From the reviews
I went to find a 3/4 size acoustic for my daughter and was pleased with the large selection of guitars available. The staff was super friendly and they encouraged me to try out everything.
Eddie and his staff are excellent. Extremely knowledgeable about his products, services, etc.. Awesome tune-ups, re-stringing, maintenance and rehab of guitars. Straight shooter with no pressure sales. Nice, store, nice selection, and will order what you need if he doesn't have it.
So glad this shop is in Wilson! It is a gem! Super helpful and kind staff. Great selection for both new and experienced musicians. I believe they offer lessons. Well lit, well organized store. Clean and tidy. Conveniently placed stools to sit and try out the guitars.
The Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Great customer service and very reasonable prices. Usually has what we are looking for, and if not they help us locate it.
Lessons at Fat Cat Music & Sound
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Fat Cat Music & Sound. 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.
