Who we are
Welcome to Tone Tailors, your premier destination for all things guitar in the heart of Lancaster, PA! Tucked away at 617 N Prince St Suite C, we’re more than just a guitar shop – we’re a community hub for musicians, from seasoned pros to aspiring beginners.
When John LeClair and JP Painton originally started the shop, their vision was to create a unique, inviting environment brimming with resources to help musicians find the perfect gear. This dream truly took shape when Chad Taylor, founding guitarist for the band Live, came aboard to fine-tune a solid business plan, and with that, Tone Tailors was born. Today, the entire Tone Tailors team has grown to become a one-stop-shop for all things music production and live performing.
At Tone Tailors, we believe that finding the right instrument is a personal journey, and we’re passionate about helping you discover your perfect tone. Our curated selection boasts a wide array of high-end and boutique guitars, amplifiers, and pedals, alongside a fantastic assortment of quality used gear. We hand-pick every item, ensuring we offer instruments that inspire and truly sing.What truly sets us apart is our dedication to our customers.
