What's on the wall
“Just got a new acoustic bass guitar and I popped the string trying to tune it and they saved my baby.”
“They let me play a really nice Stratocaster from behind the counter and it was nice.”
“I just completed a trade for a bass cabinet and the entire process could not have gone more smoothly.”
“Really did a fantastic job helping me audition several amps and when i bought and brought one home I could hear a buzz/sizzle that I didn't notice while in the store.”
“They are really honest too, as I bought some used gear and thought the sticker said one price, but it was scribbled out and the real price was on another sticker.”
“Mike in repairs took care of my PRS acoustic in minutes.”
“Dan answered all my questions about drums, let me know they offer lessons and really told me all I need to know to get started.”

From the reviews
Mike in repairs took care of my PRS acoustic in minutes. These guys really know what they are doing. I left my Gibson Les Paul for a refinish and it turned out better than new. I’m adding photos to this review to show how well they did. The before and after photos are listed below and I couldn’t be happier.
Picked up a nice acoustic Alvarez with cedar top and a wonderful sound. Was looking for a finger picking acoustic instrument for some time, but this guitar, from the Elite Artist series really hit all boxes in my search: 1 and 3/4 inch neck, cedar top, cutaway in a nice and comfortable grand concert size, nice look…
My daughter London (15) takes weekly lessons at Hollywood Music Studio. London looks forward to the weekly lessons and learning how to play new, current, and classic music. London enjoys learning in private and always brags of how fun the lessons are.
Let me start off by saying that this place is iconic and has been a staple of the McKee's Rock's area for as long as I can remember. They have a great selection of guitars which is what I was looking to purchase for my boyfriend at the time. The guys working there are all knowledgeable and are more than happy to help.
Lessons at Hollowood Music & Sound Inc
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Hollowood Music & Sound Inc. 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.
