Meet the Business Owner

Tommy C.

Business Owner

Tommy Colletti is a native New Yorker who grew up during the rock and roll heyday of the 1970s and ‘80s. As anyone who has heard Tommy plug into an amp will tell you, he has done his homework on the guitar and is a bona fide player. Tommy can shred. Playing in a successful local New York band in the early ‘80s Tommy developed a reputation for being an exciting young guitarist, but also a guitar collector and gearhead. Back then, he was already the «go-​to» guy for guitarists in the community when they needed to find just the right guitar.

Today, Tommy still maintains all the community relationships that sustained The Music Zoo in those early days, but also has to find time to do bigger things like travel to Scottsdale, Arizona to discuss details of the next run of Music Zoo-​exclusive Fender® and Charvel® guitars, or down to Nashville to pick out Mahogany and Maple tonewoods to be used on Gibson Custom Shop Les Pauls for The Music Zoo’s customers.
