From the reviews
Knowledgeable friendly staff I drove over an hour to look @ a guitar and my experience was well worth the drive I was impressed with the large selection of gear and I'm very pleased with my purchase
Wow! What a nice store full of beautiful instruments. I was so impressed with the gentlemen working in there yesterday. My son and I stopped in to have a string fixed on his mandolin and the guys working in there were so cool and patient. They let my son play a couple different instruments and answered any questions.
Had some guitars to sell that hadn't been played for years. Older models in good shape. Went in and talked to Matt. Very knowledgeable and personable. We quickly made a deal. While I waited I perused the inventory and was very impressed. Great selection of vintage guitars.
Really cool store. They always have really cool and unique instruments to play that you won’t find at other generic guitar stores like guitar center. I’m a bass player and I’m especially appreciative of this place because it’s hard to find a place with unique bass selection like they do Staff is super nice and will…
Selling or trading gear at Picker's Supply Inc.
Picker's Supply Inc. 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.
Lessons at Picker's Supply Inc.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Picker's Supply Inc.. 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.
