From the reviews
Been playing guitar for 30+ years and went in looking for an inexpensive acoustic to play around the firepit. An associate handed me a Cort (not a high end guitar) and I immediately liked the feel and sound. I lowered the action when I got home and honestly it plays as well as my Gibson Les Paul.
Counter staff are polite and friendly. Always willing to help out and answer any questions. Fair prices on the inventory in store and if there is something specific you are looking for that they do not carry they will order it for you. The teachers are very nice. Even offer lessons to adults.
Had my first visit here. Nice shop, great staff. I would recommend anyone in the area to visit. They got everything from yukes, electric guitars, bass guitars, acoustics, drums ect. I ended up buying a cort bass guitar which had a good feel to it, and it plays great as well.
I teach guitar lessons there, M-W and raise the awareness level of students who aspire to play and read proficiently, as well as reach their personal musical goals 😊
Selling or trading gear at Central Penn Music
Central Penn 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 Central Penn Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Central Penn 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.
