From the reviews
Prices are great, service is top notch. Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Not just a music store. Lessons are also available. This is what your local music store should be like. A++.
I’ve been coming to this place for years, and my band mates and I owe a lot to this place. They helped our band get started practically. They’re deals on instruments/equipment are the best around. The staff are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Great selection of gear and equipment as well.
Great place my kids love it nice quality and quantity of instruments very helpful staff.
Great selection of many kinds of instruments, specializing in guitars. Larry is one of the nicest guys you'll meet. Couldn't recommend it more.
Lessons at Backstreet Music Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Backstreet Music Shop. 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.
