From the reviews
During this Virus Lock Down and sitting home in NJ playing guitar, I decided to buy a new guitar. I searched for the dealer's carrying the guitar I wanted and came upon "A Sound Choice". How lucky I was to come upon such a wonderful experience. Working with Ken, the store's owner was a pleasure.

I've never played before he was great and I feel confident already. Store has multiple musical instruments in it with all ranges of price. They also modify and repair instruments.
Nice shop ! great selection of guitars and bass. Ken (owner) is very knowledgeable . Nice guy as well. I have had multiple guitars set up by Ken, he does a great job with setups and repairs/installations. I highly recommend him. Support local businesses. If you are a guitar player/musician you will like this shop.

Lessons at A Sound Choice
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at A Sound Choice. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
