Testimonials

Down Home Guitar is a great place for acoustic-music lovers in the south suburbs of Chicago.

1. They sell a wide variety of acoustic stringed instruments, from cheap beginner instruments to some very high-end instruments. Personally, I have bought a 12-string guitar, a ukulele, and a bass guitar, plus numerous sets of strings and picks from them.

2. Throughout the year they have about 10 to 12 concerts. The listening room holds about 80 people and is acoustically perfect for the shows. Not a bad seat in the room. And the acts that play there are often very high-level performers: Special Consensus, J. D. Crowe, Blue Highway, the Hillbenders, and more. I’ve never seen a bad show there.

Fell in love with a guitar when I saw it (online). Had several questions before the purchase. Steve answered all my questions and then some. Very professional group of people at Down Home Guitars. Acknowledging their vast experience, I am in the process of working with Steve on my dream guitar retirement gift to myself and looking forward to the joint endeavor.

Hi Steve,

The guitar is in Austin, in my house, all safe and sound! It arrived in record time and perfect condition, and I really appreciate your expert packing. Sounds just as nice here as it did in the shop. thanks again!

Steve, I got the guitar today and I just wanted to say thank you for your help in making this possible. I probably would have settled for much less of an instrument had I not found your shop. I appreciate your patience as I played just about every guitar in your shop! I am extremely pleased with the McPherson – it sounds and looks just as good as I remembered. Down Home Guitars is a great place to buy a guitar and I have already encouraged others to find you as I did, on the web. I hope to stop by again some day if I ever make it back to Illinois. Thank you!
