From the reviews
Passing through Nashville on a business trip, and had an afternoon to go see some great guitars. I've been to Gruhn's a couple of times, so I wanted to see the competition, and Fanny's didn't let me down. Its much smaller, but they have some really beautiful instruments. My favorite was a very rare Martin.
Such a gorgeous music shop celebrating women in music in its every nook and cranny🩵. Spent a part of my afternoon checking out the shop. They have beautiful selection of acoustic as well as electric guitars, banjos, ukuleles, basses and a small but helpful workable selection of amps and accessories.
I love this place! Come back whenever I am in Nashville! Nice, well-considered selection of vintage guitars, steel guitars and basses, along with assorted paraphernalia. I'm a bass player, and I love what they carry. I've not bought one yet, but that is just a matter of time.
Incredibly cute and unique store with a great blend of vintage instruments and modern, and all price ranges along with the vintage clothing store set in a picturesque renovated older home. Just an absolute vibe to be there with incredibly kind and helpful staff
Selling or trading gear at Fanny's House of Music
Fanny's House of Music 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 Fanny's House of Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Fanny's House of 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
