Cool little shop. Owner was chill and easy to talk with, and let me in on a Friday when he was technically closed.
Decent small town selection of gear. Lots of Gretch electrics, and some mid-range ESP/LTD guitars and basses, among others. There were even a couple pointy guitars. 3 or 4 intro level drum kits and a solid assortment of acoustic guitars. (July 2021)
I picked up a Peavey guitar amp for my son while I was in, and it was priced competitively. I would recommend this shop, and shop there again myself if I have the need and opportunity.

This place has awesome customer service. With the 30 warranty on all guitars on any issue without question or hesitation they will fix it. This place is refreshing and I for one am very happy and thankful to have a music store like this. I highly recommend going here for all music needs.
Great DJ services!
In the late 90s early 2000’s this was an awesome store. Used CD’s, Ppl who loved to talk about old bands and music culture, It was different. Mind you, they still have great instrument selection, and fair prices for a small business. Some staff is decent, some have the personality of a week old gym sock. I’d say if your local, pick up your kids first instrument there and support local small business. Idk if the lead dude from x-crush still works there, but he was awesome. but it’s a lottery.
I remember your Christmas store at the Mall always used to eye the Bass in the box and now i am playing that a Jazz Bass i bought i am now in Tennessee so thanks for helping with my dreams
Love going there and stuff but idk if it was one of the employees or just a customer, but this older guy walked up to me and my friend and made a really rude comment about our colored hair “did you wake up late at a party or something?” How the actual heck would anyone think that is an ok thing to say?????
That was one of my favorite music stores to go to and now I’m not so sure, if it were an employee who sayid that. I’m pretty sure it was because he walked to the back after that. If you have colored hair and you take hate comments too seriously, be careful.
My family came in just a few minutes ago and they were very ride to us. My boyfriend, who is normally a very strong person, just walked out of this place in tears because they made him feel embarrassed. Smh. Rude rude employees who act like musical elites.
So you want to call on the dude behind me in line and not even greet me or tell me to have a nice day? Poor way to run a business. The old white guy at the front is rude and inconsiderate. He chose to serve the man behind me in line, likely because I’m a woman, so congrats on losing not only my 42$ purchase I got refunded today; but all future purchases from my multi instrumentalist husband that has been a customer here for over 6 years. I’ll buy from Amazon before giving my money to rude old men. Do better. Hope it was worth it for that dudes 12 dollars worth of strings.

Great guy! Even tho his shop is closed down due to the chaos, He went out of his way to come to town to open his doors to let me buy some guitar strings. Very awesome of him to help out a fellow musician
I love IGDV Music!!!
John sold me my first guitar: an Andrew White acoustic, and even threw in a free bag. His love of music and his passion for teaching drive him to offer gear and lessons at INSANELY affordable prices.
He offers your first lesson for FREE and my 1 hour lesson went on for over 2 hours. He cares that deeply about passing on music to others. We touched on everything from music theory to jamming out together.
Stop in and say hi. Pick up an awesome tie-dyed shirt (or 2). You will not be disappointed.
Currently my favorite place to visit. With a passion before profit mentality obvious in the prices of his products, and services. The owner of this hand built haven, is more than willing to share the magic that is music, flowing within the walls of his personal eden.
