George did an awesome job restoring a Gibson 12string. Even though the guitar was not of high value, by the time George finished working his magic, it looked like a million bucks and sounded amazing! He is honest, fair in his pricing and he definitely knows his stuff about fixing and refurbishing guitars.
I’ve been playing guitar/bass going on 50 years, in my experience G&s Guitar shop offers exceptional quality and service. George has background as a machinist and decades as a luthier, he’s done everything from set-ups, repairs and new build projects for me.. I am absolutely satisfied. One thing I especially appreciate is he always includes a detailed worksheet of everything he’s done to the instrument. I can recommended him and his partner without hesitation for whatever your stringed instrument needs might be.

Envíe dinero y todo salió bien . Le llego ami familia bien. Pero la señora que me atendió pudo ser más amable. En fin no regresaré a esta tienda para ningún servicio. Me sentí como si la estuviera molestando con algo que es su trabajo. Talves tuvo un mal día pero eso no debería afectar su trabajo y el trato de los clientes .

Superior personal service! They treat my kids like they were their own. Great prices and have or can order exactly what we need.
I have the best time with the staff in this store. I took my client there. They were very patient and kind with her. She’s in her eighties and still wants to play the guitar
If you play an instrument this is the place to get your next one.
They’ve got a good selection of drums, guitars & other musical instruments & they even buy used instruments!!
Went here purely to find an acoustic to put my fingers on while I was on vacation… had 3 electrics because I’m recording on the way back home… but wanted an acoustix… but tbh I had a hard time finding something I could justify. I was looking for a throwaway type instrument but one that didn’t lose intonation when fretting an 11th fret for example, due to string action. Found one I almost bought but decided not to… the only section I was semi into was the very few in the back right side of the building where there was a strat, tele, LP (cant Remember), Martin acoustic….all of which were appropriately priced. None of which were at such a deal I just had to get it… was easy to walk away.
Great store for instruments. Variety from guitars, to ukuleles, to drums, plus amps and band instruments. They also have pianos. The staff is super friendly and helpful.
10. Gospel Music Express
Address: 4031 S Dixie Rd, Dalton, GA 30721 , Murray County , Georgia , United States
Excellent customer service and very friendly environment as well as very knowledgeable about musical instruments
Awesome place to visit for unique gear. Butch and Nathan are awesome to deal with! You need to check them out if you haven’t already!
Butch is amazing and i highly recommend going to him. I am a newby and he didnt try to over sale me. He put together an affordable package for me and helped me with everything I needed and gave great tips to help me get started. Butch is also amazing just to talk to and never made me feel dumb because of my inexperience. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
The proprietor is a friendly and nice enough guy, has a pretty good selection of guitars and amplifiers, however he can’t compete with big box stores (which I understand) but that seems to make his prices unreasonably High.
Nice in person. But didn’t find what I was looking for. If your on the market for a key board, this is not the place to come. They don’t have them. But the do have a nice election of guitars and bass guitars and drums.
I enjoyed this music shop. Great selection of guitars as well as equipment! Would highly recommend to any musician or music enthusiast!
This is the most untrustworthy single business I have ever had the misfortune of doing business with. It took two months to do a simple pick up swap. Compounded by my being mislead that the neck on my guitar was ruined and sold a 600 dollar replacement. I caught this individual in several lies and truly dont understand how these poor ethics have lead to the continuity of this dump.
I have been to this place a few times, and this guy always has an attitude with me. Usually I’m able to let it go, but today I had it. I went looking for a bass guitar part, a pick-up blend potentiometer to be exact. The first time he was insisting that I had to bring I my bass in in order to see it. Finally, after a Looong explanation that I work on guitars, I was able to make him just sell me the part, to which he remarked “these are non returnable, you know,” yes, yes I know. He gave me a tone pot. I explained, again that I needed a BLEND POT, to which he responded, “well you didn’t say that!” I did, twice. Then he gave me another volume/tone pot, and kept calling it a blend pot… then I went as far as to explain that a blend pot is one that has SIX LUGS WHERE BOTH PICKUPS GO IN TO GIVE A SINGLE OUTPUT. He said “well, you didn’t explain!” gave me a push/pull volume/tone pot… once again I told him this was not it. He got an even worse attitude than at the begging and said “yes it is! I build guitars for a living! I know what I’m talking about! If you had brought in the guitar I’d be able to see the pot!” (Sigh!). I turned around and left. He did t even say have a good day or anything of the sort. I’d 4ather travel the 40 minutes to the GC than to go back there. There, I said it. Hope it’s helpful.
Kind of overpriced on chinese behringer pedal crap.
12. Humbucker Music
Address: 20 Direct Connection Dr, Rossville, GA 30741 , Murray County , Georgia , United States
Just bought one of the Humbucker Music custom run Suhr Select Classic S guitars (Olympic White, HSS, Rosewood fretboard) Awesome roasted flame maple neck. Pics on the website made it look nice but holy cow, so much nicer in person. They shipped super fast, guitar arrived perfect as expected. They were super quick with responses to questions and easy to do business with. Great place to buy a Suhr!
