Charters Guitars is located downtown Kalamazoo and serves as Ry’s workshop and a small music store offering various guitars, pedals, accessories, and events.

The shop will be open Friday 11-7 and Saturday 10-2 through the holiday season. We’ll also be open late on Dec 12th for the “Moonlight Madness” downtown shopping event, the Holiday Parade Nov 22, and Nov 29 for “Small Business Saturday”.

I am not accepting any new restorations or repairs until March of 2026. If you have a unique restoration project, please email to see about future availability.
