Members bradberry00 Posted June 24, 2008 Members Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hey, I just tried this post in the Electric Guitar forum, but no responses, so I thought I'd give it a go here.I just moved to the Indy area, and one of the first things I like to do after a move is to try and find a good place to get my guitars set up/check out new gear. Anyone on here live in or around Indy with suggestions on places to get a guitar setup, repaired, refinished, etc.? What about used gear stores? Thanks for any ideas!

Members IRG Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ask Crxxshsdxxmy, he's from Indiana I believe, though not Indy. I used to live in Indy, but I didn't play guitar then. I believe though, there is a decent store in the Broadripple neighborhood, it's been a long time since I've lived there. I don't think Indy is known for their unique independent guitar stores, which is kind of like everything else in Indy; nice but somewhat generic.

Members Crxsh Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm from Lafayette, which is about an hour northwest of Indy ... There's a GC on 31 and a place called IRC on 82nd you should check out. I hear there's a decent place in Greenwood too, but I've never been and don't remember the name. That's about all the help I can be so long as we're talking about Indy. If you're ever up this way, stop by McGuire Music ... bunch of cool people in there.

Members bradberry00 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hey thanks! I'm real close to Greenwood, so I'll probably look into that further, and I'll definately check the other two out. It's so hard to find someone who really can be trusted to get a good setup at a reasonable price around here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 You've also got Bloomington nearby. Check out http://www.roadworthyguitars.com/ and http://www.ronsound.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IndyGuitarist Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 My shop is south of indy, in martinsville actually. Also, MoJo Mods is located in downtown greenwood. The GC's here don't have alot of boutique stuff unfortunately. bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Senor Cleavage Posted June 25, 2008 Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm in Indianapolis. PM me and I'll give you the info for the guy who recently worked on my guitar. He did a great job.I went pawnshopping/music store shopping today and didn't find much to speak of anywhere. Sucks, the Guitar Center in Castleton used to have a ton of kickass used gear.

Members bradberry00 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hey guys thanks for the help! Totally forgot about Indyguitarist! I'll definately be checkin' your place out, and I've got family in Illinois, so Bloomington is not a bad trip at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad drive from Indy at all, especially if you're on the south side. I commuted quite often from Indy to Bloomington. About an hour or so. Real nice community, but I like college towns.

Members drasp Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yay - a Hoosier thread! I grew up in Elkhart & spent time living in Indy & B-Rock. I miss it, great state. Don't forget that Ted Weber is in Kokomo & IIRC, so is Valvetech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 64DUECE Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you're near Greenwood, try the Guitar Works on 135 just south of the HomeDepot. Cool people, nice gear. I'm from the NW so I go to GC in Castleton, Sam Ash in Castleton or Guitar Works in Greenwood. I think Guitar Works is the only one of the three that still has a guitar tech for repair/setup.

Members terrafirma Posted June 26, 2008 Members Share Posted June 26, 2008 Sweet...A Hoosier thread!!! Concord...well I'm south...in Plymouth. One of my good friends at college went to Concord. I think it's called Picketts...one of my friends from college frequents that store. I want to say it's near Greenwood. I'll have to ask my friends, but looks like you guys nailed the big ones already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
