From the reviews
Mike Reeder is the best and sold me my dream guitar. The studio at this location is awesome! Go check out the Covington location.
Mike's Music in Covington is a branch of Mike's Music in Cincinnati on Vine Street. The Covington location is in an old theatre and is filled with vintage guitars and amps. Mike was there when I stopped in and was extremely friendly and helpful.
Super cool atmosphere for a place to get instruments or parts for instruments. Has that old school smell and feel when you walk in. Great service. I came to buy a simple set of acoustic strings and had to take a tour of the place.
Outside of Chicago Music Exchange, this is one of the best guitar stores I've ever been to. Still wish I would have had enough cash to pick up that Martin 00-17!
Selling or trading gear at The Village Theater and Mikes Music Productions
The Village Theater and Mikes Music Productions comes up for buying and trading used gear, going by their listing and players’ reviews. 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.
