"If you could ask Clapton, Cash, Grohl or Gill where they would shop in Nashville, they would all likely say Gruhn Guitars. The famous guitar store has long been a haven for the world’s greatest guitar players with relics that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Need a mint 1940 Martin D-45? They’ve got it for a mere $195K. But Gruhn Guitars isn’t just for the celebrity player. Their staff is a friendly collection of lifelong guitar enthusiasts who love to share instruments and stories with customers of all kinds." - GS&F

"Guitar Greats This famed guitar shop opened in 1970 and recently relocated from downtown to this space on 8th Ave. It’s where you’ll find an enormous range of equipment from starter guitars to a 1940 Stromberg Master 400 owned by Freddie Green in the Count Basie Orchestra and still strung with Freddie strings. Even if you don't play, this place is worth a visit."

"This is the place to get a guitar, banjo, mandolin, or any “fretted” instrument, if you’re picky about terminology like the experts at Gruhn. George Gruhn started the store in 1970, and it has come to be one of the—if not the—premier places in the US to buy instruments. The client list is a who’s who of musicians—Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Neil Young, and many, many more. The store and repair shop specialize in vintage models, and they keep a file on the history of each and every instrument in their inventory. Basically, if music is your thing, you’ve got to pay them a visit. Their website is a frett aficionado’s haven with George Gruhn’s newsletters on fretted instruments and features on particularly special models. If there’s a vintage model you’re particularly interested in, let them know and they’ll keep an eye out for you."
