From the reviews
I'm a professional musician and have been in lots of music shops all over the country through the years. This place stands out. The owner Todd is a super genuine and great dude with lots of good information, in addition to an excellent stock of guitars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Athens Music Academy is the true definition of a mom-and-pop gem. This place is overflowing with heart! You can find everything here — from unique pedals to fun and quirky instruments, reliable repairs, and even lessons taught by the friendliest and most knowledgeable people in town.
It's a small store, so of course the selection is limited. But the people are great, and my sons are enjoying the heck out of their music lessons. Will and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and some minor repairs done on my Squire II Strat were done quickly and at a reasonable price.
Amazing customer service! We were looking for a beginner guitar. Brian was so kind to my grandson who is beginning to show interest in learning to play guitar. He took the time to visit with us and he even gave my grandson an impromptu mini lesson which was so very helpful and really encouraged my grandson.
Lessons at Athens Music Academy
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Athens Music Academy. 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.
