From the reviews
I have bought some great gear for great prices. I have been bringing my guitars here to have work done on them for a couple years now. Everyone here is very helpful and knowledgeable. Plus you don't have to deal with the snooty a$$ people at guitar center.
Shreveport Music is BY FAR the best Music Store around. All of the staff has been nothing but incredibly helpful and any time I have ever had a question they have been able to help me. Don is the best of them all in my opinion. He has a surplus of knowledge and is able to fix anything he puts his hands on.
Just got back into playing and needed a full set up with lighter gauge strings. The guys here were super awesome to talk to and Phillip the luthier is super helpful. So nice to work with a local business instead of the big box store. If you need work done on your guitar this is the place to go.
Being a bass player, I can say Shreveport Music has one of the absolute best selections of bass amps I’ve ever seen in a store. Awesome, friendly staff. Everyone is well versed to help any need you may have!
Selling or trading gear at Shreveport Music Co
Shreveport Music Co 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 Shreveport Music Co
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Shreveport Music Co. 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.
