Amazing store. Employees are super friendly and helpful. They are happy to let you play instruments even if they are boxed. They have a great selection of instruments, a repair center, and excellent prices. read more

I've been playing for the last 45 years, and have been to all  those stores where you either got too much love, or could not find anyone.  I have 2 sons who both play in Athens bands and have been telling me about this place.  We were welcomed at the door, nicely, and were told to play around until something looks, feels, and sounds right.  We ended up trading in a bass (5 string) for a nice 4 string.  All the deals were fair and communicated well.  This place is highly recommended! Special thanks to Doug for the great service! read more

This store is a joke the employees are useless all a bunch of unprofessional CLOWNS. I bought and paid for a Peavey Mace VT head on line because a employee told me to do it that way I wanted to do it on the phone when we were speaking but he said to do it on line that the best way as it will be marked sold. So I did and I had a receipt to prove it!!!! The next day I get a email saying that due to being busy they never marked it sold and someone in the store sold it to someone else and refunded my money. I didn't want a refund. It's virtually impossible to find one of these amps and if you can they are extremely expensive and hard to find. What they did is illegal and fraud!!!! I will be seeking further legal action against this company and its employees!!! I can't speak for there other stores but this one is not legit and the staff has mentality of a small child. One very angry first time customer and never will be again. I even gave them the opportunity to make it right but not even a response. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS STORE!!!!! read more

This place is great if you know what to look for. Used musical equipment, so buyer beware. Peruse the stock and play what you want. Hard. Careful, play everything and give it a workout. I bought a used electric/acoustic guitar. It's a gem! But, I found three others that when I tried them, they were flawed. I showed them to the staff and they took them off the rack to the back of the store for repairs. I had the same experience with one of the amplifiers. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a good experience, but seriously, know the product you are looking to buy and play it hard. Their stuff is all used so be careful. It's "somebody else's junk"; but it could be your treasure! read more

Everyone here is Cool as hell and laidback W Store W employees not soo sure why theres some bad reviews i guess people are just too sensitive ‍ Womp womp cry me a river read more

This place is dope. A used instrument candy shop. Staff was great. Tre Williams, we appreciate you kicking it with us and helping us find an awesome & affordable classical guitar, and jammin' a little bit! Will definitely be back. read more

See all

Not for serious players. Disorganized lowballers. I called and described my equipment and was enthusiastically told to bring it in. After driving an hour from the city I was told they weren't sure if they were buying right now. Ok. We Schlepped it in anyway and the assessor struggled to get a sound out of his crappy behringer testing amp because his cable was trash. After he got it together he offered me 700 on an item he said would go around 1500 online. I literally went two blocks down the street and guitar center wrote me a check for 1050 instantly. I think if you are a beginner or trying to sell student level stuff maybe this place works. If you're a real player looking to wheel and deal your rig into a better place I would say stick to guitar center and reverb. read more

Naeem helped us and he was very kind and patient. Took his time to explain different products as I was buying my son a guitar and not at all familiar. Thanks Naeem read more

This establishment is so welcoming and knowledgeable! Thank you so much for restringing my guitar and helping me with the items I needed to make everything like new! read more

Music Go Round-Atlanta - Amazing service and products - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

I've been going here for years and not once have I ever had a bad experience. Staff is always helpful and even when the place is packed they always find time to help you. Always fair deals on trade-in and like someone else said in their review if they don't have what you're looking for they will find it! If you're looking for any type of used instrument, especially guitar/bass, this is the only place you'll ever need to go to. Huge shout out to the staff still working during the covid-19 outbreak. They're keeping us sane while we're stuck at home with one of the best outlets. Playing our instruments! read more

You won't find another music store with the high level of customer service as you will here! We've been shopping here for a couple years now ( when our teenage daughter became interested in playing the guitar) and it's definitely the place to go for quality used gear at reasonable prices. If you stop by here, ask for Doug! While all the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, Doug definitely stands out for being extremely passionate, attentive, and dedicated to finding the best option to fit our needs. Our 2nd visit to the store, we were shocked that he remembered our names! He has always seemed genuinely interested in helping us; he's patient, personable, and basically.. there's no one else we would want to go to for help! Doug- if you ever see this, thank you so much! All of your help and the knowledge you've shared with both my daughter and myself ( but mostly my daughter), we truly value it and appreciate you so much! read more

