I cannot recommend TMS enough. I've been buying from them for years. They're personable, they know what they're doing, their prices are competitive and the selection is deep. Never had a bad experience with them.

I've been doing business with TMS for twenty years. Today I went in for new drum heads & tuning. I'm pretty sure I caused Ted to miss his lunch. New G2 top heads, tuned & drum dots. Ted, & the customer service in general, was amazing as usual! My set sounds amazing.

Super friendly and knowledgeable. I went in for a guitar case and found what I was looking for and it was cheaper than what I had found online. Their Elixirs were a fraction of the cost I have paid elsewhere. Found my new music store.

Just buying a $6 pack of strings or going for an American made Telecaster? You will get the same great service from these folks. They go above and beyond. Pro Staff and good prices will make you ditch the GuitarWorld for good. The Music Store also has layaway options for all of us broke gearheads. Thanks!
