Designed by musicians, for musicians

If you're familiar with our parent company, MIRC, then you know we’ve been saving guitars and parts from landfills for the past 30+ years. We give great guitars new lives by refurbishing and reselling through retail shops across the country and our online store, Franklin Guitar Works.

Now, for the first time, you can look and feel for the right neck, bridge, pickup, and specialty parts for your mod project right here in Nashville. You can pick up and play our guitars sourced directly from manufacturers and refurbished with care.

We opened 8th Avenue so you can feel and see the difference in our refurbished guitars.

We know better than anyone how different every guitar and part can feel and sound – even if they’re the same. Our refurbishment process sets us apart from the rest of our industry. From the unique inventory to the heart and soul that our technicians pour into each instrument, each experience with any of our instruments is one-of-a-kind.

From the players who hang out here

“If you are going to buy a guitar, any guitar – these are the ONLY people you need to deal with…

FAIR and HONEST, it was a PLEASURE to deal with them! I will buy more from them.”

— James G.

Every guitar, part, and technician at 8th Avenue Guitar Works is part of our bigger mission at MIRC–

to keep as many guitars as possible out of landfills and in the hands of players.

For more than three decades, MIRC, LLC has built a reputation for scale, trust, and professionalism in the secondary and refurbished guitar market. We refurbish over 30,000 guitars from over 150 brands every single year.

About MIRC LLC
High Volume, High Standards

We’re continuously scaling our repair and resale operations to handle tens of thousands of instruments each year without compromising quality and care.
Giving Great Guitars New Lives

Without a refurbishment partner guitar manufacturers can trust – broken, damaged, and overstock instruments end up in landfills. We offer a sustainable alternative to destruction and putting those instruments back into the hands of musicians.
Craftsmanship You Can Count On

We’ve been honing our craft since the ‘90s. Every one of our techs is not only highly trained through our intensive apprenticeship program, they’re also musicians. They know how exactly an instrument should feel and sound.
