Great local music resource

by jonlcollins at Citysearch

I'm a long time musician (semi-pro). I'm all ways on the lookout for good deals and also in need of advice; with the huge array of equipment thats out there. I've gone into Avenue N on several occasions for advice and never been steered wrong. Recently I was looking for a second electric Bass and stopped in. They had a G&L tribute series bass on the wall for what seemed like a reasonable price. after doing some research I returned, played the guitar and checked it out thoroughly, And after talking to the owner, who gave me more valuable info and cut me an even better price, I bought it.

Nice, knowledgeable staff and good quality merch at a reasonable price.

Great shop, great staff, and the best repair work in the city

by telebuckers at Citysearch

Ave N is a great little shop. They have a nice selection of vintage guitars and a very knowledgeable staff. They are also the only shop I know of in the city that carries Bare Knuckle pickups which is a boutique pickup maker from england that sound incredible. As for repairs- the repairman- Dave Johnson- does some of the highest quality work I've seen for the best prices around. I've also had a guitar built by him- and another one on the way because the first one just crushed my vintage f*nders. All in all, Avenue N is a great shop you should definitely check out.

Great Guitar Shop on North Ave.

This is an excellent shop with a wonderful staff. Everyone is knowledgeable and courteous. I had my 1980 Guild D-50 repaired by Dave Johnson and he did a wonderful job. I have brought him several electric guitars and basses with electronic problems and he solved every one. The showroom is amazing! Some great vintage guitars and they just got in a new line of handmade acoustic guitars from Europe called Stonebridge. Check them out, I did and they are great.

• Pros: They are the best people
• Cons: parking can be difficult on the weekends
