So we were on a trip and my wife said let's drop in and see what they have. Great folks. I walked out with a 74 Fender Stratocaster. A great find and Gary thank you so much. Very experienced staff for sure. read more

Bill Jones did a setup for me a few months back. I am one of the harshest players in the city and this thing is holding up great. very impressed and won't let another person touch my instruments. read more

I found a guitar in Everything Musical's Reverb shop advertised at $1,258 with free shipping and an active Buy It Now button. I had called in good faith to confirm the guitar's details and buy directly, a route that also saved the store Reverb's fees. Once I called they said they were busy with other customers, and the listing was raised back to $2,600. Eventually the manager Gary offered me the guitar directly for $1,800. He was good to work with but the owner just wouldn't honor the price from when I called. Calling instead of clicking "Buy It Now" cost me $542. Everything Musical came out ahead: it avoided the Reverb fees, and I paid hundreds more than the price it had been publicly advertising minutes earlier. A reputable dealer should stand behind a live advertised price. I would not trust this store's listings or pricing without taking screenshots first, and I would not buy from them again. read more

Picking out a guitar for my High Schooler.... UGH! Walked in meeting Phil, told him what we were looking for and walked us back to Bill. Knowledge central! We narrowed it down to an Acoustic Guitar. Cody asking questions and tagged teamed with Jacob. AWESOME Experience from entry to walking out with the perfect guitar! No up sells, or pressure and all took the time to let us see every guitar to pick out the one! Nothing but good to say! Yes! Props! read more

I was shopping there since 1976 , but this review page is jumping around , at any rate with the selections of instruments amps , electronics , its not hard to find what you want , and hear it before your credit goes bad , with Gary Johnson and Larry Rose , 2 longtime musicians with good deals to buyers over the decades , you more than likely will be a longtime customer, as I am, , check Everything Musical out , read more

Very helpful staff that were genuinely concerned and wanted to help. I am super thankful for their expertise.

There's a lot of bad press about this place on Yelp. But I needed something they had and they were the closest location. (I should add that it was still a 45 minute drive.) I called in advance, and the man who took my call told me they had the books I needed in stock. No problems, no hassles. I made the drive and found the books that I needed right at the very front of the store. Again, no problems, no hassles. I then walked to the back of the store to look at the pianos they had for sale. Again, no problems, no hassles. At this point I was approached by a sales clerk who happened to be the man who answered my call earlier. I told him that I was also possibly in the market for a new piano to put in my teaching studio. He showed me what they had and that I sat down to try to out five or six pianos. No one ran me out, no one was rude. Will I shop here again? It's likely - it's an hour in the opposite direction of where I normally go, but I was in that neck of the woods. And if I do wind up buying a second piano for my studio, I'm sure I'll give them an opportunity to convince me to give them my money. read more

This is such a nice music store. The people here are knowledgeable and will help you find anything you need. I also left some items here on consignment last year and they were were quick and professional about the selling process. If you love music come check this place out! read more

This place has lots of instruments for sale, although I do not know why. Brought my kids in to look at some instruments, but you would have thought we had ski masks on with intent to rob. Relentlessly hounded in the piano section for touching the keys of the pianos, to test the feel of them. But they don't want you touching any instruments, so buy online or elsewhere and screw them. I've never had a positive experience with them. I took my kids and my business elsewhere. I will applaud when they finally go out of business. read more

Great place. They sold me an excellent Taylor guitar back in May and even shipped me a new fender a few weeks ago out of state. I highly recommend them! read more

This place might be under new ownership but you would never know it. The customer service skills at this place lack BIGTIME and it's costing this business to lose a lot of customers that are willing to drive to Macon or Atlanta & it has everything to do to the lack of professionalism with the staff. Perception is everything and if I'm going to spend almost 3k on a guitar, asking for the humbuckers to be wiped down because they look rusted & first being told they were not rusted which they were and then acting as if I'm asking for the world by requesting they be wiped down which proved they were rusted cost this business 2700.00. I spend a lot of money on guitars but I will now drive to Atlanta or Macon. If someone is going to spend 2700.00 on a guitar, they should be allowed 30 mins to play it and not be interrupted and asked "if they are okay" & it's was said in a very disrespected manner. It doesn't matter what you think or how you perceive something. It does matter how it comes across to the customer..A total lack of customer service skills and it's due to lack of training. You lost a loyal customer yesterday that easily spends 10k-15k a year on music supplies and instruments. Just another bad experience at everything musical and it all is due to how you treat your customers...I will drive to Atlanta or shop online before I waste another second at this business...Also they would not tell me the name of he owner of that used Gibson because they wanted to gouge me on the price. Nowhere online can I find that guitar for sale for more than 2500.00 and I was willing to pay that amount and was told that was the amount until they go and ring up the sale and wanna charge me 2700.00...Bad customer service folks...Take your business elsewhere you deserve to be treated with respect, you are the one spending your hard earned money. The taller gentlemen with the beard and the kid that wears his hat backwards and comes across as very arrogant is costing you customers... read more

I am a novice guitar player, picking up the guitar after a 50 year lay off!!!! These guys were super. I needed some help with an existing guitar. They heard me, worked with me. Set up the guitar so it would be a little easier for me to play. They were fantastic. Jacob helped me and he was super!! Great experience!!! read more

