What's on the wall
“Brought my looping pedal in with a messed up knob and Brent, I believe, was able to pry it back into place free of charge.”
“I have stopped by a few times for repair inquiries and recently made a small vintage gear purchase.”
“My equipment was thoroughly bench and live tested before Rogue purchased them, so I am sure any musician buying new or used gear will have no problem with their new instrument.”
“I brought my synth in for repair after bringing it to Main Drag Music where I was told it couldn’t be serviced.”

From the reviews
I’m a former sassy guitar store guy and when I’m on holiday I often like to check out a local music store to see how sassy they are. This place you have to buzz in which is a fantastic start on the sass-ometer, and true to form the guy seemed pissed off that he’d had to buzz me in and greeted me with silence when I…
Good shop with great people. "Big Ed" is a NYC legend and keeps his shop stocked with some pretty cool stuff. Rogue is a smaller place with a good amount of new and used gear. The knowledgeable staff of local musicians are very informative and seem grateful for your business.
I sold a few of my primo synths to Rogue and everyone was fair and fun. The shop itself is epic and filled with the coolest guitars, effects, synths, and PA. My equipment was thoroughly bench and live tested before Rogue purchased them, so I am sure any musician buying new or used gear will have no problem with their…
My first stop for all my guitar,amp and other repairs. What I like about Clay and his crew is…if they can’t do it, they know who can. Professional service always.
Selling or trading gear at Rogue Music
Rogue 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.
Lessons at Rogue Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Rogue Music. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
