Ever walk into a new place and feel like everyone knows you? This is that place! They make you feel like you are at home. Great selection of high end guitars. Not to mention a few quality affordable ones. Very cool, expert level, staff that will chat you up and ensure every question is answered.When looking for a new axe, this is the place to buy.

Took a new Martin 000-18 to have the action lowered and I cant be more pleased with the results. Plays sweet and intonation throughout is precise.If you are wondering where to take your instruments for TLC, this is it. Highly recommended.

Great music store run by even better people. I stopped by while considering trading one of my guitars for one of theirs. Lindsey & Brandon were very helpful and super gracious, encouraging me play several very nice guitars. The customer service here is top notch. Ill be back.

This is the shop to go to for quality instruments and quality care. I bought a collings om2h sunburst from them and they always take care of my baby whenever I need a setup. You know that if you leave your instrument w them, you can have peace of mind.Right now due to covid, they’re about 2 weeks out in setups and repairs, so keep that in mind. Also, their showroom is only open by appointment, so give them a call and they can help you out.All the guys are passionate and knowledgeable about everything!

I went without specific expectations and was very impressed. My son and I went to buy his first guitar and the staff was very patient and welcoming. I felt just as important with my entry-level purchase as a high-end customer. Keep doing what youre doing!

What an awesome store. These guys were so friendly and knowledgeable, far from being box readers. They called me by name the whole time which was very much appreciated. They had tons to choose for for beginners all the way up to high-end guitar collectors. Cant wait to come back and see whats available next time!

Awesome job on setup and pickup installation. These guys know their stuff.

I think the 5***** is not enough to rate the Maple Street Guitars !We purchased a 30Year old Japanese made YAMAHA guitar from Chris .He did whatever we asked him to do as far as checking the guitar for any Tear&Wear, Flaws, etc .When it was delivered, the first thing we were impressed with, was the way it was packed ! So solid and clean .This guitar and its case were unbelievably like new .... just like a brand new purchase !Their pricing is unbeatable, but most importantly, theyre very nice people .Super satisfied with this place .

Hey guys right now I have a good example of what is that mean Professional Guitar shop.Im so happy to find this place.thank you Maple Street Guitars.

Super rad shop, but bring your big boy wallet. Youre paying for quality.

Very convenient well represented guitar store. The gentlemen clerks are professional in service and knowledge.

Great family owned and operated guitar shop. If youre a classical player, this is THE SHOP for you.

Beautiful work done on my guitar. I came in to get the jack fixed but they went above and beyond offering a complete repair and refurbishing for a very reasonable price. You can tell youre dealing with experienced and emotionally invested fellow musicians. Great place.

Far and above the finest guitar store in all of Atlanta. Their knowledge goes through the roof. Customer service is second to none

Nice selection but their customer service could use some work

Buying an acoustic at Maple Street Guitars is a first class experience. I spent quite some time auditioning many guitars looking for one that was equal to or better than my favorite, a Lowden. A number of people helped me throughout the day without any pressure at all. Questions were answered to my satisfaction and because of their broad inventory I found a terrific Goodall. George set it up perfectly to my uncommon specifications. They went beyond what any other store ever has. Everyone was extremely helpful. Every aspect was thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to doing business with them again.

Excellent service and attention to customer. Their staff is very knowledgeable of guitars.

Great, great guitar shop! Loved the selection and the sense of calm, at-homeness throughout the store. Chris, in particular, was very knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic. Didnt feel rushed or pressured to buy that day by anyone there. Looking forward to going back when Im in the area again and buying my next guitar!

Drove over 120 miles to purchase a guitar for our son only to be turned away at the door. Doing business by “appointment only”. Seems like they would have that boldly displayed on the website! Absolutely terrible service!

