Purchased a 2011 Epiphone SG 61 reissue from Real Guitars while I was on vacation from Seattle, WA. I worked with co-owner Chris who is a stand up guy that will go the extra mile to satisfy his customers. I walked away completely happy with my purchase and have an interesting buying experience to remember. Thanks again Real Guitars!

It takes a special kind of proprietor to catalog and organize *thousands* of copies of sheet music and books. Many of them a *single* copy. It reminded me of sorting through Vinyl stacks except so the more disorienting. Delight!

Je recommande vivement.

I took my new violin for its first check up. While I liked my violin before taking to Roland, I felt it had a somewhat muffled sound and delayed response. I gave Roland my violin and two days later he gave me back a different instrument!!!!! The sound is so open and bright. It sounds amazing.

This store rules. Not only is it the only true ‘mom and pop’ feeling music store I’ve been to in SF, but it’s also reasonably priced, with quality instruments, and excellent service. Grace at the front was more than accommodating in helping me search for what I was looking for and gave me a great rundown on the studio services the business offers. I even saw a Silvertone Lefty–my favorite nylon string guitar, for under $80. Definitely give this place a look if you’re looking to rent, buy, or learn an instrument.

String Instruments
As I was sightseeing through San Francisco’s China Town, I just happened to look inside a small store. (Found out it is a string instrument store)
The artwork on the front row of acoustic guitars caught my eye.
If your looking for out of the ordinary string instruments, definitely stop by and talk to Alan (He is one of the pictures) and if your lucky, he might introduce you to his 96 year old father who still works there.
