From the reviews
Great spot! John set up my Strat perfectly, listened carefully to my needs, was super friendly and helpful and the fee was very reasonable. Incredible selection of guitars at all levels. Fret Mill is a regional treasure, we're lucky to have, take good care of it!
My experience was good, I asked to play prob 10+ guitars and the sales person was very helpful and patient. Eventually earning my business for a new d18 modern deluxe. It sounds great. I recommend them, he was patient woth my son too.
Alex down at Fret Mill Music did a great repair job on my new guitar which was delivered from Sweetwater all screwed up. I'm shopping for my next guitar at Fret Mill Music.
I went to the Fret Mill today as I've been kicking the idea around of trading up to a new Martin. John, and Mickey were both very helpful by letting me try the different guitars that appealed to me, noting the specific details of each one I tried.
Lessons at Fret Mill Music Co
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Fret Mill Music Co. 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.