The single worst "store" I've ever dealt with in terms of customer service and arrogance of the "managers." Called the first day and spoke to Naeem who was just very dismissive and matter of fact, would not allow me to speak to someone above him. Call the next day and get the GM and ask about an item that has been MARKED DOWN TWICE (was informed they mark things down once every SEVERAL MONTHS). So this items been sitting for months, and was last marked down 3 weeks ago. No interest in it. They had 0 interest in selling me the item despite the fact that it's a pretty niche and expensive early 2000's synthesizer. Every single manager I spoke to was dismissive and rude and didn't even want to negotiate. Now this sounds like entitlement but JUST 3 DAYS PRIOR I bought a $2800 synthesizer from a different location of theirs and they marked it down $600 just because I asked politely if there was anything they could do on the price. Imagine how fast I gave them my money for being pleasant and willing to work with me. This place will never get a cent out of me because after I left a review of my experience the owner responds "hey, call and ask for Ann." So I call like 12 hours after that response, during their operating hours. "Ann's not here." "... wanna tell me when to call back?" "She's on vacation." Dropped the ball at EVERY conceivable turn. Wouldn't give them a penny. Edit: GOT AHOLD OF ANN. Now I understand why her employees are arrogant and aloof. She was just flabbergasted by the idea of a negotiation. She hates money, this place hates money. Do not waste your time, their favorite hobby is to waste it for you. read more

They have a great selection typically and knowledgeable people I have bought several guitars through the years from them and sold guitars to them read more

Music Go Round is a location not to be forgotten when hunting down unique musical instruments and equipment. The have a good selection of Fender silver-face amplifiers, Marshall cabinets and the occasional Kustom amplifier. A great selling point for this shop is you can tell them you're looking for something in particular, say Olympic white Fender Jaguar, and they will take your name and number down and when one comes in to the shop they will call you. They do consignment and purchase gear as well. 3 stars because their pricing could be better. read more

Music Go Round-Atlanta - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Duluth, Georgia

If you're in need of a musical instrument, tune ups, repairs, advice, Music Go Round will surely be able to supply your needs. All of my kids play or is either learning how to play a musical instrument so that means maintenance, maintenance, maintenance! I love that the guys in this shop are always helpful, and really and truly do give good sound advice, tips and skills when it comes to repairs. I can't tell you how many times we've taken my oldest daughters electrical guitar here to have strings replaced. We are fortunate it's not all that expensive to get repaired. We've bought tons of music books, drum sticks, straps and, the latest, a harmonica for my little man. Depending on what you need, they can be a bit pricey but for the most part they have very reasonable prices. read more

I find it very challenging to call a business and get someone helpful on the phone. Not the case with Music Go Round. I called them and didn't have to wait too long for a human to answer. The associate looked on the floor, found the guitar and answered my questions in less than 5 mins. At their old location, off of Lawrenceville Hwy, a salesperson offered to play a guitar for me so I could hear what it sounded like. I appreciate the way they conduct business. read more

I was in need of a new bass the other day so I came into MusicGoRound. To say I was pleased would be an understatement! They have a fantastic selection of guitars, basses, amps and everything else from band instruments to keyboards to drumsets. I wasn't in a position to spend a lot of money, but that didn't change the way their staff treated me. They were completely helpful and really found just the right instrument for my needs and price range. Goodbye Guitar Center!! I'm going to be making all of my purchases from here in the future. Whether you're a beginner or a pro, there's something for everyone here without that "too cool for school" attitude you get from a lot of guitar shops. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and provide great service. I love my new Ibanez bass and would recommend this store to anyone. I wish I could give it six stars. Will be coming back for an amp in the near future. read more

Since we have our little dude on the way and the fact that space in our home is at a premium, we decided we needed to part with some equipment to make way for our son. We packed up our keyboard and my bass equipment and made the long-haul out to Lilburn to Music Go Round. I had posted a lot of these items on Craig's List and I was delighted to see that Music Go Round emailed me with interest in the items. Rather than shooting over an offer or anything they mentioned they had been in business for over 17 years, they buy used equipment every day, love supplying musical instruments to the community, and love working locally. Thought it was really cool and warranted a phone call on my end. I ended up talking to Paulie, who is probably the nicest guy I have ever met. He was super helpful over the phone and was even more so once we arrived. We handed over my bass amp, Fender Jazz, my wife's Yamaha Keyboard, and a few other small items and he checked them out for cosmetic damage, did some research online, checked their functionality, tone, etc and then came back to us with an offer. For us, we were just looking to part with these items so someone could put them to better use than we have in the past few years and we were happy with the amount. Paul moved super quick and was cheerful and fun throughout the entire time we were there. Note: If you trade in your equipment, know that it is not a quick process. You'll have to let these guys take a look at your stuff and test it out, write down serial numbers, compare prices, etc. This will take time, so just prepare to be patient. They are more then hospitable in this manner. Also, note that the price will be the best they can offer as they will be turning around your stuff for sale that day or the next. This is a no-brainer, but just keep this in mind if you've never gone through this process before. If we ever need used equipment or had more to trade in, this is our go-to from now own. Local spot, 17+ years in business, super nice guys, an ever-changing selection of stuff, and an easy process. Can't wait to come back if our little guys wants to play the guitar or anything else. Love this place! read more

