I trust this man with my guitars. A gem in this town.
Mike is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He helped my daughter string and tune her guitar. What a great place!!!
I had a great experience dealing with Mike, the owner. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and managed to repair my guitar while I waited. Not pushy at all, in my opinion; just willing to share his expertise on a subject in which he happens to be a professional; stringed instruments. I recommend giving Hobo Guitars a try!
Chill local guitar shop. Helpful and knowledgeable, I’ll be back.
The prices of his items are overpriced when I can get everything he sells for cheaper on Amazon. He also low balls customers if you want to sell him your guitar. If I were you, I would just go to another shop.
The owner is rude, and the merchandise is overpriced. $70 for a set of bass strings, got the exact same set for half that online. I wouldn’t recommend visiting, you’re better off finding a different store
3. Ken Franklin
Address: 2790 Oak Court Rd, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
Secret spot..street tacos and the best falafel plate I have ever had outside of egypt. Grab and go. A few outdoor tables.
they have excellent food, and all kind of beers. A greate place
Locally owned corner store with a good selection of household and convenience items despite the store’s small size. Tasty selection of Mexican and Mediterranean food made to order, two self-serve gas pumps, and always friendly service. OH! And treat yourself to the baklava while you’re there; you’ll thank yourself after.
Good food, locale older store.
You’re same old hole in the wall liquor mart. The food there is pretty good and fairly priced for how much you get. I recommend the burrito personally.
Tiny overpriced gas station
This place has the worst food plus horrible service. Enter at your own risk.
Overpriced
8. KLAProductions
Address: 2058 Sanford Ranch Rd, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
This place is AWESOME. Heidi and Tom are super helpful. Very friendly environment. Great deals on jewelry.
They are very friendly and I don’t feel judged I appreciate the help and they appeasements often free and that can cost a fortune so I love this place
Best pawn shop ever dealt with by far highly recommend
Very good for a local small town pawn shop. Limited stock so don’t expect what you find in the big city. Good people and good prices. I do like local shops and support them if they are well run
“Best in town
overall, a pretty good place. not the best, but you can find some good deals and if someone is complaining about not getting the best price for something, they must not know how pawn shops work. ive bought and sold things here for more than a fair price and will happily continue to do so, as i have been treated well and kindly by the staff. i highly recommended at least taking a look around.
I didn’t care for the lady up front brought in some music equipment to sell or see if they were interested in pawning them and she didn’t give me a moment to explain she was quick to say I don’t think that’s something we are interested right now. I was like are you kidding me you didn’t bother to see what I had to offer… Anyways I guess that’s ukiah for you
Those are not great people. Loan sharks, not honest, cheap diamond tester, don’t know why anyone would say great people.
Rip-offs. Heidi lacks the capacity to learn more about her merchandise. Very difficult and disappointing.
12. Clutts Co. Vintage Supply
Address: 108 N School St, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
Incredible style and clothes! I asked Clutts Co. to look for some specific pieces for an athletic photoshoot I was doing for my fitness brand. They found everything I needed and put together a rad wardrobe. Looking good leads to feeling good, feeling good leads to confidence. Use Clutts Co. to create that positive change! If you want to turn up the energy on your new look check them out asap!
The best vintage tee collection & Levi’s collection I’ve ever seen. Jon & Dave bring it when it comes to digging deep for the VTG goods. Thanks so much guys for doing your part
Got fitted for a concert Tyler Rich’s wife Sabina came down and danced with us. These guys have layers to their inventory for men and women. This isn’t the botique two stitch reprints, these are all truly original pieces, hand picked over the last 6 years. Bringing back what we all took for granted in the 90’s. Thanks CluttsCo.
Shirt I wanted didn’t come in my size, but the selection was amazing! Still very happy with my purchase!
Great inventory! Just didn’t have the tee I wanted in my size unfortunately
13. Walmart
Address: 1155 Airport Park Blvd, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
Great selection! Wonderful staff. Very curious and helpful!
Great
Easy quick in and out. Safe.
Not so much on the shelves
Staff was great and friendly. Sadly, due to this virus situation, most of thread in the crafts and sewing department was wiped out.
I wanted real white thread. Sigh…
Clean store, just not enough choices for foods.
Pésimo servicio de envíos en parte por la persona que atiende
huh….
Is this a Walmart or a 7-11? We’ve traveled this whole country and never have come across a place like this. A lot of nothing, only a little of what people need. And no fresh fruit or vegetables. But this was a Sat afternoon.
14. Strings & Things
Address: 901 N Main St, Lakeport, CA 95453 , Talmage , California , United States
Jim is the man. He sold me a blue Squire that I am loving. Zero pressure maximum help.
Owner is very nice and was very helpful. Not a large showroom but I found everything I needed and there was a lot of guitars and amps to look through.
Love this little shop. Has everything you need for your musical needs. The owner is very knowledgable and also offers lessons for any skill level, and repairs for your instruments as well! Highly recommend for anyone around the Lake looking for a music store
I have been a guitar player for years…strings and things has it all!!! Jim is a very nice guy and knows a lot. I love the small town feel in his store!!!!
Ok for various things.
Nice little place with several items to choose from. Jim, the owner, is very knowledgeable and can provide lessons and repair.
I found Jim to be cold and disinterested, borderline hostile unfortunately. I order the strings he has never heard of online. Jim appears to be a bit of a fence. I would question the provenance of an instrument from this shop. The music shoppe from a Stephen King film.
15. Main Street Music & Video
Address: 65 S Main St, Willits, CA 95490 , Talmage , California , United States
well, first off they are the only game in town.. secondly the employes are good for a lot of things. They take my fedex deliveries, trade insults like pros, they even serve bar food to soak up the alcohol and , and make movie recommendations!!
It’s had its day and is trying to remain open in a world where DVD rentals are no longer in demand
You want music? They have it. You want movies? They have them. Box sets as well. Good store.
Staff was awesome. Pizza was OK. CD selection was amazing.
Horrible the worst
Ever know that place that could be awesome if it wasnt out of date and expensive?
16. Frank Shorts Music & Recording
Address: 537 S Main St, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
No longer at this location. I believe that they closed their doors. There is another shop in its place. Not a music shop either. Sadly, this town does not have the kind of shops we used to. There are still Hobo Guitars and Mendocino Music Recyclers.
I have not been in either one before, however, I am going to check them out today. I have two electric guitars I need some advice on. I look forward to doing reviews on them when I complete visiting them!
(Three stars are because I had to rate the store or it would not publish this. It was a good store while it was there.)
17. Mendocino Music Recyclers
Address: 160 W Henry St, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
This place has great service, and awesome gear. It more of a modification shop which is perfect for me since I’m trying to achieve my own sound, but they have awesome amps and guitars from time to time it just a matter of stopping by and checking it out.
18. Dig Music
Address: 362 N State St, Ukiah, CA 95482 , Talmage , California , United States
Best music store in town. Very friendly folks. I took in my clarinet and the owner fixed it for me at no charge. It only needed a dab of glue.
