From the reviews
I am so thankful to have found Jon at Absolute Music. I am a trombone player from the Bay Area and my band was in town to play a weekend of shows.

Wow, what an amazing music shop. I was looking for a short term guitar rental while on vacation and did not think I would find one, but then I found out about Absolute Music.

My son’s double bass broke in December I contacted Absolute Music through their text number right away. It was after hours and I did not expect an answer until the next day. Within a half hour of sending the message I was contacted back with an estimated quote of how much it would cost to repair.
Lessons at Absolute Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Absolute Music. 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.
