From the reviews
I'm a seasoned drummer. They had exactly what I needed. Friendly and family owned. They seem willing or get what you need. Very knowledgable. Can't wait for them to start selling Zildjian cymbals. I'll be going here anytime I can, no more guitar center for me.
With online retailers taking over, it's increasingly difficult to find locally owned shops like this. This is a family business and they provide excellent customer service, doing everything they can to provide the best experience. They stock some great gear-Orange amps, schecter guitars, mxr pedals...
Great place to shop if you want to avoid the impersonality of Guitar Center. Pete and Matt are really helpful and their prices are way reasonable. They are the bestest!
Great family owned business dedicated to getting what the customer needs. Great turn around on items not in store. Want to learn to play an instrument, well this is also your place. They also help improve the musician in you and price on lessons are affordable.
Lessons at Music Depot
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Music Depot. 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.
