Guitar Maniacs is a local guitar store with an amazing and rare inventory, featuring cool vintage guitars, a broad spectrum of stringed instruments, and a slew of the coolest old amps. It feels like a guitar museum with reasonable prices on less common pieces. Customers access the shop by knocking on a barred door, where they are let in by the staff. The workers are super duper nice, friendly, warm, welcoming, and helpful. They stand behind their products and reputation, providing solid, quick, and friendly service with no hassle. Staff members put guitars in customers' hands to try, let them demo any guitar, and go out of their way to be kind and work with them. The owner is also knowledgeable and helpful. It is the place to check out for inspiration, whether you play or not, and you will feel the love the moment you walk in. Customers report having a great experience and plan to return many more times.
Amazing guitar shop. If you're looking to check out guitars, basses, amps or pedals in the Seattle area this is a must-see shop. The shop itself is very well planned an most of the guitars are really nice high end boutique instruments. They put a lot of thought into the experience and the inventory.
