Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. My daughter is just starting out learning the guitar. I bought her a beginner guitar online but wanted some better quality strings and from a nearby retailer and a quick search lead me to consumer music.

★★★★★ — J.C., Jul 2025

Excellent. Entered the store and told the proprietor that I used to play a little guitar decades ago and wanted to pick it back up as a hobby. Coming in with almost no real knowledge or memory. He showed me several models and price ranges, we discussed electric vs. acoustic, etc.

★★★★★ — No, Nov 2024

I had the pleasure of meeting Brad Sears and his team at Consumer Music during a special Open Mic event that included a recipient of A Wish of a Lifetime where the nice lady learned to play guitar and performed in front of a live audience. The music and setting at this location in Vallejo are fantastic.

Lessons at Consumer Music

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Consumer 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.
