"I am looking forward to moving to our new building. Our new location located at 2120 8th Avenue South is approximately 2 miles away from our present location at the corner of 4th and Broadway. We will have approximately 5000 ft.² more which will enable us to have a larger showroom with ample tryout areas and space for people to view and hear instruments in a more peaceful setting. We will also have 45 parking places alleviating what has become a major problem for us downtown.

I wish I could push a magic button and be moved in tomorrow, but the new location has undergone extensive renovation work to suit our needs. The project is progressing on schedule and we’re preparing our current and future locations for the move. In the meantime, we remain at 400 Broadway through June 8th and are dedicated to providing the finest possible uninterrupted service." -- George Gruhn

The 2120 Building has been renovated to suit the specific needs of Gruhn Guitars. The ground floor of the new store will feature a larger showroom allowing the store to display its full inventory of vintage, used and new instruments and providing additional space for instrument trial rooms and an appraisal inspection area. The 2nd floor will include a high-end showroom, administrative offices, and instrument case storage. The top level will house Gruhn Guitars’ world renowned repair shop, shipping and receiving, and a photography studio. Ample customer parking will be available on site.

“We are looking forward to moving to a larger building with a layout customized to our specifications and ample parking to permit us to provide a better environment for our customers to view and play our fine selection of vintage, used, and new instruments,” said George Gruhn. “This is an exciting time for us. We will miss being next door to the Ryman Auditorium and other downtown landmarks, but our new location puts us within minutes of all of these attractions plus much closer to Music Row and numerous other music business enterprises. The 2120 Building is a great new home for Gruhn Guitars.”

George Gruhn opened his first downtown location on 4th Avenue in January 1970 and moved the store to its second location at 410 Broadway six years later. Gruhn Guitars has been doing business in its current location at 400 Broadway since 1993. 2120 8th Avenue South formerly housed the alternative weekly publication Nashville Scene and was most recently occupied by Emma, a local email marketing firm.
