Amazing experience. A friend told me Lark Street Music just got in a 1968 Super Reverb and their website confirmed it. I live a few states away so conducted business over the phone and via email. Within 24 hours the amp was delivered to me. Amazing service. Fast shipping. And of course top quality equipment. I couldn’t be happier. All original 1968 with the drip edge. After a service she was up and running. She sure does sing. I’ll be buying from these guys again. And again. And again!!

Purchased a Martin D-18 from these guys. Very safe process and allowed me to try three acoustic guitars I was considering from visiting their website prior to stopping by. Not ONCE did they push me towards one guitar or to hurry me up with my decision. Answered any and all questions I had. Shop is kept at good temperature and relative humidity. Very nice guys and Ill look to them first for high quality instruments in the future.

Great shop for used acoustic instruments. Mandolins. Banjos. Fiddles. Guitars. Tenor guitars. Dobros. Jazz arch tops. Even good classic fender electrics and basses. A real gem. Buzz and his team know their stuff and the shop is full of unusual, great sounding instruments. I got a used Trinity Irish Bazouki here for a fair price and I have not regretted it a second.

Bought a 1958 Martin D-18 from them a few days ago and couldnt be happier. I live about an hour away and have made the trip to them three times over the years. Ive always come with a trade in, and Ive always felt I was given a fair deal with the trade in, unlike at other dealers. Like I told Buzz before I left Ive been here three times and Ive left happy all three times.

I asked to retouch back side of neck for my Benedetto Bambino guitar because the painting peeled off a lot. It took one and half month to get done. When I saw my guitar after they fixed it, it looked like a brand new. I was surprised of the quality because they did really good job!Also they fixed setting for my Yamaha SA1000, it came out perfectly too!I tried to solve these issues with other stores but it wasn’t satisfied. But this store, they can do anything you ask for. Best guitar shop around.

While I love the selection, I hate feeling like Im inconveniencing anyone when searching for a product. It may help if the online inventory was updated so I didnt waste my time going there & searching for 2 pedals which were sold long ago. Maybe if Buzz wouldve recommended a similar pedal I wouldve purchased something & not felt like I wasted my time & his, guess he doesnt need the sale? Too bad, but Sam Ash earned my dough.

They are knowledgeable and kind in this shop. Being a female musician, Im always a bit hesitant going into musical instrument shops (trust me its a thing), but I got answers to all my questions. Lark Street is reasonable for repairs and if you like vintage guitars, they have one of the best selections around.

Nice selection of vintage classical guitars. Offered more alternatives of strings than any other store that is selling guitars in the area. You pay a little bit more but you have a choice.

I first met buzz backstage at the knickerbocker arena in “88 with a friend who was opening up for tom petty. buzz opened up his store for us and tom’s band, after the show. we had the run of the store. fun.since then, i’ve done countless deals w/ buzz, who became a great friend and mentor. through buzz, i’ve been the recipient of an immeasurable amount of vintage guitar knowledge.i can’t begin to express my love, admiration and respect for buzz. he breathes the rare air of a man w/ great integrity and honesty in an industry filled with hucksters and straight up criminals.cheers to you, buzz!!!

Nice shop, GREAT inventory of vintage guitars...some of the best Ive seen. Picked up an 88 Telecaster in excellent condition. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Buzzy seems like he would be a blast to hang out and jam with!Got a good deal as a first timer there. Definitely recommend the shop and plan on returning when the itch hits for more gear!Some super vintage amps there too!Stew

Don’t be fooled by the unassuming exterior of this store. Buzzy Levine has been selling and repairing guitars and other instruments for decades and his inventory includes some of the finest guitars known to man. With the only possible exception being Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island, this is one of the greatest guitar stores in the tri-state area if not the northeast. And now that Mandolin Bros is permanently closed, you do the math. Buzzy also has a knack for finding and acquiring some of the rarest and unique instruments and pedals you will ever find anywhere (a candle-powered guitar pedal being the most recent thing I saw and it was beyond astonishing) and just being in the store can teach you about the history of acoustic and electric guitars. (He once had a Maccaferri from the late forties that was one serial number away from the guitar that Django was known to play - needless to say I stared at it for quite some time). If you love guitars and you are anywhere near this place don’t pass up the chance to come in. This is where the real players shop and get their instruments fixed.

This is the best shop Ive ever made it a point to get to. Killer gear at great prices, none of the pretension you get with some similar stores... Buzz, Steve and the crew are always ready to help and their knowledge is second to none. If you are serious about real gear and good people you need to find your way to Lark Street.

Lark Street music is one of the older vintage guitar stores around and they are small place in Englewood now. But their customer service is great and they have reasonable prices on their vintage equipment.They have a laid-back atmosphere and I large selection of vintage jazz guitarist and focus cars along with Spanish classical guitarist. Their website is pretty good.

Review №35

Never been a big fan of corporate chains like Guitar Center and my guitar teacher mentioned Lark to me. Completely clueless when it comes to guitars due to fact that I am just beginning to learn how to play. Upon entrance, Steve asked me if I needed some help. Mentioned that my budget was $100 - $500 and he showed me several options. He really took the time necessary to listen to me and let me demo quite a few models. Walked away with a great guitar that was very reasonably priced. Buzz also spent some time chatting about this and that. Im down in Verona, highly recommend making the drive north, A+ experience!
