Telluride Music Co.

Telluride Music Co. Musician owned and operated since 1992, Telluride Music Co. offers an extensive selection of high-quality new, used, and vintage stringed instruments.

Located at 8,750 feet elevation in the San Juan mountains, Telluride Music has been southwestern Colorado’s source for fine acoustic and electric instruments, products, and services for 25 years. We are honored to be a Marquis Dealer of C.F. Martin guitars, an Authorized Dealer of Collings guitars and mandolins, and an Authorized Dealer of Santa Cruz Guitars. With a showroom at 8,750 feet elevation, Telluride Music Co. may very well be the highest guitar shop in the world. Only two blocks from Lift #8 of the Telluride Ski Resort, we’re probably the only guitar shop in North America with a ski rack in the back. A short walk down the street from the Sheridan Opera House and Telluride Town Park (the venue for the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, the Ride Festival, Telluride Blues & Brews, and countless other top-shelf music events), we’re a shop accustomed to serving high-level talent, but at the same time, we take pride in putting the first instrument into a beginner’s hands. In an industry that is all too focused on big-box stores and high volume, we’re a low-traffic, small-town shop that focuses on attention to detail and expertise backed up by quality instruments.

Start the week off a brand new guitar from Iris Guitar Company !! This Iris WE is a boutique American-made orchestra model with an Adirondack Top, and somehow it comes in at only $3,050. From other builders, this spec starts at $6k (or involves a partnership with a Chinese brand). Hottest deal in the shop! 🥵 🚨 telluride

The Strat + Vox combo is such killer combo. Here’s a quick demo of the 4 and 2 out-of-phase positions. Great glassy cleans. GUITAR: 2019 Fender LE Am Pro Stratocaster with All-Rosewood neck AMP: Vox AC15C1 with a Celestion Greenback PICK: none

Get behind this 2020s Mule Resophonic Modest Mavis, and your inner cowboy will be stoked.

Another day. Another unboxing. If you can’t tell by now, we are big fans of what the team at Iris Guitars in Burlington, Vermont are doing, and it’s quite possible the DF Smeck is our favorite model. The upgraded All Black Adirondack Spruce top makes this guitar a force to be reckoned with in your local pickin’ circle.

Two things: 1) Telluride Music Company has to be the ultimate guitar shop destination. In the words of many people in our industry, “find another” shop with more breathtaking views. We won’t hold our breath. 2) check out today’s Guitar of The Day, a Collings 71 in Watson Green with a hand poured pickguard. Come see us.

Check out today’s guitar of the day. Typically, Paul Reed Smith’s get babied, but we love when a worn-in PRS walks in. This 2006 Paul Reed Smith McCarty comes with Seymour Duncan pickups and a ton of songs.
