Such a cool little out-of-the-way guitar shop. Dozens of instruments and even an amp room downstairs for plugged. The shopkeepers were very helpful and obviously passionate about their trade. Got to play a couple very cool axes and browse many more. Great little place. I'll be back!

Tommy's Guitars is a super cool place to do business with. They are both patient and honest which is a wonderful commodity in the music industry. I would highly recommend these guys. If you're in their area check them out for your musical needs!!

Best "Maw and Paw" guitar shop in Chicago, hands down. Great with repairs. Super knowledgeable staff. Plenty of guitars and Amps in stock to check out or buy.
