Third time’s charm!

Imagine: exquisite woods gathered on five continents, carefully shaped and joined following traditions begun nearly two centuries ago. Inlays of shell from the waters of New Zealand glisten vividly upon a beautiful amber top finished in the style of the 1930’s. Sweet, distinctly Martin, OOO tone resonates warmly against the body and tickles the ears with every note and chord. And then there’s the promise of even greater rewards with future play … Wow! Thanks once again to Steve and his crew for helping me realize my dream of owning a few wonderful instruments. I’ll always be a fan of Down Home Guitars!

A true gem

I came across this true gem store very serendipitously. I was looking for a boutique acoustic guitar and found something that truly blows my mind. The selection of masterpieces at Down Home Guitars is exceptional. I ended up getting a Bourgeois featured at the 2023 Artisan Guitar Show Collection, a truly unique piece that sound heavenly!! I have to give a big shoot out to Steve. As the selection of pieces was truly exceptional, coming up with a choice that fit my needs required some time. Steve has helped me tremendously and provided me with great advices and helpful considerations. The atmosphere in the show was very relaxed and completely made me feel at ease and very comfortable enjoying very expensive guitars. I cannot recommend Down Home Guitars and Steve enough!

Still a Fan!

The “Blisters on my fingers” thing may have been a slight exaggeration, but Steve and his crew have done it again.  This time, Steve paired me with a beautiful Bourgeois 00 Style 42 that I simply can’t put down.  To say it is a pleasure doing business with Down Home Guitars is certainly no exaggeration and the quality of the guitars they sell is undeniable.  Thanks once again to Steve and his crew!  I am still a fan!

Martin

This guitar is as beautiful as described. It was very securely packed (both the shipping box and within the guitar case itself), it shipped quickly (same day), and it arrived quickly. The guitar was even cleaned and polished before it was shipped. Communication was immediate and above par. I’m grateful for the quick, clean, and easy transaction.

Thanks, a bunch, Steve. This baby has bells!

Outstanding customer service

I recently bought a Collings OM from Down Home Guitars and could not be happier with my experience. Both of the sales associates were clearly experts, gave excellent advice, and allowed me to leisurely test out several models. I was even able to trade in a guitar and was given a fair price. I highly recommend Down Home Guitars and hope to purchase another instrument from them in the future.
