Shomaker Guitars

I have been to this amazing place a total of four times, and in my many years of going to the big guitars shops like Music & Arts and Guitar Center, I have never felt more welcomed and respected! This place has been an absolute dream! I have given my two electrics to the shop owner, and he fixed up my guitars so quickly AND told me what was needed to be fixed.

He explained what caused the problems I had and recommended so many things. It's nice to have my guitars fixed, but it's even BETTER to learn about how to make your guitar better for the future. I will continue to come to this store for all my guitar needs. I look forward to buying a guitar there as well! His knowledge is what will continue to bring me to his store!

Love this place! BEEN A LOYAL Shomaker's Customer for MANY! years. Kim is a great guy through and through. Support Your Local Musicians and Music Stores!

Great spot! The gentlemen there are sweet guys. Helpful and communicative. It's a home-y, good experience. One that is just memorable enough to make you wanna always go back there for that specific need.

I randomly stopped in when driving by. it's a tight space, probably 20 guitars total, 10+ amps. Place seemed cluttered. It was hard to figure out how they differed from ye ol pawn shop. Until I started chatting with the owner. You can tell that dude loves his guitars. I don't quite understand how this shop fits into the guitar niche. but that's okay. I'm glad I stopped in.

Nice smallish shop that has been in Burlington for years and has a good reputation. I like the shop and the owner. If I'm looking for a new or used guitar I would definitely stop by there.

Just had my first interaction with Shomaker Guitars and it DEFINITLEY won't be my last. Dropped off an early 80s acoustic guitar with a broken saddle and a mid-2000s MusicMan Bass that was having electronics problems. Kim had my Bass back up and running like new and replaced the saddle on the Acoustic in less than two days. On top of that, he did a full set-up on the acoustic, polished the frets, and adjusted the neck all for less than I expected to pay for the Bass Electronics repair by itself.

That guitar feels, looks, and plays better than it has since I got it in 2002. The Bass sounds phenomenal now. I used to hate the middle position on the pickup because it would either buzz like crazy or drop out entirely. Now, it's my favorite setting! I don't know if you'll see this, Kim, but you just earned a repair customer for life!

A local treasure. Knowledgeable, competent and with reasonable rates and prices. Kim has been a fixture in this area and his work is beyond amazing. Kim and "Ugg" (Steve) are great guys and visiting the store is like hanging out with your buddies.

Shomaker is awesome. This guitar store has been a landmark in Burlington for quite some time and there is a reason why. Kim shomaker is not only a great guitarist and guitar tech., he is also a great guy. He does great work.

Excellent service. Went in for a broken guitar string. Replaced all the strings and finished it for a very reasonable price. Also helped advise of anything else I would need as an extremely new player. Would recommend to everyone

Absolute Professional who is a Veteran of the business. You can trust to have any of your guitar adjustments, sales or consignment done here. Crazy friendly and a great environment as soon as you walk through the door. Purchased one of my first guitars here over 20 years ago. Had some adjustments made and she plays like butter. The same owner is still there with a smile and a how do ya do attitude. Highly recommend Shomaker.

I've been coming here for years. These guys are honest and helpful, and they've setup several guitars for me and they've all turned out great.

If you are in Burlington or surrounding area then this is your guitar shop. They are best for setups and repairs. That is where they shine. No matter what kind of guitar you have or what type of music you play they can help get you where you need to be. They do have some guitars and amps for sale too, along with common every day needs. If you need advice on guitars or guitar sound this is by far the best place around.

These guys know guitars. I have had a lot of guitars repaired here along with a lot of my friends and family members. They always deliver excellent service and great customer service too.

Came here in a pinch needing some supplies and was pleasantly surprised. Prices were very fair and service was with a smile. Nice little shop that I will definitely return to when in Burlington. Buy local, avoid the big guys!
