From the reviews
Shortly after buying a used acoustic/electric the guitar started to buzz playing on the second fret of the b string. I brought it to them, got the guitar back sooner than quoted, and it holds tune now better than any guitar I’ve ever owned.
Plum Grove is AMAZING! We purchased a violin for my daughter 2 years ago and now are doing their rent-to-own on a saxophone for my son. They have beautiful, quality instruments and such knowledgeable staff. Next year we will be getting a french horn for our youngest daughter. I will ONLY go to Plum Grove!!
I highly recommend Plum Grove Strings for all your music needs! Whether you are looking for a great teacher or the perfect instrument, Plum Grove Strings is the place to go. I purchased a violin from them several years ago and I was super happy with the customer service, as well as the quality of the instrument.
Great selection of violins and customer service that is second to none! Rick Thacker and staff helped our daughter pick out the perfect sounding violin at a great price. He continues to amaze us with his knowledge of string instruments and his ability to keep them sounding their best.
Selling or trading gear at Plum Grove Music
Plum Grove 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.
Lessons at Plum Grove Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Plum Grove Music. 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.
