From the reviews
Really fantastic store. The staff is so helpful and knowledgable. Helpful not pushy. The other day was the second time I have purchased pedals from this store. Every time I am there the staff are so great.
Walked in because we were in the area and they looked open. They were just working, by the man asked what we were interested in... Despite being closed, he showed us a really nice new guitar and had my sweetie go into the sound room and try it out.
Recently purchased a PRS through these guys from across the country. Excellent inventory of wood library guitars, and quite a few with the exact specs I wanted. They were quick to communicate and coordinated to ship the guitar around my travel schedule.
I went in for the first time today. Sometimes a record shop speaks to you and this one did to me. It's a bit small, but their selection really matched my varied tastes. Good prices, nice staff, and to me, easily the best record shop that I've been to west of Seattle.
Selling or trading gear at Quimper Sound Records and Guitars
Quimper Sound Records and Guitars 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.
