Very friendly, very helpful and very professional. I admit that sometimes I just go in to play someone else's guitar. I have purchased a Fender bass, lots of strings, drum sticks, harmonicas, cords and a couple of pieces of sound equipment from them over a few years. If you buy a guitar from them it will be set up correctly and ready to play. If you want to try out a pedal, they will help you out. I almost always know what an item will cost from the online retailer before I walk in, and often, especially if I catch a sale in progress, my cost for strings and supplies competitive with my other buying choices. I like that they support our local schools with band instruments, and I try to shop local here when I can. Hope your experience with them is similar.

For the more experienced they become a home for creativity and growth through jam nights and serving as a concert venue. You could conceivably buy your first instrument, learn to play it and have your first gig all in this one place. The owners are kind and the facility is indescribable, the term cool does not begin to do it justice If you are a musician and you find yourself in San Angelo, you would truly be missing out if you were to not visit this San Angelo community staple.

After several months of trying to get the instrument, she tried to cancel the order, and they refused. 9 months later, she still does not have her money back, or the instrument.

Guitars and basses from G&L (tribute series), Indie (UK company, made in Indonesia), & Takamine. Amps from Line 6. They also carry drums and keyboards. They have a nice selection of used gear on consignment, too. My experience was that I sold an amp on consignment there. It sold in two days! The owners and staff are great to work with. Personal, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating -- never pushy or "arm-twisting" like some of the big box stores. They encourage their customers to try the products instead of locking them behind a counter so you can only look at them from afar. Besides providing lessons, they sponsor open mic nights and a weekly drum circle. They are building a wonder musician's community there -- how refreshing! Check 'em out!

I don't know if he was having a bad day, but this time he was rude and passive. It was really odd given how he was the last time I had gone in. Maybe he was overworked, but it was enough of an unpleasant interaction to keep me away from the place. Hope it's different for others, though.