I can understand not being open on Sunday, but I would think the only music retail store in the area would be open on Monday. Looks look I'll be making another online purchase. read more

Unless you walk into this store with hundred dollar bills falling out of your own pocket, good luck looking at any equipment or having any questions answered. The people who work there are snobbish and ill informed. I would honestly rather buy equipment online and take it somewhere else to have it set up than purchase it from them. The last Guitar I bought there was an acoustic, from a brand that they sell, and it took them three orders from the manufacturer to find a case that fit it. I'm unimpressed. read more

My name is Adam Medley. I was hired on at everything musical. Worked there for almost two months. I was told I was a hard worker and then out of the blue I was fired for no reason nor an explanation. 20 minutes before getting fired, another employee got fired at the end of the shift. Gary (manager) told me that I bust my ass around the store and was a hard worker and said but I am letting you go. I asked why and he told me that it's not you. I said, was this your idea? he said, trust me this is hard for me to. Never did I get a written warning about anything. The week before getting fired, He hired 3 new folks. One sits on her phone all day and plays the keys for hours... The 2nd one personally told me the only reason for him actually working is because his wife was making him go to work. The 3rd employee works great like me but most the time she is clueless on what to do because the training up there at everything musical is a joke. The day I got fried, a man from Synovus Bank came into the store and asked, if he could talk with Penny (ceo). I am well-known to the community and I hope we all could take a step back and figure out what's really going on behind the curtain. I never got fired in my hole life and worked for big corporations. Just to let everyone know they are going through a lot of illegal obligations. Don't support them because they didn't support me. I will be taking some legal actions very soon. read more

I've always had a good experience here. I'm a novice and they answered my questions without making me feel stupid, left me alone to look at and handle a few guitars, and have a nice selection with good prices. read more

This place sucks management sucks too. Columbus needs a alternative. Compare prices to online music shops there very overpriced. There rude too. read more

Great and awesome music store. They have everything you can imagine. Very large selection to choose from.

If you're a musician looking for someone to repair or clean your instrument, I recommend going to Atlanta. Every year I get my instrument chemically cleaned and the price is usually between $115-150. For the first time ever I decided to get it cleaned at Everything Musical. Naturally since it was my first time getting it chem cleaned with them, I called in advance to find out the cost for my instrument. The gentleman didn't know off the top of his head so he went to go ask the for the price. After a minute or so wait, he said it was $135 for my instrument. Which was a pretty normal rate. I drop my instrument off with them on Thursday and picked it up Tuesday morning. When I go to pay them, they said it was $250... They said they charged me $250 since my instrument was bigger and they had to put a lot of work into it. Under no circumstances would I have agreed to getting my instrument cleaned by them with such an outrageous price difference from everyone else. The worst part is, my instrument came back having weird intonation issues that were not an issue before as well as valves feeling weird. Needless to say I will not be giving them my business anymore. Nice people, but I don't like being ripped off and taken advantage of. I honestly think the smartest choice would be to take that 2 hour drive to Atlanta and handle your business. It'll save you time and won't risk having to pay almost double what you were promised. read more

This place is a joke. When I was in my teens they always hovered over me like I was going to steal something. Now that I am older they have changed the store so that you can't look at ANYTHING without being accompanied by a store employee (and they are all ill informed with an undeserved sense of accomplishment). One guy was trying to sell me a PA and ending up admitting to having taken it out of the store to gigs across the Southeast... and then wanted to charge me a like new price. They don't stock anything that is of any help to anyone and, if they did, it's not like you could lay your hands on it without someone breathing down your neck. The old guitar tech that used to be here was a great guy and did great work, but he has since left and took with him the last reason anyone should ever walk into the door. I will never, ever, ever be back in this place and do not recommend it to anyone. I have never felt comfortable, helped, or cared for by anyone in this establishment and how they are still in business is a mystery to me. Just order your equipment online. Businesses this careless and overbearing don't deserve to stick around. read more

Great place to shop. Always has everything I need and more. Highly trained staff with a great helpfull attitude. Have been going there for over 6 years now. I have bought 5 guitars and 4 amps from them. Service is spot on. read more

Staff has extreme attitude problems and when you have a question they tell you something that may or may not be correct then look at you like your stupid. I would recomend gorilla guitars for those who are new to columbus or to music. read more

Always helpful when I walk into the store. Every question is always answered. I'm always able to look and hold any item or instrument that I'm interested in. read more

I walked into the store and asked about getting an old Stratocaster setup. The guy that I dealt with told me that his name was Larry. He would be doing the setup for me and was as polite and professional as ever but the store wanted to charge me double what guitar strings cost online in addition to the setup. I told Larry that "I thought you guys were matching internet prices on products?" Another employee stood up from his chair and rudely interrupted by telling me to "take your guitar online and see what they'll charge you to do it." I didn't want to be rude in return but the problem was that the setup price was a fair baseline price and the cost of products has nothing to do with the cost of labor. I thought the rude guy was the store owner, but it turns out he was just a douche bag employee not minding his own business. Bottom line is: I've been to much better stores and if a Guitar Center or the like was nearby, they'd be out of business. read more
