Guidotoons Studio

About the Studio

Guidotoons is also home to a fully equipped recording studio. All the modern necessities needed for a full service music production are available. The studio is a most suitable alternative to the "auto tuned and pitch corrected hee-haw" of Music Row, capable of recording anything from songwriter demos to master recording sessions.

Located in Brentwood, just ten minutes south of Nashville, Guidotoons boasts some very impressive gear and a casual, creative atmosphere. You're certain to find the right vibe for making any kind of music.

Along with some fabulous recording gear, we have an incredible vintage guitar collection alongside what certainly must be Nashville's only Buchla modular synthesizer. Keyboards galore, including a Yamaha Grand Piano, Fender Rhodes, Hohner D6 Clavinet, Moog Minimoog and Moog Voyager, Nord Electro 3 and a custom Euro Synth modular system, along with a very groovy vintage drum and cymbal complement, round out this very creative space.

While we're not a public studio, we are available for custom music projects. Disingenuous plop is not welcome here, but we'll listen to your quality art any time! Need to mix “outside the box” but don’t have a budget for the large rooms? Give us a holler!

Below is a partial list of all recording equipment and musical instruments in the studio. Please feel free to email Guido if you have any questions or would like more info.
