From the reviews
The people at Bedrossian are extremely nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I've taken lessons there, along with one of my kids, and each teacher was excellent to work with and open to adjusting scheduling whenever possible.
Completely brought back to life my 1978 Martin D35. Repaired two broken tuners, straightened the neck, removed and replaced old curled pic guard, cleaned and polished the body and frets and found a old case in terrific condition for the guitar. All for very reasonable price. The workmanship was A+. Highly recommend.
This place is great! I've rented and purchased items from this store and every experience and interaction I have had here has been truly wonderful. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking to purchase or rent musical instruments!
This is by far one of the best music shops the gentleman that owns the store went out of his way on a day his store was closed so I could purchase of flip book and lyre for my daughter's saxophone so she could march in the Memorial Day parade mind you I called several different stores and no one even had any lyres in…
Selling or trading gear at Bedrossian Music
Bedrossian Music 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 Bedrossian Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Bedrossian 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.
