From the reviews
I'd like to share an experience I had recently at Don's. I'm in the social work field and work with a young man who is coping with mental health concerns and physical disfigurement. He loves music and wants to learn guitar. I had an old guitar and cleaned it up, but needed strings. I went to Don's (where else?
Don has been doing my maintenance and repair work on my fleet of axes for years, and has consistently done nice work at a fair price, and often has gotten me a same day or next day turnaround. Has also been fair in negotiations on gear. Can't recommend this establishment highly enough!
Don’s Guitars is the best place to buy a guitar, take lessons, or get a guitar repaired in this area. The staff is great. They’re all very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Chris, who teaches my guitar lessons, is an incredible guitarist and excellent teacher.
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience at Don's! Not only was Don a friendly and knowledgeable guy but Parker who handled my purchase was very personable and a "straight shooter" when it comes to negotiation of price.
Lessons at Don's Guitars
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Don's Guitars. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
