From the reviews
Phil and Katherine were very kind, polite and engaging. There was an open mic night which as it turns out is every Thursday evening. Every single guitar was in tune and they sell both new and pre-owned instruments at very reasonable prices.
Wonderful place to start a musical journey. Lessons for all ages at all levels with diverse and friendly teachers. Guitars for sale across a wide range of prices. A great little auditorium in the back with a very good sound for intimate shows and a weekly open mic.
Excellent little music store and place for lessons The front desk woman was juggling a lot. She was helping me pick something out while introducing new students to their teachers. She did a great job! I bought an instrument and she was kind and attentive. Great service!
Awesome place for the new or experienced musician....great prices...lessons...repair work...open mic night...and the owner Phil is super friendly and a great guy...definitely worth your time to stop by and check it out
Lessons at Guitar Merchant
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Merchant. 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.
