First timer who received excellent customer service and assistance. Left with a beautiful red electric guitar for my kid and a really awesome wireless amplifier, harmonica and a guitar case. Give these guys your business! I will be back for sure!

Really thankful for Kirk taking his time with me. I am a beginner player and he asked me very helpful questions to make sure I got the type of guitar I wanted. He also played each type of guitar to show me the difference which was very helpful.

The best place in town for music lovers. The best staff, absolutely lovely tutors on the premises, a really solid selection of guitars/basses, plus the chance of the occasional oddity guitar coming through. Great deals, great service, great people, great music. What's not to love?

Friendly staff and great selection. Son has bought both of his Electric guitars from them and had repairs done there. They are very helpful with allowing you to try before you buy.
