been in the music scene for awhile, so i remember when this is how it always was….great store- spend your resources to help a real local act-
I buy all of my son’s music instruments and gear here. Austin is very knowledgeable and was super helpful when I purchased my son’s guitar. I purchased his keyboard from here 2 Christmases ago and it has been great. When he’s ready to upgrade we always come here.
Both locations are excellent! Customer service is amazing.
I didnt want to be too harsh…the place has a small selection at high prices, but does price match. The guy working there was nice. They can order things for you.
Bit pricey..but friendly
Polite staff, well located and reasonable prices.

This place is awful, The Workers was very Rude, and they and was very much a fraud. They tell one thing on the phone once you come in a They Run your credit the price jump up 1000.00. Be aware they Rent instruments that have been used 3 or more times for the price of a Brand new one.
3. Retrotone Guitars
Address: 5427 Martha Berry Hwy, Armuchee, GA 30105 , Shannon , Georgia , United States
My favorite guitar shop around. Easy to work with, they got my guitar fixed very quickly. I cannot recommend this place enough. Great selection of instruments, very friendly staff, and the guitar tech knows what he’s doing. I recommend this place over any other local shop.
I’ve been to Retrotone Guitars a couple times and I can say first hand that it has a more inviting and friendly feel than the “other” music shop in town. Josh, the store owner, is a great guy, a military vet and knowledgeable about what he does. He’s the kinda guy you can talk TO versus having talk DOWN to you like some folks can be in music instrument shops. If I can’t get it at Retrotone, I might consider trying online, but I would never waste my time at another local shop in the Rome area. No other local shop deserves my business.
My favorite transaction involved getting an Ibanez Artcore guitar that I’ve been in love with since first setting eyes on it. Keep up the great work Josh. It’s awesome seeing your business grow!
Great place.good people
4. Animal AV
Address: 202 E 4th Ave, Rome, GA 30161 , Shannon , Georgia , United States
All I can say about Capitoline Records is, AWESOME! Tons of great LPs and 45s for sale, along with a decent selection of used CDs as well. The owner is very friendly, and knows his trade well. 5 stars!
Cool vibes!! The storefront and inside space have great retro, vintage, antique mash-up style. Lots of art of various styles, pin-ball machines, instruments, and band t-shirts. A wide variety of vinyl albums and 45s arranged neatly and labeled well to enable finding what your genre or artist you’re looking for. Loved it! Great addition to Rome!
Amazing place and atmosphere. 100% will be visiting weekly.
Friendly staff, decent selection and prices but the inventory could stand with some organization
Didn’t have a very good selection of 45’s and what they did have were priced high. Of the two that we did want, one of them was cracked and the other one was not for sale.
7. Pete’s Music City
Address: 115 S Wall St, Calhoun, GA 30701 , Shannon , Georgia , United States
Always ready to answer question about music. Great place and awesome people
Always enjoy this store!
I really enjoyed my visit and everything they showed me. They informed me of a lot and they was really friendly. I guess the one negative I have is the books that will help guide you has disc’s as well and I don’t use anything that plays them. It would be nice if they had tapes I could play in the car.
Maybe a little high on prices but, He has a huge inventory of mostly new guitars and amps. Friendly and helpful staff. An all around great music store when there are not many left.
Good service
Friendly staff, clean environment and plenty of stools to sit in if you decided to pick up a guitar and play. But unfortunately the the selection was not there for me. Not trying to be negative but it really seemed as a store where somebody had went around for a while picking out the best guitars they could find at surrounding pawn shops cleaned them up and opened a store. Not saying you can’t find a good guitar at a pawn shop and not saying that they didn’t have guitars there just very dry selection.
