Welcome! -- Make music, make friends, and make yourself at home.
Though small, we are a full line stringed instrument store,
carrying some of the most sought after instruments in the industry
-
guitars by EVG, Gallagher, Benedetto, Blueridge,
Crafter, Dean and Augustino LoPrinzi,
banjos by Gold Star and
Rover, and mandolins by Michael Kelly, Kentucky and Rover.
The
electric side of the store is stocked with Dean, Ibanez and Peavey
guitars and basses and amps by
Orange, Peavey and Hartke. We also
actively seek out and stock the very best used instruments
available.
We have an in-shop repair/service department that can handle
most situations.
We also have a great Luthier that we turn to for
those serious and difficult repairs like neck resets and re-fret
jobs.
We offer lessons for all levels and styles on guitar, banjo, mandolin, and bass.

Repair Department
The Buffalo Creek Guitar repair department can handle anything from simple string changes to neck re-sets. The in-house crew handles most of the work (string changes, set-ups, fret leveling, crowning and polishing, and crack repairs), while the bigger jobs (neck re-sets, fret replacements, and finish work )go to Luthier, David Houchens, of Bryce Instruments.
