Awesome selection, very friendly staff. I had to drive a couple hours to get there and was definitely worth the trip.

One of the best guitar and amp stores anywhere. Lots of high-end gear (also lots for the budget minded). Super staff. Zack was fantastic.

I had an LP that needed new push/pull pots replaced. Phil really went out of his way on the service job. If you need a setup or repair, Phil's a good guy.

Midwood guitar studio is a great store. I have been shopping here for years, and they consistently have the best gear and the best customer service. I'm a touring musician that really appreciates great quality and care.

This is such a great guitar store. The store design is super cool. It's high-end yet really comfortable and approachable. Love the design of the custom pipe structure that displays guitars in the main showroom. If you're a guitar player, you've got to stop by just to see and experience the place. It's great. The staff is equally amazing. Philip recently set up my white Gretsch 12 string Falcon Rancher and WOW, it plays like a dream now. I didn't think the guitar was too bad off the shelf - but Philip was able to dial it in to where it plays like a dream now. So much better. I'm super thrilled. I chatted with Philip when picking my guitar up and learned he is a true luthier with the schooling and experience to back it up. He actually built guitars professionally for 10 years so he's not just a guy who changes strings. He's a guitar master craftsman who knows how to get the most out of a guitar.

The best guitar shop in Charlotte, and I never go anywhere else when I'm in the market for strings, an amp, a pedal, or a new guitar.

Best guitar shop in the universe! So friendly and patient! We hit traffic on the way to pickup a guitar in their shop and got there 10 mins after close, but called ahead and Phil waited for us!! So rare to find that kind of service!!

There’s few guitar shops that come to mind that I’d take my own guitar to when I need work done. But Midwood is the top of my list. Phil does excellent work. I had really expensive pickups put in my Les Paul by someone else and the wiring job was stellar and fine, but the pickups had been over tightened in the mount and actually became warped so they no longer fit flush in the mount. Phil replaced them and made them fit more flush in my guitar again without a tremendous price point.

I have been dealing with Doug and the fine crew at Midwood Guitars for 5 years now I only buy from them if they have what i want and they always do, best place to buy pedals custom shop fenders and a lot of other brands, they have always given me a great deal if I could give 10 stars i would fine people to deal with.

Barry Westbrook (March 16th, 2024)

Took my Les Paul in to have the toggle switch repaired/replaced and Phillip was able to get me in and out quickly as I had a short window of time. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded much if he took a little longer as I never get tired of roaming the shop dreaming about my next guitar.

I love this guitar shop. They have high end guitars and gear always in stock. The staff is super nice and helpful too!

Great staff. They’re so welcoming and passionate about helping their clients/providing excellent service. Special shout out to Phil, Midwood’s luthier. This guy does some very professional work, and man can he do it fast. His experience really shines through both his craft and communication skills. He set up my Custom 24 SE and added some pick-up covers in under a day’s time even though he had a massive queue of projects. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work. He answered all of my questions, no matter how silly they were, and I can confidently say that my guitar plays the better than anything I’ve touched in the last 15 years. If you live in CLT (or are even visiting, as I was my case), you should really consult Phil for your guitar needs.

Just an outstanding guitar shop, from the beautiful decor to an incredible inventory and an outstanding knowledgeable staff. I have bought and sold several guitars since moving to Charlotte last year and each transaction was handled in a friendly and professional manner. In these dealings I have had the occasion to interact with each staff member and could not be more pleased. These guys confirm the value of a locally owned shop every time I stop by. I look forward to dealing with these folks whenever possible. Highly recommended!!!

Charles Thompson (April 4th, 2024)

Great staff, beautiful selection, prices are same as online with the added advantage of physically seeing what you're buying. Highly recommend.

Leslie Paul Farkas (April 4th, 2024)

I continue to be super grateful to have this wonderful shop right here in Charlotte. I’ve purchased a half dozen guitars and an amp or two from them. Never disappointed. Their luthier Phillip does a fabulous job caring for instruments purchased there and elsewhere. Douglas, Sage, everyone at Midwood Guitar Studio is top notch!

David McQuirt (April 2024)

Fantastic selection of guitars, boutique amps and pedals. Love the atmosphere, very nice vibe.

James Garcia (May 2024)

Recently had my bass setup here- the staff are super friendly and genuinely care about what they do. I will absolutely be coming back here soon!

James Grissom (May 2024)

Great store with great people. Have purchased a Badlander, a Taylor, and a couple of pedals and they are always great at helping me find what I need. Phillip the on site luthier does outstanding work on my vintage instruments. He’s careful, efficient, and honest. When I get the guitars back, they play like a dream.

Glad I found my way to the friendly folks at Midwood Guitar Studio. Many thanks to Phillip for breathing new life into my 1973 Gibson SG. The action is perfect, the neck repair looks great and it finally stays in tune. I'll drive up from Rock Hill to do business anytime. Thanks guys!

Thank you MGS for not one but two great experiences! I am a drummer but needed a mic cable looked at for use with internally mounting a D112 in my kick drum. The first time I came by they looked at the cable and corrected the connectors for me. I then brought it back to have it tested so I didn't damage the mic. They tested and were extremely helpful. Specifically, Philip was as kind a patient as could be. I hope I have another reason to visit again.

Superb guitar studio. Good stock and excellent service.

Steve Restivo (July 2024)

I ended up buying a used guitar online and all I can say is top shelf service and incredible team of people to work with. Thank you so much for a 5 star experience! If you are looking for a great place to buy incredible gear, then look no further! I cannot recommend them highly enough!! Thank you so much!!
