From the reviews
Got my first guitar and amp here. Happy with the quality, service, and knowledge. Also taking weekly lessons. Great rates and times available. Recommend them highly
I have been visiting Offbeat and have been getting advice and equipment from Jim for over 20 years. I love their selection of musical instruments and peripherals and they have an incredible repair facility. This past weekend I had a gig in Highland Park and brought my Strat in for a tune up and new strings.
Went in yesterday to check out some guitars.Very comfortable and cool atmosphere. Nick greeted me and took the time to go over different options (Electric Guitars) comparing the brands and different styles. I finally found the one I liked most that was within my budget and with great sound.
Nice small music shop, very organized. They have some instruments (mostly guitars). They also offer music lessons, my daughter just started piano lessons with James Lyons and he was great. I was skeptical that she would like piano lessons but he made it very enjoyable and fun for her.
Lessons at Offbeat Music Store
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Offbeat Music Store. 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.
