Rudy’s Music Shop—Guitarists’ Pick Who loves a guitar solo more than Rudy’s? Guitar-lovers of all walks of life will find an outlet to express their admiration of the string instrument at Rudy’s Music Shop in Manhattan. This SoHo—the neighborhood South of Houston Street—guitar shop at 461 Broome Street is an oasis for all music fans, with an eclectic collection of over 100 vintage handmade acoustic and electric guitar models. The owner, Rudy Pensa, fell in love with guitars as a seven-year-old growing up in Argentina listening to music icons like The Beatles. Upon moving to New York, Rudy jumped on the chance to set up shop on New York City’s famed Music Row: 48th Street. Since 1978, Rudy has been inviting guitar-enthusiasts like himself into his music shop as a sort of congregation of guitarists. You’ll understand why Rudy’s has become a must-go spot in the music community as soon as you enter. Arrive at Rudy’s and you’ll step into an atmosphere of dedicated, welcoming staff and fellow guitarists eager to accommodate you, whether you’re an amateur or an expert of the guitar. From beginners choosing their first picks to guitar legends like Mick Jagger and John Mayer, Rudy’s has something for anyone with a passion for the guitar.
