Refurbished Guitars
When you pick up one of our guitars, you’ll immediately feel the difference and recognize the craft, care, and precision we put into each instrument during our refurbishment process. With unique guitars incoming daily, there's always something new to see.

Guitar Parts
We know better than anyone how different the ‘same’ guitar can feel and sound so different. In our shop, you can actually see, hear, and feel the difference. With our parts bar, you’ll find everything you need to customize your instrument.
-
Coffee Bar & Lounge
While other shops are focused on moving inventory and moving you out of the store, we are here to foster community. So, grab a coffee and hang around for a while. Our space is more than a store – it’s a space for learning, sharing, collecting, and connecting with fellow musicians and modders.

On-site Technicians
MIRC’s skilled technicians are on-site refurbishing guitars, providing a glimpse into the process that we’ve been honing since the ‘90s to keep thousands of guitars out of landfills and in the hands of players every year. Our technicians are not only trained through our intensive apprenticeship program but also musicians themselves. Our team can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

From the players who hang out here
“I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
The guitar came perfectly set up. It’s one of the most comfortable necks I’ve ever played. I also love the bridge design with the compensated brass saddles. Overall, this is easily one of the best guitars I’ve ever owned.”
