About Me


WE BUY SELL TRADE and REPAIR
MUSIC GEAR
Estimates on repairs ALWAYS free!
Ziggie's Music has been serving Phoenix musicians since 1927.
In 1956, we moved from downtown Phoenix to our current location.

In-house repairs for amplifiers, guitars and accordions.
Our Amp Tech, Chuck, is a long time recording engineer and audio tech.
Accordion repairs cover everything but finishes.
In keeping with our mission of providing quality services, such as lessons and repairs, we added a monthly swap meet in 1992.
Held on the first Saturday of every month, Ziggie's Swap Meet gives local musicians and collectors alike the opportunity to get together and buy, sell, or trade their gear with each other.
The swap meet is free, so all our friends can get together and swap gear and stories.
Did I say Friends? Yes!
Because our customers are friends.
Some customers are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the customers that dealt with Ziggie himself over 75 years ago!
Now with MySpace, we have made friends from all over the world.
It is great to provide a service to people who need it.
We have many repeat customers and it makes us proud that they will return to deal with us again and again.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
