Your Top-6 list of music shops in Pierson

Have been in on several occasions now. Always greeted and taken care of in a friendly and professional manner, never pushy. Staff is very helpful. They have a great selection and very reasonably priced. Gives you that mom and pop type vibe instead of big corporate music store feel. I won’t go anywhere else.

Stopped by on my way back to Ohio and the have a huge selection of instruments and accessories. They have amazing prices compared to my hometown in ohio and was able to purchase a PRS for over $100 cheaper than where I live and their staff was very helpful assisting me in which guitar I should buy, if your looking to get your first instrument or if pro looking for something new they have anything and everything you need. Will definitely be visiting again next time I’m nearby!

Wow…great selection and options available. Also the people on the sales floor are welcoming and eager to help customers find what they need.

Very patient and helpful staff. Prices are near fair at this location as well. Very organized and clean facility.

Nice assortment of shredder guitars. I use ESP, Charvel, and Yamaha as my main guitars. I was very impressed with the selection of Jackson’s and ESPs. Not much Charvel stuff for one of the only “authorized” dealers (which was the reason for my visit). Lots of equipment for most any need you may have. The front counter guy and guitar tech were very helpful!

Phone directions and information very pleasant and helpful

This was my favorite store to purchase equipment in till one of the employees decided he needed to follow me through the store! I am walking down one aisle so he went down the other, I stopped and watched him and sure enough he turned around after he thought I was not looking to see what I was doing. Why are you profiling a 60 year old man. Because I am not the usual customer to this establishment? I wish I could return all the items I have ever purchased here!!!!!

The employees of this store knowingly tried to sell my wife (a beginner musician) a broken guitar. When confronted about it, they admitted they knew it was broken, and that they hid that fact from us, the potential customers, but we should have “done our research” before attempdint to buy a guitar.

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?

Excellent and fast, he made time for an emergency repair before a gig.

A great great luthier. Always bring my guitars to him

Peter worked on my Gary Moore Les Paul with neck issues. It was difficult to leave my instrument with a stranger, at the time, as it was the favorite in my collection. Peter came highly recommend, so I took the chance. Sometimes taking a chance hits the jackpot. To my amazement, Peter got the guitar playing and sounding better than the day I purchased it new in 2000. I now pay it forward and recommend Chellee guitars to anyone I can ..

The coolest statues and unique gifts.

I just received a meyer lemon plant for Mother’s day. It was packed with care and presented beautifully with burlap ,ribbon and a card. I was truly delighted. First plant I received in such excellent condition. Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous wreathes for gifts, holidays, or just a stunning decoration. Other great foliage products also available to order.

Nice place mazed with what they do there

We’ve requested several guitars from Brand O’ Guitar Company over the past few years. They’ve always been fantastic to work with. They provide excellent service and are very good communicators. Plus, their products are so fun! They’ve even gone above and beyond to help ship guitars across the country for our tradeshows, making sure they get there on time. Keep on ROCKIN’, Brand O’!

I wish that I could give this company 100 stars. Lisa & Gino are the best of the best & they go above and beyond on every order. I have ordered over 20 branded guitars for various projects and every time I am thrilled with the customer service, design, and finished product. We have been giving these guitars to the founders of companies that we invest in, and the recipients absolutely love them. Can’t recommend enough!!!

Jessica Bella and I are super impressed with the owner’s ambition and professionalism. We are excited to develop this relationship. 5-star first impression for sure.

Got some guitar strings

Very good service and very nice employee the give me all the information I need for my instruments. Thanks

The employees here are super helpful; this place is great

Really nice worker’s

They would not return some unopened items we purchased while trying out an instrument. I had to return for a manager and push to get some of the items returned. All I wanted was credit toward a different instrument and even that was a challenge. Make sure you want to keep what your buying.

They are exceptionally nice!

I’ve purchased two guitars from here so far. They don’t have a huge selection, but the prices are reasonable.

The 2nd one I got from this store was on clearance and they even knocked some off that, giving me a better deal than I could have gotten online for the same guitar,

Signed up for first time lessons a few weeks ago. When I showed up for my first lesson, the instructor was out of town. No one seemed to think it was important to notify me. Got a refund for the lesson, fine. Show up for my lesson the next week but they were double booked. Obviously there are communication issues at this location. If you’re going to sign up for lessons then I recommend verifying your appointment via the phone each time.

My child and I went here first before going to another local music store on recommendation. I dont usually post bad reviews but thought i must for anyone else having their child starting band. This place will try and pressure you into trying to buy whatever it is they have to sell for the week. the employees are rude and wont give you the time of day if you are there with just questions. not to mention the arrogance felt from them. save yourselves the time and find another store.

After calling and ensuring Music and Arts had clarinets for rent, when I arrived at the store, I was told that they haven’t had any for several days. Worse, when mentioning the fact that I called ahead, the employee disputed me on what I had actually asked on the phone: “you asked me if we EVER rent clarinets, not if we had any to rent right now!” Then went back to playing with a guitar for sale.

In conclusion, I was able to find the instrument and service I needed from another Central Florida music store; I doubt music and arts will get a second chance from me.
