At Matt Umanov Guitars our staff is dedicated to music...

Performing it ourselves, and helping others find the right tools to make it. Buying the guitar that's right for you is a personal choice, and we hope to provide an atmosphere that is unhurried, honest, and informative in which to make that decision.

Unlike the "supermarket" style music stores, we specialize in guitars, and only guitars...new and used, acoustic and electric, basses, amps, effects, parts, and accessories. After your purchase, our shop stands ready to help with any adjustments you might want specific to your playing style or needs. Our store has earned the reputation for being the place to shop for the best products and service.

It is our hope that this website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers. So, if you are searching for that rare, one-of-a-kind instrument to round out your collection, or you are looking for your kid's first guitar... welcome.
