I rented a speaker and mic system for my outdoor wedding reception here and it was incredible! Great service, great equipment, affordable price ✅ they were very prompt and willing to work with my pick up/drop off schedule.

I needed just a small amount of guitar wire for a non-musical project. They kindly gave me a scrap piece of wire (and even replaced it when I lost it on the way home). They wouldn't take any money for it. I wish I had a reason to support them financially, but happy to offer an excellent review. They gave me the kind of personal service I couldn't get at a national chain store.

Everybody here is very friendly and great to work with. If you are thinking of getting work done on your instrument bring it here and support this local business! These guys deserve your business and I personally won't be going anywhere else for anything guitar related.

Wow! The people at this store are amazing. I special ordered a guitar for Christmas. Through no fault of their own, the shipment didn’t arrive before Christmas (it was totally on the shipping company). Instead of just saying sorry it didn’t come, Murphy’s Guitars went out of their way to make sure I had a guitar for my son for Christmas. They even offered a significantly more expensive guitar for the price I paid. My son was thrilled with the guitar and so exited to play all day on Christmas. I’ll forever be a Murphy’s Guitar customer from now on. Thank you so much Talon, Aaron, & everyone else. You saved Christmas!

Had my ‘91 Pedulla fingerboard refinished here by Ray. The work that was done exceeded all expectations. Very friendly staff as well. I would highly recommend their repair services to anyone. It may not be the fastest but Ray is an artist who does the highest quality work of anyone in Utah.

This shop is awesome! Friendly and super helpful staff. They're laid back, but still professional. Unlike some guitar shops, they won't be condescending and won't be pushy. They will listen to you well and give great advice if you want to pick their brain about something.I recently took in a guitar that I've owned for almost 20 years but haven't played for a long time because it had a poor set-up by another shop a few years ago and a bad bridge. Store rep Kellen and the owner Aaron listened to my needs and recommended a Floyd Rose Trem that would work perfectly for my guitar. Their luthier/tech Ray installed the bridge and locking nut, and did a full set-up. He absolutely nailed it! It plays wonderfully once again, low action, intonated perfectly (I checked), pristinely cleaned, and he went the extra mile with some other cosmetic details to make the installation look really clean. Just a really thorough job. I'm so glad this guitar is back in the rotation for me! Can't thank Murphy's Guitars enough!

Great customer service, they don't lock up their guitars and make you beg to play them like at other places.

This is a great place to take your guitar if you need some work done to it. I brought in my electric guitar to replace the pickups, tremolo, and strings, and their luthier did a fantastic job. They might not want me to say this given how much of a hassle my project was, but they installed a Sustainiac Stealth Pro as well as routed in a battery box, and they really did a nice job. Originally, I took the guitar to another luthier, but they referred me to Murphy's Guitars because they said the luthier here is among the very best. I highly recommend Murphy's Guitars for any work you need.

Brought my badly damaged Martin guitar to Murphy’s just hoping for the best and was beyond pleasantly surprised. The luthier Ray was knowledgable and confident he could repair it and he did a terrific job. The staff and owner Aaron were a pleasure to work with and honest throughout the process. Murphy’s is the real deal. Well worth a visit!

These guys are great. When it comes to getting work done on your guitar, this is definitely the place to go. They did an excellent job resetting up my Stratocaster after I had completely taken it apart to refinish it. It plays wonderfully after their setup. The workers are super knowledgeable and willing to talk about guitars and effects in a way you won’t get at a big box center of guitars. Highly recommended.

Kellan at Murphys Guitars is awesome. He helped me out with my acoustic, and restringing my electric LTD. Ive only been playing for a couple months now, but everytime i come in with a technical issue on my instrument, Kellan not only helps me fix it, he is awesome at recommending products that i didnt think about because im a rookie. As well, everytime ive been in the store to shop, i usually have a couple random music or maintenance questions, and Kellan has always delivered help to my satisfaction. He's a professional guitarist, but i never feel any judgement when ive got ignorant questions or problems. He is single-handedly the reason I'll be back to shop. As well, the manager is awesome. I needed a new jack which was going to take a couple of days due to other customers being ahead of me, but the manager took my guitar, sold me a superior jack and installed it himself, all in that same 20 minutes i was in the store. They help me out with anything, whether or not im buying anything at the time. Their service is even top notch over the phone. What a great joint they are running over there.

