From the reviews
By far my favorite guitar shop that i’ve been to. The variety of instruments and services astounded me. Addison is super kind and patient with his customers. He also has years of experience playing guitar so I trust him with any advice he gives.
Wonderful staff and owner, and a pleasure to do business with. I got my new to me Taylor from these guys and I couldn't be happier. Professional from start to finish and I really can't say enough about them. Do yourself a favor and give Gray dog Guitars a visit, you won't regret doing business with them!
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I went in asking for a recommendation on strings for a particular guitar, and the owner gave the whole rundown on what to expect from each option. Even without that, it's the best local guitar shop I've ever visited, hands down. Great prices on strings, as well.
addison and nick are super cool. make sure to buy all your guitars and gear here. they’re both swell musicians and know what they heck they’re talking about.
Selling or trading gear at Gray Dog Music
Gray Dog 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 Gray Dog Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Gray Dog 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.