Bought my mesa mark v from their web site in January 2014. Got it pronto, so would definitely do business with them again.
I have purchased several high-end items from the store (guitars, amps, effects) and have only had extremely positive experiences. Highly recommended as on online retailer of quality musical gear.
Nothing wrong with appointment only in a primarily web/mail-order only business. It helps with time management, and also keeps the tire kickers and incessant chatterers out. #GoodWork
Great place to buy you Amps, guitars,top line equipment
Closing the store to the public and going appointment only was a big slap in the face to all the local musicians who supported this store from there days on Battlefield Parkway.
Drove over an hour to check out their inventory of Suhr Modarn guitars. Come to find out that “they don’t let people play them”. He was nice enough to bring out one I was interested to look at, but that was it.
If your serious about buying some high end gear, LOOK ELSEWHERE. There is NO WAY I would ever spend $2,000+ on a guitar without playing it first and they will NOT earn my business when I order my Suhr Modern.
Sad that you could be more than ready to buy, and they are more interested in internet sales than business right in front of them. Not even sure why they have a “showroom” when you cant even play anything???
Edit:
Thank for your response Brian. I understand your desire to provide the most mint product you can for your customers, but like most relatively expensive products, consumers would like try things before they buy them You wouldn’t simply buy a $2-3K TV from a store simply because they show you what it looks like out of the box, but have no floor model to actually see the picture quality?
Jeremy was very polite, but missed all the points about my trip. He knew I drove quite a ways, was very curious, and knew I wanted a Modern since I explained I was researching them. I was torn between the JP6 and a Modern. At no point did he even attempt to try and say “maybe I should try one out, that may help you decide”. I mean EVERY music store I have been in will let you play something to make sure its what you want. I would understand if it were a 59 Burst that Gary Moore use to own, and was irreplaceable, but these are $2-4k instruments you can purchase from any of the 60ish dealers Suhr has listed on their site.
Again, your staff was very polite, and maybe this is a new business model that companies operate well with. I am just more traditional coming from a background in sales, and understand that the way to create desire is to give the customer a sense of ownership -> floor models, demo drives, fitting room, etc…
I looked around for for months before I decided on my Subaru STI. I drove $15K-$65K dollar cars before settling on my $35K one. All dealers let me go thorough and drive what I was looking at -> Pre-owned STI’s, new STI’s, new BOSS 302 Mustang, ZL1 and SS Camaro, etc… I didnt hurt, scratch, track mud in, or abuse them. I drove them to make sure I would be happy with my investment before buying.
We may never see eye to eye on this but, I dont feel like commuting from Cartersville GA to the TN line just to discover what I did. I am sure others have driver further to discover this. I just wish you site was very clear about your normal policy so that consumers know what to expect if they decide to make the trip to your store.
Again, I appreciate your response.
Sincerely, Paul
I thought this would be a great place in my area considering the supposedly have great gear, but when I showed up they would not even answer the door when i had cash in hand to buy an amp and pedals. It was probably my bad. I will just get it from Sweetwater
13. Goodwill Store
Address: 920 N 3rd Ave, Chatsworth, GA 30705 , Murray County , Georgia , United States
Omg first time here I found a Melanie Martinez shirt from one of her tours “training wheels” I loved it it was 2.13 so worth it
I like coming here. For a small store they have a large selection and the prices are usually reasonable. The store is clean and organized. They don’t have public restrooms. The long-haired hippie guy is exceptionally friendly and pleasant and has a positive attitude.
Great deals but make sure they ring it up right at check out
I love Goodwill stores. Wish there was one in Ellijay.
Prices on clothing are the same as other Goodwill stores. The prices on other items tends to be more expensive but still cheaper than new. Staff is a little standoffish and can be almost rude. Still one of the cheaper places in town to buy things.
I just want to know how they can have 2 changing rooms and only have one of them unlocked to use and I had three shirts to try on and before I could even get done they were knocking on the door asking me who was in there and why it was taking so long because there was a line of people waiting well they had another room they could have unlocked it but evidently they don’t want to there was nothing wrong with it so they have no excuse and they also have a bathroom that no one is able to use anymore and there’s nothing wrong with it I think the manager that works there needs to be fired even the employees have been talking about her behind her back I’ve heard them in the store I think whoever owns this place needs to do a little bit more checking up on their employees because that was so wrong to do me that way when they have another dressing room that they should have opened I have had so many problems with this place since that woman manager took over and if you asked me she’s a very rude person and does not need to be in any kind of position like that
Literally place trash on shelves for purchase. Things that cost a dollar at the dollar tree had $6.99 on it. Don’t waste your time. Poorly managed.
I am so appalled at how rude one of the staff members were at this location!!! I am shopping with my 3 month old daughter and have her in her carseat/stroller and this rude employee literally starts hanging stuff overtop of my infant baby and the clothes were draping all across the top of my baby!! She did not bother to even say excuse me and besides that’s just bs!!
