Eclectric Music + Audio

It’s quite refreshing to see a new music store in downtown Hamilton; the alternative being Payne’s music, where you’re quickly and quietly ushered out the door for the mere mention of playing an electric guitar.
Walking into Eclectric Audio, you immediately encounter several musical gems on racks or display cases. For my visit, there was a very nice Gibson Les Paul, and a Nord Lead 2ex that caught my eye. On the other wall, you’ll find quite an array of old (read: vintage) turntables and amplifiers.
In addition to sales, the owner Jon also does repair work on instruments, electronics and amplifiers. Very knowledgeable and friendly, Jon was able to diagnose the problem with my amplifier over the phone before even bringing it in. Service was fast, inexpensive, and fully explained.
I’ve found my new shop for gear and repairs!
