank you Acoustic Vibes.
David Justice
Great experience! I bought a very high end guitar at a fair price. They set it up and shipped it the same day. Great place to do business.
I will use them again
The 'Doc'
After searching for a few months for a guitar that was right, Acoustic Vibes not only had the type of Flamenco guitar i wanted but had a few variations for me to choose from. I must have talked with 10 shops from California, Nevada and Arizona. Jeff was very reachable as i had to make my purchase remotely. The Guitar shipped to me early. Very friendly staff every time i spoke with them . New World (Hill) guitars has a great partner here in Acoustic Vibes. I would highly recommend and will be a repeat customer.
Mark Hanson
Great service and great environment with a lot of inventory. I'm sure I'll be back soon!
Wade Richmond
I just received my BEAUTIFUL new Breedlove Oregon Concert “Sweetgrass Burst” CE Ltd Edition ... and am in love with it!! I’m in New England, so purchasing online from Arizona was a little intimidating. But the good folks at Acoustic Vibes could NOT have been more helpful and professional!! I began my transaction by reaching out electronically on New Years Day, expecting not to hear back until the following Monday ... but Jeff responded within 30 min and continued to work with me to complete my purchase! By Monday afternoon, Acoustic Vibes had been in touch with me 2 more times, completed a full set up per my specs, and shipped the instrument! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Jeff and his team, and will be sure to look to them first in the future to satisfy any of my musical needs.
Jeffrey L. Almond
Awesome store!!! Great Customer Service and communication! I was always skeptical of online sales especially for guitars, but the Owner, Jeff, assisted me with my purchase every step of the way! The guitar came in just as described! Thank you Jeff, and your team. God Bless!!!
Janet Deering
For the best brands of top quality guitars and banjos, Acoustic Vibes is worth going out of your way to visit. It is the nicest, quiet and comfortable showroom I have ever seen where you can really hear to select the instrument that has your voice. Their sales staff are helpful and knowledgable. It is one of the most prestigious stores full of great musical instruments and it is very unassuming from the outside with private parking. It is worth making a special trip for the experience of selecting a lifetime banjo or guitar.
DJ Eickhoff
Newish to Phoenix and really wasn’t looking forward to finding a new shop for all of my guitar service, but so glad I found Acoustic Vibes. Everyone is chill and professional and the work is top notch. This will be the only place for my guitars from now on.
David Brun
Acoustic vibes is awesome. Phil helped me pick a great guitar in my price range that I am stoked on! Super knowledgeable, super friendly. Don’t wanna buy an acoustic from anywhere else.
Jaki Miller
We were looking for a used acoustic guitar and were referred here. Selection was amazing and our sales guy, PHIL, was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect guitar. The selection is huge and it was a very comfortable place to shop. We were offered service for later, free, in case any adjustments were needed. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for great selection and great service.
Josh Butler
They did the most amazing job fixing a cracked neck on my acoustic, installing a new pickup, and making a whole bunch of other upgrades. It sounds better than ever and the price was super affordable!! I’ve heard of their amazing reputation, and I’m definitely coming here for any guitar needs in the future.
Caleb Peacock
They did an incredible job fixing a crack in the body of my guitar, they also treat customers very well. Not to mention, the set up makes the guitar play like a DREAM. They definitely know their stuff, will for sure bring all of my acoustics here for all repairs.
rudykizuty
Purchasing my new guitar couldn’t have been easier. First, after I had researched the guitar on AVM’s web site, I received a text offering me a discount if I buy the guitar I was looking at. Then, per their suggestion, I phoned to confirm it was still in stock and they gladly confirmed. My conversation with Philip could not have been more pleasant. He asked about my playing style, talked about setup and covered the details on shipping my new guitar. This was my first experience with AVM but I’m definitely a fan!
Patrick Giacoletto
My congregation is loosing our worship pastor. The Taylor he has always wanted, is not in stock, in the state of Kansas. Acoustic Vibes had we were after. Customer service was incredible. Easy to order, and immediately called to verify, string, and ship. Highly recommend them! They will make sure you are taken care of!
Jeffery Simpkins
I was in the market for an Atkin White/Rice model acoustic guitar. Living in Indiana, I contacted the two closest Atkin guitar dealers. One never returned my calls or emails. The other said they didn't carry Atkin.
