Whether it's for holiday shopping, any other occasion or you simply need a new guitar then find out more about the three best guitar shops in Tampa. If you want either an acoustic or electric guitar, one or all of these stores should meet your needs. Sadly, the great Thoroughbred Music is no longer around. That was the epitome of guitar shops in Tampa Bay. With each of these guitar shops you will get information on locations, hours, and merchandise. What are we waiting for? Let's get started.

1.) Legends Guitars - Tampa, Florida

This is the ultimate in new and used guitars since 2003. They feature brands such as Gibson, Fender, Dean, PRS, G&L, Martin, Taylor and Dr. Z amplifiers. You'll find low end to high end products as well as a knowledgeable staff to help you. No matter if you're a novice or experienced player this is the guitar shop for you. Legends Guitars hours of operations are: Monday - Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturdays 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Closed on Sundays. 4340 W. Hillsborough Avenue, Tampa, Florida 33614 (813) 348-0688

3.) Don Banks Music- Tampa, Florida

We come to one located in South Tampa. Don Banks Music works closely with schools and their music programs. This store's specialty is musical instruments, especially guitars. Here is another family owned business that's been around since 1968. Their store hours are: Monday-Thursday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Sundays they are closed. 3628 Henderson Boulevard Tampa, Florida 33609 (813) 872-6008

Two of the guitar shops are family owned and operated while the third is an independent business. You're not about to find the franchise chain or corporate structure mentality in either one of them. What sets these three apart from a lot of other businesses locally is their exceptional detail to customer service and personalized attention. Investing in a guitar takes time and money. You'll get your money's worth with these three best guitar shops in Tampa.
