From the reviews
Hands down the best place to shop for musical instruments. Their selection and quality of equipment is far better than any place around. Swing City puts Guitar center to shame. The employees are even helpful and even knocked off over $100 off my purchase. I'll be returning here from here on out.
The staff at this store is amazing. Very helpful and fair. George was great in helping me to purchase a D-18. Massive inventory. I highly recommend this music store for any musician at any level. Thanks again for your help, guys!
Instead of making a very negative review of another corporate owned music shop on the area, I thought instead I would sing high praises for swing city. It was my first time in tonight, after a local corporate owned place wouldn't even give me an offer on my bass. (I was looking to trade in for store credit and upgrade.
It doesn't matter if you play an instrument, or do sound or lighting for live events, this shop is great! There is someone on staff who can help you out with anything that you need. They have done three different installs of sound systems for me at different businesses, and all were great.
Lessons at Swing City Music Co
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Swing City 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 and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
