I found this shop by accident looking for a distributor of a EHX 15 watt Howitzer. Very specific…read moresearch. The Electro-Harmonix site directed me here seeing as how the local big chain store did not have any in inventory even though they were said to be an authorized retailer with the device in stock. I prefer small music stores when I can find them. I don't really care where they are located if they can provide me what I need. This shop has items in stock that the bigger shops list on their sites but can't say when the item will be back in stock but will let you place the order anyway, which could be months to restock! I don't have that kind of patience or money to throw out there. Guitar Guys LLC had everything I needed when I called in. They must still be setting their web store up as there were some smaller items not listed, but they were a phone call away. I have dealt with two associates there this week over the phone. Both were pleasant to deal with and accommodating to my phone ordering needs. Most who know me know I prefer to get my gear from one larger chain store in particular, and that is only due to the pro audio section having all that I need just 3 miles away from my home. But the more specific items that you don't see most people buying or owning, those come from shops like Guitar Guys! I enjoy dealing with staff who are knowledgeable, helpful, and honest. I have nothing but good things to say about my interactions with them and some day I will be in the area to drop into the store to check it out, rather than doing it the "Air Mall" way and coming across something in Guitar Guys online catalogue then calling because suddenly I need that thing I saw that I didn't even know I wanted. They have great prices on their instruments and I foresee a new acoustic guitar this summer. They even sell Cajon's!! Affordably priced Cajon's! Seriously. I wear a shirt that I got from the radio station I work for during their charity drives, it says: "Give Local". That goes with the whole thing of bringing business back to your local community as well. Commerce has become this thing where everything is at our fingertips and not necessarily coming from places we have ever heard of. If I can I do like to shop local because I almost forgot what that is like to get a unique item, or have a unique shopping experience with local businesses. Make new friends with the people working there. You walk in enough times and people know your name after a while. It has been too long since I could find a local music store like that. Maybe Guitar Guys will be that place, maybe not. Either way, they are off to a great start with me and despite how far out they are, I drive out there to visit family anyway and for decent gear, I will make it a point to drive out there more. No matter where you live, their website is there. Just enter guitarguysohio.com and I'm pretty sure the website is hyper-local to your devices that order your food deliveries and your streaming services. Let you or your loved one experience that for their self. It really does help sometimes to just start strumming away when you are happy, sad, bored, inspired, etc., etc... They take PayPal and even have LayAway!! I haven't seen anyone outside of Walmart with a layaway plan since Schottenstein's was around. But Layaway was how I afforded my first bass guitar over 20 years ago, also from a local music shop that has since vanished. I still have that bass. "Shop Local." and let you or your loved one have an experience they will enjoy for years to come. If you are in the area, drop in and try it before you buy. Unlike the joke in the Wayne's World movie, I'm almost certain they will let you play Stairway to Heaven;) Reader, if you made it this far in my review... I salute you and your patience. I really do hope you are as excited about checking them out as I was to do business with them. I'm just excited about small music stores. It is so hard to find good small shops who put quality of their inventory over quantity of their stock who can compete against the bigger stores who want that put quantity over quality of their inventory. Thanks for reading!

WOW! I can't believe I haven't reviewed Larry's!…read more Alright, in the interest of full-disclosure, I used to teach the drums here. Saturday mornings, after working until 1 am, I was there, tea in hand. Larry's has grown tremendously since moving to their new digs, and what's even better, they built all that stuff in their acoustic guitar room. SERIOUSLY!! And the teaching rooms - I'm jealous. My favorite sight in the store though rests on a Tama drumset "Please don't play the drums" Larry's isn't the biggest store ever, but they really do epitomize the phrase "small town service" Locals guys who know their stuff, and will bend over backwards to make you happy. Highly recommended.

Wide array of guitars from Fender/Squier, Epiphone, Yamaha, Schecter to PRS and Gretch. Limited on drums, sound equipment but to be expected for area and it cost a lot to stock and maintain.

It also has a wide range Taylor, Martin, Alvarez and Yamaha acoustics in a special room to audition instruments separate from electric guitars.

Metronome had one that had been used and was described as very good condition. Chatted online (I think it was Josh) - very friendly and efficient - and ordered it on the 9th April.

Very impressed with both the guitar and Metronome.

Needless to say, I purchased the same guitar elsewhere, since it was a gift for someone and got it for $400.00 less than what Metronome is selling it for. Since I no longer need the guitar, I followed their return police and emailed Josh to get a return shipping label, and have yet to hear from him or anyone else. They are trying to push it past the 14 day return window so that they can tell me I cannot return an unused guitar. I have the email proof that my request was sent within the 14 day window and I will contact the company I used to finance the purchase and open a complain with them since I am not going to pay for something that I am trying to return. I caution anyone wanting to do business with this vendor to not waste your time or money since they will play games with you and not allow you to return anything at any time.
