Awesome shop with an awesome owner. Lots of vintage guitar and bass amps, and a nice selection of new and funky vintage instruments as well. Good vibes!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The place was nice and clean, and had a decent selection of instruments. A variety of electric and acoustic guitars, 12 string, banjo, dobro, mini, good amplifier selection. New and used equipment, parts, accessories. I went in to make some time while my wife was getting coffee around the corner and walked out with an amplifier. Would come again if I am in the area.
Great deal on a new Les Paul. Very friendly service.
Despite receiving damaged item, supplying several pictures of clear damage, and messages from seller admitting it was damaged, they refused refund. Reviews from others with similar complaints also noted. Buyer beware.
I think this business is struggling and so they will be deceitful in any way to get a few extra dollars. Beware of this business, you will not receive friendly support if they make a mistake.
I highly recommend staying away from this place.
Dealt with these people on reverb. They ignored my messages, refused a refund twice, once before it had shipped out because the dimensions weren’t right to fit on my guitar. Then after no response for months, I posted on their facebook and they deleted my post. These people are scammers and deceivers. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.
3. Music & Arts
Address: 308 City Cir #1420, Peachtree City, GA 30269 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Exactly what it should be. I do wish they had a better selection of paper music
I wouldn’t say it’s the most amazing selection, but the staff are quite nice and the prices aren’t terrible. Descent local music shop
I have been there years ago.
The staff and employee was good but the guiter instructor was so bad old white men. For my experience, one day i wanted tell him I want to quick. And I said that. And then he walks around us and said to me ” I am a good teacher…” I have right to quit my lesson and he do not have right to treared me. It was so bad happen and I very frastrate that he still there.
I bought a Piccolo at an academy in November, but I had a problem with my bag, so I visited him on November 15 and asked the company again, the staff told me. However, the company did not call back after a month, but the answer was not from the company. So I applied again. But now the year has changed and they still can’t reach me. I’m really angry when I have to wait.
I placed an online order almost 20 days ago, I have yet to receive my order, but the funds have been taken from my account. I have emailed them twice to get a status update and have had no response. When I’ve called the person I spoke to said it was in hold but couldn’t tell me why. Said they fixed the problem and I should have my order in the next week. Still nothing. Now I just want my money back and will find another music store to do business with.
It was not easy to work with them to accomplish what I wanted. As a musician for 20 years, I was looking for a place to get some music equipment. Though the staff were friendly, their policies were not.
I was miffed when they could not get the item I wanted, then they said I would not be able to turn in the gift card for cash. This was disappointing to me. It does not speak well of customer service or helpfulness toward the customers goals.
If you’re looking for solutions regarding stringed instruments, I would recommend a local violin shop around the Atlanta area instead of the chain approach here. Or try to find what you want online.
4. Music Go Round – Atlanta/Duluth, GA
Address: 3675 Satellite Blvd # 100, Duluth, GA 30096 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Best place to buy used music gear in Georgia. Traveling bands MUST stop by here and check it out. #1 place to find odd and unique pieces of gear. Great for guitars, basses, amps, fx, drums, cymbals and pro audio.
They’re also a great place to buy band instruments for kids in school (particularly if you want to save money and don’t know if they’ll stick with it.)
The staff is excellent and owner is very kind and generous. Everyone involved in this store has been involved in the business for a long time. What you get as a customer is great service, experience and fairness.
I highly recommend any musician checking this store out online or in person. It sure beats shopping at “Guitar-Mart” 😉
Didn’t have what I needed, but the staff was really great.
Okay selection. Good layout.
Great idea: buy, sell, trade under one roof
Went in today to buy a few picks around 12 this afternoon. After grabbing a few, I went to pay for them. The guy in front of me just bought an amp and left to get his car to load his equipment up. I was standing there waiting to pay for my stuff and the guy behind the counter (without even acknowledging me) just walked away. I can’t imagine he didn’t see me. I’ve shopped there off and on for years and I never go out of my way to leave bad reviews, but this place earned it. I teach guitar and used this place for books, picks, and other things. I’m very understanding towards employees in retail and usually won’t make an issue out of most things. But, I was completely ignored and I won’t refer my students to ever go to this place to pick up anything they may need.
