Down Home Guitars is a Gem!
In the style of the Old Town School of Folk Music, Down Home Guitars offers a wide selection of wooden instruments as well as lessons, concerts, and a place to jam with others.
I have purchased three instruments there and have been very pleased with the quality of the instruments and the competitive pricing.
Awesome shop! Helpful, patient,great price!! Thank you Steve!
This place is the best high-end guitar store in Chicagoland! Great people that treat their customers fairly and have superb guitars!
For the high-end guitar user this is the place to go when you want a new toy or to make a trade in swap deal. They are very fair.
I’m extremely happy after leaving there.
The store carries beautiful high-end acoustic instruments. They also hold some impressive seminars and concerts. If you want the very best and can spend 6K on a guitar then this store may be for you. With a larger wallet, perhaps you will receive better treatment than I did. The red-haired owner of this store is probably the rudest retail store owner I have ever experienced. Of course, I wasn’t there to spend thousands of dollars. I simply went there to buy picks, strings, tab books, and to explore and discuss instruments with other music lovers. My initial visits were often greeted by cold, stiff, and awkward personalities. After multiple visits, I expected things would warm up, and while some staff were friendly, it was never a comfortable experience. This was especially true whenever the owner was present. Pompous and arrogant seem apt descriptions, and small talk and small wallets are beneath him.

The best. Whatever you need, just go talk to them…
Mokena is very lucky to have this gem of a music shop. Our boys took Bass guitar and piano lessons for a few years and had a great experience doing so. Bill is one cool dude who will find you whatever instrument you may be looking for and can fix any one you break. Side note: he also has a sweet recording studio across the street if you are interested in locking those tunes down. If You or your kids are looking for lessons or you’re looking for some great used or new equipment you have to give Axes a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Great service. And an awesome selection. They didn’t have what I was looking for yet they still called around to try and find it. Awesome place. Definitely will be going back.