Have done a good bit of business here the past couple months, especially considering that Guitar Center has radically curtailed its used gear sales and buy-ins. Tons of rare and odd stuff, but you really, really need to know your gear to get the most of out this place. If you think of MGR as more of a dedicated music pawn shop than a full-service music shop you'll get in the right frame of mind. Tons of stuff crammed into the space and some not exactly in working condition, which they are up-front about. Why they buy that in, I don't know. But DIY guys and gals can make out like bandits. Prices range from good to meh -- again you just have to do your homework. Case in point, currently offered for sale is a used Gibson Marauder for $999. Somewhat rare 70s guitar looks to be in good condition. But check around and $750 is more like the peak price for a such a guitar. To me their best aspect is the willingness to buy-in working gear and put it toward something else. Not every joint is willing to do that as readily. Of course the deck is stacked in MGR's favor like everywhere -- they are going to tag the gear for sale at roughly double what they pay you, but that is just the nature of wholesale vs retail. Sometimes that'll make sense -- gear that you've been trying to move on eBay/Craigslist with no takers, or forgotten stuff that you just want to unload immediately to something you can really use. Other times it will not. The best thing I've found to do is troll their website for gear regularly and see what interests you. If you get a couple hits, then it is probably worth stopping by for a deep dive into their gear-pit. And be advised, they do get some weird collector types who suddenly hock great gear just because they get bored of it. If you can pounce on that, you'll be doing OK. read more

Lots of great instruments. Great variety of guitars and basses. You can sell used instruments for a decent price.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and with a huge inventory of instruments and accessories. A real treat to have in our area.

Probably the best place to shop for music equipment whether you are a novice or an experienced musician. The staff are committed to making sure that you get exactly what you need/want by taking time to talk with you. Lots of equipment to choose from and it changed on a regular basis because they buy and sell stuff all the time. If you are looking for something special or specific just ask them to add item(s) to your "wish list" and when and/or if the item(s) come in they will call you. In addition to being talented musicians themselves, Ann and Jeff know how to run a great business. The staff is well trained and know their technical stuff as well as how to treat people. So no matter what you're looking for stop by or call Music Go Round first. read more

What a wonderful experience. Neysa greated us warmly. Answered all questions. Even though the store was very busy, she took time to make sure my daughter got the saxophone that was the right fit for her. She went above and beyond in her care of us. We will definite return for our music needs. read more

A must for any musician! Little slice of heaven on Earth. Great selection of quality gently used gear.

I've been going to music go round for years. A buddy and I were going to trade some gear in for a bass amp yesterday. They were short staffed and it was an hour and a half before closing so Paul asked if we could come back today and that he would hook us up with a good deal. We did so and he came thru! Gave an extra discount on the amp and gave great deals on the gear we were trading in. If you go, ASK FOR PAUL. He's friendly and down to earth. He works most Saturday's thru Tuesday's. Love it here. read more

i stopped by to pick up a few electric guitars for me and my friend (shes left handed), we were kinda nervous at the start since we were buying our first guitars. the staff were very nice and made us feel welcome! i was surprised they had really good left handed options! overall the staff were extremely helpful! read more

First time here, and I like it! Decent selection of used gear, and if they don't have it, they'll get it. Josh was very helpful and knowledgeable. If you're looking for pretty much anything musical instrument related, this is the place. Great selection of guitars! read more

Great spot for used gear in the Atlanta suburbs, plus you can off-load your old gear to offset the cost of your new purchase. Pretty quick turnover means different, cool stuff is there almost every day. Definitely more of a "player's" shop, these aren't guitars to put in a closet or hang on a wall, they're ready to take on stage. read more

