Love this place. Quality people, great selection. Best in Nashville. I recently had Jeff set up my Les Paul and I couldn't be happier with it. Been a satified customer for 15 years.

I tthink I got a good deal on a baritone guitar here. The guy that rang me up was very nice too. Overall it wasnt my greatest experience in a music store and certainly not my worst. The selection was good and noone was a jerk at all.

Wonderful locally-owned music store - great gear everywhere. I've been taking my guitars/basses to Jeff for set-ups/repairs for many years and have always been well pleased with the results. Thanks guys!

I called Jeff Marple at Corner Music in Nashville on 24 March and told him I would bring my bass on 4 April, and I'm coming basically from Huntsville, AL so I wanted to be sure he would be there that day. He said he would. When I arrived, I never got to meet with Jeff, instead I spoke with a helper who told me I can't leave my bass or get a place in line because he is so busy. I informed him I had spoken to Jeff and I came from HUNTSVILLE (100+miles away!) but it didn't matter. Jeff Marple would not even meet with me and look me in the eye to tell me to go away.

Corner Music doesn't want my business. The least one could expect is a business set appointments/reservations when someone is travelling distance to TRY to do business, OR, be told up front that its totally first come first serve. Neither happened. I DROVE 100+ MILES AND I HAD CALLED BEFORE HAND.

Jeff Marple is the absolute best at guitar repair you will find. He is a straight shooter and always goes %150 to give the best customer service you'll ever have. He treats every customer with courtesy and respect and goes out of his way to ensure outstanding workmanship. Five stars and two thumbs up!

A great inventory and store layout. I loved that their acoustics had a room dedicated to them and I felt very comfortable playing 3 different guitars. Their acoustics offered are diverse and there's truly something for anyone here.
