What's on the wall
“They make modifications on the spot and treat your gear as their own, my stingray bass plays better than it ever has - and I can say the same about my American Strat!”

From the reviews
Currier's is a Richmond landmark. Kathy is undoubtedly one the top luthiers in the entire world. Mary Lou is always friendly and helpful. I like to just hang around sometimes. The guitar selection is huge, plus other instruments and every possible accessory.
I recently purchased a French horn, after not playing one for nearly 45 years. When I received it, the valves needed restringing and I had no idea where to ask for help. I contacted Currier’s Music World and Cathy said she would be glad to do it.
This store is awesome! The people who run it are seasoned musicians and they know their stuff! The repair work is spot on and inexpensive. The advice is well worth listening to.

Selling or trading gear at Currier's Music World
Currier's Music World 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 Currier's Music World
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Currier's Music World. 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.
