From the reviews

I was able to find South Shore through Reverb. The communication with Peter was excellent. He showed he cared about me as a customer and valued my business. He instilled a feeling of trust and that is important when buying online.

★★★★★ — Mike, Jun 2024

Employees do a really nice job helping you find the right guitar, but also keeping their distance and not being pushy. Website is also surprisingly fantastic. If the owner reads this, I really appreciate your online inventory and encourage you to keep it detailed because it'll bring in people from outside Quincy like…

★★★★★ — Tommy, Mar 2023

I've lived on the South Shore for over 20 years yet somehow never managed to go in to this store. Went into today for the very first time because I've been watching their webpage for a while and just saw a guitar become available that I was interested in (PRS Fiore).

★★★★★ — D, Mar 2022

Absolutely the best place, took my guitar in for setup and pickup did it in 1 day , they also did a few things I didn’t even know I needed, I have been going off and on for many years, don’t hesitate, Peter is the best, also they have the best guitar’s and basses anywhere, just seem so much better quality than others,…

Lessons at South Shore Music

Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at South Shore 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.
