From the reviews
Asked for a decent used acoustic guitar under $100. Got one with new strings for $30. Couldn't ask for a better place to shop! Great price in strings and they have a great selection to choose from. Def a five star store.
I have done business with Jeff Firestone for 10 years. He errs on the side of treating customers too well.He has never "cheated" anyone on a deal. I would buy anything, at anytime from Jeff(and plan to do so) with complete confidence. I traded in a VOX AC15 amp cab(being used as a speaker cab) the other day.
Fantastic service. I’m new to the guitar world and found my first electric here for a very good deal. Emailed a question I had about a repair and got a response within the hour. Absolutely worth checking out.
Great store with a wide selection and a staff of very knowledgeable people. I buy all my guitars and music stuff here, also any repairs
Selling or trading gear at Retro Music
Retro 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.
