I called for a XLR cable for my PODCAST Sweet Berry Farm & Life and they had one! I arrived 5 minutes before close and they were mopping the floor. They were very nice and let me walk on the mopped floor with my winter boots on. The prices are pretty good! The cable worked great! I'll be back!

Had a great experience with everyone I talked to at the store. Tom got my old guitar set up better than new and several others helped me try and track down a new case. Everyone there was friendly and attentive.

My daughter takes guitar lessons here with Kyle and we also saw Tom who is giving her guitar a tune up. We had a warm greeting when walking in the door from the lovely ladies working there as well. Fairly priced and highly recommended!
