Sent my guitar (Fender Jazzmaster) for connection electric issue. After roughly a week and a half guitar was done just for it to have the same issue. What a disappointment

Brought a Strat in for a setup. They were great to deal with and had a quick turn around. Will definitely be back.

I have always wanted to learn to play guitar. I decided to finally give it a try and have not regretted one minute. I always like to support my local businesses so I decided to give Route 1 Guitars a try. the moment I walked in there, the owners especially Gail and the staff have been very help full and supportive. I also used them for tuning up and servicing my guitars with no issues and they adjust them they was I like them.

Would highly recommend them for your next guitar, amp, and service. I'm also told if they don't have a guitar in stock they can get it. There is a reason why this local business has been around for a while. Support local. Buy local.

The only place I take my basses for adjustments and repairs! Everything from their craft to their customer service is always on point, and they are always extremely accommodating! Their staff is super educated and mostly all musicians in their own right, which definitely helps with the overall process! If you need a setup or repairs there is no other place to go, Route 1 is where it is at!!

Lots of guitars to choose from including decent student ones and start up packages. Private lessons are offered there as well. The staff was very patient and friendly with my son who wanted to try out how a guitar feels before deciding on lessons/ purchase.

Brought a guitar here for a setup. it was very inexpensive and fast! (I picked it up within a few hours!) He pointed out an issue on my bridge which didnt impact its playability, but also didnt offer to fix it for additional cost. I get the impression that this shop likes to just get stuff in and out without taking on any more difficult jobs. This shop is good for a quick setup, or to check out/buy gear (great selection of guitars and amps for a small shop), but if you need work done to your guitar, I'd spend the extra few bucks and take it to a real tech.

Honestly, I haven't been to this store in about 8 years. I kind of avoided it because they didn't have a few things I was looking for that one time, 8 years ago. Yesterday, I needed some guitar strings and I really didn't feel like driving too far in the disgusting weather that was going on, remembered Route 1, and went there. If I could go back in time and slap my past self in the face for not going back sooner, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

From the moment I walked in, I felt extremely welcome. One of the owners and I talked like we had known each other for years when we had only just met. You really don't find that in many stores, especially around here. That will not be my last visit.

Thru the past decade. maybe longer. I have found Route 1 Guitars to be an incredible store for any needs I have musically. The do all my repairs and setups. always perfect. They also help me to buy and sell in my range of interests in instruments, effects and amplifiers. They never fail and always go the extra mile to be of service. Not to mention that they have the most versatile teachers that can get you playing whatever you desire and also knowing what you are doing musically.

Dare I say for the best prices around? The staff is always bending over backwards doing their very best to please the customer. They have not only become amazing friends but like a home away from home. Route 1 Guitars ROCKS! You can't go wrong here.

This store is home to some very great talent. This is what a music store is about. The guys actually play and they stock the stuff they know works well instead of a bunch of hyped up stuff. The same guy that sells you the guitar can do a great setup and answer your questions without calling a manager or another dept.

The shop has it all! Instruments, lessons, repairs, band rentals, lesson books for local schools, and so much more.