I wish I could give 10 stars! This is the type of old school music store that is actually run by people who love music...in this case family of them! They welcome you and treat you with the same respect whether buying a Martin pick or a Martin guitar. They love to talk music, and I do too, so I had to drag myself out of there before I made an investment in a new guitar....but i will be back soon to do just that, and they will be my go to store whenever Im in the area

We are blessed to have this family-owned guitar store in Atlanta. Friendly and knowledgeable staff dedicated to helping folks make music. Large selection of acoustic and electric guitars, ranging from those appropriate for beginners to the finest instruments made. Maple Street does a (first-class) set up on every guitar they sell, no matter the price, and they guarantee the set up for a full year. The repair shop is outstanding - Im always happy with their work. Let me give you an example of how caring and helpful the folks here can be: I was having issues with pain and numbness in my left hand and wrist and walked in to just browse and hang out one day, and the owner, George, and his son, Lindsay, noticed the brace on my wrist (I had one that allowed me to still play with it on, but with pain). George took me to one of their practice rooms and spent 45 minutes walking me through hand positioning and the ergonomics of playing, and suggested several things I could do to lessen the problems I was experiencing. It turned out I needed surgery, but following through on Georges recommendations I was able to continue playing until then (fully recovered now) . Thats how these folks are - supremely talented musicians who want to help other musicians make music. George, Claire, Lindsay and the staff - the best!

Got my Collings acoustic here - they are the best

Hands down the best experience I’ve had at a guitar store. Went in wanting to do some research on different instruments and they were very accommodating as well as knowledgeable. Friendly staff who take their time with you without being pushy or hovering. Didn’t expect to buy an instrument but fell in love with a guitar. I live in Florida and was sketchy about taking it on a plane so they arranged shipping for me at a great price and easily done. The best store I’ve ever been to. P.S. I rarely take the time to write reviews....

Great little guitar store with a pretty good selection of guitars. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and their setup on guitars is quick, painless and very well done. Ive purchased a ukulele from them, at a great price and every guitar Ive checked out here has been lovely and well made.

Well worth the drive! (45 minutes from my place). The entire staff worked together as a cohesive group to help me with my choice after not having played for 15 years. The purchased guitar was set up perfectly and the body was beautifully polished. The after sale support is second to none.

Bought my first concert classical guitar here, best shop for classical guitarist in the southeast

I have done business with the folks at Maple Street Guitars for several years. It is a delightful family owned business. They have a great selection of string instruments ranging from beginner level to beautiful hand crafted instruments. Thier staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They also offer professional instrument repair and lessons. Maple Street Guitars is absolutely my favorite guitar store.

Maple Street Guitars is an amazing store with a wide selection and a highly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Absolute pleasure doing business with! Helped me find the perfect guitar to meet my very specific needs. Special shout out to Lindsay for helping me find the perfect fit and taking care of the logistics.

Wow amazing service and great selection!

Great customer service. Sales team is very knowledgeable and helpful. They brought a few options for me to try and then based off of whether or not I liked the guitars, they would bring out a different one. I usually tend to get a little stressed or overwhelmed buying new instruments, but I felt at ease and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Great selections on guitars. I definitely recommend.

Loved the knowledge and customer care. Will be back soon.

I was very excited to check this store out based on the reviews online. I drove over an hour to browse the store to see what they had in stock. Unfortunately, I did not find the staff to be friendly. While walking around, I had not be spoken to. I passed three workers who were talking behind the front desk who just looked at me while browsing. When I went into their electric guitar room, one staff member quickly followed but not to help. The man just looked at things on the wall and shelves next to me without saying a word. This threw me off, he was clearly just watching me. I went back to the other room where he very soon followed. Why was this man following me around so closely? I then paused and looked at him as he was pretending to browse on this side of the store now. He was peeping up to look at me over here as well. There were many other customers in the store. Yet I seemed to have been singled out. Not to be helped but to be monitored for suspicious activity. I’ve worked in retail before and it was obvious. This place made me incredibly uncomfortable and upset. I will not be returning and I feel they would be pleased for whatever reason.

