Vic's Guitar Cave

It's been a few years since I left my original Review so I figured I would stop by and see the new place. Welp. I arrived about 45min before the posted closing time here on Google and it was closed. --original Review. I tried to visit several times during posted open times but no one was there and the doors were locked. No notes saying they were away.

When I was finally able to make it over and the open sign was on I went in to check the store out an older gentleman came out and was very rude asking what I wanted. I stated I was there browsing and he said will I have a student and am closed please come back later.

Great place for your guitar needs. Vic is knowledgeable and awesome to deal with. Great prices too!

Vic is a great guy. Wonderful little shop with everything from guitars to amps and all the accessories. Highly recommend.

I like to stop by this shop whenever I am in Forest Grove. I've come across some great finds there including NOS Fender electrics and vintage guitars on consignment. Vic is always super friendly, his prices are fair and he will work with you to make a great deal!

My 14 year old daughter came in to buy a guitar. She had a set amount of money to spend. Both Vic and another employee helped her out and she picked a guitar she is happy with. They were kind and encouraging to her, and gave her a good deal

Went in to have my daughter's flute repaired and they basically told me it was a piece of junk and wanted to know where I got it, told me I got ripped off. It was my grandmother's flute and has been our family for generations. another nearby shop took care of us instead and didn't insult us! This place is shady, stay away!

Very talented musician and great teacher. Vic has been teaching my 9 year old for about 4 months and she loves it. Good prices and a very relaxing atmosphere.

One of the hidden gems of F.G. Vic is a really nice guy, and for me is the perfect instructor. I highly recommend.

We are patrons of this kind and gentle musician with both purchasing instruments and taking advantage of his music lessons. Because he is usually alone in the shop, he sometimes will lock the front door while teaching a lesson (to avoid people coming in and not being supervised while he's in back), so if the door is locked and the Open sign is on, try and come by 10 to 20 minutes later!

It will be worth it, Vic has a vast knowledge of music and is a joy to chat with. In a big town like Portland, it might be considered bad business to lock your store door during posted business hours because you are in the back but remember, this is a local family-owned small business who's doing it's best to survive in the growing town of Forest Grove. I'd highly recommend this fun little shop.

I have no natural musical talent and Vic has cheerfully been teaching me to play banjo. He always has a new approach for me to try and takes my lessons seriously. He has a great selection of instruments, music and supplies. I really appreciate The Cave

Let me just say i dont write many reviews but a guy at my work told me to check out this place. I have to say the owner Vic was very knowlegable as well as just a nice guy. I had a guitar ive owned for about 20 years that i stored mostly its entire life in its case. I should have kept it at a proper humidity as i never had been told. He spent at least a 1/2 hour trying to adjust the truss rod which i had messed with trying to get a buzz out but i think my guitar will need more repair. I bummed out about that but just his time trying to help me without even a charge was priceless. I will be doing my future buisness with him.

Unhappy because i took my guitar in here thinking they knew a thing or two. I was completely mistaken. The arrogance of this guy is something, they do shotty work, they charge too much and my guitar sounds worse than it did before. I'd take it back but I'm afraid they might do permanent damage.

Vic is very friendly and knowledgable. We have purchased a Mandolin and a ukulele and love them both!
