From the reviews

Just left the store with my new guitar! I'm a beginner and couldn't play a lick. Derrick and Robby were exceptionally cool to me and took the time to explain a few things to get me going.

★★★★★ — Mackinley, Dec 2018

I love this music store! The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly. They have a great selection of books, instruments, and equipment in stock. Even when I am looking for a one off item they are always willing and able to help me find it. I recommend them to all my customers and friends.

★★★★★ — Karen, Oct 2017

Traveled down for the winter and left all of my guitars at home. Decided I couldn’t go all winter without one so I went to Island Music and bought a Fender FA235e. They switched the strings to extra light for me and adjusted the action. This guitar plays great. I had a very good experience.
