“Amazing service the staff knew everything i needed to know and was extremely polite they even helped me out picking my first acoustic guitar i will be back.”
“I also needed a new set of strings for an electric guitar I had just purchased from a local pawn shop.”
“I mostly go for the guitar accessories, and they have a better selection of pedals and such than Guitar Center which I really appreciate.”
“I will always come back to Carlton’s whether it’s for a repair or for any saxophone/music needs.”
“But I have to say AD, the electronics, amps and keyboard master has become a friend.”
“My girls loved the little shakers and kazoos we bought and I'll be back to get my violins restrung soon, since I found out they offer that service too!”

From the reviews
This will be my new music shop. Michael was great and the other employees were awesome as well. I came in and scooped up a Musicman Sterling and a little Fender Rumble and Michael got me all squared away with a nice deal and itll be pulled out of my account the first of every month and later yesterday afternoon i was…
Phenomenal shop for all of your music needs. I have frequented Carlton’s since I began playing music 15+ years ago. Recently, I had two professional saxophones repaired by James - the man is a legend, truly a class act! Anyone with an expensive horn knows how important it is to find someone you can trust.
If you are a Taylor enthusiast or mearly a music lover You must check this music store out. Marcus the Luthier is Silver Plus rated with Taylor. You will look long and hard for this kind of Expertise!!
My boyfriend purchased a guitar on a payment plan. The experience of dealing with different personnel was rewarding for both of us. He purchased a guitar case to place his guitar in and Alden wasn’t pleased with the light going off and on. Needless to say, he didn't stop until it worked correctly.
Lessons at Carlton Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Carlton Music Center. 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.