So I contacted Acoustic Vibes and was immediately contacted by Jeff Looker.
Jeff answered all my questions and kept me informed during the build process.
Acoustic Vibes has great customer service. Especially for someone who lives 1700 miles from their shop!
I Highly Recommend Acoustic Vibes!
Jody Bickle
Big selection and friendly staff. If you're looking for a good Martin or Taylor it's worth the stop.
David R
Wow! You guys really are the absolute best. I could not have asked for a better experience shopping for a dream guitar. Everyone at the store treated me with such kindness and support. Never felt pressured or unimportant once! Big thanks to Phil, Bernie and Nicki. I really appreciate everything you guys did to allow me to make the big leap, y'all made me feel reeeeaalll special. I would not have been able to make the purchase on my new Collings OM1 Julian Lage without the support and help from all of you. BTW, my wife is already trying to claim my/ our new guitar as hers ;)
If you have not been into Acoustic Vibes before you should definitely check them out. Their inventory is second to none in Arizona (and elsewhere I am sure), and their service is nothing short of outstanding. Don't be afraid if you don't feel like a guitar god when you step into their beautiful and somewhat intimidating show rooms. Acoustic Vibes knows how to treat musicians from all walks of life, and you can rest assure whoever is there to help you will take good care of whatever your interests or needs might be. Can't imagine buying a guitar anywhere else, and I will be back for a dreadnought one day :D
Bill O'Brien
Although my mandolin doesn't arrive until tomorrow, the experience thus far has been simple, straightforward, and painless. Within a few hours of my order, Phil called to thank me for my order and to ask my preferences for setup, strings etc. All in all, so far, my experience has been awesome. Highly recommend!
Tsw Weir
Very helpful. I purchased a Breedlove ukulele and they called and asked me what kind of strings I wanted and how I wanted the uke set up! Who does that anymore?!??!? Great customer service. They even set up the uke with a low G with no charge. Will definitely be purchasing more instruments from Acoustic Vibes in the future!
Henry Reardon
I can’t say enough good things about Acoustic Vibes. Phil was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I made multiple trips in the decision making process and each time I was more impressed. Highly recommended to anyone looking to purchase a new instrument.
Russ Torrance
Had a wonderful experience working with Phil picking out my dream guitar. Took me 3 visits to find my Martin D-42 Hog. Phil spent a lot of time with me discussing all the qualities and features of different brands and models. I learned a lot and enjoyed the entire process. Also, Phil tuned up my 335 and it plays better than ever!
Tom Borr
Just had some repair work completed on my Martin D45 ( dropped guitar - damage to the headstock). Phil did such a good job I cannot even see where the damage was done. Acoustic Vibes is the only place I’ll go for repairs or for purchasing a new or used acoustic guitar.
Tom Sayers
Best music store in the area to peruse some of the best acoustic instruments by selected boutique and mainstream builders. The stock is priced between $3 and $10k but the reward for spending more is finding the equivalent of a Steinway (beautiful tone, resonance and playability) in a steel or nylon string guitar. Cheaper instruments are available, but comparing them to the better ones is motivation to indulge yourself or reward yourself for hard work in getting better. Better sound makes you play at a higher level. Check this small store out!
Terry B
Best guitar store I’ve ever seen. If I lived in Phoenix I’d be there all the time. No pressure; just enjoy your time there. I finally got the wherewithall to buy something. Painless.
John Brackett
Haven’t received my guitar yet but the representative called me right after the order was friendly courteous and informative I’ll get back with you when I get the guitar in my hands and let you know how that went
Mike Wehri
Phil installed a strap button on the heel of my Gibson J45, along with a Music Nomad Acousti-Lok on the cable jack. He explained all of my options very clearly, made some recommendations, and completed the work quickly. I've always felt very welcome at Acoustic Vibes. And as a newer guitar player, I appreciate feeling like there are no dumb questions while I'm there.
Michelle Cywinski
I recently brought my late father’s guitar into be repaired. Dylan was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Acoustic Vibes Music and I will be back in the future.
