What players say again and again

From the reviews
I have been going to this store for a decade now, for both the lessons and services they offer. The staff has always been friendly and helpful which keeps me returning for supplies and guitar upgrades.
I went in for new strings for my bass as well as adjustments that I needed and received great service. Not only did the tech do great work on my instrument, but I was also able to return two more times for minor adjustments until it was PERFECT! It now plays better than I could have ever thought it could!
Max Mendiola the guitar tech for MelHart is amazing at his job man. I'm always left amazed and astounded by the quality of his work. I very thankful we have such a talented individual in the RGV. Highly recommend!
I have several guitars, all with good setups. I took my favorite 20 year old Strat to Max for him to work his magic that I have heard so much about. I don't know what I was waiting for because I was NOT disappointed.
Lessons at Melhart Music Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Melhart Music Center. 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.
