Guitars To Be Played — Local services in Nashville-Davidson

Best guitar shop in the world.

Nashville is home to some of the best guitar shops in the world, and among them Guitars To Be Played is one of the best.

Their selection of rare premium guitars is something to behold. Living in Florida, there are no guitar shops that provide the selection of electric guitars that Nashville has to offer. And when you plan on spending $1,000+ for a guitar, you want to get your hands on it before buying.

I was looking for an ESP. Their ESP selection is incredible, from entry level to ultra-premium custom guitars.

Cam, their residential expert on ESPs, was incredible. So generous with his time. He sat me down and handed me guitar after guitar, letting me feel and compare models side by side. He gave me plenty of time to feel it out—I must’ve been there for 3 hours.

I’d never felt so welcome in a guitar shop and so patiently tended to.

I wasn’t sure I was going to walk out with a guitar that day… but because the experience was so helpful, and I was given the time to really feel into my decision, I was able to walk out with my dream guitar.

They shipped it back to Florida at no cost, and no tax—which blew my mind. It arrived in less than 72 hours and was waiting for me when I got home.

Best guitar purchasing experience of my life. I will seriously consider flying back to Nashville just to get my hands on some of these legendary guitars before I buy...

So I have been browsing for a new guitar for the past few weeks and found the one I wanted. Unfortunately most all big guitar companies had this particular one all sold out. Happen to stumble upon the guitar I wanted through Reverb, but it was being sold by guitars to be played.

I went through guitars to be played website to actually find out if the guitar was actually in stock and placed the order through the actual company. There was a little bit of a hiccup in the ordering process, but customer service was absolutely on point! They helped me get it all sorted out and even offered a next day air option with extra shipping cost. Let’s just say. I ordered the guitar roughly around lunch time 12pm est. It was at my door step at 830am next day. I was blown away, by the shipping turn around.

Then once I got the guitar out of the box, it was flawless. It was set up perfectly, it was just a tad bit out of tune, but not by much, but that is perfectly normal because of Shipping. The guitar plays great, and sounds fantastic. I am very happy with the purchase. But most importantly very happy with the customer service. Definitely got a new customer in me....

What a wonderful discovery. I found Guitars To Be Played on Reverb while searching for a left handed ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo on a Google search. This is an exceptional musical instrument. It's also impossible to find during the pandemic. Other musical retailers have been told by ESP that the earliest delivery is March 2022, but more likely it will be May. I was thrilled to discover that owner Josh Ingram had a lefty IN STOCK!! I think it was probably the last lefty available for immediate sale in the country. Josh answered all of my questions and shipped the guitar. I received it 3 days later. It was well packaged and even included an ESP tee shirt. I am totally satisfied with the dealer and the guitar. What a brilliant concept. I can now instantly switch from magnetic to Piezo and also play both simultaneously in live performance. It's the best Piezo reproduction I have heard, including Piezo pickups on actual acoustic guitars. Thank you Josh for making me a happy...
