From the reviews
Great place, low pressure and very knowledgeable sales guy. I have been a guitar player for many years, looking to play a little bass since, my latest jamming buddies all play 6 strings. The sales guy happened to be a bass player, nothing but helpful, set me up with a nice bass and amp for a fair price.
Don't be deceived by this easy to drive by location. They have a huge compliment of instruments and equipment, from accessories to violins and friendly, helpful staff. You may enter and find yourself wandering around the store for a while!
You ever go into a store and it just feels like an experience instead of a process? That's what this place is like. Incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, the staff makes you feel at home and at ease. The store has a huge selection of instruments, gear and accessories. It is very clean and orderly.
All the guys here are very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They have a nice selection of guitars. I had been in the market for my first acoustic, then I played some of the Breedloves they had and had to buy one. Discovery S CE in all African Mahogany!
Lessons at Musician's 1st Choice
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Musician's 1st Choice. 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.