Cheap, well used gear.
Won’t ship items unless it has been in the store for 150 days!!! What a joke.
5. SMC Music
Address: 28 Central Plz, Rome, GA 30165 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Quality music equip at reasonable prices ..no pressure sales . sales reps seem to know the equip pretty well
SMC is my go to shop for quick pickup music supplies. Whether I’ve broken a string or got a short in one of my cords, the guys here will always hook you up with the best supplies to fit your needs.
I’m not the biggest fan of the brands they carry but thats me. However if you are looking for higher end Axe’s checkout their location at Broad Street Guitars they definitely have some amazing hardware for everything else this location covers all the needs.If you play and need your equipment maintained or repaired this is the place to go they have excellent and accessories and good prices for maintenance extremely knowledgeable personnel and very friendly. This is the one place to go for lessons no one can beat their prices.
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.
Poor selection but reasonable prices
Up to date on all of their equipment salespeople knowledgeable no wasted time
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.

6. Music Depot
Address: 304 N Main St, Cedartown, GA 30125 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Great at helping with problems, I couldn’t fix for my grandsons.. Bought a lot from here, never been disappointed . Great store.
Helpful and friendly. Enjoyed talking with the owner.
My visit & purchase was a very pleasant one thanks to Tammy who was more than helpful!
Merry Christmas Isaiah 48:17
Nice selection, especially for a small town.
Surprised by how extensive their selection of Lefty’s is, surprised and impressed.
It was fun to look at the beautiful guitars, even though right now, during this virus epidemic, you can’t touch anything unless you’re planning to buy it.
My wife bought a Walden acoustic guitar less than a week ago from this music store for me as a surprise. It fell off the stand and the top part of the neck “above the first fret” broke in half. I’ve been playing for 35 years and this has never happened before. The bottom of the guitar stand is 1 inch from the floor so it just fell lightly not slammed against the floor. We took it back and the owners refused to replace it or refund our money. We left the guitar there, out of our money and my gift to play music right now is at a haunt. So I would definitely not recommend this place. -Matthew Patrick Avery
Bought an avlex microphone from them that was totally defective. Not only did the store refuse to refund the money, they refused store credit as well. I’ve reported them to consumer reports and the better business bureau. They could’ve just refunded my money for selling me a broken piece of gear. Do not shop here if you don’t like getting ripped off. I’m a local musician and would’ve bought quite a bit of merchandise from them too. Their loss…
7. Jackson’s Music Store Inc
Address: 1651 Horizon Pkwy #500, Buford, GA 30518 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
These guys are awesome! They always go above and beyond to find what we need.
Great employees
Sons trumpet was having a valve issue. Jacob was able to fix it in no time. Super grateful for his speedy assistance!!
They have fair prices and a mini guitar-center-like selection of guitars. My only complaint is I felt pushed to make a sale when I looked at guitars.
Always pleasant – always professional and it’s been that way since I moved into the area!
I’ve read some of the complaints here and I’ve not had those experiences and I shop there a couple times a year. I also understand how smaller music stores value the integrity of their new products by trying to limit maring the guitar finish with picks. You wanna do that you’re right- go to Guitar Center.
First rate staff and ownership and first rate lessons with an experienced staff!
I’ll keep going back!
I come here for instrument repairs. I’m a professional musician that need his instrument asap. Mark at this location always fixes my sax perfectly. I’m going for a repad in the next two weeks
I had been going in the store for music lessons for boys and now it is on the way home from work.. I paid almost $60 for a microphone and a piece that connects it to the speaker. I like support mom and pop shops. The microphone did not work. When I tried to switch it with the same sales person I bought it from 3days before. He remember me and accuse me of damaging it and lying about it. He pulled it up and it did not work. Instead of apologizing he said if the new one broke I could not bring it back. I told he did not need to worry because I would not be back to that store. I went to speak to the owner and she ask him to apologize which he could not do and I told her it was okay and not necessary because I would not be back. I guess next time I will order it off online and pay 1/3 the price and not get such horrible treatment.
this store is downright awful. the service is terrible and they try to pull every penny out of your pockets. small fixes can be charge to up to $200 and is downright despicable.
