      ABOUT THE SHOP

    Store

    Our 13,000-square-foot store features an expansive showroom with vintage fretted instruments as well as select, high-quality new instruments. Customers are welcome to try out instruments on comfortable benches or in private rooms.

    Through merging with The North American Guitar and Cotten Music, we've also incorporated select inventory from small workshop luthiers to try out in our boutique room. The same TNAG team who's sold these guitars are still here to help you find the right instrument, including Kim Sherman.
