I loved their selection. They have gear and guitars you don't typically see in the big box stores…read more The guy was friendly. Keep in mind that if you are going there to sell, you will NEVER get market value and you would be a fool to think that. It is like a pawn shop and will get offered about 50-60% tops. They need to resell it for profit.

They have a little of everything here, it seems, though not always what you want when you want it…read more The service is good though, and knowledgeable. They can order what you want, and their mark-up is reasonable. I'd much rather pay a little bit extra here than give Bozo any more of my money. If you prefer supporting the local like I do, and you're of a musical bent, check them out. They have a decent selection of used merchandise too, and the sales staff is super friendly, which is way more than I can say for Chicken McMusic (Guitar Center) or, especially, Hugo Helmer Music, who has gotten so comfortable resting on their laurels they haven't noticed that the world has lit them on fire... For better, at least from a drummer's perspective, you'd have to go to American Music in Seattle. I'm glad Bigfoot is up north here for us Watcom and Snohomish rockers! Recommended.