Prices are a bit too high on certain instruments plus the employees are very nosey… If you respect personal boundaries go elsewhere.
8. Rockys Music
Address: 113 Front St, Sylvester, GA 31791 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Rocky is from the old school, but he is with the times. He offers competitive pricing, a large selection of items he can get quick, and he knows his stuff. He is very efficient and skilled in modifying, repairing and setting up guitars and basses.
He has always seemed as honest as the day is long and in my decades of knowing him, I have never experienced anything on the contrary. I highly recommend this place!
The absolute best music store! The owners are beyond knowledgeable about any music situation you could have. They are very friendly and very helpful. Rockys Music carrys many name brands and even carry Rockys signature Lyman guitars. Highly recommend this place!
Great store, nice people.
Do not in fact open at 10.
9. Allseasons Music Store
Address: 460 W Cherry St, Jesup, GA 31545 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
a wonderful, veteran owned music shop. the owner was extremely helpful in helping me find what i needed. he also let me play any instrument i wanted to in the shop, making my experience one to remember. being in the military, it was very enjoyable having a conversation with someone else, who served before my time. he also informed me he will be opening a bigger store soon!
It’s ok for this size town but if you’re looking for music you have to order it. Very nice personnel.
Great people really good service would have given 5 stars but prices are not competitive
At least 15% higher than Guitar center
Man they’ve got some nice stuff in there!
10. Attina’s Music Store Inc.
Address: 378 Glynn St N, Fayetteville, GA 30214 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
There are plenty of free parking spaces. The shop is in excellent shape and well organized. The shop has plenty of musical instruments to buy from guitars, drums, and wind instruments. They even have a repair person who fixes musical instruments like clarinets, saxophone and other symphonic band instruments. I had my Series III 62H Alto Saxophone fixed there and the workmanship was of superior quality and my saxophone has superior performance now. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the services that I received at Attina’s music shop.
Not enough room to display musical instruments. Cold hearted atmosphere
Good selection
Good store
It was obvious that my presence was causing discomfort to the manager/cashier/whatever. I was not allowed to play a certain Epiphone Les Paul (not even a Gibson) because ‘they wanted to keep it clean’. I am a frikin professional guitarist with 11 years of experience and no music stores have ever denied me of handling an instrument. Highly offending for a first time visitor’s impression.
Go to Guitar Center and avoid this place, you’ll be glad you did.
Expensive, great variety
Guy was on phone the whole time…and we waited. Not sure this is the norm but it was my one and only visit
11. Town Center Music
Address: 4072 Suwanee Dam Rd NW, Suwanee, GA 30024 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Everyone here is extremely helpful, experienced, and knowledgeable. I am a near complete beginner on guitar and was helped exceedingly by the very kind and nonjudgemental staff in which equipment would be good for me. The staff here is devoted to helping you get quality equipment that is best suited for your needs and takes times out of their day to listen to you and help. In addition, the teachers I have worked with have been extremely credited and helpful and the technicians skilled. Thanks!
Great people, took time to talk on the phone when I called, and then were very helpful when I came in – great music store!
Much better store I not been here in a while the past manager was not a music guy or a manger known as a air head I will be back
Good
Taught my kids to play guitar
Took down my review. Owner ultimately seemed to care about his customers. Too bad everything is so politically incorrect. Anyone still remember Archie Bunker?
But to clarify what idiot would try to exchange something opened, like a reed.
Amazon prime still winnnning.
AVOID AVIOD
High prices not helpful run by a guy who looks 40 and still in a garage band no music
background not open late any place better then here. Manger is clueless.
Went in there a couple days ago. Not a huge fan. Workers aren’t very pleasant people and they come up to you every 10 minutes kind of giving you the hint to leave if you’re not gonna buy anything like you’re in there too long.
Great for beginners I guess. Don’t come in here expecting higher quality equipment and experience. Name of their game is to hook beginners onto cheap equipment (which is totally fine) and get you out. No hanging out in there jamming for an extended time.
