From the reviews
A true guitar lover's dream store. Funky, exciting and fun. Packed floor to ceiling with used inventory of guitars and amps of various makes and models with just the right amount of used broken-in character. This place is genuine and could never be duplicated. Let the music play on, forever...
Robin is muy simpatico! I couldn't remember my venmo password and he let take my two sets of Black Diamond Classical strings home. "Pay me when you get a chance". Turns out they take $zelle called him up and settled. Beyond Bueno
Went in looking for a used ukulele. They have a ton of instruments (seriously, the contents of the shop would fill at least a shipping container!). Found several, including one with beautiful tone at nearly half the retail price of a new one. Planning to go back when i have the $$ and purchase it.
Excellent in all aspects! A Berkeley icon right in your neighborhood. You can feel the history, the pride and the magic the moment you walk into the door. Be it for a purchase of a classic or a repair of a beloved stringed friend, you just can't go wrong. Stop in, feel the vibe, it will make your day every time.
