8th Avenue Guitar Works, New Creative Hub For Guitarists, To Open In Nashville

/by

The Musical Instrument Reclamation Company has announced the opening of 8th Avenue Guitar Works on Feb. 20 at 2101 8th Avenue South in Nashville.

A new creative hub for guitarists in Nashville, 8th Avenue Guitar Works provides a hands-on environment where musicians can explore tone, craftsmanship and customization. The space brings MIRC’s refurbishment process directly to the public, allowing musicians to touch, feel and compare necks, bridges, pickups and specialty parts in person, making informed choices for mod projects and custom builds. Guests can also play guitars sourced directly from manufacturers and refurbished, and every guitar on the floor reflects the craft, care, and precision that the company’s technicians bring to the refurbishment process. Unique instruments are arriving daily, so the inventory is constantly evolving.

The shop also features a dedicated parts bar where musicians can see, hear, and feel how different components affect tone and playability. 8th Avenue Guitar Works will exclusively offer Mighty Mite replacement parts, also owned by MIRC, making it the only brand of replacement parts available in the store. Available offerings include Mighty Mite’s newly launched line of replacement necks, bodies, and pickups along with custom-painted bodies and a curated selection of Mighty Mite Reclaimed Parts, giving players even more ways to personalize and reimagine their instruments.

“We opened 8th Avenue Guitar Works so people can truly see and feel the difference in our refurbished guitars,” shares Jason Gano, CEO, and Natalie Kyriakoudis, CFO.  “Every guitar, even when they’re technically the same model, can feel and sound completely different. Our process honors that individuality.”

For more than three decades, Musical Instrument Reclamation Company has built a reputation for scale, trust, and professionalism in the secondary and refurbished guitar market, refurbishing more than 30,000 guitars annually from over 100 brands. The company has long served as the guitar industry’s sustainability partner in the Nashville area, keeping thousands of instruments out of landfills and in the hands of players every year.
