Guitars are usually small to medium sized, lightweight instruments with a holow body and the neck that contains the strings. The tuning keys on the top are usually at the top of the fret board, and they are used to change the note, and tune the instrument. Repair shops usually tune and repair guitars as well. There are some companies that make only certain styles of guitar, but they are a very small part of the overall guitar product line and their focus is strictly on their niche product, like recycled guitars and other styles.

What About Prices

Prices range widely, and depending on the brand and condition, and the type of instrument, a music shop might charge as much as a thousand dollars or more for a high end instrument. In

extreme cases, the bill can be even higher. Some expensive brands of violins are worth millions of dollars, and it is rare for one of these to need a repair. Most instruments are not so valuable, and an instrument is only worth what someone can afford to purchase it. However, if an instrument is irreplaceable, then it is a good idea to spend a little extra money up front to make sure that you have adequate insurance in place should any repairs be needed later on.

Finding Rare Instruments

You can usually find a decent selection of good instruments at most of the instrument shops, but if you are looking for something unique or out of the ordinary, you may have a hard time finding it. For instance, it could be nearly impossible to find a Fender Stratocaster online, because the company makes all of their instruments in the United States, except for the prestige models. You will have a more difficult time locating a Yamaha Cello online, or a Gibson Les Paul guitar online, because Gibson guitars are hard to come by.

It is important to remember that just because a guitar repair shop sells instruments, doesn’t mean that they are the best place to get a particular type of instrument. If you know the right person to talk to at the music stores in your area, you will have a much better chance of getting what you want. This is especially true when it comes to classical music stores. These stores will know the best places to go if you have a special guitar in mind. Whether you need an instrument for a performance, or you just want one that you can play at home to music, there is a store that will have what you need.
