What we sell
So, to give you a little more detail, here's a list of some of the new brands that we stock: Danelectro Guitars, Reverend, Bedell, Airline, Great Divide, Ibanez, G & L, Hagstrom, Peavey, Eastwood, Washburn, Electro Harmonix, Valco Pedals, Way Huge, Visual Sound, Lava Cables, MXR, Randall, Digitech, Samson, Zoom, Parker, DR strings and more. We also stock used gear, with a particular fascination with vintage and boutique pedals and a general leaning towards things that are a little off the beaten path. You might not find a '58 Les Paul here, but you could find a Supro Martinique, an Earth G-2000 head, or a Multivox Little David leslie simulator if you catch us on the right day.
Lessons
Our guitar and bass lesson program is taught by Billy Graczyk, a BA graduate of McNally Smith College of Music, guitarist for rockers Autonomy, jazz ensemble Media Addicts, solo jazz and classical performer, and all around nice guy. All lessons are one on one (sorry to break it to you, but group lessons really just don't work) and are priced at $16 per half hour.
Repairs
All our repairs are done on site, and our labor rate is $48 per hour. We do our best to be timely with repairs, but we are frequently heavily backlogged, so please call ahead or ask when you bring something in if you are under a time crunch.
Rental
You can't really say anything fun or exciting about rentals, but suffice it to say that we do them, we're competitively priced, and we make sure that everything you rent works before it leaves. We don't deliver, although we may be able to refer you to an operator/set-up guy if needed. One note: Call in advance to make a reservation for what you need. We don't charge a reservation deposit (we prefer to trust people), and we don't take walk-in rentals.
So, why us?
We
know that there are a million guitar stores out there in the world, not
to mention the nationwide chains that keep stumbling blindly in and out
of the music business. The difference is, we're still operating on the
strange idea that music stores should be places where the guy behind
the counter knows your name, or wants to know it if this is your first
time in. Nowadays, that might seem quaint and old-fashioned, but it's
still the right thing to do.
