★★★★★ — Brady, Sep 2018

I have bought 3 instruments here and am very happy with them. Good pricing and selection and the two guitars I bought are very high quality for their price point. They honestly both look, feel, and play like and intrument in the $1k+ range even though they were less than half of that.

★★★★★ — Kirk, Apr 2018

I don't know if I just went there on a bad day but I needed some guitar strings and I have run the same ones for years. I went in there an the guy working there told me that my favorite strings aren't any good and refused to sell me them and had me buy the ones that he liked.

Lessons at Direct Music Source

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Direct Music Source. 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.
