From the reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Taylor's Music Store, Len, the owner, and his wonderful staff! I live on the other side of the country and found the exact guitar I was looking for on Taylor's website.
This place is the best! We bought my daughter's first electric guitar and all of the equipment for it here in September. We were very happy with our purchase, but a piece of the guitar broke off over the weekend (just before her Christmas concert on Tuesday).
Taylor's Music offers a superior service. My child's bari saxophone broke the day before a big competition. Taylor's was able to repair it while I waited! Truly a life saver! She went on to win Best Elementary Soloist. I can't thank Taylor's enough!
Taylor Music and their staff were so helpful and kind in helping our family secure a piano to donate to Freedom Village Retirement Community, in honor of Peggy Green. The piano is absolutely perfect and will be used in many special worship services and celebrations at Freedom Village.
Selling or trading gear at Taylor's Music Store & Studios
Taylor's Music Store & Studios 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 Taylor's Music Store & Studios
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Taylor's Music Store & Studios. 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.
