What's on the wall
“Went in for a guitar set up, and he got it to me in a quick time and even spared me a few dollars when I went to pick it up.”
“I felt like my kids were in good, capable, knowledgeable hands and I would have continued lessons except for the distance, we live about 30 minutes away.”

From the reviews
Great place for student instruments! Don is so great and always happy to help ASAP with repairs and sizing up. I like the vibe here, too. Not fancy or pretentious, just welcoming and comfortable.
Extremely nice guy and definitely knowledgeable. Went in for a guitar set up, and he got it to me in a quick time and even spared me a few dollars when I went to pick it up. Definitely recommend!
A little hard to find, but owner was very helpful in my search for a solid-woods Classical guitar. Looked at a very nice A/Yari. Has some nice guitars, but he is limited by space constraints. If the f-ups in Washington and the greedy sob's on Wall St would all drop dead, this store would have a good chance of growing.
I have taken my guitar and bass here to be setup a few times. I was very happy with the time it took and the results. It averaged about a week for the turnaround and the playability was great. I can't speak for the lessons or major repair work, but for simple things this guitar/music shop is perfect.
Lessons at Turnpike Music Garage
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Turnpike Music Garage. 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.
