Could not be happier with the service. They sorted my bass out and were very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

In the last minute I needed my guitar re-wiring looked at and the service tech man Ian tried his best to fix the problem while I waited, that is great service thanks guys, I suppose I was lucky because there was 100 guitar repairs on the floor in front of me. The real guitars shop looks like something from Harry Potter movie with two old professors working away on there instruments somebody said they were grumpy but that’s ok they got the job done.
I first met Brendan and Ian back in 2003 when my mum knocked my guitar over while vacuuming and snapped the headstock (they made it good as new). Since then Real Guitars has been my go to guitar shop with repairs, sales and servicing. Real Guitars is an institution and I look up to Brendan, Ian and Jonathan as father figures in my life - friends who look after me and genuinely care for my instruments. They also sell the best second hand vintage guitars and amps in Melbourne - I buy all my stuff there. Don’t be put off by the state of the place - they’re busy for a reason. Stick around and explain what you want done and hear their expert advice, and when you receive your guitar back make sure you test it out in the shop - they will gladly perform any tweaks and last minute adjustments to your liking. In closing, this place is excellent. 100% recommended and never ever had a problem with Real Guitars in almost 20 years.
Absolutely blown away. Took an old Les Paul in for a bit of attention and it got returned to me as the nicest feeling, sounding and playing guitar I've ever picked up. Brendan is a master. They have a lot of work but still got my job done before Christmas in under a week. So happy, however I'm left with no option but to figure out which of my other guitars to take in next.
Dropped off a Fender Strat and Tele to Brendan recently for some setups,and what can you say about a man who clearly sold his soul to the devil in exchange for superpowers in the dark arts of guitar luthiery. Amazing work on both guitars and I'm now a 15% better guitarist. The guys here clearly have a passion for what they do and it shows. 10/10.
Not in the least bit either helpful or polite. Couple of rude old codgers who couldn’t have been less interested or less helpful. They were recommended but I will be telling the business that recommends them to think twice.
I needed a very rare saddle screw for my 80s Yamaha bass guitar. A few shops didn't have it but told me to try Real Guitars. Sure enough, after a bit of digging around they found the right screw. I also had some problems with my electro acoustic which they fixed on the spot. Very knowledgeable and helpful, and a reasonable price. These guys are legends.
I've been getting my guitars repaired and serviced at Real Guitars for over 20 years. Ian and Brendan are absolute masters at their craft. Love this place. Best guitar shop in Melbourne.. probably one of the best in the world.
