About Us

WHO WE ARE:
We are an independently family-owned and operated, full-service music store in West St. Paul, MN. We particularly specialize in effects pedals, along with guitars, basses, amps, synths/electronic and pro audio. We are a premiere Boss/Roland dealer and a top G&L dealer in the region, featuring USA G&L guitars and basses.  

WHAT WE DO:
We are unique. Because we're "boutique", the odds are, we can get it if you want it, or we know someone that can. We fix stuff, sell stuff, and teach you how to use it. We can help you build your rig, problem-solve, or find a solution for that tone or effect you've always wanted. We love trade-ins, and we'll sell your stuff on consignment, too.

OUR STORE:
When it comes to gear, we do things a little differently than most. We only carry quality guitar and effect lines - many that are sourced from smaller companies and independent builders who understand that musicians need well-built, roadworthy gear that is both affordable and off the beaten path. Many brands we carry are unavailable anywhere else in Minnesota, and we are adding new lines all the time. 

YOUR GEAR:
We also sell lots of used equipment, with a particular fascination with vintage and boutique pedals and a general leaning towards things that fill the same off-kilter niche as our new gear. Bring your trades - we'll give you a fair price, and you can get new gear! 

OUR SERVICES:
We have an excellent guitar repair technician, who works quickly with good pricing. We carefully review each instrument and ensure any repair is not only doable, it will be a quality repair.

We were also recently chosen as one of the best places to take guitar lessons in Minnesota by CBS Local!
