What's on the wall
“Massive used collection downstairs can be a little intimidating but they have a great inventory system so you can ask for a specific title or artist and get an answer pretty quick.”
What players say again and again
“There is a customer service area down there where knowledgeable, kind staffers are waiting to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.”
From the reviews
Best record store in Madison (maybe in the state); this place never disappoints! They have an incredible inventory of vinyl records across all genres. There is something for everyone- and if they don't have something in stock they'll order it for you! The staff are incredible here especially Evan!
Had a lovely time at one of their listening parties a few weeks ago and the staff was so caring and kind! They put a wonderful event together and it was so special for them to give up their space for the night. Their collection is amazing and I can’t wait to go back the next time I’m in Madison.
Awesome record store. Incredible selection of new and used music. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve found my new music home.
Excellent selection of vinyl, tape, and CD. Knowledgeable staff, includes a curated selection of turntables, speakers, and receivers. Great local record store, and a go to for annual record store day festivities. Sells and buys used as well.
Selling or trading gear at Strictly Discs
Strictly Discs 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.
