I just discovered Matt's this past week and I'm so glad I did. Not only do they have quality gear but also excellent customer service. I was able to take my time and compare two guitars I was thinking about purchasing and walked away with a fantastic Suhr Classic S. It was a good thing I walked out when I did because they have so much great stuff I might've just kept buying gear. I can't recommend Matt's enough and look forward to going back sometime in the future.

I purchased a Rivolta Combinata from Matt's Music Center and it arrived on Monday. The guitar is beautiful and plays absolutely amazing! I can only assume that it was professionally setup by Matt's because it plays perfectly. The guitar was packaged insanely well and the bubble wrap was packed in to every corner of the box. The communication from Matt's Music Center was excellent and it gave me a lot of confidence to order an expensive guitar sight unseen. I am very impressed and I will buy my next high end guitar from Matt's Music Center!

Jay, Brendan and Joey are awesome. I have bought a few Nash guitars here which I think are the best Fender style guitars on the planet and had a great buying experience. I have consigned several items here and there was no hassle or stress involved with the sales. They take 25 percent but it saves me the hassle from dealing with flakes, scammers, bargain hunters and the delivery services. Great selection of higher end new and used electric guitars and amps.

These guys are the best and my go to place for buying guitars, amps, and pedals. They have a great range of instruments from basic mass produced brands to high quality instruments that are hand made from boutique builders and everything in between. They are knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to provide outstanding customer service. They are fair and will work with you on consignment and flexibility on terms to get you the best deal, and advice on care and set up. Keep up the great work!

I purchased a Washburn Partscaster from Matt's Music, and I couldn't be happier with the guitar I received. I received courteous service and quick shipping of my guitar. I highly recommend Matt's. Music Center. Rick Ham, Daytona Beach, Florida.
