Good selection....however not sure if I remember much higher end stuff hanging on the walls (Gibson, Fender, etc.) I traded in an Epiphone Les Paul here, and he gave me a lot more trade in value than I'd expected....and allowed me to buy a Dean Cadillac. Great guitar, wish I still had it. ( just bought a Cadillac / throw some D's on that bitch!!! ) No drum gear to speak of, sorry skinheads! Go to Marty's instead.

Cool music shop, lots of great used guitars. I got some good deals on drum hardware back in the…read moreday when I was a student at Bowdoin. It was cash only as I remember it (fight the power, Marty) and Marty is the only one who works here. He's got a faithful crew of customers, and it feels more authentic to shop here than the place in the Tontine Mall, although that's a decent shop too. It was real nice to have both options and not have to truck down to Portland for me music gear during my 4 years as a Polar Bear. Definitely the kind of place where it's hit or miss depending on what he's got in for used and new guitars....always a few drum kits and plenty of cymbal stands/hardware on hand. Overall a great little music shop.

I love Buckdancer's!…read more They've serviced several guitars for me, including a rescue on a machine head installation gone wrong. They do great work and always return the instrument ready to go and in excellent condition. Great selection of instruments, and friendly knowledgeable staff. Support this local business!

This is the place to go for guitars and guitar gear in Portland…read more The staff is great, the prices are excellent, and the vibe is cool. They recently helped me re-setup my Tele after I screwed it all up by adjusting the neck on my own. They did great work, and got my guitar back in shape pronto. Best of all, unlike the corporate bozos over at Guitar Center, Buckdancer's won't try to upsell you at every opportunity.

Once the customer and his son was done inquiring about the drum set for sale, he turned his attention my way. I was interested in him restringing my guitars at home for my children for Christmas. I set up a time to drop them off and he assured me that he would have them done in a few days after drop-off. Tom also told me about the in-house lessons that he offers. I had a blast looking at all of the instruments on sale and talking to Tom about the local music scene! The prices are reasonable. Nice Shop with Great Customer Service!

Located in a strip mall with Five below, UMI seafood and sushi, and DSW. I've been to the stores surrounding and may have been in to see this store maybe three times to see what the inside looked like. Today we want to buy something. We came through and were free by a nice young man who quickly escorted us the piano keyboards we were looking for. He explained each keyboard and the features they have as well as price point. Did not find any used that for the bill and the two with in our price range did not have the weighted keys. Soo much to look and explore with in this store and we were only in one side of the store. Piano keyboards, speakers, sound boards, lighting equipment, equalizers, sound proof rooms to try items out. We started out and saw guitars, guitars and more guitars. Electric to steel they have all different sizes, shapes, and colors. If you are looking for a musical instrument check them out, you will explore like we did.

I should have just had it shipped and waited 3 or 4 days i guess
