Everyone there was very welcoming and non-judgmental, they only wanted me to enjoy the process (which I do). I bought a beautiful used Gretsch and even though I have a long way to go, it's a pleasure to pick up my guitar and head over to Northfield Music for my lesson each week. What a great music store! Thanks so much guys!

I ran in with only 15 minutes-- they dropped everything, fixed the string (including replacing a missing screw) and we made the lesson! He was super nice, didn't give us a hard time about not planning ahead, and got us on our way for $10! GREAT WORK! I will never go anywhere else again for guitar repairs! My go to guys from now on!!

The store's shelvers are well stocked…read morewith a wonderful array of instruments, particularly guitars--as well as lesser known, even obscure things to bang, pluck, and strum. I take guitar lessons there from Madelyn and have rapidly progressed in my playing. She is a patient, talented, and encouraging teacher. The store's staff is friendly and knows how to guide the customer into what will be most beneficial for him/her to enjoy given any level of musical ability. I would highly recommend the Music Lovers Shoppe for anyone from those beginning their musical journey to those who seek a professional career. You will find The Music Lovers Shoppe to offer a source of guidance, support, and expertise.

If the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame had a baby with a Flea Market…read more.. It's a cool store, no doubt about it! They have everything from concert tees, albums (vinyls, cassettes, cds), guitars, pedals, etc Some stuff you see in there just isn't preserved correctly though which is really sad... some stuff has been sitting in sun light so long and is so faded its heart breaking. They could definitely go through a lot of stuff to make some space in the clutter. I know that's part of the charm but it really makes it look like shit in there. I know I sound harsh but that place really is dope and is a true gem especially with the artists who have come through to take pics and play there!

Ooooooo weeeeee!!! YES! YES! YES!!!! House of Guitars! The music store of music stores! The KING of…read moreall music stores, past and present! The music store that all music stores looked at and said...."damn! I wanna be the House when I grow up! There is no other music store .. again, past and present that is as amazing as this store! We live in a time where unfortunately music stores have faded. It literally tears at my heart. I worked and ran a music store in Phoenix for close to 10 years. So when I see ANY music store, alive and striving....i shed a little tear of happiness. A good friend of mine, her family owns this place. One of the people there, was one of the best teachers I've ever had. She taught us and worked at the House with her brothers and she still works there even tho she's retired from teaching now. Glad to say my friend and her mom are still good friends of mine. I'm trying to not name them by name here haha! I stopped into House of Guitars at the beginning of November and it was like a time warp. We used to go there all the time when we were kids. It's literally exactly the same as it was...except the t-shirt section is a little more organized nowadays. We always had the hookup on the latest sh_t. I mean, we do/did know someone who works there haha. We would very often drive up there to get concert tickets...back when you could camp out and wait for the Ticketmaster counter to open and doing so was soooo much fn fun! We did that at Area Records as well (Geneva NY music store of the past). This was also a time when Ticketmaster didn't literally suck you dry of every last penny you have to get a ticket like they do now. Ticketmaster is the Devil of the music world. They truly are an embarrassment and a shame to those who get life from music! Walking through the cd, vinyl, tape section downstairs...I swear...it hasn't changed a bit, haha! I absolutely loved it. It's so much fun to just take some time to walk through there. They have .... EVERYTHING! And I love the massive room of CDs still exists! What an absolute treat, House of Guitars is! The upstairs...all guitars...hence..the name haha! How could I go on and write this and not mention the incredible selection of top tier guitars they have for you musicians to choose from. Perfectly displayed. It's a treat to the eyes! It's like a fat kid in a candy store! You walk through, wide eyed, huge smile on your face! Looking at all the delicious candy! Except the candy is... guitars, cd's, vinyl, miles of t-shirts, kitschy little souvenirs, Knick knacks...they have SO much! SOOO much! When you go..it's like a field trip. Reminder: if you've read any of my reviews, you know that nostalgia is very big in my world. This place offers that and then some. Even to the little babies of today...the ones who have come into the world of music stores after us..I just know it's even a special place for them. I'm just glad the store is still here with us so the generations after us can see what a TRUE! a magical af! A unique! A HUGE and beautiful music store is! Rather than hear stories like "back in the day we had music stores where you GO an buy music...." Now, thanks to the House, they can see how amazing these stores have been for decades and decades. I hope we never lose this amazing store. It means so much to so many of us. It's a connection to times that have come and gone. So visiting when you can...yeah, extra special. One last thing, the employees are the best. Super chill people, know their sh_t. Some things never change haha. I started to reminisce with one of the guys and he was like "yeah lemme know if you need anything" hahaha! Can't blame him. Would have kept him there longer than needed bc I've been going to this store since like the early 90s. Was nice to make a trip there after a huge gap in time since my last visit. Thanks for being amazing even after all these years, House of Guitars! The love the world has for you...is next level. No words can truly express it. Thanks for reading, YelGuitarers! Cheers! Ps. Check out alllll the amazing photos on their walls. Amazing stuff.
