About the Studio

Guidotoons is also home to a fully equipped recording studio. Lots of classic recording equipment with all the modern necessities needed for a full service music production is available. The studio is a most suitable alternative to the "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 largest modular synthesizer. Keyboards galore, including a Yamaha Grand Piano and a Hammond B-3 organ, along with a 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 recording sessions. Disingenuous plop is not welcome here, but we'll listen to your quality art any time!

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