This place is a pretty typical music hock joint but the folks that work here are really nice. I took some gear over there to sell and Haseena was really great. She was very honest in what they would offer me as store credit vs. cash. I decided to try my luck on Craig's List instead and actually did get more than they were willing to offer. I do have to say that maybe I wouldn't think of selling high end stuff here and expecting good cash but I will totally go back to do some shopping. Really cheap guitar pedals, cables, etc. I'd give 'em a try on that end for sure. read more

I keep going back to this place, partially cause Im getting more into boutique gear, but because their prices are just perfect in my opinion. Jerry, one of the managers I think, will help you find what you want, and if you cant get it then, he will write it down, and keep an eye out of what you are looking for, and they do good deals for trades. I certainly will be back more and more to see what I can find! read more

This store is great! Good customer service is incredibly important in the business of used gear, and these folks know how to do it right. I had the privilege of dealing with this store during the year I lived in Lawerenceville. I was in the market for a rare(ish) delay; and each month one of the guys would give me a call to let me know about the new arrivals. After awhile, they found just what I was looking for. I've never had a music store treat me like such a...well, human being. I'm convinced that they actually give a shit about their customer base at this store. If your in the market for a solid price of used gear or if you want to get a fair deal on your old guitar, I recommend this store with five stars. read more

This is a great store that every musician out there should check out. Large selection of used equipment and instruments that will satisfy your every need. I have had a hard time trying to sell my trumpet to strangers on the web. Scott helped me out and gave me a great deal without low balling me. Go check this place out if you are in the mood to buy or sell. read more

Zac and Scott are phenomenal. They went above and beyond to help us get the right instrument and the right size. Kind and friendly!

We love this place. Whether you are new to music or advanced, they treat you with the same interest and respect. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. You can hold and play as many of the products you like until you find the one that works for you. You will also find that the friendliness extends beyond the staff to the other customers who also seem eager to chat and assist. This is the musical instrument shop equivalent to the old barbershop where all are welcome and made to feel at home. Thank you Pauly for your honest and valuable help this past visit. read more

I recently bought a Fostex X-7 tape machine from this place and it didn't work. I called them and they immediately refunded my money and wrote my name and number down for any future tape machines that might come through. I've also bought guitars and amps from here in the past. One of the best music shops I have ever been to. read more

I've been going here for years. Everyone who works here is always super nice and helpful. They are very personal and help everyone who walks in. I do trades with them all the time and I always get great deals. I should let you know if you've never done a trade here, don't expect to get the price if you sold it on craigslist but they give you more if you trade your product for another product. They take it all too. I don't buy anything new. This is the place to go! :) read more

I go to Music Go Round (and have bought 90% of my instruments there) because of the prices, the diverse instruments and the staff. They actually care about the customer, let you try anything out and don't jerk you around, or engage in high pressure sales. One of the most endearing things they do is call you if you have an interest in something and they have similar items come in. Also just got a tremendous deal on a Rick Turner Model T there. This shop is great; you should stop in. 5 stars. read more

If you love musical instruments and are looking for great deals on preowned quality gear, this is the place. Sales staff is VERY helpful and encourages you to try out guitars and other instruments to help you find "the one". Lots of positive energy going on in this store! read more

4.5 stars. Great staff (Jerry is the man). Very friendly and helpful. No haggling. If an item doesn't sell at what they have it marked at, they will gradually drop the price until it sells. I've sold them plenty of gear and been happy with the trade value they give. Not as good as what you could sell for on c-list but far less hassle. My favorite thing is that they will keep an eye out for items you want. I've rec'd many calls from them when paiste 2002's or giant beats come in and have bought many of them. To me, that's just smart business. Happy customer and you move the merchandise quickly. read more

In an age of musicians firing pot shot at the big box music stores, it was refreshing to walk in and have a great experience. I found the guitar I was interested online through their website, which is apparently updated at the end of the day each day, I called ahead asking for them to hold it for me as I made the trek out there. When I showed up I was greeted by Jeremy who walked me around the place until we got to business with my guitar. He set me up at an amp suitable to the sound I was going for and even offered me a drink while I put the guitar through it's paces. We talked shop musically for a bit and he showed me some of his favorite pieces that had come in recently. They had some great stuff all over the board. The variety they carry is nearly as good as the big box stores if their offering from each brand might not be as deep. Checking out with my new guitar, I asked for 3 packs of strings. Jeremy charged me for one and said the other 2 were on the house since it was my first time in. I'll definitely be coming back. All in all a great experience. Great layout of the story, a little cramped from all of the amps they have on hand, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! read more
