South Shore Guitar Boutique is a shop in Long Island, New York, dedicated to showcasing the best guitar, amplifier, and effects pedal builders from around the world, as well as providing an intimate and comfortable place for musicians to experience and purchase these rare and unique instruments. Think of us as a rotating gallery of fine handcrafted instruments. When you visit our store, you will be able to discuss gear with like-minded, knowledgeable individuals, who can steer you toward the instrument and tone of your dreams.

Our shop was born from a life-long love and fascination for vintage and handmade guitars and gear. We handpick each of our products with an emphasis on craftsmanship, quality, and environmental sustainability. While big-box music stores stock mostly run-of-the-mill, mass-produced products, we search the world for the most awe-inspiring, tonally pleasing, great playing, and meticulously built guitars, amplifiers and effect pedals and bring them directly to you. We understand that each player has their own distinct playing style and expression, and it is our goal to satisfy even the most sophisticated and demanding musician. We are musicians ourselves and understand the importance of first impressions when it comes to buying gear. If we wouldn't play it, we won't put it in our shop. Every guitar we sell must play its absolute best. We are proud to be dealers of Mirabella Guitars as well as Ronin Guitars. Master Luthiers Cristian Mirabella or Izzy Lugo of Ronin Guitars sets up every used/vintage guitar that passes thru our shop when it is deemed necessary We also carry a wide range of boutique and other high-quality accessories, making S.S.G.B. your go-to shop for strings, guitar cases, straps, cables, pedal-boards, custom pedal-board builds and more. We’re always adding new products from world-class and forward-thinking companies and builders to our store; so keep an eye on our website and subscribe to our mailing list for updates. Visit our store during regular hours or book a private demo, and come experience a guitar and gear buying experience unlike any other other at South Shore Guitar Boutique. [email protected]
