From the reviews
Went in to look at guitars since I've been recently thinking of learning and the employees were very helpful. Gave me information about their in store guitar lessons and they let you sit and get a feel for the guitars. Planning to buy one from here next time I stop by.
Thank you for taking the time to allow my rising 6th grader the opportunity to hold and play all the Instruments. She had a great time trying to figure out which one she likes best. The staff was amazing and the instructors we could hear giving lessons were doing an amazing job.
I live an hour away so I called ahead to make sure they had what we were looking for. Got to the store and they were very nice. The staff pointed me in the right direction and gave suggestions. Most importantly I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.
Not the widest selection, but what they have is good quality and a good range of instrument types. I also appreciated the sales staff being helpful when needed, but not pushy or constantly underfoot (looking at you, Guitar Center).
Lessons at Music & Arts
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Music & Arts. 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.
