What a nice store with great people! I was attended to almost immediately and guided to everything I needed. The woman helping me was very kind and knowledgeable! The prices are also great with a wide selection of product. They also offer lessons if you're looking to learn! I highly recommend them.

Excellent experience. They were very helpful in explaining the differences between the guitars and got me one that fits my needs. He didn’t try to oversell me or get me to buy anything extra. I would recommend this shop to anybody in the market for instruments!

Not only was she intelligent and knowledgeable. She made sure I made a informed decision on the guitar I bought as a newbie beginner. Not knowing anything, she made sure I got a decent instrument with the correct gear. Well done.

These guys are awesome. Got an amp there a couple of weeks ago and they were very friendly and helpful. Took my guitar in today and they straightened/adjusted the neck and changed the strings. Got me all fixed up. Great service and friendly, Love this store.

The staff here have been wonderful, from a plc kit we rented over the past three years to a recent drum kit we purchased. Misty was able to locate exactly what we wanted and had it shipped to the store within days! Absolutely fantastic and the personal touch that used to be common place. 100% recommended for all your musical needs!
