Business Description

Chicago Music Exchange, situated in the vibrant Lincoln Avenue area of Chicago, is an independent guitar store celebrated for its diverse collection of musical instruments. This destination is a haven for both budding musicians and rock stars alike, boasting an impressive inventory that includes new, used, and vintage guitars, electric and acoustic varieties, along with bass guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals, guitar straps, and various accessories. While the store is renowned for its high-end vintage pieces that are often hard to find, it also offers a broad selection of competitively priced gear with frequent discounts and room for negotiation. Established in 1989, the journey of Chicago Music Exchange began with a simple loft operation that grew into an expansive storefront, showcasing the owner David Kalt's commitment to customer relationships. The friendly, expert staff members are eager to assist customers in finding the right gear and answering any musical queries, making each visit a memorable experience. Their adjacent location, Chicago Drum Exchange, further enhances the musical journey, offering an extensive array of percussion instruments.
