After driving by this place out on Refugee Road a few times, I finally stopped in. I figured that…read morewith a tough name like Junkdude Music, the store had to sell something rad -- crusty old guitars, homemade amplifiers and the like. I was disappointed to find that the store actually only sells saxophones and other woodwind instruments. As I understand it, though, the shop deals mostly in vintage saxophones. That makes this place hard to beat if you're into that sort of thing. The owner told me that folks like me stop in all of the time -- people looking for stringed instruments. So just for us guitar geeks, Junkdude carries a small selection of guitar strings. No guitars, just strings. I felt embarrassed and bought some.

Jimmy really inspires her to practice and sometimes I hear her playing in her room and I think it is a CD. Every week when she comes out of her lesson she has a huge smile on her face and is always excited to get home and work on her new material. When I have sat in on the lessons I can tell that Jimmy is very passionate about teaching and he is very funny and has the abilty to explain complicated material in a way that is easy to understand.

Everything from the pick I use to making my heretofore useless pinky finger active on the fretboard. Jimmy is laid back and really focuses on what YOU need. No preconceived "plan". He's very good at providing context of what he's teaching using your own interests. In 4 lessons, I'm able to move up and down the fretboard where I've never been able to before. Jimmy has really helped me enjoy picking up my guitar more than I have in years. Highly recommended. Thanks Jimmy!!

Music & Arts (formerly known as, "Colonial Music") is a great place for musicians of all levels and…read moreages. They have a beautiful display of guitars of various types, as well as wind instruments. But don't be fooled. Their inventory is not limited to what you see. You can order anything not on the premises. My primary instrument is the sax and I've had the opportunity to play beginner, intermediate and professional models. This store has or can get you just about any instrument you need. Many of which, can also be rented (popular option for students). In addition, they offer private rooms for one-on-one instruction at a decent price. Another reason I love this place is the selections of sheet music available for many different instruments. If you have an occasion like a wedding, you can often find what you need, if you plan to perform and need music. They also have tutorial manuals for people new to various instruments. Their staff is very knowledgeable and are very patient with customers, which is important because the investment you make needs to be a good one that you can be happy with. I don't know of any other music shops in the area, but even if I found one, I doubt I'd do business there. This place has all of my needs and I'm always satisfied, every time I visit.

Which confused me cause the last person made it sound like that was an option for my situation. Called the office and left a message. never heard back. The site seems very outdated and hard to naviglate sadly. if they had something where you could see if there is availability for lessons in any category that be great.

When I decided to purchase a Telecaster, I had some trouble finding the right one. I tried MANY…read moredifferent guitars in various stores, but none called to me. I had the opportunity to try one of Ed's Telecasters one day at his shop, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. Ed's Tele sounded fantastic, and the neck fit me better than most Teles that I have previously tried. I discussed buying it that day with my wife. She recommended that I figure out what I most wanted out of a Telecaster and have Ed build that one for me, and that is exactly what I did! The process was highly enjoyable and informative. Ed and I sat down to discuss my ideal Telecaster, and he helped me narrow down various competing choices to a set of final build specs. I knew that I wanted certain specs (like a 12-16" compound radius fretboard and a one-piece swamp ash body), but I left the rest of the details to Ed, as I was not well-versed in all the available options. The final result was a work of art with unrivaled playability. Ed matched the action to my preferred playing style (low and fast) with Evo Gold medium fret wire (with hidden tang-ends), a beautiful macassar ebony fretboard of my choosing, and a highly figured (blistered) roasted maple neck carved like the one I tried in his shop that started me down this path. Locking Grover tuners and Gotoh hardware (all in gold) along with Fralin Blues Special pickups rounded out the Tele specs. I wanted the gold hardware (felt warmer than nickel), but left it to Ed to make it work with the guitar's final aesthetic. The body itself was reason enough to go custom instead of buying a mass-produced, high-end guitar. It is the nicest one-piece swamp ash body that I have ever seen. I asked Ed to make this Tele more comfortable to play (think Strat feel vs. traditional Tele slab) and he came through in spades. Ed carved an aggressive belly cut and generous arm rest and left no sharp edges on the Tele of my dreams. I asked him to leave it naked (no pickguard) after seeing its carved beauty. I was unsure of the best color for this guitar, but wanted something in a more natural look that would work with the gold hardware, and Ed couldn't have done better if he were in my head, reading my thoughts. That is the true value of working with Ed on a custom build. You don't have to know every detail up front (I didn't), but Ed seems to be able to divine your ideal guitar from talking and working with you. I simply looked at a bunch of guitar colors online and showed him ones that I really liked and ones that I didn't like so much so he could get a sense of what I really wanted. My Panzer Telecaster is so easy to play, and the tone is sweet and clear. The Fralin Blues Special pickups go great with my Marshall DSL40cr amp. This guitar can play traditional Tele tones, but can also ROCK OUT if that is what I am looking to do with it. If you are seriously thinking of getting a high quality guitar for yourself, do what I did; play all the ones you can find at the retail stores, and then visit Ed Panzer and see for yourself why having a guitar built specifically for you is a better choice.
