What's on the wall
“I have a older acoustic model Takamine guitar which plays so sweet, but alas, with time the electronics on the internal pickup failed.”
“These guys know their equipment and instruments and always had an answer for me when I purchased a full electric guitar setup.”
“I bought a Fender Telecaster, a Blackstar tube amp, a Fishman vocal amp, and two mics and stands.”
“I tried going to other repair shops to get it fixed but I was told that the item was out of stock, not made anymore and not available anywhere.”
“My daughter attends weekly violin lessons and the staff knows my family (and dog) on a first name basis.”

From the reviews
Love the community feel of this little music shop. My daughter attends weekly violin lessons and the staff knows my family (and dog) on a first name basis. Not the lowest prices in town but some of the friendliest faces that you'll do your musical business with.
Went in to get a new guitar. The young man behind the counter, James, was very helpful and polite. Guitar, drums, piano, horns. They have just about everything. Please give them a try before going to guitar center!
Best music store. Got my art&lutherie acoustic here. Took guitar lessons here from john, drew, and one other. Much better than Guitar Center.
My son took guitar lessons from Musicians Supply for several years! He had a wonderful teacher and still plays every day!
Lessons at Musician Supply
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Musician Supply. 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.
