From the reviews
A great selection of vinyl and guitars all set at affordable prices. Bought my first guitar from here a few years ago and have enjoy going back to the store to browse vinyl and check out new guitars, amps, and pedals.
This is a great little guitar store that also sells used records and CDs. They set up one of my guitars and Dan was great--he's very professional and he actually cares about doing a good job.
It’s a store with great guitars and more. Before your show get geared up and go. I recommend this place for their knowledgeable service with a friendly face. Avoid the crowded mall cause this place has it all.
The best place for vintage gear! Guitars basses amps custom pedals... It's also an amazing record store!
Selling or trading gear at Revolution Music Company
Revolution Music Company 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 Revolution Music Company
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Revolution Music Company. 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.