I did my research on the ukulele I wanted to buy and I found that Maple Street has the one that I wanted. Also I contacted the store via email to ask whether the instrument that I wanted was still available. Chris replied promptly. I also was lucky that my travel plan allowed me to visit Atlanta and the store. After I finished my business, I went to the store. Dont let the front fool you -- open the door to see it yourself.There are hundreds of guitars nicely displayed and some other string instruments hanging from the ceiling. When I walked in, the salesperson was helping another customer so I just walked around the store to see what they had to offer. After a few mins, I was greeted by Lindsay and I told him what I was looking for. He grabbed me the ukulele I had my eye on. He then let me play with the instrument and walked away. He strummed a few chords and looked at the instrument without any interruption, which I really appreciated. Then he came back and asked me to try other sizes to compare the sound and the feel for the instruments.As Lindsay and I were talking about the instruments, he also found out that I came to visit ALT so he offered to provide some other recommendations for things to do and see around town. Also he told me that the store can ship the instruments by mail if I chose to not take the instrument with me.When I checked out the instrument, Chris came out to help and I had the opportunity to meet Chris, who responded to my email, in person. We shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries. He also helped check the instrument before it left the store. The salesperson, whom I forgot the name (sorry), helped me with the receipt and packaging.Overall, I was happy to deal business with the Maple Street Guitars.

Folks here care about your journey with music like it was their own— The store manager, Lindsey, absolutely made my experience. I’d recommend Maple Street to anyone, whether you’re a beginner, or a seasoned musician— Check em’ out!

Lindsay was great. Very helpful and took his time to show me all the options

Maple Street is hands down the best music store overall for the quality of their instruments, products, and services. They inspect all of their guitars to be sure they meet the highest standards. As well, Lindsay delivers outstanding customer service, the best Ive ever seen. He even let me order a guitar to try out when I wasnt sure if I wanted to purchase it. As well, he answered every and all questions I had regarding the details of each guitar I inquired about, even after purchasing the guitar. Very highly recommended.

Its the best there is anywhere.

Great place! They only sell quality instruments here, and they inspect and set each guitar up before selling them. Great repair service too!

I always enjoy coming here. They have a wide selection of beautiful acoustic and electric guitars and other instruments too. The staff is knowledgeable and caring about you and your instrument.

We bought our sons first guitar here and they were very kind and helpful. We had no idea what to get him or what size and that patiently walked us through our options. Our son also started lessons there and he loves it. Great family run store.

This is likely the best guitar store in the nation. They specialize in Spanish classical guitars, and have a personal relationship with Alhambra, an elite classical guitar manufacturer. The staff is very knowledgeable and really passionate about guitars.All of their guitars are personally inspected for quality. They have ukuleles as well. A must-visit if you love guitars.

Ive been coming here for 22 years. I love these guys. No mass-produced junk here. This is a boutique experience at regular prices. Each guitar has been adjusted and tailored to bring out the best in each instrument.Theyve helped at least three friends of mine find the right guitars, and theyve helped me find three of my own.Always patient and understanding, you can learn a lot just by conversing with the amazing staff here.Would wholeheartedly recommend for any guitarist, from beginner to advanced!

The attention to detail, professionalism of the staff, and setup before I left with each new guitar will only have me coming here to purchase my next guitar. I picked up a very nice Martin and an amazing Eastman this month. The shop is well laid out, plenty of great guitars to drool on, and they even gave me a private room to play each guitar before buying. Do yourself a favor and stop in

My 1976 Vicente Camacho classical guitar was given the royal treatment at Maple Street Guitars! Jeff expertly replaced the fret wires which had been filed down by the guitars previous owner. The guitar is now a pleasure to play. George made some much needed repairs on the internal bracing and now the guitar has a much longer and brighter sustain. I 100% recommend the repair department if your guitar needs some expert TLC.

Great customer service. I definitely can recommend this store. Awesome experience.

Superb service, highly knowledgeable, and a delight to be standing at any corner of the store. I was served by Mike and he took the time to answer all of my annoying questions. I am now coming here for all my future guitar needs

They answered all of our questions perfectly and where verry knowlegdable about guitars amps and other gear, and did bot hesitate to help.

