You will find good deals here, and the staff are so friendly!!
Love hearing the jam sessions that are always happening ❤
Good people. Good service.
Friendly people, prices seem fair, selection was good.
easy to deal with when renting. no problems
Very rude to my wife and all she did was ask a queston please don’t do business with these people we don’t need rude people in this town.
Great home town store
I’ve purchased things from here before, but today, I felt as though my business was not wanted. I took a violin in due to having issues tuning it and the bridge popping off. Was told what I need to do. Told them thank you and asked my daughter if she wanted to look around. Was told to have a nice day. Was not asked if I needed help with anything else. Employee just walked away

Nice lookin staff and food served on time
Good food and friendly
Not as good as it use to be,then when you orfer ribs its like youre playing the lotto better hope all the ribs have meat.for $20.00 for a plate no one should have this problem.Fish was decent but its been better altogether.When you get bad ribs you will definately have to armwrestle for decent ones.
I did not care for the BBQ. It more was like tomato paste. My pulled pork was dry like it had been sitting under a heater. As was our baked beans. And there was absolutely no seasoning on anything.
Not good at all
6. Palmer Music Company
Address: 1131 Front St, Conway, AR 72032 , Carlisle , Arkansas , United States
Excellent store with great selection of instruments & accessories! Always incredible service to work with! Not like your typical music store with people over your back while you try out guitars.
Bought plenty of equipment from here and never had any issues! I would highly recommend this place when deciding where to get your next guitar!
Very nice store, I had some repairs done on an old Martin guitar and was pleased with the work and the price. Staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant to visit with. Being a novice like myself, I am glad to have found this place. They will be an asset to my learning experience. Thanks guys
Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!
Talked to Joey in the store today. He took some time to help me plan for an upcoming purchase for our church. They have a large selection of all kinds of musical instruments and they do lessons, as well. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. Highly recommended! Thanks, Joey!
I was looking at electric guitars and they didn’t offer to let me plug any of them in. How are you truly going to know if you like one or not if you can’t hear the sound.
Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).
Went in expecting to buy a new guitar on 01/26/2023. The man behind the counter was very unfriendly & unhelpful.
I found one I wanted to buy but I just didn’t really want to give my money to a person who didn’t know how to smile.
Another employee walked by and was even more emotionless than the other guy. I left feeling very unwelcome.
I will not be back.
7. Guitar Center
Address: 12315 Chenal Pkwy A, Little Rock, AR 72211 , Carlisle , Arkansas , United States
Nice people, large selection of musical instruments. Competent teachers, helpful.
Darnell was awesome and really helped my daughters and I make the best choices and was very knowledgeable about our options and had a great sense of humor. Other shops I went into made me feel awkward because we had a lot of questions and aren’t experienced yet playing an instrument is a new thing for us but Darnell made us feel at ease. Highly recommend!
Good service
As soon as we walked in the door the staff was very helpful! The store had exactly what we needed plus things that will keep you looking for hours. So many instruments and accessories. My kids had fun as well!
Good selection of guitars, basses, and amplifiers with decent selections of percussion and keyboards. Staff is pretty friendly and helpful.
My wife and I visited the Little Rock, AR (only one location) a month ago and there was practically no one there so it was not like they were busy. We were there for about an hour and I was shopping the guitars – I never got any help, nada. I did go to the keyboards and when I sat down to play all of sudden the speakers in DJ department in the back blasted huge noise so I could not decide on a keyboard either. In a way, I have to say thank you Guitar Center because I will never be back and will spend all of my money elsewhere. Note: Other reviews note and verify what I witnessed, too.
Was told one price and then told another price of one hundred more when we went to check out
Very poor burnt out staff at Chenal location. Manager from Alabama is not helpful.
8. Music Center
Address: 2809 W 28th Ave, Pine Bluff, AR 71603 , Carlisle , Arkansas , United States
Great service! Best vintage gear that I know of in the state. Picked up 2 guitars last time and the owner came through finding the amp I was looking for. Thanks!
Guido has an excellent selection of used and vintage guitars and amps. I have purchased dozens of guitars and amps from Hot Springs Music. He has a great selection of acoustics, electrics, amps, and basses. He has instruments from under $100 all the way up to over $10,000. He’s competitive on price and easy to deal with. He constantly brings in new gear from customer trades, and from various guitar shows he attends across the country. I highly recommend Guido for your musical needs. Just don’t tell him Chi Town sent you.
Great service and reasonable prices.
This is easily the worst guitar shop I have ever been in. His prices are outrageous for the cheap faulty equipment he sells. The 15$ guitar amp cord I bought from him recently broke within a week. WITHIN A WEEK , for 15$ I could have gotten quality cord. He treats customers as poorly as he let’s his shop look. If you want to buy shoddy guitars , faulty equipment, and be treated like garbage that has sat on the curb for a month then go ahead and buy from this crook. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING HERE , if you need a guitar for someone who’s never played and you don’t what you need look elsewhere . Buyer be warned.
I bought a 1949 Gibson LG3 from Guido at the Arlington Guitar Show this past weekend that he stated to be all original. Within 24 hours I discovered the bridge had been replaced which effects its value greatly. I asked for some compensation for this change & Guido refused to give me a break on price & refused to take it back. He stated “I should give him back money from our last transaction or he would do nothing for me”. Is this how you want to be treated by a so called expert ? There was no offer ever made to buy back both guitars back from me at all. Never again will I be burned by Guido !
Does anyone know if $5 is a fair price for two plastic bridge pins we bought here? We also bought a string which was extra, so the total was well over $5 according to the receipt, which I kept. Seems like you can find six bridge pins for $5.99 online with free shipping. Wondering what the price for a full set of six bridge pins is at this store? I’m guessing $15? Just asking… (update Jan 10, 2019: Big Event on Grand sells bridge pins for 75 cents each, as opposed to $2.50 each at Guido’s.)

