★★★★★ — Will, Mar 2019

Rocket music is my go to dealer for DR strings, G&L basses, and any other items I need! Customer service is top notch and they are always fast to ship things or answer questions. The best!!

I was looking to purchase a Yamaha FS820 and found the pricing on Rocket Music was the best. As I live in Florida, I was hesitant ordering online and having a guitar delivered, I.e., I would have preferred to go directly to the store to buy it.

★★★★★ — Bob, Nov 2025

Over the years, I have probably made a dozen or so high-end purchases with Rocket Music. Dan has always been extremely professional and knowledgeble about the brands he carries. On several occasions he has proven invaluable to obtaining the exact gear I'm looking to buy.
