Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor has built a reputation as Arvada’s go-to destination for serious string instrument players who value quality craftsmanship. Located in historic Olde Town Arvada just outside Denver, this shop combines an impressive inventory of high-end acoustic and electric guitars with a full-service instrument repair shop that handles everything from basic guitar setups to complex vintage guitar work.

The on-site luthiers work with premier brands like Martin, Gibson, Collings, National, and Santa Cruz, bringing deep expertise to both modern instruments and classic pieces. Their repair shop tackles fretwork, electronics, structural repairs, and restorations, with particular skill in servicing the vintage instruments that fill the store’s “Vault.” The shop’s buy-sell-consign model means their guitar techs regularly work on a diverse range of instruments, from mandolins and banjos to resonators and basses.

Beyond repairs, Olde Town Pickin’ Parlor offers music lessons and maintains a rotating inventory of new, used, and vintage gear. Their hands-on approach and knowledgeable staff have made them a favorite among Colorado musicians seeking both quality instrument repair and a carefully curated selection of playable instruments.
