About Me

BCR Music is a small shop with a big heart. My names's Greg, and along with my PERFECT wife Kristin and my carefully chosen staff, I strive to have the best guitars and amps that I can find. I am not a fan of the common stuff, I prefer smaller companies with owners that can talk on the phone. If I won't play it on stage, I don't want it in my shop. Period.We carry guitars by Hamer, Robin, Nik Huber, Schecter, Breedlove, BC Rich, Washburn, and always have a ton of good used guitars. I favor 50's Gibsons, so I usually have a few about. Wierd and wonderful guitars fall on us all the time, like Christmas all year 'round!I am known for my quality repair and vintage restoration work. Rock stars from Cheap Trick to Green Day, Shinedown to Rhino Bucket, Kix to CSNY, Aerosmith to The Cult, Supersuckers, Godsmack to Steely Dan have used my talents. My second repair tech Kurt tours with Linkin Park and Godsmack as a guitar tech, so we meet and befriend tons of touring musicians. You never know who will be hanging around the shop! I collect vintage Gibson guitars, and have restored many guitars to their former glory. My hoard of vintage parts is well known, I have spares of EVERYTHING, so when and old guitar needs a tuner or full wiring harness, I probably have it.I love trading guitars, parts, amps....you name it.Call us at 717.730.9775.
