From the reviews
Staff is super helpful, nice inventory of new and used instruments, mostly guitars. Got a sweet guitar strap used for 15 bucks this time, bought my last guitar here as well. Worth a visit!
Really outstanding styles and colours.. Lots of room to look at things hanging. Knowledge staff.
Today, Hilton Music Center in New York received a call from a customer who had purchased a guitar from us in Portland, Oregon. As a new player, he wasn't sure, but noticed some buzzing on the neck of his instrument.
Amazing Variety & Outstanding Customer Service!” I had an excellent experience at this guitar shop! They have an incredible variety of guitars and accessories to suit every style and budget. The store owner was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to answer and very nice!
Selling or trading gear at Old Town Music
Old Town Music comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
