Jim Relja is the guitar wizard at this store. All you need to know. Jim's experience and knowledge. He is absolutely the top shelf with guitar repair and set ups. This is the store to visit for your musical needs.g read more

Really impressive place. Incredible selection of high quality guitars (Fender, Gibson, and some European and Canadian brands), amps, and effects pedals. Somehow in a store a fraction the size of a Guitar Center they have a better selection of mid to higher end stuff! Really impressive. The staff graciously let me try out a dozen effects pedals. Ended up buying two really good ones by Wampler and Xotic effects. They have very knowledgeable staff and their owner always gives you a decent deal. He discounted my selections without me asking. I bet they have lots of return customers. They have a real guitar luthier so this place really has everything a guitar player would want. Although I don't live in the area I will be back in the future next year when I'm passing through. This is a special place. read more

See all

Absolutely the most rude small business I have ever stepped into. I stopped in to buy my boyfriend a t-shirt, which I have done in the past, only to be spoken to rudely and condescendingly immediate by an older, heavy set man with a beard behind the counter. He informed me that this isn't a clothing store as I looked through the small selection of t-shirts. Wow I had no idea lol. i will never step foot in such a rude establishment and I'd like to point out that my boyfriend is an avid musician and has been most of his life. He has a tremendous collection of guitars, amps, pedals, etc etc. He is also in a Pittsburgh band and knows a lot of fellow musicians. He alone has spent thousands in Micarellis ove the past few years. You have lost his business also. I hope the rude treatment to customers is worth it and I'm sure your bottom line is doing great. don't waste your time going here there are plenty of other small businesses that will appreciate you. read more

Micarelli Music has a really great selection of guitars, amps, and other guitar-related gear, especially for a small shop in a small town. Their prices are really competitive, too. They also offer some drum equipment and other music equipment, though their main focus seems to be guitars. They also offer fantastic luthier services thanks to Jim Relja, an awesome guitar tech formerly of Jim's Guitar Works in Elizabeth. I have to take a star off because the last time I went in the shop, the guy working the counter was pretty rude/condescending to me when I asked to buy some cables. I was pretty disappointed that he was acting like it was an inconvenience to him that I came in and wanted to make a purchase. I'm pretty sure I encountered the same guy as Eli R. did when he wrote his review... So other than the one jerk employee, the store has a really nice selection of gear that is priced at or below Guitar Center levels, and the owner Carl and the guitar tech Jim are both super nice. Definitely stop by to check it out if you're in the area and support a local business instead of Guitar Center or buying on Amazon. read more

Honestly this shop sucks. Hear me out. Micarelli Music has an absolutely killer selection of guitars, amps, and effects for all budgets. They 100% have the potential to be a great music store. However, the atmosphere of the shop is hostile and very unpleasant. The guy who is always working the sales floor when I am there has a scowl on his face the whole time and is never easy to deal with. They make it abundantly clear that they would rather you not be there if your intention is not to buy. For a lot of players, going to their local shop is the only way to experience new gear first hand, and it's a shame that the customer is treated like an inconvenience here. I really want to like this place, but they need to consider working on their customer service. read more

"How do they fit all of that stuff in a store that size?" Truly this is one of life's greatest mysteries for me. Friendly, knowledgeable service and more gear variety than those big box guys could ever touch. Boutique pedals, unique guitars, and lots of loud amps - this store truly has something for everyone... well, everyone who plays guitar or bass at least. Some of the best guitar setup work I've ever had done has been done here as well. These guys know what they're doing! One trip to Micarelli Music and you'll never give another dime to bain capital's big box guitar store. I guarantee it! read more

The people criticizing this shop are absolutely crazy. I've been dealing with Micarelli Music for 27 years. I've purchased two custom shop guitars, one vintage guitar, and one amplifier. I've never had an issue and would recommend everyone interested in purchasing quality equipment to go there. The staff is extremely friendly and very accommodating if you're respectful. The techs there are first-rate and know how to work on guitars. Lastly, if you're there and see tech Jim Relja pick up a guitar, grab some popcorn and get ready to be amazed. read more

Music stores are getting harder and harder to find these days. After driving past Micarelli a few times I finally stopped and went in. What a surprise! I haven't seen a selection of guitars and accessories except for in major cities. The keyboard on their logo is deceiving since there aren't any keyboards around, but what is there is impressive. And when I bought a half dozen sets of guitar strings the owner gave me a discount. I can't say enough about this kind of store with this kind of service; they are disappearing every day. read more

Great local music store. Been a customer since i was a child. They have used instruments at fair prices. Bought a snare and stand for like 70 bucks. Wow! read more

I bought a percussion set from there a year ago for $170, and then lost interest in it after the school year. So I tried to sell it. I went in to sell it and they said they wouldn't take it all because it didn't have wheels on it! I was outraged and he didn't even ask me how much I wanted for it, he just refused to take it all because there were no wheels. The bag isn't even that heavy, it's 20 lbs. at the most. The only employee in there wasn't friendly either. He just looked miserable. If I could give them 0 stars I would. My advice is to not try to sell stuff back to them. If I where you I would go somewhere else to sell your instruments. read more

Neat shop, but unfriendly atmosphere. One guy was friendly and helpful, the other acted put out that I wanted to play an upper end instrument from the off limits room. He had all the friendliness of a prison guard. As a rule, I never buy an instrument that I don't play first. But he made it clear by his body language and actions that I was not welcome. I prefer a shop that treats their customers right. Nice little shop in spite of itself, hope they hire some courteous help. read more

The staff here is very knowledgeable and friendly. The shop seems small at first but one step into the back and you're blown away with everything they have to offer. I know absolutely nothing about musical instruments but they were able to explain everything in a way I could understand. I definitely reccomend this little shop as your first stop when thinking about getting into music. They have practically everything you need to get started-even lessons! read more

I cannot say enough about Micarelli Music!! It was my first time there and I was dreading the 45 minute drive hoping that I would find what I needed and that the drive would be worth it. I have zero experience in guitars and wanted to find the perfect one for my daughter who is starting guitar lessons. Jim was so sweet.. He took the time to make sure we found the perfect fit and made honest suggestions for her. She had her heart set on one she liked. He gave her beautiful advice for her start in guitar and spoke of his childhood when he started playing. She was so excited to get to the car to start playing. Carl was wonderful as well. He spent time with us as well making sure she had everything she needed. We all talked and laughed! What a great place! Such nice guys working here! So helpful! Huge selection of both acoustic and electric guitars and ukuleles and all of the accessories that you need! 5 stars!! read more
