From the reviews
I brought in my Grandpa's guitar that was handed down to me after my Dad passed. It had been in the family over 70 years. It was so badly destroyed Kurt Cobain and Pete Townsend couldn’t have done worse even if they tagged teamed it. Wasn’t even a guitar at that point, more a pile of firewood kindling.
Great place to buy an instrument, get yours fixed or learn music. My children, my husband and I all have classes there and it’s amazing. Teachers are very professional. The staff are very knowledgeable and polite. They have books, new and gently used instruments. Awsome!
This is my first review, but I’ve been coming here since I started playing guitar and I always get taken care of. Carl has worked on several of my guitars; from basic setups to pickup installation he is truly a master of his craft.
🎼KING MUSIC has been my go to music store when i lived there. Randy and David always took great care of me and the bands i was playing in. Bootleg had all our equipment stolen and Randy and Dave came to the rescue. Recently renewed my relationship with King Music.
Lessons at King Music Inc
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at King Music 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.