Ron Wolfe
I wanted a Finger Style Guitar and Google suggested the Taylor 214 ce was the best guitar for finger style playing. I research many sites and this site popped up on my phone. Acoustic Vibe Music in Tempe, Arizona. I looked up the site because other sites were much higher on there price tag for this model. I haven't received the guitar yet but it's on the way here. Will arrive next Wednesday. I called Acoustic Music and was impressed with their cooperation. I wanted to call them to make sure it was a right handed guitar. He was about to call me and confirm my mailing address. Very business like of store.
OKAY
Mace Ebert
I recently had my Martin guitar set up by Nikki. I had been having difficulty with this particular guitar and had three previous guitar businesses set it up unsuccessfully. Nikki set it up very nicely, I got it home and played it thoroughly and I am very happy with Nikki’s work! Great job!! Thank you so much!
Don Sweat
I want to thank Jeff and Phil of Acoustic Vibes in Tempe, Arizona for their professionalism and attention to detail
when I purchased a Lowden F23c from them yesterday.
It takes trust to purchase a guitar like a Lowden, sight unseen.
In fact, the Lowden hasn’t been built yet.
Excellent customer service.
Lesley Vann
Thank you Phil and Jeff for your outstanding customer service. Thank you for listening so carefully, locating and matching the right instrument to support my goals. You are skilled and authentic professionals. Thank you for providing this unique environment for musicians, wherever they may live. It is clear that what you do is more than a job, it is a passion combined with true musical expertise and insight. The result is a magnificent shopping opportunity with creative outcomes. Thanks again!
Jesse Jacobs
The gentlemen at this store are extremely helpful. I had a great experience and my immediate needs addressed. I'll be back to spend some quality time and get to know a few of the guitars here a little better!
Don Fransko
Big thanks to Jeff, Bernie, and Kathryn for helping get some amazing Martin Guitars all the way to NJ! The staff at Acoustic Vibes were prompt, thorough, accommodating, and the most professional music shop I’ve ever dealt with. It’s tough when you can’t see the guitars up close, but the pictures, descriptions, and audio clips were helpful.
Will shop here again for sure!! Thanks again!!!!
Rick Johnson
Overall an excellent experience. Communication with Jeff was great. The guitar was exactly as described, shipped within 24 hrs, and was packed extremely well. Very pleased with Acoustic Vibes Music!!
Zachary Valdez
Acoustic Vibes is arguably the best, and most professional guitar shop (they sell mandolins and banjos too) in the state, if not the Southwest. Everybody that works here has a passion for these instruments, and their attention to detail is impressive. I recently purchased a new Martin here (bought my first guitar from AV though over 10 years ago, same experience back then), and their luthiers Phil and Nikki have gone over and beyond to ensure the guitar is properly set up. To my own dismay, I'm a picky buyer and player, yet these guys have remained patient and understanding with me the entire time. When I arrived to demo the Martin and a handful of other guitars, the owner Jeff sat down with me for over an hour and answered any questions I had. Jeff has personal relationships with Martin, Taylor, Bourgeois, Bedell, Collings, etc, and it shows. Lastly, the shop itself is gorgeous. Just being there is a pleasure. Great guitars, talented luthiers, amazing atmosphere. This is the only review I've ever left for anything in my life, had to make an exception for these guys. Needless to say this is the only place I will ever buy a guitar from.
Gregory Kerr
Fairly new Breedlove Acoustic/Electric lost the electric function. I purchased the guitar at Acoustic Vibe, so they were the first ones I called. Phil worked with Breedlove to secure and replace the faulty components and ensure that his work was cover under Breedloves’s warranty.
I’ve had other service completed at Acoustic Vibe and it’s always friendly and completely professional. They’re AZ’s most trusted source of premium acoustic instruments.
Jenn Koller
My experience with Acoustic Vibes Music was super-fantastic! The moment I utilized the texting feature on their easy-to-use website, Jeff was there to assist and address all of my questions. I received equally professional care from Phil as we finalized the shipping details of my purchase.
I’m ecstatic to have found the perfect Kamaka Ukulele for my well-deserving father. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes to anyone who wishes to enrich their lives with the gift of music.
Joshua Seller
Such a great guitar shop in the middle of Tempe. Guys are very knowledgable and professional. If you’ve got a high-end acoustic guitar and don’t want just anybody tuning it up this is the place to go.
