We bought an acoustic guitar for our son for college graduation. I wish I had the name of the…read moreyoung man who helped me but he was phenomenal. Greeted us at the door and spend a ton of time going over the pros and cons of various guitars as well as sharing his insight as a guitar player and inquiring as to how our son intended to use the guitar. We were not pressured into buying any guitar and were shown guitars at many different price points then left to consider the myriad of options and come to our own conclusion. The store has a great selection of guitars to choose from. That coupled with the expert customer service make this place a win! I'll juxtapose our experience at Palen with one at Guitar Center in LA. At GC nobody helped us, we had no idea what where we should go to find the guitars he wanted and everyone just stood around while we wandered aimlessly. They did however, point to the section of the store we should go to but not one person came back to help us. 5 stars for Palen Music Center, we wish you continued success

The others were nice, but had that corporate music store feel to them. This one was special. It's all used, so there is a really interesting range of instruments. They have guitars, keyboards, sound & light gear, even an electric stand up bass. I walked out with an instrument I had wanted for quite some time, a reissue of a 70s Starcaster. I asked to play it, and it became obvious that that was the thing in this store ... hands on. The best music stores are like that. If you find yourself in Columbia MO, go check this place out!

I called ahead of making a trip to the store to make sure something was in stock and I was expected to know the ISBN number and was scoffed at when I didn't. It's not a fun place to buy music which is sad.
