From the reviews
I don’t ever do these reviews but after the last visit to Loud and Clear and had to. Went in looking for a used electric guitar for my son and after checking the inventory found a killer SG.
Big THANK YOU to Billy Garouette at Loud and Clear music in Cotati. While cleaning my 35-year old guitar, I broke the volume knob --- just slightly important when playing Van Halen tunes, like Cathedral and Romeo Delight.
I purchased a Mackie Quad EQ online from Loud And Clear Music and had to call them regarding shipping. Forrest was very helpful and courteous with assisting me with my order. The price, product, packaging, and shipping were all excellent. I am very happy with my order and thank you very much for a perfect transaction.
Very friendly staff. Well organized and clean. Bought guitar strings and they had a great selection
Selling or trading gear at Loud and Clear Music
Loud and Clear 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.