Omayra Montes
Im from Florida and honestley didnt knew about this awesom music store. I had an order placed with Sweetwater but they didnt has the guitar in stock. I waited 3 weeks and called them. Then Sweetwater told me that they will have the guitar for mid February. What????? I have to wait that long. Nop!. Them I started to search and found Acoustic vibes music. They had my guitar in stock for me and ready to be shipped. I canceled Sweetwater and placed the order with Acoustic Vibes Music. And one hour later they called me to confirm the shipping address and the order details. The guy was amaizing in the phone and my guitar will be home soon. Now I have not to wait until February. These company is really professional. They are now my first opption to buy my guitars.
Thanks for everything Acoustic Vibes Music.
My name is Miguel. Im a professional classical guitar player with a big collection of guitars and looks like my guitar collection will still growing with Acoustic Vibes Music.

If you have a problem with your guitar, Acoustic Vibes is the place you want to go for great repairs. I recently had a few issues with my Martin guitar and Nikki in the repair department diagnosed and expertly repaired all of them. It's nice to know that such a reliable and efficient music store is there to take care of all your music needs.
Fearless P Cat
These guys are AWESOME!! Knowledgeable, friendly and reasonably priced. My 9 guitars will always come here for care from now on - TYVM Phil, Dillion n Kyle!!! ;)
Adonijah Driver
Visited Acoustic Vibes for the first time today and was blown away. The sheer selection is enough to bring me back. The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating, the store front was gorgeous, the visit was enjoyable and the guitars were delightful. 10/10 would recommend
Ryan Chipeniuk
What a great guitar store. Well set up, easy to find what you wanna try, and great helpful staff who perfectly understand how to let you know help is available without pressuring you to need said help
Tom Semancik
Great selection, friendly, patient and knowledgeable service. I just purchased the third instrument I've bought from Acoustic Vibes Music and really appreciated the help in selecting a guitar that would work for me. If you like acoustic stringed instruments you have to visit this shop. You will be amazed.
Martin de Masi
Great store, very helpful staff and a good selection of instruments. No pressure or BS. Let me know right away when they received the guitar I was looking for and took care of business.

I know they specialize in repairs but they also setup your instrument so that it sounds exactly like you want. I have a 2017 Sullivan banjo and even though it sounded great, it wasn't exactly the sound I was looking for so I brought it in and Nikki tightened it up and added a new bridge. It now has the sharper sound I was going for. There is no other place in the valley that I would trust. Also, they have rooms full of different instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins, etc.
Connor Ellsworth
Fabulous experience. All team members were helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. I am extremely happy with my guitar, and will definitely be recommending them to any serious guitarists.
Peter Hendershot
I’ve bought one guitar here; a custom Collings OM2 and most recently had an LR Baggs Anthem installed in my Martin 000-28. I have nothing but high praise for Jeff and Phil! Thanks guys!
Bill Stephens
If I could give Acoustic Vibes a 10, I would. Located in Tempe, in an older home converted to a business, Acoustic Vibes is really guitar nirvana. Exquisite works of art, each guitar offers precise sound and quality from several different makers. To top off the broad selection of guitars, is a friendly, extremely knowledgeable staff who will spend the time necessary to help you and meet yours needs. I worked with Phil and he helped me find the right guitar for a price I could afford. I'm very pleased and ready to get playing. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes to you! Enjoy the music!!
J. VR
This place is amazing! Great selection and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and always go above and beyond for me and my guitars the luthiers are top notch. They have a customer for life.

Whitney Calhoun
It was so refreshing to have an expert actually be happy to take the time to educate me and help me. I felt comfortable and relieved to make a decision on the right guitar for me. Thanks again Phil!
Robby Vandermark
I was told about Acoustic vibes by someone on the internet. I was pleased with every aspect of their service. The final repair was awesome and the price very fair. I highly recommend Acoustic Vibes for all your guitar needs
Ian Brown
Most impressive acoustic instrument store I've ever been to. Phil was really knowledgeable and helpful I bought my gf and I ukuleles at a good price they included free cases. Great place.
James Miller
I had called all over in town. I was in AZ for just another day or two and everyone was backed up for a week or two.
I knew I couldn’t get my travel guitar in anywhere and completed by departure time. I decided to go in for a new top nut and supplies to fix and set up the guitar myself.
