A local music store ran by a knowledgeable owner. John has good instruments for sale at decent prices. If you have any questions regarding guitars, amplifiers, or their many accessories John can answer them.
A true American treasure! This is the type of guitar shop I want to take my kids for their first musical instrument. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you Kris for the wonderful experience! You went above and beyond to get me the perfect guitar at a great price! You won another customer for life brother
Soooo many instruments !! And they restringed my bass in less then 15 minutes for 15 bucks !!! RETURNING FOR ALL MY MUSICAL NEEDS
Low quality gear that is way over priced.
wouldn’t give it even one star! I just went in to grab some guitar strings and was never once acknowledged the whole time I was there. Not even a greeting. needless to say I walked out. Not sure what the deal is in this town but I have yet to encounter any sort of professionalism with the businesses here!!!

Came in and josh helped me look for exactly what I needed. Super nice guy and super cool store!
Avery was quick, friendly and professional with my first experience at AMP. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great staff!
This shop has a wide variety of instruments, and some beautiful violins that I was able to try out. The staff is very friendly and helpful there, and the shop is organized, clean, and spacious. Now to save up for that violin!
なかなかの品揃えだがわざわざここで買い物することもない。
Thank you Neil!! This guy totally hooked up the hardware. Then actually took the time to explain to me, how to do it myself. Quality merch and inspiring customer service.
As a pro musician, this store did not have enough pro-quality stuff. Charges $12 for a set of strings that typically cost $7 anywhere else. The young red-headed dude behind the counter was condescending to me as I am female and he thought that even though I was asking for a specific set of strings that I might not know what I am asking for. Too bad…had high hopes for this place and was sorely disappointed.
Awful customer service. Since they’re the only gig in town they must think it doesn’t matter if they’re rude and condescending–especially the grey haired guy at the counter. They ran the price of the service I was seeking all over the board very arbitrarily, like they were testing what I was willing to cough up for a simple
maintenance service. I’d rather take my business down the hill than to this shop again.
Not the greatest selection, and the workers didn’t seem to care that we were even there. Played on some of the instruments a bit, but nobody offered help or advice or anything. They seemed to be out of stock on quite a few items I asked about – but they were “getting some in next week”. OK, sure.

Address: 38 W Main St, Mesa, AZ 85201 , Ganado , Arizona , United States
Great music shop in the eat valley. I have shopped for instruments, had instrument repairs done and bought accessories. They also have a good selection of sheet music.
Super friendly and knowledgeable. There was zero sales pressure.
Incredible selection. Obvious the employees are passionate about music with the upbeat and positive vibe you feel as soon as you walk through the door. You could spend an hour here just taking in all the history on the walls. Do yourself a favor and give this place a visit next time you’re in Mesa
More pricey than Music and Arts, and Guitar Center but a good store that meets all music needs. I always try Music and Arts first but sometimes end up here as their selection is Great. They have everything or can get it.
Needed a quick item, walked in, asked for help and was out the door with what I needed in less than 10 minutes – farther than my closest music store, but definitely my preference to drive and get what I need!
Good selection. Helpful staff. Enjoyed our visit.
Took a guitar to a practice room and was rudely reprimanded for doing so despite no one telling me not do that and no signs posting any rule of that sort. Did not feel like a valued customer, ended up purchasing a guitar somewhere else. Other employees are friendly, this older gentleman was rude and not customer friendly.
Sales people need to know what they are doing. I called for a specific brand and model of an instrument case..which they said they had in stock….they didn’t have it…wasted my lunch hour.

4. Campos Music & Supplies
Address: 1241 E Broadway Rd #24, Mesa, AZ 85204 , Ganado , Arizona , United States
Classic hole-in-the-wall music repair and supply store. They have tons of random music parts and accessories and specialize in guitar repairs and Spanish instrumental sheet music. Also lots of guitar amp and cord accessories. I took in my vintage concert accordion for repairs and they immediately recognized the model and manufacturer. Would recommend, especially if you have a niche need that they cater to.
I had a pleasant visit, I was welcomed and I was given the excellent support by the staff there!
The guys here really know their stuff. Best music store I’ve been into
Buen lugar ..pero les falta partes para wooferd
Good service and good prices
me puedes decir si tienes burros o boces para acordeon honner corona II de mi mayor y cuanto cuestan
I did not have a good experience in this store. The staff was rude and not very friendly for service. They did follow covid guidelines well but that’s about the only positive thing I can say about the store. Inventory was messy and strewn across the building. Had a very small selection of items and didn’t have a basic AC adapter for an amp. When I went to go look at the keyboard section I was barked at and overall I would say go elsewhere for your music items. This place won’t be In business for long.
I have a very Bad asthma condition with documentation from my doctor that allows me to not have to wear a mask.
This young girl was very rude and told me to “get out” and that I was being rude because I did not have a mask.
There is NO law on the books that requires anyone to even where a mask regardless of what the signs say. It’s a city by city mandate. FACT.
This place violated the Americans with disabilities act (42 U.S.C. § 12101)
This is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.
I will be spreading the word and never bringing my business back.
This place is a BIG dump anyway.