Maybe I came in on a bad day.
12. Attina’s Music Store Inc
Address: 155 Jonesboro Rd, McDonough, GA 30253 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Russ knowledge and expertise helped my students’ parent decide on what flute to purchase. What a great day!
Great service!
Great place to shop for the musically inclined. Staff was knowledgeable, courteous and professional.
Friendly service .
Quick and efficient service! I called to confirm that had an item in stock, and they did. When I arrived, they had the item at the register, I paid, and left. Perfect! I was there all of 5 minutes!
They are over priced and lame
They were friendly, but we kinda felt they were stand offish because my husband was asking all kinds of questions and we kinda felt that they was tired of being asked the many questions that my husband asked. They had a low selection of items and we felt that we was being pushed out of the store because he asked us a few times if we was ready to check out. So after a few times of being asked we checked out and left. Not sure if we will be going back or if we will make the hour trip to Fayetteville for all of our needs.
13. Jackson’s Music Store Inc
Address: 5485 Westmoreland Plaza, Douglasville, GA 30134 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Great workers, with pretty decent prices. The selection could use significant improvement though. Overall a nice place.
Good people
Great help.
Decent selection, friendly and helpful. I’ve been using them for almost ten years.
Hands-down the worst music store ever!
Avoid like the plague. Absolutely rubbish. I will never set foot in this garbage store again. Rented an audio system that was buzzing. And changed me extra for an extension cable that there was no proof that it existed.
Went in to look for an acoustic guitar, amp and some cables. Employee with beard and glasses kept following me around but wasn’t saying anything. It felt weird so I left.
14. Southern Music Company
Address: 1102 16th Ave E, Cordele, GA 31015 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Hey guys it’s always a great pleasure working with you. Thanks
Great folks and they are straight up about things.
Best place in South GA, they did some repairs on my grandfather’s 1980 ibenez guitar and just all round great job, best people to do business with when it comes to guitars and other musical needs
Cool
This is a nice locally owned music store. Very good selection of guitars and other musical instruments. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by and support a small business!
15. String Theory Music
Address: 204 W 4th St, Adel, GA 31620 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Travis teaches my daughter guitar. She has gone for several years on and off. He is excellent with the kids and even wrote out sheet music for Dolly Parton’s 9-5 so she could play it on guitar.
Very friendly and caring service. Found exactly what I needed for a price I could afford!
Very friendly and helpful with your question and needs
16. JAWS GUITARS
Address: 111 Mountain Vista Blvd #135, Canton, GA 30115 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
My husband loves this place. Talks about it all the time. The owner is very friendly and knows my husband by name. Will be back soon
Pro owner, Pro equipment. Great prices and the only pro store in town
Great shop, owner is very helpful! He took the time to get to know me as a customer and give advice were needed. Much appreciated!
Cool store no other music stores in Canton owner is cool
Knowledgeable, friendly owner. Cozy shop and nice environment. Now, if I could just magically learn how to play…..I’d give it one more star….
Great sound equipment at reasonable prices compared to the big box music stores. The gentleman, who I assumed was the owner, was very knowledgeable about everything musical.
I needed a setup for my Gibson Les Paul and decided to give Jaws a shot because of their overwhelmingly positive reviews. I dropped of my guitar and told the luthier that I was experiencing a lot of fret buzz. The turn around time was very quick and I was able to pick it up the next day. I was told that there would still be some buzz based on my attack, which seemed like a cop out. I asked if there were any high frets and I was assured that there were none. I took the guitar home and played it to find that I was still experiencing buzzing even when strummed lightly. I pulled out the fret rocker to find that several of my frets were high despite what the shop told me. Overall, this was a waste of time and money and I’m very disappointed with the level of service.
17. Guitar Center
Address: 186 Banks Crossing, Fayetteville, GA 30214 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Helpful, knowledgeable staff. Over the years coming to GC, they have never let me down.
Nice
The customer service has gone down over the years. You can still find good gear there.
Not much there but good instruments. The staff really know their stuff. My brother is putting a keyboard on layaway. Its beautiful.
