So I did a thing today. It's been a while since I've splurged on anything other than business expenses. I had been getting the itch to play again after a few years. I went to Music Makers and Dave cut me a great deal on this beauty! Every time over the years that I've stopped by, they've never failed to serve me well, for information or merchandise.

Great selection. If he doesn't have what you need in store he will get it. Extremely helpful staff as well! Highly recommend.

The guy working there, I think the owner, was super knowledgeable and helpful and answered all of my beginner-guitar questions. I did not end up purchasing a guitar from the store because I was looking for something else than what they had, but I would absolutely buy future guitars for my collection from here.

Last five years I have purchased several guitars several by I'm talking around 10 I walked in to this music store a lady did not even ask me how they can help me all she said was what are you looking for looked around for awhile noticed that the pricing was a little bit outrageous. But the main thing was the woman that put the sour taste in my mouth by acting like it was a bother for us to even walk in the store. Oh well their loss my game I'll continue purchasing equipment from American music supply Sweetwater. Won't go back

Always enjoy a visit to Music Makers! It's just around the corner from Moon Dog Drum House, and since Cherry St guitar is gone. Well, Music Makers is truly a one stop music shop. You can find equipment and any other gear you might need for your guitars or your drum kit. The owner, Dave is a very friendly and personable guy. But I had dropped off a guitar to be restrung and met (one of the BTS guys) Jay, who put my new strings on my guitar for me and shined up my guitar and got it looking as good as new!
And Jay even went beyond what I'd asked (and I don't mean by him shining up my acoustic/electric Suzuki) but his friendliness and willingness to remedy another guitar that had a brand new but broken string. So I only needed to replace that one single string, but Jay's friendliness and willingness to help a fellow musician is why I'll be going back to Music Makers even before I need my next set of new strings! Thank you Jay and MM!