The tech told me about a trick of adjusting the nut height with baking soda and super glue for a easy fix. Then he just grabbed it and adjusted the truss rod and tuned up the top nut.
Then, he only charged me $10. Then tried to buy strings and he said they were all good and I didn’t need them.
This place has earned me as a loyal customer. He explained how he was on a trip and a friend gave him a guitar falling apart. He went to a guitar shop and asked to use the tools since he didn’t want to invest into a guitar that wasn’t worth much. He said how the guitar shop had pitty on him and tuned it all up for $15 bucks and not $50. He decided to do the same for me and pay it forward.
Now I need to pay it forward to someone else when the opportunity comes.
This place rocks!! Thanks!! Happy traveler guitar here!
David Olson
Excellent shipping and best packaging I have seen. Quick to ship also.
Item as expected. Nice extras provided and they called prior to shipping to confirm address.
Quite cheerful on the phone call.
Yes I would shop there again.
Patty Blumberg
Great guitar shop. Great shopping experience. Phil and Kyle know how to direct you in your search. You can play a wide selection of quality instrum
wants. The best experience. Totally recommend!
Tom Rowe
We have had two banjos repaired by Acoustic Vibes and they did an excellent job each time. Highly recommended.
James Wedgeworth
Good enough selection to find the right guitar or other string instrument that's right for you, in a relaxed and comfortable setting. Staff help you select a variety to get comparisons going, and then back off to let you get to know the instrument and focus on your performance with it. Would recommend this place to any musician looking for high quality and even some unique options.
Tom Rothermel
I could not find a local luthier that would do some difficult work on my rare Santa Cruz. Kyle accepted the challenge and did an outstanding job at a very reasonable price. The best luthier I've ever worked with.
Greg Carter
The Vibe guy got a kick out of this statement, but it's true: the first time I visited the store about a month ago it was like a spiritual experience to be in the presence of so much greatness. The time and amount of 'self' invested in creating these wonderful instruments is impossible to fully appreciate, but the totality of those efforts can be felt each and every time you pick up and play one of these masterpieces.
I knew I'd return one day to buy a guitar, and I did return yesterday, and today I will walk in Acoustic Vibe and spend a lot more $$$ than I ever imagined I would spend, but what a treat. GREAT staff, very fair, just 'an experience' you'll never forget if you love acoustic instruments.
Greg Cravener
Best collection of acoustic guitars you'll ever find, from economical to high end. Highly recommended for sales and support!
Steve Osborn
Acoustic Vibes Music has been my 'go to' guitar shop for a number of years now. They are consistently the nicest, most thoughtful, knowledgeable, and helpful folks I know. Great selection of instruments, some of which reside with me. Highly recommended.
Ivan Yakin
I loved the store, a selection of acoustic instruments I did not think existed in AZ. Salespeople were incredibly helpful and kind, and really let me roam the shop to find the best instrument for me. I cannot recommend highly enough!
Kelly Uke
They repaired my ukulele, very professional, very reasonable price, I love this place, and the people who work there, thanks again Dylan.
Tim Hermes
...so...a friend brought back a ukelele as a gift when they returned from Hawaii. After a month I was hooked. On a whim I bought a new one from Jeff and the service and price were amazing. Highly recommended. I’d type more but my fingers hurt from playing so much!
Jeff Davis
Called to see how I wanted my new ukulele set up and restrung. Also double checked shipping. They were very nice on the phone. No complaints, only compliments!
Jeff Harmon
AWESOME!
This is THE best acoustic shop in the valley. Full stop. Their service (both pre/post sale and setup) are exceptional!
They have a full selection of acoustic stringed instruments (ukes, banjos, mandolins, guitars and more) and the knowledge you expect from a first class operation.
If you buy a guitar (or bring one in) ask for “The Nikki”(tm) and she’ll TRANSFORM your guitar into a masterpiece worthy of praise from the likes of Pete Huttlinger and Michael Gurian!
Coy Cappelen
Acoustic Vibes Music is amazing!! I was shopping online from across the country and still gave me amazing customer service with very speedy responses. 10/10 would recommend
Dennis Peterson
Great selection of guitars. Quick too!
