From the reviews
I'm a life time customer and that's saying something because I'm old. Their prices are exactly what you'd find online but the place is staffed by super nice, very talented people you can trust not to over sell you a bunch of gear. I took guitar lessons here when I was 12.
Asked them to swap out my pickups and fix a broken volume knob I had on my bass, they were able to do the upgrades even though the internal electronics needed to be completely redone but I like how I was able to choose exactly what I wanted to do, and with a full setup at a great price!
I've been putting off taking my old baritone ukulele in, thinking it needed new tuners due to slipping. The young man, who seems to always be there, took one look, said the way I wound the strings may be the problem. He re-wound them, and no more slips!

Lessons at Modern Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Modern Music. 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.
