This shop doesn't have that corporate sanitation feel. everything is in its proper place but with a more eclectic atmosphere. It doesn't seem to fit in with the surroundings and what your used too when you think of a music store in or near taunton, by that i mean, its almost too good for the area. All and all, the 15 minutes I spent inside was very enjoyable. and i recommend this place based on that criteria.

I can't recommend this place enough!…read more I spent most of my life sick in bed so I wasn't capable of making my dreams of going around playing live music a reality. I walked in to buy some strings while their open mic was going on a year ago and tried it myself... I've been coming every week since. It's allowed me to live out my rock star fantasy in front of the most supportive and loving crowd ever. I've met so many friends here, it's more than just an open mic and a music store, it's a community and a family. I've played drums, bass, and guitar here with so many different local musicians in so many genres, it has helped me to grow and develop my skills for each instrument. It has, without exaggeration, changed my life. If open mics aren't your thing and you just want a place to buy an instrument, it's great for that too. Unlike bigger chains like Guitar Center where they just want your money and kick you out, you can have a long conversation with the people working here to make sure you're purchasing the instrument right for you. If you want lessons or you have a kid you'd like to get into music, this is the place for that, too. Often you'll see the Rick's Music World students play at the open mics and I used to think "A student? Eh, this won't be too good" and they always blow me away. Whether you're looking for a music community to change your life or you just want to buy a guitar, Rick's is the place to go.

The spirit of Matt Leff is alive and well thanks to kind, well-meaning salespeople like Brendan.

Before charging me any money, Gary suggested trying a low-dough remedy which I tried. The issue persisted so I contacted Gary on Christmas Day via email. He got back to me very quickly and was able to accommodate a last second repair just in time for a gig I had. Not only that but the expert repair that he performed was done AHEAD of schedule and at a VERY reasonable rate. I definitely recommend Gary for your guitar maintenance and repair needs. He's friendly, trustworthy and knows what he's doing. If you're in the Pepperell, Ashby, Townsend, Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Ashburnham areas, do yourself a favor and give him a try. I think you'll be impressed. Thanks Gary!