Great place to go and buy guitar or amp. Howerver if you are handicap you are in trouble. You have to have someone to help you get in the store and out. Dont no about rest rooms I hope they take care of that.

I have been a loyal patron of Maple Street Guitars since before they were Maple Street. George, Claire and Lindsey are the best. They always make me feel like I can play, even though we know better! LOL. In any case, no one knows guitars like these guys. If you want a run of the mill mass produced guitar, go to a big box music store, there are plenty around. But if you are serious and want a special instrument that will give you years of enjoyment, go see these guys.

Took my childhood Fender in to be repaired. They were open and honest about what might need to be done, and gave a reasonable quote. My guitar was in gorgeous condition when I picked it up, and ended up paying less than I was quoted. Great work at reasonable prices. Ill be going back to purchase my next electric.

Great buying experience. Mark P. Was very knowledgeable and helpful in looking at various types and brands. Much better experience and better buy than the big guitar chain around town where we had hardly any help.

Ive never seen such a beautiful selection of guitars. Staff were all music & guitar experts. Warm vibes ... A sweet spot!

Excellent selection and VERY knowledgeable and caring staff that make you feel like youre a friend of the family. If a guitar is in their showroom then it has been thoroughly examined and is in perfect condition. Not to mention, they carry only the best brands. They also give a great warranty. This cannot be said for the big box stores. Support your local small businesses! Highly recommend!

Very helpful service team with quality work. Ive done setups and repairs here. I bought a used acoustic here that was 12 years old, but looked brand new, at a good price. Love that guitar!

It’s a joy to come to this music shop. The staff are the nicest, most genuine and knowledgeable group you’ll ever meet. I get all of my guitar work done here, and have bought several guitars as well. The guys know me by name when I walk in, and it’s those little things that really bring the service up to the next level. I don’t remember everyone’s name, but Jake does all of my repair work; he is an incredible tech and a wonderful guy to chat with. I once brought a signature guitar (PRS Mark Holcomb SE) he had just worked on to Mark Holcomb when I met him at a meet and greet, and he stated that it was the best playing of all his signature guitars he’d played, and spent about 5-10 minutes noodling around on it. Lindsey is also fantastic to work with and helped me when I purchased a new acoustic from them. He continued to bring me guitars in my price range, and showed me all of the features and differences between them.These are all good people and I’d highly recommend working with them.

Ive done business with Maple Street Guitars for many years. They have the best inventory of high quality guitars in Atlanta and their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Its nice to deal with the owners of a business and be shown attention and excellent service. Kudos for a great shop.

Best place shopping and lessons for guitar. Professional guitarist are there to help and teach along with outstanding Luther shop

This is THE store to go to for guitars; to buy one, to get accessories, repairs, lessons and more. The owners and employees have a very deep knowledge of guitars of every kind. I had an appraisal done yesterday of my two guitars for insurance purposes. Lindsay, the awesome manager, did a very detailed and expert appraisal while I waited and charged me a very fair price. I am considering buying another classical guitar from them now and getting an LR Baggs mike put in the one I own. I LOVE this place. A joyful place to spend time.

Best acoustics in Atlanta. Got my d-16 here years ago. They know their stuff and are helpful.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I worked with Lindsey who took the time to help me find the right guitar for me. The service and attention I received was unparalleled to any place I have ever been. I urge any guitar player to stop by there and have a look for themselves.

Always caring and honest folks, and the repair work, even the tricky stuff, is top-notch. Theyll be straight with you on any difficulties or issues. I wont take my guitars anywhere else. Its also an unusual shop in that the guitars, even the less expensive ones, are actually set up properly and in tune.

Professional shop and studio. Quality of instructional staff is amazing. All guitar styles covered. Owner and family are extremely knowledgeable and helpful with personal service.Good guitar selection and styles, from electric, acoustics or classical. (Nice classical guitar section). Prices are fair for the quality of guitar purchased. Check this place out if you just starting out or a seasoned professional.

Ive been going to Maple Street for over 30 years. I wouldnt have gone back a second time if they didnt have the best guitars and people in Atlanta. I live in Duluth but they make it worth the trip.

