Guitar Fixation has written a great review on our shop recently. Check it out on their website! It’s been an honor to have such a write-up and we would like to share an excerpt from it:
“The shop is as close as you can get to guitar heaven. Not only do they carry nearly every guitar that you can imagine, but the store also has a very comfortable and relaxed vibe to it. From the sheer size of the space to the comfortable sofas that are everywhere – this place redefines the guitar shopping experience.”

Over the past weekend here at Chicago Music Exchange, we have been visited by some great musicians and bands. We would like to thank each and every one of them for taking the time out of their busy schedule and checking out our store. It was a big weekend for Chicago as Lollapalooza was hosted in Grant Park. Many of the acts paid us a visit and purchased some amazing instruments. We hope you all had a wonderful experience.
Thank-You.

Does your favorite guitar need a little TLC?
Do you have some old gear that could use some repair?
Our guitar techs specialize in everything from set-ups to full vintage restoration. We are experts at fret leveling/replacement, neck resets, high-end woodworking, electronics repairs and customer modifications. Broken acoustic braces or even major reconstruction is not a problem. Superior pickup replacement or re-wiring and expert body work is also part of what we do.
Our electronics tech will breathe new life into dead gear. We specialize in tube and solid state guitar amps, but also service pro audio, effects pedals, and most consumer electronics. We can restore and repair almost any tube or solid state guitar and bass amplifiers. We strive to preserve the authenticity of the amplifiers, while restoring them to their proper working condition. Your amps will sound like they were intended to sound (maybe for the first time!).
In addition to amps, we also repair most pro audio including mixing consoles, power amps, mic preamps, compressors, effects units and just about any other type of analog musical equipment.
If it’s broken, we can fix it!
