Lightshine music is a true local gem…. part music store, part museum, complete with real humans and a funny little dog! competitive prices on accessories and you can pick up an instrument and play it there- or plug into different amps (not like on the internet) I go in there every once in a while when I don’t even need anything just cause it’s fun.
The Owner Bill is easily one of the raddest and most genuine people ive met in a very long time. He is a true human being.
I’ve been there 3 times now. Once for a simple tuner. Once to have my guitar and base cleaned/restricted and tuned. This last time, my ground had come loose from inside the jack on my guitar. I just walked in on a Thursday afternoon, and was taken care immediately. The gentleman fixed it on the spot in about 15 minutes, as well as tuned it. All FREE OF CHARGE. Now that’s customer service.
Sell instruments,have manuals,seem to want you in and out
Bob is awesome to work with and very knowledgeable. Has a great selection of used equipment.
Bob & Robert are awesome. Great little music store.
I will never do business with them again. We had taken an alto sax in for pad repairs and it too over 2 months to be repaired and then were charged outrageously for it.
Do not bring your instruments here for repair. I brought my violin in to be repaired and it was completely ruined by the worker. All it needed was for a small hairline crack to be filled. Instead, the repairman decided it would be better to sand off the varnish and stain which is impossible to replace and match to the original. Although I liked the store before this experience, I cannot forgive this kind of decision making. This would have been avoided if the repairman had simply told me how he planned on repairing the violin, but he did not.
Great shop with good selection of guitars and ukuleles. Carl, the shop owner, is very knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to help you out.
Carl is phenomenal. Courteous, knowledgeable, economical – truly a diamond in the rough.
Not enough good things can be said.
Very knowledgeable, personable, and great selection! Also offers lessons
Very knowledgeable, nice selection .
For a small town, this place is amazing. The owner knows so much and has helped me as an artist. Nice instruments for good prices. But this time I only needed some drum sticks, that where less than expected, I may add.
Carl has opened a beautiful new shop!
Musical equipment is overpriced amazon deals from Christmas. Owner is a nice guy, but was clearly just trying to sell more expensive items over cheaper arguably better ones. “Handmade” strings snapped within the hour, I have a hard time believing the Ernieball strings would have any problem. Sadly though I listened to the worker who assured me that they were the worst. Overall I recommend just driving to Durango you’d end up saving money and not being treated as if you haven’t been playing guitar correctly your entire life.
