A great stringed-instrument and amp repair shop, with an ever-changing assortment of cool used instruments for sale — owner Bryon Knight is very knowledgeable and talented, and will treat you (and your instruments) right. Also has a wide assortment of strings and other accessories — search him out, it’s well worth the effort!
Professional! That is the one word I would use to describe this business. Bryon was knowledgeable, helpful and best of all did a fantastic job replacing the nut on my Martin. I wish I had known about this place a long time ago. I will be going here from now on for all my guitar repair needs.
Sweet place
Nice, friendly environment. This guys is experienced in his craft and genuine in the way he conducts business. A rare find these days.
Great spot, super amount of knowledge and experience with repairs among other services. Same problem everybody else has with out of stock items here and there.
I took my 2001 Les Paul to Bryon and Dave in February 2019 for a basic set up. I bought it new and always stored it in the case and very rarely had it out. Very careful with it. The guitar only had one very small blemish on the front. When I got it back it had several deep dents on top edge close to the back and a couple dents in the back itself. They swear they did not damage it but I know for a fact it wasn’t damaged when I dropped it off. I had just polished it before I took it there. Bryon had promised it would be ready Saturday the 23RD and it was not. He then told me it would be ready the following Monday which it was. I’m not sure if they just got in a hurry or what exactly happened but they pointed to the paperwork stating they were not responsible for any damage…. Not a good way to run a business. I should have inspected it and made note of any defect with them before dropping it off. Lesson learned!!!
Dishonest and lazy. He has earned that distinction with me after implying that I attempt to make and sell a counterfeit guitar on the market. His boundaries are not clear. He should have refused the work order instead of hemming and hawing trying to teach me a lesson in trademark infringement. I also hired him to put Seymour Duncans in a Squire. When I called him for progress report he said he was “working on it now”. I go back 2 weeks later and the Seymour Duncans hadn’t even arrived yet. I have no trust in dishonest and lazy people. Oh, and Bryon, please dont call me about this post. If you’re a good luthier, I suggest you keep your nose in the workshop out of site from the customers.
Took a vintage martin guitar for repair. Ended up with a bad experience. I’ll just leave it at that.
I’ve cycled through a lot of guitars throughout the past year trying to find one that was me. After receiving my custom order scrambler from Dave I can safely say I’ve found it. This guitar sounds amazing and plays like butter. Dave seriously exceeded my expectations. I’m saying this after owning a Frank Brother Arcade, a couple of Walsh’s, a Dunable Cyclops, a Fender Custom Shop Strat, a Novo, and an Ernie Ball Music Man Albert Lee BFR. If you’re in the market for a custom axe, I strongly suggest you consider buying a Fry.
Dave Fry is really cool down to earth guy that cares about his customers and goes above and beyond to try and help you with anything he can. The guitars he produces are a work of art that he puts his heart and soul into and it shows. Not only do they look and feel amazing they play and sound even better they are truly some of the finest handcrafted guitars around. His shop is very clean and organized and they even have live shows there from time to time. All and all it was a pleasure and great experience buying from him and recommend you give him holler if your interested you wont be disappointing and defiantly deserves more then 5 stars.
They are always super friendly and extremely helpful! I highly suggest using them!
These people are always so kind and helpful!
Very nice place
Lovely and very friendly staff. They are so welling and happy to help you with anything you need or may have questions about. Definitely recomend going here. Only reason didnt give them 5 stars, is some of the items/parts are pricey compared to online. But if you need it immediately or just cant find it online then go here. I’d also recommend comparing their price for what you need before making the decision. They have things on sale.
Very friendly staff!
The lady that works in here, is like you are bothering her when you come inside the store, like really? Anyways after coming back in to make a payment as my wife had forgotten to one time, she didn’t mind being nice once she knew she getting money. Flute is almost paid for, and will never come back if we need another item.

Sweet Home Alabama.
Vintage apparel, LPS and even fresh little set up to lounge around. This place does not give off any bad vibes. From the moment you walk in, you will fall in love with this hometown record store!
Even if you’re new to collecting or going on years, the owner carries all the wisdom as any elder collector would and can help you find anything you want.
Respect to this place, for it started during COVID and is still bring in the customers!
Poor selection but friendly]
Most of their records are in boxes under the counter and in the back. Went there twice. Second time the girl greeted us with, “Back so soon?” Pat’s vinyl in Fountain Lake much better.

Address: 5699 State Hwy 298, Benton, AR 72019 , Saline County , Arkansas , United States
I had the pleasure of tracking an EP at Redroom with John few years back, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the results. As a producer, John seems to pull ideas from a limitless well of inspiration; but he understands how to guide you into creating something fresh, rather than simply telling you to make a change. As an engineer, John is well-versed and efficient, saving valuable studio time when dialing-in tones or making edits. Excellent tones, excellent mix. Highly recommended!
One of the BEST experiences I’ve had actually has been with John @Redroom!I had zero professional OR personal complaints with my experience and my results 😉 I rave about the work done and the support I had all the time!

These guys always have the best customer service ever….they rock!
They are nice and helpful
It was freaking amazing
Very helpful staff
Smart folks and very helpful
Awesome place great service
These guys are the worst! I bought a loop station last week and when I got home I realized there was no power cord with the product. I called up there and spoke to the kid who sold it to me and he acted like I should have known it didn’t come with a power cord. I’m sorry, I just assumed that when u buy an electronic device it comes with the cord that powers it! Another time, a lady sold me a $20 card on the expectation that I will get $5 off a purchase every month for a year. What she didn’t tell me is that u have to make a purchase once a month for it to be valid. So I just basically donated $20 to guitar center because I was lied to.
Rude people
Store manager Brandon hates homeless people and kicks anyone out of the store who he thinks is trash. Very disrespectful and disappointing.please treat people with respect n matter what they look like.

My one stop shop for all my musical needs. You can also record tracks. Awesome place.
Awesome place
Nice music shop.
I bought everything from guitar cases to a JBL top of line PA from them before I found out they are totally BOGUS! Sold me used merchandise as new, then got an attitude when I called them on it! Cuss me out when you’re a thiefing liar? I don’t think so! I wouldn’t buy a guitar pick from these people!!!
Not enough inventory
I bought a lot of things from Brent when the store sold instruments and amps and was always happy with them. Unfortunately, things have changed. I brought a guitar in that needed a rewire job. I was aware they were busy with festivals but they kept my guitar for 2 months and finally called and told me they didn’t have time to fix it. Needless to say, I wont be back.

David puts the customer first. He is open and honest with information and suggestions and has a wealth of knowledge in music.
I’m so glad I found the Rosen Music Co. My son decided to play the clarinet this year and I have absolutely zero experience with musical instruments so it was such a relief to find someone who would walk me through it and help me without the pressure of someone trying to push me to buy something I didn’t need. He is very patient and friendly. He even helped my son with his finger placement while we were there. He will forever be my go to guy for anything instrumental and I highly recommend this company.
Very warm and caring staff. Mr. Rosen is a honest and caring person, making sure all customers are satisfied
