Angel City Guitars - Woodland Hills, California

Sir D.

Bought a guitar, when I received it sounded terrible. I asked to exchange or money back. He refused and tried blaming it on the maker. The maker then blamed Olay. Watch out for this place and the guitar dealers. Very shady practice.

This place amazing! If you are looking for boutique guitars this is your spot. Not a "cookie cutter" guitar store. If play guitar and you have never been here, you're missing out big time!

I was in town for a wedding and I have been wanting to visit Angel City Guitars for a while now. It was a pleasure meeting Olay and his knowledge and passion of music was amazing! This place is a true gem owned my a true artist! I couldn’t recommend this place more!

Probably the nicest guitar shop in LA not crowded out all and a wide selection of guitars and mind boggling pedal selection absolutely no junk in this store.

I emailed Angel city guitars for an inquiry about trading in a guitar for another one as I am aware this shop has these services. He responded once asking for which guitar I was interested in, I gave him the guitars I would be interested in and he just ghosted me. I tried following up a couple days later giving him the benefit of the doubt and still did not respond. Stay away from this place.

Boutique guitar store for the serious player. Olay was awesome and very welcoming. Answered all my questions and did not hesitate on any guitar I asked to play. I ended up purchasing a guitar from Olay shortly after. Hands down my new favorite guitar shop. Thank you! From Glendale, AZ.

Olay is a great guy, who knows a lot about the stuff that he sells, he is super helpful and responsive. His shop also has a great selection of guitars, amps, pedals and strings. Highly recommend his shop especially to guitar enthusiasts, pros and to all kinds of guitar lovers.

Back in October of 2021, I reached out to Angel City Guitars to have this guitar built for my 30th birthday (in May of 2022). They said it was a 3-4 month wait so I paid in full upfront and went on my merry way. 3 months go by and I reach out to ACG and ask for an ETA and they say, "Well actually it is going to be closer to 6-8 months but you are lucky because other brands have over a year wait". And every time I would ask him a question, he would keep saying that I was "lucky to have a shorter wait than other brands". I wasn't super pleased with this so I asked about the cancellation policy since blue JM63s come up fairly regularly on Reverb for less than the custom that I ordered and he kept side stepping answering my question. Long story short, I decided to keep waiting for the matching headstock. Then I did not hear from him for 4 months, no updates, no check-ins, nothing. So I reach out at 7 months and ask about an ETA and he says, "It should get here sometime in June". So we plow through June and I ask for updates because I am traveling and have studio dates set and he ignores my emails. Then 3 days shy of 8 full months and weeks of being ignored, he messages me that the guitar has arrived.

So I go and pick up my guitar and I am excited to see and play it in the shop and I take it home. I have it sitting out next to my other guitars and the fretboard looks orange-ish grey almost like they spilled bleach on part of the fretboard. I sat with it a bit longer but I grew to not be happy with it so I reached out asking how we can go about getting a replacement neck since it looked so bad and he never responded to me.

I had to email Nash directly and we worked out getting a replacement neck. I tried to "support the little guy" by going to this shop and it was my worst guitar buying experience of my life.
