From the reviews
So far, so good. Been searching for someone to install an acoustic pickup in my guitar. For me it's either Charlotte or Hickory. Made many calls and decided on Larry's. Super polite and friendly. By far the best price quoted to me. The guitar is in their hands. . . ... Three days later a pleased customer.
Larry's Music & Sound is awesome. They've got great customer service, an incredible array of instruments/gear, and a fantastic website. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone, and I plan on coming back again and again (despite the 1.5 hour drive). They're well worth it.
Had a very pleasant and worthwhile visit to Larry’s Music & Sound this week. Well worth the hour traveling to Hickory. Larry, himself, provided me with two excellent sounding and playable 12 string guitars to consider. I selected the Breedlove Pursuit made from sustainable Myrtle-wood.
What an incredible place. Larry’s has everything you need from instruments to sound equipment at a variety of price levels but without the fluff and junk of a corporate store. This is the only place I will take my instruments and amps to get worked on, both for the quality and turn around time.
Lessons at Larry's Music & Sound LLC
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Larry's Music & Sound LLC. 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.