Brian McNely
Great attitude, very helpful. My initial experience with Acoustic Vibes Music did not result in a purchase( just not the " right" instrument, by my choice).But, with a great selection, knowledgable staff, and courteous business approach it's just a matter of time before I'm back to find " the one"! Special Notice to Nikki for all she did to TCB! Thanks
Dominick Provenzano
Extremely accommodating. Excellent quality of merchandise. If you live in Arizona check this place out. Or order something from their shop online. I’ve been playing professionally for the last 10 years... I’ve bought a ton of acoustics and this was by far the best purchasing experience I’ve had.
Karen Doncovio
Kyle fixed the action on my classical guitar, making it much more easier for me to play. Kyle was curtious and explained everything in guitar terms so I could understand. Acoustic Vibes are fortunate to have someone like Kyle working for them!😀 …
Jon Carpenter
I purchased a Taylor 414ce-r and a gs mini in Mahogany from Acoustic Vibes and had them shipped to Washington State. When they arrived via FedEx, the neck was broken on the 414. I was devastated! I was getting the run around from FedEx, so I called and talked to Phil. I sent pics and Jeff, Mickey and Phil went out of their way to make everything right. Today my unbroken 414 arrived, perfectly set up and it is everything I could have hoped for. Thank you Jeff, Mickey and Phil for going above and beyond to make my experience the best it could be. Thank you again, you are all rockstars!
Ava Rose
This store has the most amazing selection I have ever seen in one place. You have to come and play the amazing acoustic selection here. You won’t be sorry. And you will likely leave with a amazing instrument of amazing quality. Two thumbs up. 5 stars.

katy katy
I traveled over two hours to see Phil Tuman..He worked with me on the set up of my guitar with a Tonewood amp, and explained every aspect of how to use it.. in such a way that was totally enlightening .!.Amazing luthier -- over the top--and I will tell anyone looking for a new guitar , they need to see this guy! I could not be any happier-- Acoustic Vibes is THE place to go! Thank you Phil! You have my 5 stars endorsement!
Carolyn D.
Bob Olson
Jeff and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and I got an excellent deal on a new Martin guitar! I definitely recommend them!
Chad Cure
Wish I had a local shop to me(Denver) that was as good as this place.
Great customer service. They even sent a clip of them playing the guitar so I could hear how it sounded before buying.
Josh Rivera
So I have only dealt with this Acoustic Vibes by phone and computer but they were hands-down amazingly helpful, considerate and knowledgeable. I would recommend this business to those desiring to either learn an instrument or to up their game at their own craft. God bless!
Marc Matteo
Very nice atmosphere everyone went out of their way to make it a great experience, Great selection of guitars and they were in perfect condition.
Definitely highly recommend buying from there.

I have purchased instruments from them and have had their luthiers work on other instruments of mine. They are always professional and great to work with. Always a good experience!
Stephen Willis
Acoustic Vibes Music is more than a retail guitar store. It is where a passion for music meet the finest quality instruments in the world. Jeff; the owner, like his clientele has had a life long love affair with music. This shop is his dream.
Shopping at Acoustic Vibes Music isn't just an experience, it is a step into another world. These aren't just guitars, they are pieces of art. Each guitar is a masterpiece with a rich story that has yet unfold. Each instrument is beautiful and unique in its own way. The staff is dedicated to helping you find your perfect match. They understand that getting the right sound and ease of play that is right for you is important.
I decided after years of loving use and a good deal of wear on my old Gibson, that it was time for a new acoustic guitar. I had just become turned on to Breedlove and wanted to try out several higher end Breedloves but I was having a hard time finding a store that had the quality that I was looking for. I found out about Acoustic Vibes Music from Breedlove's website and I am very glad I did.
I made it out to the store and knew immediately that I was in heaven. The first guitar I played was a gorgeous custom Breedlove that Jeff had returned with from Oregon where he picked out the wood and had custom made at the Breedlove factory. I tried out all kinds of different guitars and amidst the selection of other custom guitars ended up falling in love with a brand that I had never heard of, Bourgeois.
No, this is certainly not an inexpensive store. But they do have a large selection and a wide range of prices. I also really love their website which features every single instrument they have in stock including descriptions with photos of the actual guitar. Their website just enhances the already stellar experience and service you receive from Acoustic Vibes Music.
Acoustic Vibes Music is special. You will be hard pressed to find anything that comes close to their quality and customer service.
Ritchie Adkins
