From the reviews
My 14 teen year old has been asking for a guitar. He is left handed. We go to Guitar Center in San Ysidro. They have no left hand electric guitars and show us acoustic. We drive across town to la Mesa to a Guitar store and they have three used left hand electric guitars. Way out of our price range.
Fantastic, smaller location in Chula Vista. These guys only focus on quality musical instruments and the classics. I cannot say enough about the staff here and all the helpful information that they have to offer and recommendations they have...perfect.
I had my vintage Crestwood restrung and fully restored at Mark’s Guitar Shop, and the team’s attention to detail exceeded expectations once again. Jeff provided outstanding personalized service, going above and beyond to make us feel confident entrusting our prized family heirloom.
Highly recommend this shop!!! They have a great selection of instruments & product knowledge. They take the time to listen & help you find what you're looking for. Support your local shop's! We came in yesterday to look at guitars for our 7 year old daughter who is just learning & Jeff was absolutely amazing.
Lessons at Mark's Guitar Exchange
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Mark's Guitar Exchange. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
