The owner and founder Brian Medas is a guitarist himself. Brian decided to create Guitar Works, Inc. some 30 years ago due to his intense passion for playing guitar. His affection for fretted instruments is why the relationship between the player and the instrument is at the heart of everything we do. Walk through the door, and you can sense the difference.
Our original and main building is a historic, brick townhouse in eclectic Carytown, a business district in Richmond, Virginia known as much for its charm and warmth as for the wide variety of its 200+ specialty shops and stores. It is the perfect setting for Guitar Works, Inc. to offer its truly personalized services including careful sales processes of the top brands in music, customized one-on-one instruction, expert service and repair, and our highly praised line of fretted instruments proudly and simply branded "Guitar Works, Inc." With this website we have enjoyed extending our unique experience to people across town and across America and several foreign countries. Visit us. We are here to help with your musical needs.

Whatever moves you to play music -- whether it's blues, bluegrass, classical, country, folk, jazz, rock, or worship music -- we share your passion.
Come join us in celebrating our 30th Anniversary!

From Susan in Ketchacan, Alaska:
"I want to express my excitement and thanks for providing the personal attention to my new Guitar Works GWLP-1 guitar. My husband usually doesn’t do much online (or long distance) shopping, but you all helped my husband give me the Christmas gift that I actually wanted to recieve."

Another customer says:
"Thank you for providing a place where someone can get a decent instrument for an amazingly affordable price."

And another: "Just played my second entire gig with my $169.00 GWT-1 natural electric. The guitar is great. What was amazing to me was how it stayed in tune! One of the most in-tune, stay-in-tune guitars I've ever played. Amazing" -- Rich from Tampa, Florida

Thank you for the help with my purchase. It's not so common to find people such as yourself who don't sound put-out to be answering questions, or helping with a sale. There were five other places I could have bought from but your wonderful disposition sold me. Service like that will get you far, but I have a feeling it's its own reward for you all. Sincerely, Erin
