Awesome customer service. I bought a guitar from this shop and I quickly realized that I actually wanted something better quality… I was able to exchange an upgrade the next day with no issue. thanks! 🎸

Great experience. Wanted an electric guitar and Marty was able to talk me through a few styles and models and found a sound I liked. Not having much knowledge myself but a will and a way they were able to help me get what I wanted without breaking the bank. Great experience

Did a great set up on my new strat with floating tremolo. Pro.
Have served the musicians of the Chicago area for over three decades, Perry's is your stop for all things guitar. Featuring a huge selection of stringed instruments, after you ?get the band back together,' then this is the place to get your gear. There are open mic nights to hone your singing chops, and you can also sign up for Rock University if you want to sharpen your playing skills. And while the folks at Perry's can't guarantee you that seven-figure record deal, they can guarantee you will at least have the gear to get you on your way. Freebird!!
