Rusty's is a wonderful shop with great ownership and management. I am a hobbyist and was treated like I was a pro when I came in while vacationing in the area. The guitar selection ranges from very high end to quality budget models for folks like myself. Either way, they don't sell crap. I bought one electric guitar and exchanged it same day for an acoustic because I changed my mind. The manager Chris was great about it and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend this shop.
Rusty’s is a must-visit for all guitarists in the Lowcountry or, like me, anyone who has just started learning their way around a fretboard. They have a great selection of unique instruments and amps; a pedal room you could spend hours in; and, most importantly, a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and judgment-free staff. I was visiting family in West Ashley and brought along my new electric guitar I purchased a few months earlier (from a different, larger vendor). The guitar had started to develop some electronics issues with a pickup cutting out, buzzing, etc. I called Rusty’s to see if they could take a look at it during my short time in Charleston, and Chris said he could probably fix it up that day if he wasn’t busy. My brother and I went to the shop that Friday once I got in town, and Chris remembered our conversation as soon as I walked in. He got to work on it immediately (while still juggling a couple customers) and, to his word, not only fixed my guitar that day, but improved the poorly wired electronics the guitar came with from the factory. While he did that, we were able to browse the store, spend some time in the stomp shop, and chat with other staff and customers. Chris pulled me in throughout the repair to show me the issues he found, and my brother and I were on our way back home that afternoon. The entire process was smooth, reasonably priced and professional. In all, it made me a repeat customer even though I live out of state!
Vacationing in Charleston and found Rusty’s Cool Guitars. Walked in & was immediately made to feel at home in their tucked away shop by Chris the Manager. He gave me a tour and led me to their acoustic collection while explaining the different brands available. No high pressure or sales pitch, just a thorough overview of Rusty’s inventory. Played several guitars and found one that fit my needs (Eastman PCH2-D) but had to leave due to scheduled events. Came back to Rusty’s a few days later found the Eastman acoustic still in stock with Chris ready to send me home with this “All-Weather” Gem. Chris put a new set of StringJoy Foxwoods on it, free of charge, while I waited and the whole process was seamless. This guitar store staff has incredible hospitality and I will not hesitate to follow them on-line to see what’s in-store or stop by again in the future. Do yourself a favor and look up Rusty’s Cool Guitars if you’re in the market or area. It’ll be worth it! Jeff from Ohio
I took my pedal board in as it was not functioning. Chris Andrews/ Manager was just amazing. He troubleshooted the issue right on the spot and made it functional once again. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and Rusty's Cool Guitars has the best in equipment to. Go check out their store today!!!
Disclaimer: I am not a musician I was vacationing in the Charleston area last October with my father, who is a life-long musician. He wanted to stop by a couple music stores in the area, and this was one of them. I was thoroughly impressed with 2 main things: The Atmosphere You can tell a lot of work and love was put into the small space to make it feel fun, inviting, and professional. Presentation isn't everything, but with small businesses, it shows the passion they have for their work. The Friendliness We were just a couple of hillbillies who obviously weren't going to make a big purchase, or even become a regular customer(being out-of-towners). Despite that, the owner and manager were incredibly kind and friendly. They talked/jammed with us for over an hour, and obviously had a real genuine love of music and people. We ended up buying a couple t-shirts. I'm wearing mine now, which reminded me that I forgot to leave a review months ago, so here I am. I recommend them for hospitality alone.