Horrible customer service ! Never going back to this place !!!

My teenager went to look at getting his first guitar. Mr Murphy sat with him for 45 minutes, having him try out different types and teaching him tricks. It meant a lot to my son because grown ups don’t always give individualized attention for that long.
I really like going here for all my music needs. They usually have what ever I need in stock, if not they can get it quick. Great customer service and knowledgable help! Highly recommend!
Bought a very good acoustic guitar for grandaughter.
Swell guy
Really like that music store. Very knowledgeable people. Thank you for being here.
Niced ppl to deal with live it there.

Address: N San Francisco St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001 , Ganado , Arizona , United States
Nothing else in the world can compare to this natural talent and positive energy. When I felt lost and frustrated because my body would not heal, this place helped achieve what the advanced medical world could not. Healing hertz but in a good way! I would not have my beautiful healthy babies without the gift of sound from here.
Amazing experience! He has chairs and a bed that are instruments that you can sit or lay down on while he plays them, beautiful experience! After discovered this place I came back that evening with my sister, had to share the experience with someone else! Can’t wait to visit again! !
I’ve lived here just about all my life and only just found this store yesterday while wandering around! The owner is a delight and the sheer number of beautiful instruments and statues is almost overwhelming! (If he asks to show you something cool, say yes!)

7. Music & Arts
Address: 7040 E Hampton Ave, Mesa, AZ 85209 , Ganado , Arizona , United States
Rusty made it super easy and painless to rent a violin. Kenzi was super fast replacing the string on her violin. Great location!
I’ve been renting instruments from this location for several years now. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the manager Nikki is amazing! They are always able to help me with exactly what we need, or find the answer quickly. I’ll never go anywhere else.
Went in to replace string on my daughters viola. The service received was exemplary. Although I love classical music, I am not a musician. Mike was very helpful when it came to replacing the string. Mikes passion for music was displayed through his approach in educating me on what to look for with tuning the instrument, what to look for when purchasing our next one(my twenty-one yr daughter used in fifth grade, so I inquired on a new one), was pleased to hear about the rental of an instrument automatically built equity for the purchase of one in the future. Mike was also able to look up our school’s string instructor and his book preference. Our instructor has stated that later in the year he will give us that information and that teaching strings first year and online is going to be a challenge. Knowing my daughters ability to learn quick I preferred to have the books now. I informed Mike I was very pleased and informed him we would be back for all music needs! Thanks Music & Arts!
They were kind enough to let us jam on their amp and electric guitar
Very basic selection.
Buena variedad de música
NEGATIVE STARS IS MORE LIKE IT!!! I have had the WORST experience dealing with the customer service from Music and Arts. Everytime me or my husband try to call and resolve our bill we get told a different story! NOONE has helped us resolve the issue and it’s been over 4 months now. The amount of money I have paid Music and Arts already, I could have boughten an instrument. NOT worth the hassel and absolute HORRIBLE customer service!!! Save your money and time and go somewhere else!!
Spent my money elsewhere because of the masks requirement.
I don’t necessarily have a grievance with this store in particular but the company in general. When my children did not return in March due to COVID there was zero communication from the company as to what to do if we were currently renting from them. I called one day at the end of March to try and return the instrument and they said unless you can make it here by 5 pm tonight we are closing indefinitely due to Covid. They did not offer me any assistance or let me know there was a customer service line to call. I assumed this was a privately owned company. I tried calling today to see if I can return the instrument (we’ve been quarantined since March) and receive some sort of reimbursement due to the circumstances. The guy at the store told me there was a separate customer service number (oh NOW they tell me) that I would have to call to see if I can get a refund. I called and was told I should have called earlier to get my payments stopped and there was nothing they could do to get reimbursed for the months I have been paying for when I couldn’t return the instrument due to COVID and being quarantined. I don’t believe this is great customer service as almost every other company is offering Covid assistance and they will do nothing but keep my money.
Update- they just called me back and said if I return the instrument I could get half of my last months payment back. So I’ve been paying $27 a month for 4 months on an instrument that’s not even being used and they offer me roughly $13 dollars back. What a joke.