Maple street is one of the best guitar stores in the area. Great staff for taking lessons (they have a ton of different teachers, and all of them specialize in different styles), and good products. They have a smaller selection than big stores such as Sam Ash or Guitar Center, but I prefer Maple Street because of the personal touches that come with a small store. Also has a pretty convenient location.

The absolute best all around guitar works in town. They I kind they are respectful, they hold no hard feelings towards any particular race. They are some of the most open minded well-intentioned people out there.

Jake is absolutely the best guitar technician the area, know for years and always consistent ! Thanks brother!!The Stache

Ive gone to Maple Street since I was 7 years old and Ive always loved them. Their instructors are top notch, and you cant find instruments that match their quality anywhere else in the area. For anything guitar related, they are the best.

All of the staff were friendly, and extremely helpful. This is the place in the southeast for Total guitar expertise. Certainly we will be back again. Thanks especially to George and Nick. Wish we could rate even higher

THE place for high end classical and steel string guitars in Atlanta! However, the super helpful and knowledgeable staff, make this a great place to purchase any level guitar. Also available is top notch instruction.

Without question one of the premiere boutique guitar shops in the southeast and probably the entire country! Whether youre seeking new gear, lessons, or repairs the staff at MSG offers unparalleled quality and expertise in a non intimidating and welcoming atmosphere. This family run outfit is staffed by folks who have both a true passion for music and for doing business the right way. I highly recommend this store to anyone who is either in the area or even shopping online...in short prepare for all your expectations to be vastly exceeded!

Cool guitars, great staff

I had heard of Maple Street Guitars before, but I had never been there before today. I will without question be going back soon. I went there to see about selling my Blue Ridge BR-70, the first steel string guitar I bought when I started teaching myself 15 years ago. I had traded all of my other dreadnoughts in and purchased smaller body guitars, and it was time to let this one go. I had done some customization to it, and Id been told that Maple Street Guitars was the place to go to sell it, since they are a specialty, boutique type of store with unique instruments. That proved to be truly excellent advice.Ive got a professional day job, but Ive been a musician my entire life. From the moment one walks in, Maple Street has a singularly different feel. It seems almost like going to a friends house, or perhaps a friends music studio. The staff is very friendly, and they really make you feel at home. The selection of guitars is remarkable, and one could get lost for hours just looking at, let alone playing, the remarkable works of musical art there; all competely free of the slightest sales pressure that one sometimes finds in some chain music stores.On top of that, if you have a unique instrument to sell, this is absolutely the place to sell it. I had a price in mind for my Blue Ridge, but I wasnt sure I could actually get that price; and I dont think I would have gotten it at any other store. But to my astonishment, after looking closely at it and looking up comparable guitars, Lindsey - the one to talk to about selling your guitar - offered me exactly what I was hoping to get. They are not bound by the rules one encounters in chain stores, and Leslie is free to evaluate each guitar as the unique instrument that it is.Of course, if you want full price, try to sell your guitar yourself. But if you are willing to allow a discount to the store that will have to take up their space and time selling it so that you dont have to, take it to Maple Street Guitars.After the sale, I hung around talking to the staff and other customers. Their friendly atmosphere invites that. This is a unique store that sells unique guitars in a friendly and pressure free atmosphere. I will definitely be back when I am looking to buy or trade for another guitar.

After 25 years, ive decided to get back into playing guitar. I brought up my 74 tele deluxe for a setup. Lindsay was super helpful, friendly and informative. A week later it was ready and much less expensive than I expected. It plays beautifully.I wound up staying and chatting longer than I had expected. Just walking in reminded me of the days when I worked in a music shop when I was 18.Once I get the rest of my guitars from NJ, I will definitely bring them here.Quality store, Quality service.

Great shop!! The owner George is all about customer service and great guitars. They will set up or repair you instrument. I will return to his store the next time Im in Atlanta!

