Gryphon Stringed Instruments

Gryphon Strings is a terrific resource for guitarists at every level. For certain, they carry top quality instruments for pros and for collectors. But new players can find great instruments, too. There are instruments for pretty much every genre, from banjos and ukuleles to classical and finger style to electrics and basses. The repair shop is among the best in the world. Plus the folks are knowledgeable and friendly. Check them out.

Friendly staff - very knowledgeable and willing to be helpful. Great legendary Palo Alto institution. Great selection of stringed intstruments, amplifiers, sheet music.
I am very happy this store is here.

Fantastic shop. I purchased my favorite used acoustic there, a Santa Cruz D-PW, and there are always more fabulous instruments to try. They also do amazing repair and setups; totally saved my SG, (yes - they do a great job on electrics too).

I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for fast hassle free repairs.

What I like about this store is that it’s convenient for my location, the employees seemed really nice, and they have fast and quick repairs. I recommend this place to any future customer

This place is special. I can’t rave about it enough. Every guitar in there from $150-$24k has been set up great and plays super nice. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do and do a top notch job at it.

One example of this is when I was trying out a guitar I liked and noticed some buzzing on one of the strings. I brought it to the counter, asked if there was anything they could do about it. They took it to the back to inspect the problem and try to fix it. Comparing this place to somewhere like guitar center is really night and day. They truly earned my business.

The employees are great. The guitars are great. The vibe is great. This shop is great. I love it.
