The best guitar parts store I've ever seen in my life and everybody there is very knowledgeable and helpful

A store jam-packed and well-organized store with excellent products related to guitars, guitar modifications, and building. Great staff.

Kudos to Solo Guitars on a job well done!
I was very pleased with the installation of a Gotoh bridge installed on my LP Custom, by Padraig Corrigan with courteous professionalism and expertise, in a reasonable turn around time.

The service from Solo has been great. I run a small guitar repair shop and getting parts quickly is important. A couple days after I order parts they are at my shop. Thanks Solo, keep up the good work.

Great prices on Luthier supplies, an alternative to StewMacs inflated prices. Best of all, their Customer Service is second to none! You call, they fix, Period!
Thanks again,
Mike

Solo has done the electronics on several of my guitars and always optimal work and results at very competitive prices. The staff are all very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. It's worth the drive to Solo.

Great service.
Fast, efficient, knowledge, skilled & with pride in the work.
Will buy products & services from SOLO Music again.

I made a couple of recent small orders from Solo Music Gear and I am very impressed with the speed which the items arrived. In both cases, the orders shipped out the same day and arrived the following day. I think this store is a much more affordable alternative to Stew Mac for Canadian customers!

This place is the stu Mac of Canada if you live in the GTA and needs parts or anything guitar this is the place …. Tools etc

Scott and the guys are amazing! I have made several purchases from them and plan to make more. They are very professional and have the absolute fastest delivery I have ever had. They sell top line products at very competitive prices! They are my go to store from now on. Many thanks to Scott and the crew for there excellent and knowledgeable service! Steve B

Solo Music Gear is simply outstanding! As an avid musician and gear enthusiast, I can confidently say that I always turn to Solo for my parts and equipment needs. They have an incredible selection of high-quality parts and kits that are unmatched by any other supplier I've come across.

What really sets Solo apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Every time I shop there, I'm always impressed by their world-class customer service. On my last visit, Dave helped me out and was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. It's clear that Solo values their customers and will go above and beyond to make sure they are happy with their purchases.

Whether you're an experienced builder or just starting out, Solo has everything you need to build the perfect instrument. Their brand name parts are top-notch, and their kits are a great way to get started on a new project. I've been shopping at Solo for years now, and I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a fantastic supplier, and I know that I'll be a customer for life. I highly recommend Solo Music Gear to any musician or gear enthusiast looking for top-quality parts and equipment.

Thanks Arra, thanks Dave!

Nice guitar shop. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. They carry a huge selection of parts from screws and strings to pickups and guitar kits. Plus everything in between and all the stuff you don’t think about.

This place is a hidden gem in the GTA. An absolute candy store for guitar parts. Friendly techs and quick service as well!

Friendly and helpful staff.
I went in to get my guitar and amp to make sure everything was working fine.

I order from the website frequently. Always lots of stock on guitar & bass parts or if it’s out it comes in real fast.thank you solo I appreciate you!

I had Padraig install a couple of pickups and 4 way switch in my Telecaster and I couldn’t be happier. The work done was excellent and a great price too! Highly recommended.

Great store, awesome selection of parts! Staff is super helpful and best part is that their shipping charges are so reasonable. Thanks!

Wonderful store and great people. If you need anything guitar building or hardware related, they'll have it.

There is also a 'bargin bin' of prefab bodies and necks that weren't perfect enough for their kits. The 'defects' are miniscule on most parts - I was able to pick up a Les Paul style body for $50 with a slight crack in the back that will be easy to fill and make unnoticeable. Furthermore, there are warped necks, fully completed with frets and bindings, available for $5. They market them as necks to practice techniques on, but I found one that only needs slight reprofiling to go with the aforementioned body.

Their website does not give the store justice, they have EVERYTHING, and should they do not have what you need, the helpful staff will be able to provide alternatives.

I was completely blown away by them - Dave helped us find what we came for, and even suggested some building tips. 10/10 - can't suggest these guys enough.

This guys are honest, skilled, and a pleasure to deal with. Their prices are fair and they know their stuff. Highly recommend.

Excellent company to deal with. Fast on orders. Very helpful staff all around. Thank you guys be safe. James marien.

Had pickups installed and a setup done on one of my guitars. They did an amazing job on it! It's my best playing guitar now!

The guitar tech is very friendly and knowledgeable, with great quality of work. Quick turnaround as well!

I ordered 2 Seymour duncan strat pick ups. Later I added stuff to the order by phone. They were able to fill my special request, got everything as promised, all in good condition. Will use them again.

Great room, great people.crazy amount of stock in the showroom! Not just kit guitars. Their selection of strings and aftermarket pickups is 100% worth the drive from Clarington. I Will be returning.

I've dealt with Solo twice so far and had great experiences both times. The first was for a case, I had questions about it and they answered promptly and then the item came quickly. The second was about the DIY kits, I had a lot of questions on the phone and they took their time to answer them, I didn't feel rushed at all. Will keep using them, I recommend for their great service.

The people at Solo Guitars are true guitar enthusiasts who are great not only at their craft, but also at customer service. I brought in an old 90s era Clapton Strat for a setup and some repairs after more than a decade of sitting in my furnace room, and Padraig was so excited about it, explaining that this is one of his favourite guitars. He took the time to answer all my questions and explained everything he was going to do. He had it ready for me in less than 5 days.

I also recently had an acoustic guitar setup at a local guitar shop (since it was still under warranty and entitled to a free set up), and the experience could not have been more different. It took 3 weeks, and I had no chance to discuss anything with the luthier either before or after the setup. I had some concerns that the action was too high after the setup, and the folks at Solo took a look at the guitar to ease my mind and even made a minor adjustment on the spot at no cost!

