I bought a stunning, award-winning Gao Yi flamenca blanca guitar with Patrick’s help. He answered many questions for me, and was honest with me about reselling my other guitar, which I greatly appreciated. I learn so much from this site. (And I love all the videos!) Thank you!
The place has one of the best acoustic sound for guitars!
I was in the area and stopped by to check out some guitars. I was greeted by a nice gentleman at the door, and invited me in and showed me around. I was able to look around and try out some amazing guitars. Really a great place, the staff is very kind and professional. Definitely a place to go to if you are looking for a nice quality classical guitar.
My first time working with Guitar Salon. Patrick is GREAT. First class guitar shopping experience. I almost was going to import a guitar from Spain myself ~ so glad I was able to get it here instead! 100% worth it. Just wanted to say thank you to the folks at Guitar Salon for taking care of me! The Camps cl20 is beautiful!!
I just purchased an Hermanos Camps CL-18 from Guitar Salon. I had a great experience with the staff. Sales director, JohnPaul Trotter, spent all of the time with me that I needed to make the right decision on an instrument. All staff members with whom I worked have a comprehensive knowledge of classical guitars, tone woods, finishes, strings, etc. If you are a professional, serious amateur player or dedicated student of classical guitar, a fine instrument is a must in developing your voice with the instrument. Guitar Salon is the place to go. I will be back in due time for another addition to the collection.
If your looking for a classical or flamingo guitar this is your place. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. The whole staff is professionally trained. 5 STAR FOR SURE!
Purchased a Daniel Friederich classical guitar. Patrick was helpful and made it a smooth transaction.
Best place in California for high end classical guitars. I came in on a Saturday and John-Paul took the time to show me all the best guitars they had. No pressure at all and I walked out with a 1966 Conde Hermanos Guitar. Amazing place. You will not be disappointed.
GSI is the Greatest! They are very nice, knowledgeable, patent and helpful, in making sure you get the right guitar for you and your liking. Highly recommended. 6 stars out of 5
They are really quick to reply and seem helpful. I've never had a purchase from there yet though. But I've enjoyed watching some of their videos.
Outstanding guitar shop. Salesmen are very nice guys, they're knowledgeable about their products and they don't upsell. The selection is excellent, and overall this is just a very clean, professional environment.
Buying a guitar from Guitar Salon International was a wonderful experience. I also sold them a guitar a couple of years ago and that was super easy also. I had the pleasure of working with David Collett. I live on the east coast so had to do everything on the phone. David took the time (lots of time) to talk me through the process and help me make the right decision. I felt perfectly at ease ordering my guitar and having it shipped. I have to add also that my Wolfgang Jellinghaus "Torres 77" is a fabulous magical little guitar. It has literally changed my world. Due to a broken left arm and a dislocated pinkie finger my larger guitar equaled pain. This small powerhouse of a guitar has made playing pleasurable again, and it is so beautiful. In just a few days she has opened up and is singing. Guitar Salon International is in the business of helping musicians first, then selling guitars!

GSI is an excellent store! I bought a vintage classical guitar from them, and it was a great experience! Their staff talked to me at length and patiently answered my many questions. The process of trying and buying the guitar was very easy and low-stress. I would definitely buy from this store again. They also have a killer YouTube channel!
Great selection of guitars, knowledgeable staff.
I made the pilgrimage here to watch David Russell teach. Thank you to GSI and all those who helped organized the event in your wonderful venue.
I just wanted to leave a comment about Patrick Schettler, who helped me select and buy a guitar Saturday February 12. Patrick was great. He went above and beyond what was necessary for me to have a positive experience. Patrick was great to talk to and I learned a lot from him about each guitar I tried out. He was very patient as I played several guitars (over a period of more than three hours), and asked to see others I had on my list. He also played some of them for me to help me narrow them down, so I could hear them from an audience perspective. He was friendly and professional. Always available, but didn't hover. I give him five stars. Thanks, and best regards,
Simply awesome, client service and guitars.. Highly recommended…
If you live in Southern CA and are looking for a place to purchase a serious classical/flamenco guitar then you MUST visit Guitar Salon International. The selection of beautiful vintage/modern guitars is amazing but more important is the service, knowledge and expertise of its employees. From start to finish you are dealing with GUITARISTS and not salespeople so their opinions will definitely matter and help you make an informed purchase. I had many great conversations with John Paul but the person most responsible for my overall purchase and satisfaction was Andy Lee. Andy is the consummate professional and was patient, accommodating and helped facilitate a great purchase. I ended up with a 1977 Ramirez 1A and extremely happy and content that I worked with Andy & GSI on this purchase. I will DEFINITELY be back for my next purchase and highly recommend that you consider GSI for your serious guitar purchase. Thanks JohnPaul, Andy and the entire team for a memorable experience
This was my first visit to GSI and I was extremely happy with the trip. Andrew was great in assisting me with information about each of the instruments that interested me and I hope to return soon!
