About Guitar Riot

Guitar Riot is a brick and mortar store located in beautiful Cleveland, Ohio. We are among many fine shops and restaurants located in the Ohio City district of Cleveland. If you are traveling through Cleveland please stop in and say hello! We are minutes from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland Clinic, downtown concert venues, sporting arenas, and museums.
We specialize in the finest quality, hand-made electric guitars, amplifiers, pedals, and more.
All of our gear is available for the customer to play in our showroom. We welcome you to visit our shop and personally hold and hear the item you are interested in. Each instrument and amplifier is hand made — the best way to experience it is with your own hands and ears!
Brent and Tim are both life long music fans; recording/touring professionals; and gear nerds. Feel free to browse and shop our site or give us a call to chat.

Shipping Policy

Guitar Riot offers free shipping on any order over $75 in the continental US except for items from those manufacturers that do not allow it. Our primary method of shipment is FedEx Ground/Home Delivery though we may opt to use a different carrier at our discretion. We do offer expedited services such as FedEx express (3day) and overnight options. We will deduct the standard ground shipping cost if you decide to use one of these methods. You will receive an email with tracking info when your order ships. Guitar and amp shipments must go to a location where a person can sign for it. If that is not possible we can send to the nearest depot and have the package held for you to pick up.
***International buyers please message us for a shipping quote.

Special Conditions

Guitar Riot gives a 72 hour approval period on all items. We will add an extra 24 hours to guitars and basses shipped December through March. This allows 24 hours for climate acclimation before opening the box. To return an item you must contact Guitar Riot via phone (216.291.7172) and get a Return Authorization (RA) number from us. No returns will be accepted without an RA number issued from Guitar Riot.
All returned items must be in their original packaging, show no signs of use, and include all of the original paperwork/accessories that were included in the shipment.

Store credit or refund will be worked out beforehand. You are required to provide a tracking number for any return and use a comparable shipping service to how you received the item. Tracking information must be provided within 24 hours of the return.
Returns must be insured for the full retail value. Please over pack any return to insure it arrives safely. If a return arrives damaged it is up to you to file a claim with the shipping company. Any damaged return will be refused. If you have insured the package for the full amount and packed it well this will not be an issue. Guitar Riot will notify you immediately if a return has arrived damaged.
