Guitarist Meetup
Thursday June 26, 20255 - 7:00pm
Join us in the shop on Thursday June 26th from 5-7pm for a laid-back evening of guitars, gear, and good company.
We’re teaming up with Taylor Guitars and Powers Electric, who will be at the shop answering questions and showcasing the newest models from each company.
Help Vance Gilbert Heal and Recover
Many of you may know Vance from his beautiful demo videos on our YouTube channel, and as a good friend of ours and staple of the New England music scene, we wanted to share that he’s been diagnosed with a treatable form of tonsil cancer. He’ll be undergoing chemo and radiation, which means canceled gigs and lost income in the months ahead.
If you’d like to help, you can donate whatever feels comfortable to support him during this time, or pick up some of his music - every bit helps Vance focus on healing, not bills.
Spring 2025 | Vintage Collection
From pre-war acoustics to mid-century electrics, our 2025 Spring Vintage Collection offers a time-spanning snapshot of guitar history for discerning players and collectors alike.
New! Esteve Classical & Flamenco Guitars
Handcrafted in Valencia since 1957, Guitarras Esteve represents the heart of Spanish guitar tradition, where generations of skilled artisans blend time-honored techniques with modern innovations.
Lyle Lovett & Band Visit the shop | 5.2.25
A huge thanks to Lyle Lovett and his band for stopping by the shop yesterday - it was a true highlight for the TME crew, many of whom are lifelong fans. Pictured here: Diego, Andy, Adam, Joe, Holly, Ian, and Eliot alongside Lyle and his guitarist, Keith Sewell. A day to remember!
New! Ron Thorn | Piatta
We’re thrilled to have a new build in the works from Ron Thorn, and it’s shaping up to be something truly exceptional.
Constructed from korina with a Flying V-style deep tenon neck joint, this guitar leans into classic Gibson DNA while showcasing the level of detail and nuance we’ve come to expect from Ron’s work.
We have three currently on order in various pickup combinations. The base price is $7800 with the final price determined by the specs/options. Let us know if you'd like to reserve yours!

FOR MUSICIANS
Since 1968, we have been here to help you find your next musical inspiration. In what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming process, our aim is to curate a rewarding, enjoyable, and unique experience of musical discovery.
Independent Retailer
Supporting independent retailers like The Music Emporium means supporting the local economy and community. We, in turn, love giving back to our local artists and venues as well as serving as a hub for our local music community.
Expert Guidance
We’ve seen it all from '59 Les Pauls, pre-war Martins, single luthier, factory built, vintage, preowned, to entry level. We use this collective experience to help guide you to the right gear for your needs & budget - without any commissioned advice.
Curated Inventory
Our inventory is a reflection of our collective love of great design, music, and instruments. If it’s listed for sale in our showroom or on our website, you can be sure it’s something we’d own and use ourselves.
Fast Shipping
Nothing makes time pass slower than excitedly awaiting your new purchases' delivery, which is why most orders ship the same day - after we do an inspection and fresh setup, of course.
TRADE | SELL
With our robust online presence and premier showroom, we connect with a wide audience, delivering quicker and more significant returns for our clients.