Randy is teaching me Guitar. He is very knowledgeable and make it fun. His store small but he is willing to help the best he can. Randy is an awesome guy.
This is a great store to visit for all your music needs Randy is sweet and very enjoyable talking to very knowledgeable if you get the chance go see him
Not a super big store with lots of options but they have the things I need
Great store
Selection consists of mainly guitars, basses and a few country oriented instruments. Limited selection.
Biggest piece of trash you’ll ever meet in your life.
12. Clarinda’s Crafts & Music
Address: 3 Trina Loop, Greenbrier, AR 72058 , Carlisle , Arkansas , United States
Bought a beautiful Loar LM-600 from Clarinda. Great set up, great playing mandolin and a great price.
Bought an excellent sounding, sweet mandolin from Clarinda at a very reasonable price.
Well now Clarinda is the gal to do business with and maybe learn a thing or two about that special instrument you’ve been looking for. Even if you’re not player. Yet.
Inspiration is where it all starts. You’ll need a quality instrument that is comfortable to you ear and to wear. Because after all, that instrument you’re wearing is a part of you. Linked right to your heart. That’s it. Music.
Clarinda has good taste. Her selection of instruments are about the best values you’ll find. Value. Clarinda’s knowledge of selection. An instrument you’ll look forward to playing. Her personal attention to detail makes all the difference.
I bought 1 Loar LM-700-VS mandolin from Clarinda. I wanted a pick up installed. No problem. Done. I also bought an original version stock Loar LM-700-VS. Plugged in or not these mandolins are top notch! Will knock down your doors and the dogs will come runnin’ in! So to speak… couldn’t be happier. – Steve Kletzel – In Portland Oregon

Everything was easy to find, and checking out was quick
Bien y surtida
I like this
walmart
Clean store ,and good people
It was pretty good
Very Friendly place to shop
Self checkout card reader would work correctly. No one to help.
It’s an overstock store or something. They don’t carry everything other Walmart stores carry.
SERIOUSLY NO TRUCK PARKING. WE CAME HERE A FEW YEARS BACK. They didnt have it blocked. TRUCKERS NEED SUPPLIES. I FORGOT CREAMER AND WANTED TO RUN IN FAST AND OUT. WE ARE TEAM DRIVERS, HUSBAND WIFE. BOTH VERY RESPECTFUL. NOT TAKING OUT POLES OR SIGNS. RIDICULOUS. I KNOW 90% DO. AND THIS IS THE EAST SIDE OF LITTLE ROCK WHERE 40 LOOKS LIKE A CONVOY. But NOT ALL TRUCK DRIVERS ARE CREATED EQUAL. WE ARE OUT HERE WITH NO SLEEP, HARDLY ANYWHERE TO PARK AND PLACES KEEP BANNING US. YOUR LOSS OF MONEY
HARD EARNED MONEY. NOT A CHECK FROM JOES AMERICA. MAKES ME NOT EVEN WANNA GO TO WALMARTS BACK HOME.