Keep up the great work!

This is a fantastic place. Beautiful showroom with all the guitar parts you can imagine as well as many that you can't. Very friendly and welcoming staff. I felt like a kid in a candy store.

(Their online service is also great.)

I had some work done on my guitar, swapped pickups and a set up. Solo did a great job and the price was reasonable!
You really need to visit the store and see how much they have on display. Parts of all kinds, bodies, necks, bridges, and staff who know how to answer your questions.
Don't visit the usual franchise for your needs, stop in and speak to the guys at Solo.

Lockdown ended months ago. We all wear masks and socially distance. This is the only guitar shop that is still closed. Neat, you have curbside pickup, so does every other shop, but those places allow customers to see what their buying before they buy it, Because the government has allowed retail store to open for months now. Unless they open the store to the public, don't bother with this place. Go to one of the many other guitar shops.

Got a pedal from them online, looking foreward to checking out guitar building stuff when lockdown is over

Dave is a great help!

I had an excellent customer service experience! They are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I would recommend this place for any of your music related needs.

I am writing this 5+ Star review as I feel that Solo went above and beyond to rectify and issue that I had with a pre-wire kit. Their follow up and open communication were exceptional. I cannot express enough, how refreshing an experience this was. I will highly recommend them and look to them for further product ordering. Top Shelf, Cheers

A little disappointed. I was in Toronto for a few days and wanted to get some diy kits. I would rather see it with my own eyes before buying. However, the showroom is closed due to covid.and I find it a little odd now that most other businesses are operating normally. Monsieur who was in the store said that there is no way to make a purchase live. I was forced to leave.

Bought a guitar kit a year ago now and only just finished the project. I’m happy with the guitar considering what I spent on it. However there were some issues from the day I bought it. Went to the store and this was the only kit instock. I thought that would be a good thing, people are buying these like crazy! Got it home and took everything out and it was missing all of the electronics.no big deal I called and they were going to send me everything. Weeks went by and nothing. Called again. Oh they were just sent out but we’ll throw in a pack of strings.ok that’s fine. Finally arrive and keep messing around with the paint job for a few weeks. Go to install and clearly not the same hardware for this kit. Wiring diagram is coded differently and the jack is a different shape then what’s suppose to come and doesn’t fit. Tone nobs don’t fit against the raised middle of the body. Holes to bolt on the neck don’t line up and the holes for the tuning pegs are not level. Plate to cover the wiring doesn’t fit. I was very excited for this build but after all of this I was very disappointed in the product

Anyone who tries to build a guitar or an amp in Canada with parts or kits sourced from a Canadian supplier always faces a challenge. I was very please to find Solo. I was doing my first complete fret dress on a Fender Custom Shop Nocaster because the previous 'techs' I took my baby to couldn't even do a decent set up let alone a refret or a fret dress. I found what I needed at Solo and am doing the work myself. First rodeo. I purchased my stuff from Solo and picked it up covid safe at thier Concord location. Good products, fair & reasonable prices and a crisp & clean curbside pick up. They even had a few items I bought that StewMac didn't sell. Solo will now be my first choice 'go to' place for guitar repair tools & equipment. Nice people as well. Thanks for the tools, I hope my fret work is good.

I’ve had good experiences and bad. They do offer gear that you can’t seem to find anywhere else though so there’s that.

Bought some parts online, there was a slight problem, super respectful and helpful staff, will do business with them again!

Ordered parts and tools for my first build. The site is easy to navigate, price is for most budgets, and quick turn around time for delivery. My experience was only muted (lol) because my order didn't come with every thing purchased. Their customer service was great though. The next day they had sent the missing pieces and closed the ticket. I'm excited to see how this thing ends up, hoping to be a repeat customer!

Customer service is incredibly helpful and fast! Highly recommend for guitarists, bassists and tinkerers. Great to support Canadian companies.

If you build or like tinkering with guitars check out Solo. Lots of stock and a spacious showroom. Great knowledgable staff.

Dave was extremely helpful. I have not had customer service like this from anywhere. He was quick to respond, and answered all questions that I had. Amazing service, and will be giving more business in the near future.

Very special place and great staff, friendly and helpful.
Anything Fender and Gibson. All sorts of DIY guitars and apparel.
My exclusive store bar none.

I cannot tell you enough about this place.
It is like Disneyland for guitar players. Anything and everything you could possibly need is all in one spot. I highly recommend this as your go-to place. The prices and the customer service are excellent. I bought a kit and I know I'll buy more many many more. If you're looking to shop for guitar and guitar accessories this is it!

This is the place to go if you're in need of just about anything guitar or Luthier related. Best kit guitars. Awesome necks. Been here over a dozen times now. I drive from Hamilton and it's worth it.

I built a twelve string telecaster from Solo and only had an issue with the saddles not allowing enough travel to become intonated for the different string gauges. After contacting solo they remedied the problem and are sending me replacements.

This is a huge deal because buying a kit directly from a foreign company I probably wouldn't get support.

I'm going for an SG next, once they are back in stock.

Hey Chris, u were right about not getting the amp, but I still did. Thank you for Ur help and time yesterday December 19.
Ur honesty about not pushing sale on me and instead u advised otherwise and u were indeed correct, I appreciate the time given just for buying nylon strings.
Cheers!

Best experience ever. Great staff, excellent customer service, fantastic stock. 6/5 stars in my opinion. Keep it up guys.
