I'm so glad I checked this location out rather than go to any big company ones. This is definitely a mom and pop small business, but they are absolutely amazing and very pleasant people to work with. From my initial communication with them through email to an in person meeting, everything went smoothly and efficiently. They answered any and all questions I had. Haley was VERY informative and interactive with my son, making sure he understood how to hold, play, and clean his new instrument. They have a variety of instruments with plenty of payment options. They have a rent to own package with a repair and maintenance program as well. They make sure you understand everything in detail to help make the best decision. If you are looking for a new instrument or even maintenance or repair on an exhibiting one, definitely check this place out. They are AWESOME! the shop itself is located in the back of the main house. It's inside a garage turned into a shop. You will see a sign directing you.

My guitars have never played so well. He's a guitarist's best friend. You and your instrument will be in great hands with Kevin.

On the serious side, Artie has anything you can imagine and is a scholar and gentleman. Please go check it out when you need percussion or sound effects. He even has an antique boxing bell! We will be customers forever.

Ronnie and Christina are class act people.

And they are amazing to work with. Ronnie is a quality guitar repair guy. He's set up or re-set up three of my guitars, from a Fender Stratocaster to a Schecter to my most recent purchase (from RBC of course!) ESP. But that aside, the store is just the right size to find a little nook and try an instrument out. The staff knows just how to offer help without pressuring you. They want you to make the decision. So slide on by RBC in the Locust Town Center area some time if you are in the market for a new guitar (or other instrument because they can order it for you and probably get it faster than some online dealers can get it for you - or help you find a comparable instrument that would serve just as well as your 'dream' instrument). I haven't regretted buying an axe or having them work on my axes yet.

This isn't your average guitar shop. Everything in it was hand picked by an expert musician who is passionate about his craft. So even a newbie like me can walk out with exactly the right stuff to get the results I wanted. Jack, the owner, knew I was a beginner and took the time to walk me through everything I needed. He carries new and consignment guitars. He does repairs as well. When I told Jack that I had been discouraged trying to learn to play in the past because I didn't have alot of strength in my fingers, he showed me a great guitar that he had made some adjustments to. He said it would make it easier for a beginner to learn on. It's been 5 days since I left his shop with that guitar and I have to say he was right! Much easier to play and has a great tone (makes my beginners struggles sound a whole lot better lol)
