It is nice to finally put a face to that totally awesome music that I have been thoroughly enjoying as it dances its way down my street and into the yard. Just wanted you to know that my family has been tuning in to your free concert series 🙂 please keep it up!!!!
P.S. we live right around the corner from you down Arroyo and on Sunny Palm!
Your Adoring Fans (lol),

7. the Guitar Attic
Address: 1672 Ridgewood Ave, Holly Hill, FL 32117 , Ormond-by-the-Sea , Florida , United States
Guitar Attic is the best place in Florida to buy a guitar for two reasons:
1) Randy is a fantastic guitar player who continues to play professionally. I was lucky enough to play in three different bands with him. He is versatile and talented.
2) Randy has owned and played more different guitars than any other person I know. So, he REALLY knows guitars, amps and all the pedals and other equipment.
So, you don’t just get a guitar, you get Randy. He will work with you and find you a new or vintage instrument that will help you get just the sound you’re looking for.
Love you Randy, Kevin

Great selection, priced right and Randy is very knowledgeable about the inventory. Stock is refreshed on a regular basis. He gets new guitars all the time.i would reccomend this if you are in the market for a guitar amp or pedal.
Quaint, privately owned store. Nice selection of preowned guitars. Prices comparable to typical Guitar Centers
Good place for guitars
Ok shop but needed a mask just to enter, not doing much business, high prices
That fruit loop would only let 2 people at a time in the store plus you have to wear a mask. And doesn’t let you play any of the guitars because “covid” will get on the strings. Don’t waste your time never go to this store.
I’m a little upset with this man’s integrity. I was requesting a pair of 12 -56 gauge acoustic strings. And I said my girlfriend would be by shortly to pick them up. I called his business before they were open and left a voice message. There was no miscommunication he does not carry 12-56 he carries 12-54. So when she showed up to get them and she asked if they were the right ones and he told her yes. She trusting that the order was correct left with the strings.
He didn’t say “by the way, we only carry 12-54” do you think he would need them still? No!!! He just took the sale. And she said he wasn’t very friendly or polite.
I used to come get my strings there as much as I could to support locals but that is an Integrity violation to me.
How do you even sell anything with your hours?

Jay is the man !! He is very knowledgeable and kind in his approach to teaching. I high recommend his services. Amazing man , musician and teacher.
Mr. Sandifer is teaching two of our children currently, one drums, one piano. We are so grateful for his calm, positive and upbeat demeanor with the children. Learning something new can be very intimidating but Mr. Sandifer has made them comfortable, they have zero hesitation in working with him and love going to their lessons! We will recommend PianoDrumsGuitar to all of our friends!
I had a great experience working with Jay! He is super talented, and very patient! I would recommend him to anyone looking to take their music to the next level!

These guys are nice guys and they know guitars
Very patient and helpful staff. Prices are near fair at this location as well. Very organized and clean facility.
Phone directions and information very pleasant and helpful
After being hung up on, I called back to continue asking questions about a certain product. Employee was short and unhelpful
The fact that i have to ask someone to try a guitar out Is a hassle , never been to a guitar store like that . I like to have privilege to play guitars without someone watching me is everything. Thank you
I’m a little conflicted on how to rate these guys. The plusses are that the sales associate I worked with was very helpful, friendly and well-versed, and the guitar I bought was excellent.
The downside is that I cannot help but feel that this store acted inappropriately. I was in Daytona for vacation, and bought a $300 Yamaha git at the store to play while on vacation, with the agreement that they would do free shipping back home after I played it for a few days on vacation (the website says all shipping is free to the lower 48 states). Win/win, right?
When I took it back to the store 4 days later (as planned), the manager told me that I was going to have to pay approximately $40 in shipping (since they erroneously charged me sales tax). When I told her about our agreement, she said she would honor it, but would take it out of the sales guy’s paycheck. Of course, I said that was inappropriate, and paid the shipping. But that’s a terrible way to do business. I felt she acted dishonestly. And what is a bit ironic is that I fell in love with a $600 Yamaha transacoustic (great git, btw!), and was going to buy it on the spot and have it shipped home. Given the margins on a guitar like that, her being greedy to not pay shipping (when the website SAYS free shipping) cost her store at least a coupe hundred $$$. The sales guy did right, and worked a good deal for everyone, that she then screwed up.
In short, the manager of the store demonstrated to me that I could not trust her, and by extension the store, so I will simply spend my music instrument dollars (several thousand) elsewhere. That poor customer service cost her $600 today, so I hope the extra $40 for shipping was worth it.
UPDATE 2020: Heading to Daytona for vacation again later this summer. Going to buy another guitar for vacation, almost certainly a 1xx or 2xx series Taylor. Going to buy it from Guitar Center, instead of this place. Had you just honored your word and done the right thing (i.e what you PROMISED to do) I would have bought this $1000+ git in your store. But being unethical has it’s costs; if I can’t trust you to stand behind your word, I won’t ever give you another penny. Still glad you stuck me with the shipping bill?