While on a trip to Atlanta to visit my brother, I did a quick online search for guitar shops in the area in an attempt to sell a high-end Brazilian rosewood acoustic . I quickly realized Maple Street Guitars was first on the list to check out and they certainly exceeded my expectations. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely sincere staff that truly understands the importance of serving customers - even new ones from out of town...Thank you to Maple Street Guitars for such a fantastic experience!

These people know Martin Guitars like no other shop Ive been to. Great vibe of the shop.For repairs and service, best place you can take a valuable acoustic.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great to see independent businesses with some character.

Easy parking, plenty of service and attention, lots of merchandise to choose from, experts in their products, delightful experience in every way.

My favorite store on the planet. Knowledgeable people who dont care if you are a beginner or concert musician. They treat everyone well.

Lindsay the owner was great to deal with. We bought a guitar on our way back to NC.

For setups and sales, you cannot beat Maple Street Guitars. I brought in a Les Paul and a G&L Tele, and they got them in tip top shape in no time. Highly recommended.

Amazing selection of acoustic guitars and one of the best repair shops in the Atlanta area, also has great teachers with a full lessons facility.

Awesome shop! I took my dads mid-1960s Gibson SG to Maple Street for a full repair as a Christmas gift. The guitar itself was a mess; no bridge among other missing pieces. The electronics were all screwed up and the piece had no been played in 30 years or so. They completed the job within 3 weeks and it looks and sounds great. Jake was super helpful and knowledgeable. They even went out of their way to track down the original bridge for the guitar that only one company sells anymore. Above and beyond. Great work!

Best guitar store in Atlanta, if not the whole US. George & Claire Petsch and family are warm and theres a small town personal feeling about the store, even though theyve got everything you could hope for in terms of guitars. The teachers are great, too.

My husband is a guitar player and loves this place. Great people and great guitars to choose from.

I have been shopping and/or taking lessons at Maple Street for over 30 years - and I recently had yet another extremely positive experience with Lindsey and Chris buying my new Collings 290!

They are really good at what they do and they listen to everything you tell them and they are real organized and they detail instruments and they are the best guitar place to go to because they give you singing lessons and also when you step in the door they see about you right away I recommend them to anybody.

Great selection of guitars and knowledgeable staff.

The staff are friendly and lead from teaching. The price ranges are friendly to your budget.

Everyone here is so nice and knowledgeable. Lindsey was a great help. The selection of guitars is fantastic!

Wonderful variety of acoustics from Collings, Goodall, Lowden, Martin, SCGC, Taylor and others, and all had fresh strings. Lindsay stayed an hour after closing to accommodate my travel schedule. I was amazed that every instrument I was handed was truly in tip-top shape and was a great-sounding copy of that model. Even the entry-level guitars are given a full setup and fret attention to make learning easier. The owner’s attention to detail is apparent, even the humidity level was pleasant and not swampy like can often be the case. I felt the guitars were in an environment that gave them their best chance to be heard for what they were. Highly recommended.

Wonderful service! The only place I trust with my guitar, especially since Im a beginner.

Excellent customer service. The staff are the most informed about their instruments that you will find in Atlanta.

Great family owned music store. The folks working here are not afraid to go above and beyond to make you happy. Ill always come back. My husband bought his Waterloo here and he hasnt let that smile fade one bit.. My only complaint and its just a personal one, they only carry Deering banjos, no other brand. We came here for their selection of boutique guitars, and I hoped their selection of banjos would match. I have been on the hunt for boutique banjos to play and hopefully take one home. Id love too see some Hubers, bishlines, and stellings in here since you can buy deerings just about anywhere.

Friendly staff and amazing selection of acoustic guitars!! Thanks Brandon!!

Replaced a tone pot and the nut on my Les Paul. Great price, service and work. No one else is going to repair my guitars.

I got my new baby at Maple. Perfect sound, I love it! The store is great and the staff is helpful and competent.

Great selection of acoustic and electric guitars and a fair selection of mandolins and ukuleles.

One of Atlantas best guitar shops. Great service and the repair department is wonderful.

This is the place where the real guitar players go. Excellent selection of super high end instruments and good personnel to help you find what youre looking for.
