Ed Beaver Guitars is an instrument repair shop in Nashville, TN. I build and repair guitars and other stringed instruments. I have over 30 years experience. Most of them are good.
 
As I am able to rebuild the shop, I will be more available for repairs. This looks like an ongoing process until the end of August. Bear with me, please.
I am still moving back into Soundcheck.
Posted hours are best case scenario until reconstruction is complete and schedules allow. Appointments will be honored and controlled.
Shop Hours:
     Walk in public
    Monday through Friday 10:00 to 2:00
Appointments Available from 2:00 to 4:00 daily

    *How Appointments work for you.

  • You call or use the online register to make an appointment.
  • When the appointment is accepted, I will be at your disposal.
  • I will close the shop doors, turn off the phone and give you my undivided attention.
  • I will attempt to fix your instrument or do the work in your presence while you wait.

    • *Disclaimer: This is an experimental process and will be altered as the need arises for the convenience of all.
  • Take some folks who actually like original music at face value.
    Add some gulf coast beachfront venues and a group of songwriters sharing their craft and you have........

    You may not go because of whatever reason you can come up with. But, afterwards, you will wish you had.

    Through all the wonderment of life, a few things stand out with Ed Beaver Guitars.
    One was the initial response of Thom Bresh proclaiming me "The Guitar Whisperer".
          
    Another was the honor of working on John Knowles' "Sand" Guitar.
    As a result Kirk Sand has asked that I be his liaison for warranty repairs for his instruments in Nashville.
    It just keeps getting better and better.
    Thanks to Kirk Sand for his recognition and kindness.

    ....helping guitarists keep it together.
     
    Soundcheck - Nashville ..........because it doesn't have to be hard to be a musician.

    Angie Laster does it for the music.

    Way Too Much to Think may be the best album title I have heard in awhile.

    Straight ahead Tennessee lady.
    Leon Rhodes was in the shop.
     
    He is the longest active member of the Grand Ol' Opry and one of the best guitarists in the world.
     
    This is not bragging.
     
    Leon is a very quiet and humble man. He would smile and deny this fact.
     
    He is still in demand as a session player and a great role model for those interested in playing the guitar with skill and finesse!
     
    Judge for yourself.

    Memorial Day is a day of contemplation and remembrance. Some people get it.
    Lisa Carver gets it better than even she knows.
    This all links to "Bullets"
    Nashville as a community has proven itself in the way the people all joined together to help each other. Musicares.org, FEMA, the SBA have all joined us in getting the area back to some sort of order so we may continue to grow out of this.
     
    Of course, AT&T did not have such consideration. But, the bill is paid and AT&T remains at the bottom of the love chain.
    I am only human, thank God.
     

    You have to love these people. They help a lot!

     
    Thanks to all who have donated or wanted to. One thing keeps repeating itself. "I know it's not much, ...........".
     
    From my perspective there is no quantification of giving. When love is involved, giving is wholly and totally universal.
     
    Thank you for all you have done. The amount is not as relevant as the love.
    Meanwhile, memories of the "Good Old Days".
     
    What happens when you give a creative genius a camera and some spare time? He makes a video!
     
    When Thom Bresh received the No. 1 of 100 Merle Travis Model from Martin Guitars, he brought it in to tweak to his exacting standards.
     
    The resulting video is available on Bresh TV - YouTube. Click on the picture of me holding Thom's new guitar and watch the video. Make sure you select high definition for clarity.
