One of the best guitar repair shops in Jacksonville. Hes my go to for any issues i have now.
If you need anything done to your guitars go see this guy he’s awesome. Very honest and very informative about his work let me watch the whole time he worked on my guitar. I’ve never had a better experience in customer service anywhere I’ve ever been. Went above and beyond to do what I needed done even after hours.. thanks so much. Best around by far and very polite and honest was blown away by this experience check him out you won’t be disappointed…
Friendly guy. If you are in the Jacksonville area, and need someone to work on your guitar/banjo, I would recommend Smith custom instruments.

Great folks, thank you for being there when I needed you!!!!
Good people, helpful and fair. Awesome guitar repair and supplies.
Very helpful, good place to shop.
Terrible place. They dont know the difference between silver and gold. Even when the gold is stamped. The people are idiots and a rip off
i brought in a mandolin that had contact microphone attached. wanted a fishman piezo installed under bridge. frankie cannibalized parts from my contact microphone system to put in the fishman. i complained that i had wanted the contact mic for other stuff. he fixed it but wanted to charge me more for that and repairing the mic system he ripped up. he reluctantly did it at no charge.
now i took the mandolin back because neither the fishman nor the contact microphone work, but he does not back up his work and wanted money to fix what he messed up.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not bring your guitar there. He damaged my guitar did not tell me and did not make it right. My guitar is unplayable!! Had to buy a new guitar..somewhere else

Great people and have a great selection of gear. They also do great work on guitars and are the only people around I trust to work on my stuff.

Good people that try to do their best to serve you. Good prices on everything, always friendly and accommodating.
Really great shopping great all around
I took my Ibanez Ps model to them to have a set of push pull pots put in. After it being there for four months, I went to pick it up. He was finishing it up as I showed up. Got home and it did as he said. It was out of phase when both pickups were engaged and wasn’t playing right. Inspected the wiring and found it was wired wrong, and when I removed the nut for the selector switch, it was on so tight it messed up my finish. Currently in the middle of rewiring it
These guys did the sound at the Singing Showdown in Oneonta, Alabama & I was so disappointed with their sound quality at this outdoor event. The Singing Showdown is a singing competition & almost every instrument or track that played for each vocalist was way too loud. I’m just bummed !
This place is awful. They had my sons guitars for a week and when we picked them up, they still were not ready. They had not checked them or even tuned them and I had to call that day to get them even to work on the last one. They were supposed to fix the pickup switch and they just did a bandaid repair. They just needed to be set up which is about a 30 minute job. These people are the worst. We will never ever use them again.
11. CD Cellar
Address: 913 Noble St, Anniston, AL 36201 , Calhoun County , Alabama , United States
Chill vibe. Excellent selection of vinyl! Very friendly and helpful.
Love the clothes! Great locally owned business.
Great place
Reasonable prices and good selection.
When I found a better price they wouldn’t give me a refund.
The man who works here is incredibly rude and needs a lesson in customer service. I got an important phone call regarding an employment opportunity and he got mad saying I was too loud. I will never spend a dime in this store!
i don’t recommend this place because the only dresses that are cute are outside and it smells very bad like an very nasty public bathroom.
They have what you need. If you are a seasoned musician or a beginner, you can find what you need there. Stop in and check them out.
Always friendly staff. Even gave me a price break on some Elixir strings since I was making other purchases.
Good service
Great hometown music store. Don’t expect the variety you get at other places but for hometown its great.
They have a good selection of musical instruments
Alot of merchandice to choose from. The employees were ftiendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant trlp to the music store. My hat is off to the owners and associates ok f Gadsden Music Store.
The staff was completely rude
No Gibson or fender really no variety.
If you are looking for music instruments, and accessories, i promise you, you will pay FULL retail price. No discounts there. It dosen’t matter that accessories have a 70% mark up. The best thing to do is buy it online.
17. Piano Barn
Address: 15 Kines Rd, Piedmont, AL 36272 , Calhoun County , Alabama , United States
Fantastic, absolutely amazing selection and the owner knows his stuff. Great customer service. 10 out of 10
Love Mr. Mike , he is awesome he doesn’t just move pianos, he knows music and knows how to play!! After my moms passing we had to get the piano moved and everyone around Birmingham including Ellis piano dropped this man’s name! He did a fantastic job I would recommend his services to anyone. He knows what he is doing and the customer service is phenomenal he did not treat us just like any other customer. He stayed and conversed and we shared stories back to back. Great guy, will definitely be using him again! If I could leave 100 stars I would.
40+ years of experience. Call Mike for any of your piano needs.

19. Drago’s Digital Recording Studio
Address: 26 W 13th St APT 2, Anniston, AL 36201 , Calhoun County , Alabama , United States
Allyson is amazing and has been virtually teaching my son since 2020. She now lives out of state. My son looks forward to and enjoys his lessons so much. He has grown at incredible lengths with all the knowledge that Allyson has to share.
Allyson is a phenomenal teacher! We began piano lessons early in the pandemic via FaceTime for our oldest two children, ages 4 and 6 at the time. It has been so successful that we’ve continued to use FaceTime ever since! Allyson is so patient and nurturing each and every lesson. She truly meets each child where they are at, mentally and emotionally. She can sense when to challenge them and when to adjust her style to adapt to their needs and learning style. Over the past 3 years, she’s taken on our third child as well and even entertains a couple minutes with our littlest! I am absolutely amazed by their abilities at such a young age and how quickly she has empowered them to read music, learn timing, and sight read notes! They can each pick up a new piece and begin playing it confidently within minutes. My childhood piano lessons were nothing like this and I have learned right alongside my children! I cannot say enough positive things about Allyson as a person, a teacher, a friend, and a mother! I am so glad we found her and I highly recommend her!!
I was not sure if learning to play the piano was possible at 40yrs old. Allyson has been amazing. She structures the lessons based on my progress and has helped me work through things I struggle with. Even early in lessons she helps prevent you from developing habits that would hurt your progress in later lessons. I have been loving my experience learning to play the piano with her.
