Perfectly located swinging through town for out-of-towner like me. Impromptu mandolin string emergency on vacation and they came through with spare sets! Super friendly and helpful gal at counter (obviously, as a violist). Total thumbs up.
Always have had good experiences here when buying guitars or accessories.
And the guy with the beard. AWESOME! He’s super nice, full of helpful opinions, and knowledgeable.
Great store in the Rexburg area if you’re looking for music and musical related quandaries. The Manager really knows his Guitars and other instruments. He may act like a know it all sometimes but I’d rather have someone who knows it all rather than someone who doesn’t. there’s only one other employee though and sometimes when the store is packed it can get a bit frazzled, They do try there best to get everyone taken care of though.
Last but not least if your looking for quality instruments or help with instrument care there’s no better location then them.
Changed my review since the management change. I am now the guitar tech at Mike’s Music. The new management is really great and have come sent people to us and we like to refer people to them. Each has their strength and we can help each other. Thanks for the new management. They are doing a great job!
I went to find a particular cable, but they didn’t have it. They had cables spread around the store, and seemed to have a lot of brands of the same product, rather than a diverse range of cable types.
Chesbro has an awesome selection and always has what I am looking for. Their guitar and bass selection is great and the prices are very reasonable.
However, sometimes the staff is a little overwhelming. One of the dudes, Drew or something, is a know it all and somewhat condescending as if his opinion is the correct one. He also tries to convince you to buy other stuff you don’t want and it makes you want to just not buy anything.
I just don’t understand why the employees are in your face ALL the time. I walk in with my kids to look at instruments and the flipping employee (Andrew I think) won’t leave us alone and let us look around. The dude just tries to sell you stuff you don’t need. Like come on man stop being so pushy and leave us alone. Plus I’ve been doing some comparisons with prices online and Chesbros is overcharging so many of their instruments.
Better train your employees, we aren’t ever coming back here. Do yourself a favor and go to Mikes Music for instruments
I have heard much about this place and was excited to check it out. Was very disappointed with the prices and materials that they had. I wish Rexburg had a guitar center; so until then I guess I’ll just shop here? Unless anyone knows of other music places I could go to? They’re not better than Mike’s Music.
Horrible experience. I ended up walking out of there without buying what I needed because I was so annoyed by the experience. I was either ignored or treated like I didn’t know anything. Guy wouldn’t let me finish a sentence without cutting me off and treating me like an idiot. I’m a touring musician. Will NEVER go back.

Amazing level of service here. Very knowledgeable and TALENTED! My only complaint is that Richard always wants you to “play us a little tune” after he’s fixed up your instrument and/or you’re trying out a few shoulder rests. Having heard him play in person and over the phone, I don’t dare because it’s too intimidating–and I’ve played for well over 35 years and with two different orchestras…LOL! But, seriously, these folks are wonderful. Richard is so willing to help a violinist with shoulder rest or other issues and is always so kind. He also has a marvelous sense of humor, as do his family. If you play a string instrument, then this is THE place to go.
Best service. Richard is very knowledgeable and friendly and an incredible violinist.
