From the reviews
My Son takes Drum lessons with Bill Shirk and loves it. Friends and neighbors notices the improvement. We also purchases a nice set from Mike. Great price and service.
In this store I get the best deal in the world for the items I bought. This is not an exaggeration, I do looked for those items even in UK and China, and Mike was able to gave me the best deal. I want to address some of the reviews about this store here. Before doing my purchase I visited this store 3 times.
Having spent hours and hours at three Guitar Centers in the Atlanta area, plus hours more on various websites looking for an acoustic drum set, I accidentally came across AME on google, and called them to see what used sets they had in stock.
I have an antique Japanese shamisen (looks like a skinny banjo) that needed refurbishing -- new skins, new strings, tightening of joints, etc. I brought it to Mike at Atlanta Musicians Exchange, and he found a specialist to work on it. The results were amazing!
Selling or trading gear at Atlanta Musicians Exchange
Atlanta Musicians Exchange comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Atlanta Musicians Exchange
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Atlanta Musicians Exchange. 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.
