This place is well deserved of its rating. I walked in with several guitars that needed new set ups. Drop off took minutes and had it all back in a few days. All sounds great and price was outstanding. The atmosphere is laid back and everyones an enthusiast. Good vibes all around. Thanks again!
Owner Mike did an exceptional job on my guitar and has a store thats just plain cool. Definitely bringing my other axes here.
Super cool dudes who run it. No pressure environment. Will be down to let you know when they get what youre looking for, in stock
This is the place to go for all of your stringed instrument needs. The staff is great and very knowledgeable about all of their products. If you are a beginner you can get lessons here as well. They have a great selection to choose from as well.
Very nice Studios and the gentleman mr. Kirk and they are very nice and very helpful and very very knowledgeable
These guys are wizards man. Mike is the best, this is a great place to hear good stories and good musicians just nerding out.I drive an hour just to bring my gear here every time and Im always satisfied and wont go anywhere else! Thanks guys!Support the local businesses
Great, a lot of vintage amps and guitars!
9-2-20 Brought in my acoustic guitar with a buzzing E string. Mike thoroughly checked the neck for proper alignment, fret wear, and nut wear. After assessing what was wrong he was able to fill the E string nut groove with a special epoxy. With some delicate filling he had the E string sitting at the proper depth in the nut that stopped the buzzing. All this was done while I patiently waited for the repair. When I asked for the bill, Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, no charge. Thanks Mike for your prompt service and expertise. Its good to know that we have a reliable and competent luthier in our area.
Always a pleasure going into Players... A staple in the south suburbs of Chicago. One of those good old shops where you can be there for hours bsing about nothing and everything. Always a great experience.
Players is still the best place to take your guitar for service. Always excellent work, and they seriously undercharge for their service.
Mike rules, great people at Players Guitars.
Top notch repair of vintage gear; these guys care.
I do not take my guitars to get set up anywhere else. Mike is awesome. Does great guitar work and repairs. He is honest and will do almost anything a fraction of the price of Guitar Center. Please support this great neighborhood music store!
This is a wonderful place. Mike is amazing and has so many instrument. New and used.
Great place!
Great folks! Mike, the owner is awesomely helpful. Honest and down to earth practical.
No one gives the great customer service than Players guitars.Proud to be a customer.
I brought my son to this store to get his bass guitar repaired.I thought it was going to be a drop off and come back in a few days type of thing.But to my surprise the gentleman behind the counter repaired my sons guitar while we waited.The price for the repair was more than responsible and the staff is very friendly and knowledge.
Highly recommended, Mike does a fantastic job with guitar set-ups. Only place I will go.
Ive been taking my guitars here for years. Awesome guys that do great work. I wont take my gear anywhere else.
The best guitar guru in Chicago. These guys are wizards and can get your guitar playing better than new.
Great place to get work done on your instrument. They are very knowledgeable and also have a good selection of used equipment.
The Best Place for quality repairs on guitars and have been for over 10 yrs .Mike and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.
Great place, been bringing my guitars here for service for years. Mike is awesome!
The best place on the south side. Ive gone to players for 16 years or so. The lessons, advice, knowledge and fun inspirational environment of good people who love guitar and music is what they are about. They not only do great work, but they explain to you whats going on and what kind of options you might have. The main thing I can say is every time you go there you leave with a smile on your face and some motivation to go home and play guitar.
Guitar shop run by guys who love music and guitars. Honest and no BS. You would be hard pressed to find a better shop and better people.
Take your axes to Mike...he will set you straight here at the guitar Emporium on West 111th Street...In the market for some gear..? Looking for something vintage? They have the stuff for you at Players Guitars....!
Great local music store. Relaxed atmosphere, nice people. I personally havent had any work done there but have heard from several of my colleagues that they do top notch setups and repairs.
Fast service. Excellent people who really know their craft. Went in for a bass setup. In and out in less than 45 minutes.
Best shop in the area. Got my guitar setup in only 30 min. Plays great!!
Mellow vibe and top notch skills of the staff make it one of the places to shop here. They also recommended Treble Clef for my saxophone needs. Go there for your guitar needs
Great place
Music teacher for guitar lessons very good.
Dropped off my bass that hasnt been played in years, they replaced the bad jack and got my bass working beautifully again!! Thanks guys!
Ive been playing guitar for almost 40 years and Ive been going to Players for the past 20 years. Theyre the BEST guitar techs around and definitely the most reasonably priced and friendly. These guys will NEVER try to sell you on something you dont need. They do business they old fashioned way... both honestly and willing to go the extra mile to help you. No egos in this store, just great service. If you havent been there, give them a try. I guarantee youll be a customer for life.
I have been going somewhere since I was 8. I met Jerry there one day and realized they were close friends. Anyone who knows my guy is good so when my guy was stacked up with more than he could handle, I went Players and man, was extremely pleased!!! Mike is awesome, Kurt, the whole crew par excellence!!!
Best damn guitar shop out there!Nobody knows guitars like Mike and Jerry. Also a great place for lessons.
If you want the work done right, take it to Players for all your guitar needs !!!
Great Service and honest prices. These guys are the best to go to and will help you with everything you need. I went to Third coast to get my amp looked at, it was $90 just for them to look at it. These guys fixed the issue with half the cost! Very underrated guitar shop that is more honest than every place Ive been to. You dont get the salesperson trying to make a quick buck off you just for commission. I would compare them to a honest mechanic that you can trust to get exactly what I need for to fix the problem. Definitely worth checking out.
Very knowledgeable staff. Great music teachers. Top notch guitar techs.
Great place! My kids been taking lessons here with great results. The guys know their gear, how to play, how to build, and how to fix and set up guitars.
Players Guitars is seriously excellent! Mike and the guys have a lifetime of knowledge. Highly recommend them.
Fast and friendly service; along with a wealth of knowledge & information. Theyve earned, and maintained my business for 20+ years. This is my go-to spot for all my guitarsmith needs.
Those guys saved my Ibanez Jem that guys at Guiter Center in Arlington Heights messed up.I live on the North side but I dont mind spending an hour to get there.Five stars is simply not enough.
These guys are very professional. If somethings broke and you need it fixed they will explain to you exactly whats needed and with care as if it were their own instrument. Taking your needs here will guarantee the job will be done right!!!
Mike is the best tech around. In my band RAVENWEST I only bring my guitars to Players for work. Fast, excellent repair. Friendly staff and very cool place to hangout. My wife literally has to pull me out of their its so cool lol. Players rocks!!!
Great place to bring your guitar in! Super knowledgeable guys and fantastic for the price.
Best guitar shop for any repair or buy! Staff is extremely helpful.
I love my guitar teacher, Marty!!!! I look forward to every lesson. He is kind, smart,fun, encouraging, empathetic,sweet and sincere!!! He rocks

Great Service! Mike is awesome! I came in to rewire and install new pickups in my epiphone les paul guitar, and when the work was done, I asked Mike if he had a Gibson Les Paul that I could compare my sound to. Dude comes out with Kirk Hammets Les Paul guitar and lets me play it! One of the coolest experiences Ive ever had in a guitar shop! These guys have always done great work for me. I would highly recommend this place to any of my musician friends!
The people were so friendly and helpful!
