From the reviews
Exceptional in every possible way. An extremely upscale brick and mortar shop with some of the friendliest staff. Being new to the guitar world, these people who sell guitars that cost more than most cars on a day to day, made me feel welcome and treated me with the up most respect.

Lessons at The Music Gallery
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The Music Gallery. 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.
