Way back in 1969 The Guitar Workshop, as it was called then, was opened by the late John Ellis. It was in the basement of a building on Eddy Street in the College Town neighborhood of East Hill near Cornell University here in Ithaca, New York. Many of our customers still remember that shop fondly and the incomparable Mr. Ellis. Meanwhile in 1971 architect William Downing bought and converted the old Ithaca High School into shops, restaurants, small businesses, offices and apartments. This four story brick castle like structure, was originally designed by famed Architect William Henry Miller and built in 1915.

Crafted to deliver the ultimate playing experience, the Builder's Edition K24ce blends a refined, ergonomic playing experience with premium tonewoods and a textured, vibrant acoustic sound. Solid Hawaiian koa forms the back, sides and top of this Grand Auditorium acoustic-electric, generating a bold, articulate midrange with splashy refined trebles and warmth in the low end.
If you're a beginning guitar player, the best choice you can make is getting a guitar with a sound and feel that will inspire you to keep playing. The CD-60 is a genuine Fender that is affordable and provides nicely balanced tone and plenty of volume thanks to its dreadnought body style and spruce top with scalloped "X"-bracing.
Meet the M-240E, a small-body addition to Guild's acoustic archback line. The M-240E is an homage to Guild's F-20, a small-bodied wonder that became popular during the folk era of the 60's. This petite guitar is ideal for fingerstyle playing and light strumming. The reduced size is excellent for smaller players or musicians looking for a great sounding travel guitar.

I started taking guitar lessons in January 2016 and I'm still taking lessons. I love the the atmosphere of Guitar works. Never a dull moment I say! From the owner Kevin, my guitar teacher Mark and sales staff, thank you, you have made me feel like I've been a coming around since I was kid. It's only been 6 years, and I'm going to be 69 in a month! LOL! Part of the Guitarworks family, that's the difference! If you love music become part of the family!

Easily the best shop I've been to. I started trading at Guitar Works in the 90s. The shop in my town was terrible, so it was well worth the drive. I recently started up with guitar again after a long hiatus. While the decor changed somewhat, it was still the same great shop, and even some of the same people. The staff is friendly and helpful. I never feel like I'm being "sold" on something.
My first new guitar there was actually well below the budget, because they listened to what I wanted and made really solid suggestions on things to try. Like I said, it's easily the best shop I've been to.

A really good music store for service. They have always been good to me over the years with lessons and getting gear. Kevin has always been there to help me find the right gear and cables I need. You won't find this good of customer service at the competitors. The prices are usually pretty competitive. If he doesn't have he can get it pretty quickly for you. Support your local shops.
