History

13th Street Guitars was started out of Hugh's garage on 13th Street in downtown Huntington Beach. Through word of mouth, we quickly outgrew that space. In 2009, we began the move toward a larger shop. After a year in a small shop, we moved to our storefront location on Warner Ave in H.B. in 2010. After 7 years there, we moved down the street to Gothard & Heil in 2017. We've serviced thousands of instruments for clients all over Southern California in the 10 years since those humble beginnings. We still strive to keep the small-shop atmosphere every day. No attitude, and great customer service. We treat every instrument as if it was our own. Stop by sometime, even if it's just to say Hello and meet the guys. Get a tour of the Plek machine and watch it in action. Play some guitars that have been Plek'd or get yours scanned!

Ive been coming here since I was a kid. Took my guitar for a setup and some extra little things and I'm really happy with how it came out. Well worth the wait.

Brought two guitars back to back just recently. Tune up/ intonation and a pickup swap. Workmanship was spot on, quick (even around Christmas time). Only can really say two negative things....
