New Braunfels Music is stellar! I haven't purchased an instrument there, but I've taken 2 different guitars (Fender Tele & Taylor Acoustic) in for repairs. Thomas and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and overall just do great work. I can't say enough good things about my experiences there. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

I've enjoyed learning from Thomas while he changed the strings on my acoustic. He and Richard are friendly and knowledgeable, they even let this beginner hook up to an amp to show my progress (good thing no one else was in the store;)

My nine year old son and I stopped in there a few weeks ago to check it out and got a very nice greeting at the door. There wasn't a huge selection but enough to keep two novices like us busy for about thirty or forty minutes. My son looked at everything in the store.picks, pedals, acoustic and electric guitars. He was even allowed to strum a few really nice acoustic guitars and his first ever strum on an electric.
When the sales guy heard him strumming he offered a few variations of what he was playing in the form a quick tutorial.it was pretty cool! In the end, we bought three new picks and you'd have thought we just bought a new Strat by the way we were treated. We will definitely be back.
