Great staff and a great selection. My go to place for gear in Pensacola.
Great customer service!!! Lots of guitars to choose from.
Pricey, but they’ve got it all
Really nice little shop. Good selection of guitars, keys, synths, and gadgets. Extremely helpful crew and very knowledgeable. They have specials not offered on line so drop in! And with the holiday, layaway @ 20% down and 90 days to pay.
They can’t quite get the same prices as things you find online, I understand that competition level is very hard to match but these guys make tringas music look like a joke.
I think the idea of needing to have a dealer’s license to sell certain guitar brands is completely unamerican and unnecessary but I’m thankful that these guys are licensed Ibanez dealers seeing as tringas is not. If you want a $5,000 Gibson or a whole store of nothing but high class Blues equipment then go next door. If you want a reasonable selection with a little bit of everything and good prices then go here.
I like to support local businesses and buy my guitars local. But being turned away because of not wearing a mask when The CDC even says it ok to go with out a mask is down right bad business! Every other music store including “Guitar Center” no longer requires mask. I was coming in to buy a les Paul standard 60’s that I have been saving for and was looking forward to buying today but because of your mask policy I will order my Les Paul online. Sad thing is I liked your store. Just thought whom ever runs the place should know what their dumb mask policy is costing them.
Remember when is better!!
Manager Rick is nice to work with, but E.C.King is so rude that my son & I will never go back. Saturday 7/1/23 we walked in as a nice older couple bought 2 guitars, but I guess King thought they talked too much because after they left King railed on them for 10 minutes, while my son & I were 5 feet away, made the place seem really negative. Then he was rude to my son about a pedal, and made rude, snide comments to me even though we were being nice and I was at the counter buying a Telecaster. I literally couldn’t believe my eyes and ears, I’ve never seen a guitar store employee act like that, and I’ve been in a lot of guitar stores. Seems like some serious retraining needs to be done at Leitz Pensacola. We saw the opposite at Blues Angel, nice helpful people, and we bought a great guitar there— that’s where we’ll be going from now on.
2. Guitar Center
Address: 6927 N 9th Ave, Pensacola, FL 32504 , Gonzalez , Florida , United States
Excellent selection. The staff don’t always know the answers but are very helpful. Picked up a numark dj controller and excellent studio speakers
Decent selection I went during covid so it’s not free range to go around and play any guitar you have to wait for them to bring it down and clean it.
Was able to sit down and try various guitars to my hearts content. Guitar Center holds a special place in my heart
Big and good people.
Didn’t have my guitar picks-checked put the acoustic room but none caught my eye–
Staff were friendly sort of people. Selection is fantastic if you are not a southpaw….hardly any left-hand guitars or basses, what a shame some of the best musicians were lefties…..no offense right-handed folk. Other than that, it’s a good store, well except for all the racket some of customers are calling music these days (Hey, I can bring some knarley feedback with best of them but come on!)….
Has very nice guitars. They need real musicians to tune them. Had to tune 3 out of 4. Like they were never tuned
The people are nice but the store SUCKS! Tried to buy some drumsticks today and every pack I brought to the counter rang up for significantly more that the sticker on the location of the product. On top of that I’m in the market for a new bass. They have a nice fender jazz. I wanted to give it a go. Nope. Not a single patch cable to be found. I’ll spend my G on a bass at another location. Just showing me again, why GC is dead.
Customer service was terrible. No selection, and little knowledge of the product I was trying, but didn’t buy. Keep catering to your garage band children and “guitars make me look cool” customers. It’s an awesome strategy.
3. Gonzalez
Address: Florida , Gonzalez , Florida , United States
The real deal, amazing talent and two of the nicest people you’ll meet!!
This is one helluva couple! Whose fun-loving, yet professional environment will make it hard for you to leave. The quality of sound and work rivals with the best of them, so prepare to LOVE your experience!
The only place in Pensacola and surrounding areas you should trust for your recording needs or music lessons. Not only are they highly talented and skilled, they’re just downright awesome people. Check them out, you won’t be sorry!
5. Music & Arts
Address: 14340 Airline Hwy, Gonzales, LA 70737 , Gonzalez , Florida , United States
Convenient hours, great variety of instruments, and helpful and friendly employees
Very clean. Very nice. Great sale prices.
This is a good place to go for lessons and friendly service. It can be pricier than online and has less of a selection but the employees are very helpful and friendly. The older guy who works must days is very personable. When it comes to lessons the only issue had was that I was never sent a lesson plan through my email. I was sent the email but no practice lessons were attached. I never new what my son was supposed to be working on. I just trusted that he would tell me. This could use a little work. Other than that my son loves Joel, the instructor. And really enjoyed his lessons.
It wasn’t a bad experience, just mediocre. The store looked empty compared to when it was Allison’s.
Large music store with king and honest employees. The customers were also helpful and friendly. Do not go to this location for repairs or inspections, as they are unable to do this – try their BR location.
I had put a bass on layaway GSR 200 4 string electric bass flat wall… I tried to go pay it off the next week, then they tell me there system is down…. Ok its been about a month now calling everyday still the system down…. ♂️ ♂️…For a whole month the system was down…. …. But they say I could come in and purchase one out right…..smdh…. ♂️ ♂️…. To all the people out there music and arts are a joke they will steal from you what yourselves when you go shop there……
