Went in to get an end peg drilled into an acoustic guitar. While we waited DeForest the owner showed us some ukuleles and played a few for us to learn about the instrument. He also showed us the range of instruments he stocks including mandolin which we loved. Personable, helpful and reasonably priced if you have a guitar need look no further. They have everything guitar, mandolin, ukulele related I cant recommend them enough! Thanks for everything guys !

Steve helped me get a Martin setup in less than 10 minutes. He immediately recognized the simple solution. Not only did he do a great job, but refused to charge me. Ill definitely be bringing my other guitar in for repairs,

Great selection of guitars, DeForest was extremely helpful and he is very knowledgeable on woods and styles. Great prices on strings! Much cheaper than Guitar Center and way better nylon strings for classical (including a full range of high tension strings).

R.I.P. - Unfortunately the Blue Guitar closed their doors for good. At one time this was one of the best guitar shops on the west coast...

I went to buy a new classical guitar. The owner DeForest Thornburgh provided all the help I needed. Patient and knowledgeable, two things you dont seem to get at the big box guitar stores. Highly recommend to anyone whos shopping for an acoustic guitar to try this place first.Anyways on to the instrument. After a good hour or so of trying out guitars I ended up walking out the door with a Cordoba C7, very nice for my needs. Good quality. Great deep tone. Plays smooth and fast. I expect it to work out great for many years to come.

Went to Blue Guitar to have some work done on my bass. The person I spoke with over the phone seemed unfriendly and short with me. I assumed the arrogance was because they knew what they we doing and were just direct and to the point. Boy was I wrong! the held my bass for 3 weeks without doing anything, then made some excuse about shipping problems for my drop d tuner, the the technician guided me in the direction to buy my own part from ebay, and it was the wrong part. It cost me 80 bucks. Never again. Dont waste your time here The Repair Zone are much more professional, in every respect.

What? When?This was my favorite store to come when i was back in San Diego after a tour. What happened? This place was a beautiful hidden Gem, always spent hours chatting away...God bless this place one of the most coolest spots ever. Will be missed!!This was truly one badass little shop. Alot of hidden gear GC didnt have.

There are only a couple of shops like this in the entire country. Blue Guitar, Gryphon in Palo Alto, and Music Emporium in the Boston Area. For someone looking to get an acoustic guitar or ukulele, this is the place. Expert knowledge, superb repair staff, friendly and helpful. They even have guitar builders on the premises! Definitely a 5 star rating in all respects.

DeForest was ALWAYS very helpful, everytime I went in the Blue Guitar. Sometimes, hed play a little tune on my Ukulele, that was always a treat. I stopped by today to get the low G string replaced on my Uke, and found out the store CLOSED !!!!! Im soooo bummed, but, I understand DeForest...Thanx for your wonderful service...PLAY ON !!!!🎼🎵🎶

DeForest was recommended based on his obscure guitar knowledge when I couldnt find ANYTHING online about a certain brand and so I took it to him and was in and out within 5mins walked out basically and expert. He is super nice a day helpful

Guy knows his stuff. Gave us a great price and threw in some free things too!

These guys are so helpful!! Great store!

Great guitars in all price ranges

THE place to get your guitars repaired!!!
