What do Ray Davies of the Kinks, Peter Tork of The Monkees, Russell Crowe, Stone Temple Pilots, The Wurms, Steve Lee and Ed of 20th Street, Nick Nolte, and Jackson Browne have in common? They have all shopped at Pittsburgh Guitars, established in 1979, a locally owned music store on the Historic South Side of Pittsburgh.
Owned by guitarist and guitar-enthusiast John Bechtold, and staffed by musicians, Pittsburgh Guitars is the city's premiere guitar shop. Buying, selling, and trading, we offer a wide selection of vintage, used, and new guitars, basses, and amplifiers, as well as a variety of other stringed instruments and accessories. We have a full-time, on-site repair man, and we offer amp repairs, and individual, private lessons as well.
Shipping Policy
We ship UPS Ground in the US, unless otherwise requested, with a signature required for release. The customer is responsible for all shipping/insurance charges. Shipping charges are non-refundable. If a "Free Shipping" item is returned, the refund total will be minus the original shipping cost.
We pack every instrument we ship safely and securely, and have never had an instrument damaged in shipping. However, we realize that anything is possible. Insurance claims are the responsibility of the customer, but we'll be happy to help you with any claims.

We provide a 24-hour approval period for every guitar or bass we ship. You will have 24 hours from the receipt of any instrument shipped to you to let us know, via email or phone, that you're sending it back. Please save the packing materials so you can ship it back in the same box.
All return shipping and full insurance costs are the customer's responsibility. We will issue a refund for the purchase price of the item, minus shipping costs and a 6% restocking fee, once the instrument or item is returned to us in the condition in which it was shipped.
