What's on the wall
“He even did regular tune ups to my guitar such as restringing or adjusting the action or neck as I grew up and started playing in bands.”
From the reviews
I went to Tony as a young, eager student looking to learn guitar at the age of 14. He is an insanely talented musician and an even better teacher. Tony has so many skills and a natural ability to share and build the same in everyone he works with.
Selling or trading gear at Main Music Shoppe
Main Music Shoppe 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.
Lessons at Main Music Shoppe
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Main Music Shoppe. 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.
