What's on the wall
“The ukulele sounds incredible acoustic or plugged in to an amplifier and is made with locally sourced cherry tree wood.”
“I had brought in a prototype of a double neck six string electric and lap steel guitar into their shop on recommendation from a friend .”
“EDIT: Was in last week and purchased a killer bass.”
“He even spent about 10 minutes playing guitar after guitar after guitar while I camped out in front of the amp so I could get a true feel of what it sounded like plugged in.”
“The staff seemed to enjoy their work and made purchasing a used mandolin very easy.”
“The guys were knowledgeable and knew what I was talking about during setup and they even gave me an amazing deal that I couldn't refuse.”
“My daughter walked out of her first 30 minute piano lesson knowing most all of the notes and 3 sweet little songs!”
“In fact I was so impressed with Geno's guitars that he had built that I requested that I could buy a handmade ukulele from him.”

From the reviews
Spent 2 hours this afternoon in their store shopping for Guitars. Thatcher (Hope I spelled that right) Was super helpful and accommodating. Went above and beyond expectations.
UPDATE: Thank you TC Guitar Co. for addressing my concerns and making it right. I have adjusted my rating to reflect as much. I recently bought a Martin guitar from TC Guitar Co. When I bought it, it played great. Within a matter of weeks, it began to develop a string buzz when playing chords.
An awesome vibe exudes from this hip guitar shop. Lots of string instruments available, sound deadening room so you can test out your favorite riffs as loud as you want on any of your prospective purchases. The owner was super friendly, helpful and not pushy at all.
Traverse City Guitar Company , what a great staff to work with .. Nothing but good to say about them . I had brought in a prototype of a double neck six string electric and lap steel guitar into their shop on recommendation from a friend . Gino transformed it from a prototype into a working, functional instrument.
Lessons at Traverse City Guitar Company
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Traverse City Guitar Company. 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.
