Guitar Haven

Absolutely the bests guitar setups around! I won't take my guitars anywhere else. I thought my Taylor played well before bringing it to them... now it's AMAZING! My girlfriend was having trouble with her barre chords and some transitions on her Hummingbird... no more! To quote the owner 'it plays like buttah'. I've gotten spoiled and I'm going to even have them setup my camping and travel guitars! Go to them. You won't be disappointed!

Awesome guitar shop! We just love this place. It looks and smells like you are inside of a giant dusty humbucker, or in the back of an old fender deluxe. Howie has fixed a few of my les paul necks, and banjos and they are holding up perfectly going on 10 years. I find great things in there for beginner, intermediate and pro. I highly recommend this place, only down side is the crazy parking lot, not their fault though, too many shops beachside, but you can usually get a good story about the old days from the hippie surfers that haunt guitar haven.

Thanks,

If you want a great guitar or amp at a fair price...here you go! If you want a repair or mod made to your precious guitar...go NO WHERE else!! The store is not that large but what they can do for you is huge! I say this as seriously as I can...if a prized guitar of mine (or any guitar) needed a mod or repair...I would take it no where else in Brevard!!

Howie is the best, friendly and always professional treats my guitars like his own.Great prices and fast repairs!

Excellent people. The owner Howie knows his stuff. If you need to trust your instrument to get repaired Howie is the guy. Rick lessons are great too!

Had a great experience here. I dropped off my prs for some repairs. Got it back playing really good and sounding great. Howie was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I definitely feel I was treated like a ROCKSTAR!

took a new guitar to howie for set-up as it was pretty rough from the factory...just picked up, and wow! what a difference! he needed to adjust virtually everything to get the intonation and action right including bridge and saddle work...new strings (wound correctly on the locking tuners) finished off the set-up...just played it for an hour and it feels awesome...it is a great little shop with a really cool vibe...reminds me of my old hometown guitar shop from the 70s...if you need guitar work, howie is your guy!

Recently purchased a Martin and wanted to have it looked at/professionally setup. I felt the action was a little high for my liking. Brought it in to guitar Haven and was told that the guitar did not need any work just yet. Howie advised me to hold off when he could have just made an extra couple dollars. That's the type of honesty and integrity that should be found in a luthier! I will definitely be bringing all my guitars here for my luthier needs!!! Thanks again Howie!

Brought in my PRS with a bad crack near the headstock...Howie did a outstanding job on the repair...when playing you cannot feel the crack at all..neck is smooth. I also had him do a restring and setup on the guitar. Love how it plays and feels. I highly recommend Guitar Haven for all your local guitar needs. Howie and his brother are friendly and knowledgeable with all things music! Rock on!

Had may Larrivee adjusted here, refreshingly renewed. Great advice on how to continue caring for my guitar. Friendly service, extremely knowledgeable. I didn't realize this is basically the same folks that were downtown all of those years, I had really missed them. Planning to come back soon for additional things done on my other guitars.

Went there because my bass needed saudering done, and they had it finished within an hour, excellent service, highly recommend coming here if you have any issues with guitars.

I dropped my pride and joy PRS for its first service in 15 years. I left it in the hands of Howie, their guitar tech, on a Wednesday afternoon just before closing. I received a phone call the next early afternoon that it would be ready for pickup. I can’t remember my guitar playing ever so well. Excellent service, reasonable and fair pricing, and VERY knowledgeable staff. An A+ experience in every way.

Took lessons here for 4 years with Tony, who is the best instructor you can possibly imagine. Howie, the guy who runs the place, has sold me lots of amazing guitars, and I always appreciate that he keeps me in mind when he gets a new one into the shop. I really miss the old store in Downtown Melbs, but I wish these guys the best for years to come. Thanks for all the great memories guys!

Good selection of gear that always changes. Very good lessons. Very good repairs. Recently I traded in a fine 2012 Gibson SG for a 2002 Gibson Studio in gloss black. I am very happy with the whole exchange. And with an ailing Cort accoustic gathering dust I decided to let Howie bring it back to life. He installed a Fishman pre-amp which immediately brought me into the 21st Century. It is now a favorite player equal to my Martin imo, I am not joking. This instrument did not get a single hit on CL a couple of years ago! Customer service is attentive. No pressure sales.

They added Electronics to an old acoustic guitar for me.
The sound that guitar makes now, it's really impressive.
I couldn't be happier.

The best musicians in town all go here planning on getting some more work done to my guitar, love this place.
By the way if you want to keep the convenience of a great music store still around please come and do business with these wonderful people that are totally fair on their prices.

Guitar Haven, treated us like Family! Bought my Son guitar/amp, so pleased with this place, and we are from Oklahoma! Awesome people!

Great place to go for your stringed instrument needs. Howie is the man when it comes to setting up instruments, and can get whatever you'd need or want if it's not in the shop. I'd highly recommend coming here to anyone I meet.

Enjoying piano lessons from Tony Sams at Guitar Haven for the past few months. Tony is an awesome instructor, makes learning to read music and learning the keys all seem so easy and I look forward to every lesson. Great prices, busy place and if Tony is exemplary of their instructors I would highly recommend Guitar Haven for all your music needs.

Very professional personel. I went there to repair a puertorican cuatro because everywhere I went before told me it was beyond repair. They took their time but when finished it was just like new and the sound was perfect, my son is using it and loved it.
