What's on the wall
“went there to check what they had in stock and to sell/trade an acoustic for an electric.”
“I bought my first electric from them, and they were able to answer all of my technical questions about pickups, electronics, amps, all of it.”

From the reviews
I had been planning on restoring my vintage 80's Ibanez Roadstar II (Lefty) Guitar for many years. Since this classic guitar was so special to me, I was very careful as to the craftsman that I would decide to work with on this project.
Great music store! Everybody is super helpful and friendly there. A friend of mine who also used to work there Bill recommended the place and I’m glad he did. They have great prices on their guitars and a nice selection of new and used.
My son started guitar a few years ago, we bought him a junk guitar from Amazon and signed him up for lessons. A few months went by, and the passion died. Recently, after attending a rock concert, he began to fall in love with the guitar again and wanted one for Christmas.
THE BEST GUITAR BUYING EXPERIENCE! Carlos, the owner, provided some of best customer service I have had. He took his time to help me find the perfect guitar that fit my budget with the perfect sound. I got to try a variety of guitars and even got a short guitar lesson while I was there.