Mason was very knowledgeable and opened my eyes to my possibilities! I came 15 minutes before closing and he helped me pick out my amp and told me all about pedal and other equipment. He stayed 35 minutes after closing which was above and beyond. So awesome. That’s when I saw a lot of adults walk in to have jam sessions. I stayed and listened and got a feel for what a rehearsal is like. I plan on joining their group and making music real soon. Check out @utahjambands on Instagram. Thanks to Richard and Devin for letting me sit in tonight. It was a lot of fun!

Murphy's is a breath of fresh air in the guitar shop industry. I've been playing guitar for 14 years and I've seen it all; pushy sales people, marked up trash gear, ultra long wait times for repairs, elitism because you "don't know how it was back in the day" or you dont play jazz or whatever the color of the day is. Murphy's rights all those wrongs. The staff is nonintimidating, knowledgeable, and super helpful. The selection of gear is all high quality, even their beginner gear is quality stuff that will last most people into their intermediate phase. Their customer service is the best. A great example of this happened recently, I made the mistake of buying a guitar from a large distributor whose name rhymes with Sitar Renter. I then had Sitar Renter do a setup on the guitar, in which I was notified that the guitar was warped, but they would not be replacing it because it was out of the grace period and I had not bought the extended warranty. I was pretty sad that Sitar Renter had effectively sold me an expensive wall ornament. I brought it in to Murphy's for a second opinion. They inspected the guitar, made some adjustments, and fixed it on the spot free of charge. No wait time, no long list of pricy repairs, no push to just buy a new guitar off the wall. Just awesome, honest, knowledgeable customer service.There are so many of other great things I could say about this place, but really you have to check it out for yourself.

Really impressed with the people at Murphys. Mason spent a lot of time answering my questions and helping me get set up, without being pushy. It was clear that the staff cares about creating the kind of experience that makes shopping local so much more enjoyable than going to a big box store.

I recently took my Les Paul to Murphy's for an overhaul and neck adjustment. When I got home and checked it out I was absolutely stunned. In all of my almost 30 years of playing guitars, I have never played a better aligned guitar, ever. The Murphy's guitar tech blew the Gibson custom shop guys out of the water. Even if I'd move to Alaska, I would ship my guitars to Bountiful to get worked on. This guitar tech is in a class of his own. Thank you guys!

They repair the frets in one of my guitars I got from my parents. The guitar came from Brazil, so I was worried it would be hard to fix, but that was not a problem for them. Got the guitar today, and it feels awesome to play!

All of my interactions at Murphy's have been great (no relation, btw 😉). I've bought everything here from picks to a guitar and everything in-between. I love going in and just checking out what they have in stock and they are always great to chat and answer questions, even over the phone. And I always have plenty of questions.I went in one time to just buy strings but asked their opinions on an amp I was going to buy used off KSL. They were happy to chat about it and listened to what I was after and ended up giving me an amazing recommendation for a Line 6 Catalyst. I hadn't ever heard of it but researched it a bunch and then pulled the trigger. I love it!There are about half a dozen folks that I see in there at different times and they are all great to work with. They're just easy to talk to. They want you to have a great experience without feeling any pressure, which is really important to me.

I was a little/a lot nervous to come in to such a specialized store because my guitar is pretty old and basic and I’m like a beginner-beginner. I’ve always found my guitar to be painful to play even with consistent practice (but I also always wondered if maybe I’m just a wimp). I finally brought it in to Murphy’s to see if some new strings might help. The guy working there on Saturday (sorry I didn’t get his name!) was really fun and personable and knowledgeable without being snobby and offered a few suggestions/options to address my issues. The turnaround was well within the timeframe I was given, and my guitar is now so much more comfortable to play. I can hardly believe it’s the same instrument! I’m really excited to start learning it (again) and wanted to say thanks for such a positive experience.

I could not have asked for a better experience at Murphy's! I heard that Ray had started working in their shop recently, so I swung by to have one of my guitars setup. After getting her back in less than a week, I don't know if she's ever sounded better! For a bit of a finicky instrument, I was astounded with the intonation. I was so impressed with their work that I immediately brought back two more guitars and received some excellent assistance from Kellen. The staff at Murphy's was fun, knowledgeable, immensely helpful, and has insured that I will be returning for all of my future instrument maintenance!

