Dan's Guitars

My favorite guitar store and the one I've bought the most instruments from.I'm a casual musician who travels for work so I can look and buy when and where I want...I always look to Dan when I have a new interest.Come in, play a few, leave with at least one.

Service was excellent and Dan is very knowledgeable to help get the right guitar. Prices are very reasonable. Great selection for both electric and acoustic guitars. I would highly recommend to everyone to check it out.

I took my Schecter guitar to Dan's guitar shop to have new strings and new Grover tuners and they did an excellent job and the month before that to work on my Gretsch guitar and soulmate excellent guitar case for it

Love this place The only ones that were able to fix my Ovation guitar and allowed me to play it once again after many years sitting in the case aging. So awesome to checkout the many amazing guitar and amps too! A candy store for the guitar player enthusiasts!

My favorite stringed instrument and guitar amp and effects retailer in the state! Honest, informative, friendly.

My son wanted to learn to play guitar and buy one to use and learn on. The band he does sound for recommended Dan's as the place to go. He told me he was assisted with not only getting the right guitar for him but at a very good price. They even discounted some of the accessories he wanted and he left very pleased.We went back a month or so after he bought the guitar to get it restrung as the strings were already corroding. Dan recognized him as a customer and offered to show him how he can restring his own guitar and saving the $30 fee after talking with him about various string options and what fits him best. This I see as great customer service and when he not only waived the $30 restringing fee, as Dan appreciated loyal costumers, he showed my son how to do it himself, he found a loyal customer in us both.Great local business and owner who shows aloha to all his customers with great service and reasonable prices. Highly recommend this business!

I had Dan do some work on my 2003 feder strat, California made. The action and truss rod were all messed up because I don't know how to work on guitars, and worked on my guitar. Anyway, Dan recognized that my instrument was salvageable, and not nearly as bad as I thought. He got the action perfect and intonation is spot on. All cleaned up and it sounds amazing! Thank you Dan, I'm gonna practice now!-Scott

I brought in my Taylor GS Mini to Dan a couple weeks ago to get my bridge re-glued because it was peeling up at the corners and the action was very high and needed to have it fixed. I chose to go with Dan because it's a small business and have read incredible reviews about his knowledge and customer service. Dan said it would take about 2 weeks for it to be repaired which I didn't mind, as long as it was fixed. 2 days later Dan called me and told me it was ready and I was impressed on how quick they did the repair. After I got home I was playing the guitar and noticed that the bridge was still peeling up and honestly was very upset because I spent a good amount of money to have it fixed. Not only that, as I was looking at the guitar I noticed that there was little pieces of wood inside of the body of the guitar. I immediately called Dan and addressed my issue and he was genuinely upset that I was not satisfied and told me to bring the guitar back in and he will make everything right for me. I brought the guitar back in but Dan wasn't there so I just dropped it off and left. The next day Dan personally called me and told me that he inspected the entire inside of the guitar with a mirror and flashlight and said there was 0 damage which was a huge relief and since I have a full wood guitar, I use humidity packs for when I store my guitar in the case and the packs are stored in a felt pack. Dan did some investigating and determined that when he took the felt packs out, it must have collected the wood chips that was in his shop. But Dan went above and beyond and called his Taylor rep and did a lot of research about the gs mini and learned that they don't glue the entire bridge on and leave a 1/8th gap of glue from the edge to account for swelling which is bound to happen to anyone. Dan also said that he wanted to make my guitar better than when I brought it back in and offered to lower the saddle to lower the action to make it play and sound better. Dan did all of this and wanted to give me a full refund because he knew how upset I was and just wanted to make it right and make sure he had another satisfied customer. The very next day he called me again and told me it was ready for pick up. I picked up my guitar and it was better than ever and Dan was so apologetic for what I had to go through to get it fixed. But because Dan was just awesome and he genuinely cared about me and my guitar and how satisfied I was with his work, I told him to to keep the refund because I was impressed with his customer service. If you have to bring in your guitar for anything, I highly HIGHLY recommend using Dan. He is fair, professional, and cares so much about his customers and treats you like you are his family. I will definitely be coming back to Dan with any future guitar needs and highly suggest that you do too!!

Dan is wonderfully considerate, thoughtful and reliable and takes great care of his customers and their instruments. Highly recommended.

-Dan's Guitars is the best, most personal local instrument store in Hawaii ! Dan + staff are totally up to date on everything old and new (including all new effects) ...and so great it is a locally owned business in Honolulu for decades. Easy working also! My #1 go-to store in Hawaii for my recording and touring needs! *****
