From the reviews

I've been playing many years. Tried all the luthiers in SE WI, I put musicology right at the top of the list. I had two Ibanez guitars that needed repair. Got them back and they were repaired PERFECTLY! To the point where I turned around and played a gig with one of them right after I picked it up.

★★★★★ — Chris, Jan 2023

My kid has been taking piano lessons here for over a year and it definitely shows. I get all my guitar essentials here, and had my flute repaired through the shop. It is my hometown go to music place. Couldn't ask for better. Every employee is nice, the owner is helpful, honest, and kind.

★★★★★ — Ch1, May 2022

Excellent service and excellent at Guitar modding. Joel is amazing at modifying and setting up your guitar. Very happy with the service at a fair price. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ — Ben, Apr 2023

Found this place by chance, when visiting from Virginia. After leaving a neighboring business, I stopped in before going back to my vehicle. A great decision on my part.

Lessons at Musicology

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Musicology. 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.
