From the reviews
Matt is super knowledgeable and just fun to chat with. He let me try out an SE Silver Sky and it was already set up perfectly! I told him I’d have to think about it, but within a day I knew I wanted it.
As a newly aspiring bassist, I brought my first (very cheap) bass here for a set up. What I got back felt like a huge upgrade. Matt was wicked easy to talk to, shared some knowledge with me, and I walked away feeling like I should have come here first to buy (instead of a cheapest thing I could find online).
This place is PHENOMENAL! I've had rough experiences with Guitar Center and have been putting small businesses first. The owner, their receptionist, and every single one of the teachers are incredible, I have only engaged with one and I am going to be here for life!
Loved my experience at E.L. Music! They were very patient, understanding, and had great recommendations! Not to mention, they seem to prioritize the needs of their customers; going out of their way to get to know you and your needs.
Lessons at E.L. Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at E.L. 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.
