Danny’s Guitar Shop

Danny was so knowledgable and helpful — and created such a comfortable environment for me to find the right fit… love his perspective and guidance. And… just bought my first electric guitar here! Love this shop and can’t wait to visit again :)

I am very new to playing guitars: I literally picked my first one up last week at Danny’s. I am very glad I did, because I got some great recommendations, tips, and ended up with an acoustic I liked a lot without dishing out too much dough. The service was great and I definitely plan to return for lessons, buying more guitars, etc.

Danny’s Guitar Shop is a great place to get not just guitars, but bass guitars, ukuleles, tuners, picks, strings, and more. It also offers guitar, bass, ukulele, and vocal lessons at a reasonable price. Even if you’re not looking to buy anything, it’s a good place to sell your used instruments and amplifiers. Last but not least, the owner, Danny Gold, is an incredibly kind, funny, and personable guy who knows everything there is to know about what he sells. The teachers are very knowledgeable and kind as well. This really is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for a great musical instrument store with a friendly environment and nice people. 5 out of 5!

Ukuleles are the underdog of the stringed instrument world, but I’ve wanted one for awhile, especially since tiny girls with long-​time musical aspirations really can’t play cello without looking overwhelmed, and piano and violin are SO stereotypical. So ukulele it was, especially since a wise friend thought I’d pick it up much easier than guitar or bass. So.
I was super concerned about paying too much for a POS instrument, so I had the same wise friend price me out some ukes, and I google-​found my way to Danny’s Guitar Shop. It’s an incredibly un-​intimidating store crammed with musical instruments everywhere, so be sure not to trip as you sheepishly creep in trying to look like you know what you’re doing. At the time, Danny himself greeted me hello but he was busy chattin’ up guitars with another guy, so I poked around myself and found the ukes in the corner.
After awhile, Danny came over to give me a quick, non-​condescending rundown of the ukes he had. After I admitted I was a beginner who didn’t want to spend a lot of cash, he asked me for my price range and then recommended me a handful of ukes I could afford, all priced similarly to what my friend had seen in other places. No pressure to buy on the spot though — he gave me some alone time to get comfortable with the ukes he’d taken off the shelf, saying, «It’s gotta feel right in your hands.» Aww.
I had worried that I was going to leave feeling royally uncomfortable with an expensive ukulele, but a) I LOVE my concert ukulele and it didn’t hurt my wallet at all, and b) Danny made the whole experience so down-​to-​earth and pleasant that I have no regrets about my purchase. Having strummed the strings on this uke half to death already, I might be back soon!

What a great «find» this store was today!
We had a family day, and went to Narberth for lunch & a movie. Getting through lunch early & with time to kill we decided to take a stroll through downtown Narberth, when we happened upon «Danny’s»
This was truly a great find! Danny’s opened it’s doors pretty recently, but you would never know it! Lot’s of exceptional stringed instruments at price points that are surprisingly fair! I’m a former bassist and my son is a new guitar player, so it is not uncommon for us to stop by the «big box» stores, and in most cases we leave with more questions than answers. When purchasing my son’s first instrument, at a big box store, it took way too long to find one that he REALLY liked, at a price that I could deal with. It was all the same stuff, with nothing interersting unless you had just won the lottery!
Not the case here! Both son & I fell in love immediately! More important, we had the chance to chat with Danny, who is truly an expert, as he has been involved in the business on a different level for most of his working life! He is also a musician who knows the difference, and unlike the people in box stores, is willing to opine.
This personal service is very appreciated, as you just dont get it in the box stores.
The store is very neat, clean and comfortable, lots of eye candy on the walls. Guitars, great gifts and guitar related stuff that music people like. Cool stuff that is very giftable.
The bottom line here is: We walked out with two new guitars and have no regrets or remorse. This will be the place we will go whenever we need a fix (or not!)!! Danny’s ROCKS!
Sorry to cut the review short, I have to go jam with my boy some more! Thanks Danny!
