We take you inside 8th Avenue Guitar Works, a creative, collaborative space for guitarists of all levels looking to find the perfect tone.
Brought to you by the Founders of MIRC, Musical Instrument Reclamation Company, Jason Gano CEO, and Natalie Kyriakoudis, CFO of MIRC LLC.
We had the opportunity to speak with Jason and Natalie about MIRC, LLC, which has built a reputation for scale, trust, and professionalism in the secondary and refurbished guitar market.
Refurbishing more than 30,000 guitars annually from over 100 brands, MIRC has long served as the guitar industry’s sustainability partner in the Nashville area, keeping thousands of instruments out of landfills and in the hands of players every year.
Many musicians are already familiar with MIRC through Franklin Guitar Works, the company’s online storefronts but this is the 1st Brick and mortar space for the company.
From pickup upgrades and custom painted bodies, to fully finished refurbished instruments, they have something for everyone.
They just opened in the Berry Hill area of Nashville and the store is fantastic!!
You need to go check them out. We got to find out the inspiration for the store and see it in person.
We love that you can pick up the guitars and play and also grab a cup of coffee and hang out!
This is truly a one of a kind experience and not your typical guitar store. It is about community, learning, and sharing!
8th Avenue Guitar Works provides a hands-on environment where musicians can explore tone, craftsmanship, and customization.

The space brings MIRC’s renowned refurbishment process directly to the public, allowing players to see, feel, and hear what sets a thoughtfully refurbished instrument apart.
They even have on site technicians so you can watch them in action.
