Y'know: the "I'm cooler than you and you should kiss my ass before giving me your money" vibe. No such vibe at Music Max. I've never felt more welcomed in a place selling musical instruments. The prices are competitive: I recently bought a used Mexican Fender bass at Music Max for less than I could find on Musician's Friend or other online sites, with the added piece of mind that came with knowing that the owner, Al, backs up his sales with service. My son is taking lessons here, and I've recently started bass guitar lessons (old dogs should keep learning new tricks), and every instructor I've met here seems professional and personable. Music Max is an example of a local business putting its best food forward.

I have found myself returning to only one store when I have funds for my collection and that is red Bluff gold exchange! The service is above and beyond, their store is organized and very professional and their customer service is unlike any other pawnshop I've ever been to! If you need a little extra cash, looking to add coins or precious metals to your collection are looking for something special as a gift, Red exchange is by far the best place to go! Their honesty, fair prices and care for anything they possess (whether it's theirs or yours) is the best in the north state!

Nick took the time to help pick out some really perfect items for my musically gifted father who is an Legend in Upstate, NY. He doesn't need much from me but personal items like Wildwood pics and some quality guitar polish will really mean alot to him. Special Shout to Nick for for making my 3rd trip to Arcata enjoyable and welcoming. I noticed the shop is fully stocked with instruments and that's a big deal as the pandemic really wiped some places out with an increase in demand. I strongly encourage you guys to check this place out. Side note- I'd really love to buy a Wildwood Music Co. T-shirts so I hope they will consider bringing in some cool store merch. Maybe se hats or stickers too! Thanks Nick and that random guy Sam who was super chill too!

Thankfully, Mantova's music came in for the win! My son located a specific guitar that they had listed on their website for a great price. The owner located it and brought it down to the showroom floor. Excellent small-town service, great prices and what appears to be the largest collection of musical instruments on the north coast. We both left happy and I would highly recommend this business.
