Exclusive selection: The top 4 music shops of Gillespie

Redbox is great for movie lovers. It always has a big selection and it’s really cheap. If you join the rewards program you can earn a lot of free movies. Plus they send you all kinds of deals several times a week where sometimes you don’t even pay $1 for a movie.

Awsome place definitely recommend!

Mojo’s Music is the best. They are welcoming and super helpful to everyone that walks in. They have great inventory. The owner, Tom, went out of his way to track down a particular limited edition Breedlove acoustic for me. I’ve done a number of trade-ins with Mojo’s, and they are always fair and honest when assessing the gear I bring in and beyond reasonable with the deals they offer. I can’t say enough good things about this place. I live in the city, and it’s worth the 35 minute drive to get over to Edwardsville. I can’t recommend Mojo’s enough. Whether you’re buying your first starter guitar or buying an heirloom quality instrument, Mojo’s is the place.

Extremely helpful staff and great selection of instruments!

First time ive been in this store my experience was great! Ive been in the market for a Guild guitar for afew years and they are the only Guild dealer in the area. Very reasonable on trade in equipment, not top dollar but better than the insulting Guitar Center. They were willing to negotiate on the purchase which is nice. Easy transaction in and out in 20 minutes. The main thing was the cleanliness of the store and the quality control of their instraments i played 3 guitars and all of the were in tune with newer strings. All the guitars were in brand new condition and well kept, you WILL NOT get that at Guitar Center. Very cool guys one on one customer service! They will be my first choice in the STL area from now on for sure! MoJos then Swing City please dont waste your money at Guitar Center!

Fun shop for sure! Eye candy hanging on all the surrounding walls. The shop’s main focus is guitars so it’s definitely the place to go if that’s your go to instrument. Workers are knowledgeable and always very helpful. It’s no breaking news that guitar shops tend to give off awkward, intimidating vibes (understandably so when you visit any shop with high pricetagged merch) and I do have to try and hide my feelings of squirminess while there, but I enjoy going and will continue to.

Lots of inventory and they are willing to deal

I went in to get my guitar repaired, the staff members sat at the counter and talked and ignored me for several minutes. Then after they finally looked at my guitar it turned out to be a very expensive repair so I decided to just buy a new guitar. One would think this would be cue to start selling a guitar, instead they ignored me some more and made me feel awkward for playing any guitar they had. So I went to swing city music right down the road and they instantly came to help and found a guitar that was right for me.

After years of taking time off from playing music, band break up really made me step away, I’ve decided to look around for a new guitar and rig, have gone to Mojo’s, have purchase three terrific instruments from them in the past 15 years, never had a bad experience, today, however, was not the same. I walked into a store deflated of its prior pulse, I was seen and ignored, walked around looking for what would be my next stage guitar. Two employees, yet no time to greet, or attempt to make a sale, to show products, I even made an attempt by asking what’s new, even then not a singular spark of interest in my affairs with them was of significance. I walked out of there for the last time, sad to see such a place become so cold and uninviting.

Very friendly and helpful
