The Guitar Department has been serving Akron’s music community as a trusted destination for buying, selling, and trading guitars and gear. The shop maintains strong relationships with quality manufacturers including Paul Reed Smith, Guild, Reverend, and their Akron neighbors at Earthquaker Devices and SIT Strings.

Behind the sales floor, the experienced team offers professional guitar setup services and instrument repair work. Their hands-on expertise comes from years of working with guitars daily‚not just selling them, but understanding how they function and what players need from their instruments. This practical knowledge translates into quality fretwork, electronics troubleshooting, and general maintenance that keeps guitars playing their best.

The store’s guitar tech services complement their retail operation, providing a one-stop shop for players who need everything from a basic setup to more involved luthier work. Their commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond the initial sale, with ongoing support for repairs and adjustments. The Guitar Department also offers private lessons for players looking to improve their skills on properly maintained instruments.
