Helping musicians sound their best since 1960
Est. 1960 · Trenton, New Jersey
Starting as a small business in 1960 off Lucy and Stephen Russo’s front porch in Trenton, New Jersey, Russo Music has always been at the heart of our community, and is still family-owned and operated to this day. Over the years, we’ve built long-time relationships with the top brands, and the boutique ones, providing the quality gear that musicians need to thrive creatively.
At Russo Music we take the utmost pride in providing our customers with the tools and services that carry them through their musical lives. Our team is as diverse as the musical communities we support, from the humble beginner to the Fretboard Olympian. We love and play guitars the same as you, whether you fiddle at home for fun or travel the world to shred on stage. Are you a modular synth patcher and knob twiddler sculpting that perfect sound? We’re on that wave. Getting looks from your neighbors when carrying in your drum set? Yeah, us too. If it’s musical, we’re totally in. Being in a band is cool. Not being in a band, also way cool. Whatever your vision is, we want to see it through with you.
Russo Music curates the finest selection of instruments and accessories. Our extensive, curated collection of top-tier instruments and gear (whether a big brand or an ambitious boutique) ensures every purchase is a great choice. Our partnerships with brands like Fender, Gibson, Taylor, and Martin mean you’ll find special editions and hard-to-find models. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro, we’ll help you find something exceptional.
Our crew of down-to-earth musicians is always ready to help. Whether you’re in-store or on our website, we’re here to share our knowledge gained from years of making music. No pretentious attitudes here, just friendly faces and helpful support to make sure you get what you need.
We know how priceless your gear is to you. When you purchase from us, our luthiers inspect and set up the guitar to ensure it’s in pristine condition, then package your items with extreme care, so that whether it’s picked up or shipped, you can be sure it arrives ready to rock.