Excellent treatment, bought a great EVH guitar and they replaced the strings for free plus a discount on a soft case. A month before they also fixed the 5 way selector and tuned up my 93 Fender Strat... I have blisters on my fingers!

I have a really nice Breedlove acoustic/electric ukulele that had been making a terrible buzzing sound like it was plugged in and set on 'distortion', even when being played acoustically. That caused me never to want to play the beautiful instrument. I had a couple of friends look at it, but no one knew what was wrong.I kept thinking of a good experience I had previously at Murphy's, and even though it is a significant distance from my home, decided to take it there.Kellen took a look at it and in less than 5 minutes had the problem correctly diagnosed... And FIXED! I could not have been more thrilled!Kellen was not only knowledgeable and skilled, but also kind and a delight to talk with. I already thanked God for helping me know where to go. Now I want to give a BIG "Thanks!" to Kellen for his help and a great experience!

Thank you Aaron and Ray for the great job on the 1992 Gibson Hummingbird repair for my friend Leland. Lee is 92 years old and plays every day. This Guitar is his pride and joy. He was quite distraught when the crack appeared. Thank you for putting it back together and making it look amazing! Lee sends his profound thanks and gratitude for your excellent work. He plans on playing this guitar at least tell he reaches 100 years old. He still drives and just bought a new car. He has more energy than I’ve ever seen in someone his age. Thanks again!

Wonderful experience! Kellen was extremely helpful and to call him "knowledgeable" would be an understantment. He knew everything about everything from instruments to amps! Music stores can be intimidating, but Kellen and the staff at Murphy's were incredibly kind and more than willing to take the time to talk to me about what exactly I was looking for in a new instrument. I now own my dream guitar, its literally perfect. I couldnt be more pleased. Thank you to Kellen and the dedicated passionate staff at Murphys for all your help.

This was my first visit in about 10 years. I love that upon walking up the windows are lit and full of everything awesome. It gets me wanting to play a guitar before I even get inside. I was greeted with a chorus of "Hello! How are you's?" I was immediately waited on when I went to the cash register. For a smaller shop, they can fit a big selection of guitars and amps in there. I liked the fact that they were into talking guitars with me and caught me up on some new gear I hadn't heard of. I never felt talked down to or that they were TRYING to make a sale. Just lovers of the instrument such as I. They seemed to have reasonable prices and I got a great deal on a three pack of strings. I will be spending more time and money in this store without a doubt. Nice to know there are stores like this jewel making the world a better place.

***FIXED OUR GUITAR ***My brothers Teton Guitar fell and broke (along with his heart). This guitar meant so much to him and was a dear companion through some tough times. Due to the nature of the break, we thought it was hopeless.I took it into Murphy’s and they said they could fix it. They worked diligently and fixed this beloved guitar! Not only that, they gathered the little chips or veneer and glued them on perfectly to hide the scars.When it came to pay, I was surprised at how reasonable it was for me. We left a tip and felt like we got the deal of the century.Thank you thank you

I have been shopping with these guys for years. They are amazing! Within the last 2 years I have bought 2 guitars from them. The guys at the shop have always taken care of me. They were so patient with me as I went in every month to think about what to buy. After buying the guitars, each have needed some adjustments (as most guitars do). And they made the simple adjustments on the spot to get my guitars sounding great again! Prices are always competitive or better then others and the customer service has been top notch. When you buy here you are supporting a local business who goes out of their way to earn your business!

Murphy's Guitars is probably my favorite place to get music equipment. All the guys that work there are fantastic and can tell you all about all the instruments that they have there and get you an instrument that fits what you're looking for! Every time I go in there hasn't been one time where I haven't been helped and had all my questions answered. Also I've heard that their lessons are fantastic!
Hannah V.
00:28 07 Jul 20
Fantastic service! The fellow who helped me was friendly and knowledgeable as he answered all my questions, but my transaction, while incredibly pleasant, was pretty straightforward and unremarkable (just in for strings and a practice amp). More impressive was watching one of the workers run to catch the lady before me on her way out of the store. He had spotted a defect on the back/bottom edge of the acoustic guitar she was buying that she hadn't noticed. They made sure she left with a different one of the same model that wasn't damaged. I've had experience dealing with plenty of shadier shops before this one that would have been glad to be rid of a defected instrument. I will absolutely be returning to Murphy's for all my gear needs in the future.
