Spaceman Guitars & Vinyl
Spaceman Guitars: Where Vinyl, Guitars, and Turntable Repairs Collide
If your ideal Saturday involves flipping through used vinyl, checking out vintage guitars, and talking music with someone who’s been repairing gear for decades, then you’ll probably enjoy a visit to Spaceman Guitars.
Located on West Colfax in Lakewood, Spaceman Guitars is one of those independent music shops that feels increasingly rare. It’s part guitar store, part repair shop, part vinyl destination, and part gathering place for people who simply love music. The shop was founded by Chris Thomas, who brought more than two decades of instrument repair experience to the business when it opened in 2015.
While guitars and amps are the main attraction, vinyl collectors shouldn’t overlook the record bins. The shop carries a rotating selection of used records, turntables, and other music-related treasures that reward frequent visits. Because inventory changes constantly, every trip feels a little different.
One thing that comes up repeatedly when people talk about Spaceman Guitars is the repair work. Whether it’s a guitar setup, restringing, amp repair, or even turntable service, the shop has built a loyal following among Denver-area musicians. Many customers describe it as the kind of place where you can actually talk to the person doing the work instead of dropping your gear at a big-box counter.
Vinyl enthusiasts have also taken notice. Local collectors have praised the shop’s used record selection and affordable pricing, with some even highlighting Spaceman’s occasional vinyl sales as hidden gems for bargain hunters.
The best way to describe Spaceman Guitars is that it feels like a neighborhood music clubhouse. You might walk in looking for a guitar string, discover a stack of records you’ve been hunting for, and leave with a conversation about turntables, tube amps, or your favorite obscure band.
That’s exactly the kind of place we like to spotlight.
