In this episode of Guitar Search Saturdays, we’re at Troll Music in Venice, Florida! This isn’t just your average guitar shop—it’s been a staple in the community for over 30 years and doubles as a full-blown live music venue.
Join me as Larry gives us a personalized tour of the shop, the repair station, and their impressive performance space. We take a look at some killer new and used gear, including some boutique gems and affordable finds.
Troll Music - trollmusic.com
628 East Venice Ave.
Venice, FL. 34285
(941) 484-8765
Featured in this video:
Guitars: A mint 1960s Teisco (made in Japan), the "Official Troll Guitar," a beautiful Harmony LP style, and the Epiphone Casino (my personal favorite of the day!).
Amps: The Carr Rambler, Peavey ValveKing 100W, Laney VC30 (a blues player's dream), a vintage 1965 Fender Twin Reverb, and the boutique Magnatone Twilighter.
Pedals: Strymon Blue Sky, Boss DD-20, and a blast from the past—the Line 6 POD.
Inside Troll Music: We also get a behind-the-scenes look at their live venue, which hosts performers from all over (including Nashville!), and their repair shop where Larry and the team handle everything from refrets to 3D neck mapping.
Support the Series: Guitar Search Saturdays is unsponsored! If you’d like to support the show, check out the new T-shirts I designed. If you grab one, I’ll send you a personalized thank-you video message!