Great music store with wide selection of new and used equipment ranging from guitars to DJ gear. Check their website for lots of additional used inventory; sometimes their online deals are better than in-store offers.
Terrible service and poor communication. Place was a mess a d looked like they were going out of business.
This Guitar Center has really gone downhill. Guitar Center should have reps that visit these stores to see what’s going on in them. This location has been bad even before covid. 2 stars for its location and friendly staff. I really wish someone would take over this location and do it right.
I recently visited the store in Fayetteville and just to warn everyone…..be ready to wait a hour for whatever you are trying to get…..they are terribly slow and customer service sucks….they need to hire more people!!!!!!
18. Ponce De Leon Music Center
Address: 1060 Dahlonega Hwy, Cumming, GA 30040 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Came from out of town and they let me practice a little bit in their store and I thank them great guys
Friendly faces and prompt but not pushy service.
Very pleased
Their prices are a little high but this is definitely the best store to get your instrument needs. It’s a heaven for our family
Quick. Super helpful. Plenty of staff.
Very surprised! Went looking for some some used records left with a bundle. I’m definitely going back. The guy who was working the shop at the time was helpful and knowledgeable.
Had to make a quick stop to grab a few things. I know it was closing time. I was trying to make it quick. When they started harassing my husband reminding him when they close he left and we took our business somewhere else. Customers want to feel welcomed, not reminded how unfortunate you are to have to lock the door right at 5:00.
The customer service is awful I definitely won’t be back there every again
19. All Star Music Center
Address: 3981 Athens Hwy, Loganville, GA 30052 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
My son (9 years old) has been coming here for about 7 months now for Piano lessons. His teacher is good and keeps my son’s interest high (Believe me it’s not an easy task). Thankful for that.
The owner John is a cool dude, sometimes I wish I have his job. They sell many music instruments at this place and they also do repairs.
I’m not into music, but I can tell that customers are happy with the service they get.
Got some good referral here for a piano tuner which worked great for me.
They do have other teachers here for guitar and I think drums too.
Great staff
Amazing and friendly staff!! This is my new go to for me and my fiancés guitar repairs etc!!!
Very friendly. Awesome teachers.
Tienda pequena pero buen servicio
Guy running the store was very helpful and knowlegable.
Place needs to just close! doubt me, go see what I’m talking about.
I’ve been here 3 times during store hours. nobody at the store go to another shop.
Literally 4:08pm on a Saturday I show up. They were not open. Sign on the door says 10am-6pm. Very disappointed.
20. Pro Music Outlet Inc
Address: 4135 Lavista Rd Suite 210, Tucker, GA 30084 , Taboada , Georgia , United States
Can we talk about how helpful and knowledgeable their staff is! I came in with all the questions and they were so patient with me. Rad took the time to show me how to use the software on some equipment and Tony explained to me everything I needed. As a consumer, I felt they were honest and very reasonable with their pricing. I’m so excited to use their equipment for my voiceover work ahead!
BEST PRICES IN TOWN! Awesome customer service, love the selection!
Great place, came in for reeds for my daughter and ended up learning two things. Piccolo is not only a DBZ character but also a small flute, and Zelda played an Ocarina. Definitely coming back place is awsome!!
Amazing service and prices. Gotta love them
I shopped with them before. The prices are a little to steep now. Good company for music needs, but expensive.
The owner Tony goes out of his way to make sure I have everything that I need. This is why I keep coming back to shop with Pro Music!
Great place if you want to buy equipment. Not so much if you want to sell your items . I’ve called the owner about some things I wanted to sell to this location, each time the owner lied and said he wasn’t there or he would call back tomorrow. Very unprofessional if you ask me , if you don’t want to do something just say it .. don’t lie to a customer.
Never open, when I visit
UPDATE:
I have visited 4 times, during business hours, only to find a sign saying there are closed for a break.
These people cap Smh. Sold me a 100 mic.
In I end up looking it up smh this same mic is 22.dollars on Amazon. I Took it back right away
Alllllll Cap Over there look up the merchandise prices before u bye
I learn my lesson
