What's on the wall
“Roger was so knowledgeable & helpful in guiding my 14 year old in choosing an electric guitar that suits her perfectly.”
“We were left on our own to try out guitars and my son left with the perfect bass for him at an amazing price!”
“I'm a pedal nerd & enjoy their used selection, they usually have some decent used guitars and they have a larger selection of newer guitars than I've seen in most places.”

“But I bought what I thought was a good PA set up but I cannot get it to sound good (vocals sound muffled and not loud enough) so if anyone has any suggestions… much appreciated”
“Called in and inquired about their snare drum selection and was quickly, and politely, given a wide selection.”

From the reviews
This is the 2nd instrument we have purchased from here and as always great customer service! Everyone greeted us as we walked in and was eager to help us but without any pressure. We were left on our own to try out guitars and my son left with the perfect bass for him at an amazing price!
Matt was exceptional with my son who was buying his first electric guitar. Matt set multiple different guitars out and allowed him to play each one and explained the differences before he made his decision. Thanks C.A. House Music!
Amazing experience with CA House Music! I ordered a guitar online but ended up getting an email that there was a glitch and the guitar I ordered actually wasn't available.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by an employee, who then took us directly where we needed to go. He gave us a few moments to look around. Since the focus was on our son and purchasing a guitar, he spoke directly to him, helped him look and choose an option, and treated him like he was the most important…
Selling or trading gear at C. A. House Music
C. A. House 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 C. A. House Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at C. A. House 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.
