I sincerely hoped to love this place based on their previous reviews. I think the owner might be winding down a bit and perhaps preparing for retirement. He was a real pleasure to talk to, and clearly well thought of as a luthier from the collection of guitars waiting to be worked on and picked up. Unfortunately the selection of guitars for sale was limited at best and predominantly electric guitars. D'Angelicos were prominently displayed but I'ld say there weren't more than forty guitars for sale and a lot of them were used. The shop dog was the bet part of the visit. Good girl!

Steve was awesome, we were visiting from Dallas, TX - I always tend to look up the music stores when visiting to see if I can find any rare finds. While I didn't find anything to my taste, I got see some of Steve's custom guitars he'd built and was blown away by the level of craftsmenship. He is obviously a passionate player/Luthier who knows his stuff. We visited a few other stores but I kept thinking about the amazing custom builds from High Desert. Wonderful to see!Steve also recommend the best breakfast burrito in town!

Really great store in Santa Fe, but I live in Colorado now and would love to view your stock via web site. Can't seem to find one.

Awesome guy working here. He helped me get to the store when I was in the wrong parking lot, he hooked me up with some nice strings, and he’s just an all around nice guy.

In picked up my Les Paul Standard yesterday, I asked Steve to give it a good set up. After I got home,I started playing around 7 pm...played until 12am. My guitar has NEVER played like this. Simply awesome !!! The man is a true Luthier. If you need work done on your axe, take it to this man !

I got my first amplifier here for a really good price and I love it. Steve is very knowledgeable about guitars and he even took some time to show me scales and now I'm mote experienced it all makes sense now!

High Desert Guitars is the place to go in Santa Fe for guitar repairs and sales. Friendly and knowledgeable, Steve Piersol is most definitely your Santa Fe guitar guy.

Steve is the guy to go to for any guitar repair. He fixed my seriously damaged bridge to perfection. He is also very generous with his time and helped me figure out the incompatibility between headset mic and amp. Excellent service and knowledge!

This is my favorite guitar store in the world. He has all kinds of killer vintage guitars for sale at good pricing. But what I really like is that he is a top notch guitar repair store. He has fixed my hollow body when I broke the head stock off. It is perfectly seamless and back to playing it full time. Fixed it for $75 which I thought was fair - Wil Burlin, Taos New Mexico
