Inside Josh Gruss’ Round Hill Music Store, Which Sells Guitars, Vinyl & a ‘Welcoming’ Atmosphere
The Round Hill Music store in Greenwich sells guitars, vinyl and more. Owner Josh Gruss talks why he opened it and creating a "welcoming" atmosphere.
While the main focus is the high-end guitars and amps, we have something for everybody.” Beyond the above items, the store’s inventory includes sunglasses, rock ’n’ roll t-shirts, hand-made jean jackets, art for sale and even an ashtray. Case in point: a $20,000 replica of “Greeny,” a 1959 Les Paul Standard guitar named after its owner, Fleetwood Mac ’s Peter Green, who sold it to Thin Lizzy ’s Gary Moore and which eventually wound up with Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. Consequently, he says he wants the Round Hill Music store to be welcoming to all ages and hopes it will give young customers the opportunity to enjoy the same experience he had as a teenager at similar shops.
