We go there all the time for sticks, it’s a great place and the staff is always nice and they are helpful if you need them .
My grandson is blind and they are so kind to him when he goes in there
Helped my find a pair of hi def. Ear plugs for an up coming concert.
One of the better GC locations I have been too. Nice amount of merchandise.
Good selection, awesome teachers, excellent help
Nice store but they have an added amenity fee for all purchases.
Horrible experience. No service. Drove 50min to Sam Ash after waiting 45min. Purchased what we needed at competitor store due to lack of customer service and merchandise.
Brought my son in Friday. He was interested in an e-drum set. They had 3 to choose from, and we knew zip about the differences. Young salesperson said he would help, but was far more interested in helping others. I like the selection, but not the help. We decided to look elsewhere
Bad experience kris the manager total rude guy got mad for us recording I mean who dose that ? Is that a policy for ppl not to record spent a lot in that store for him to do that need to learn how to treat customers also we spent over $8000 of sound equipment an for him to do that ? Don’t waste your time coming there if that guy kris is there

Went there on Saturday with my sister. Prices were great, the lowest I could find was 1$. The staff was very funny, helpful, and kind. When I failed to find a certain album I was looking for, the owner was nice enough to order it for me and have it mailed to the location. An overall amazing store with great staff, a large array of tapes, cds, and vinyl, with reasonable prices.
What a great place. Like a scavenger hunt for great old music on vinyl!
I visit every time I am in town and find something I have been looking for on every visit. I can’t get out without spending between $300 and$400.
Best record place around.
I dont do vynyl, but just lookin for a cd or 2 , glad ur havin the 1/2off special becoz every cd is a little pricey. Thats just becoz there’s no other store literally around.
The old guy has anger issues when asking a question and smokes cigarettes in the store so everything smells.
They didn’t have anything that we was looking for old records 78th and stuff like that was all they had we was hunting you stuff or you stuff that was up to date
dont buy any used electronics from them bought a reciever worked for aout a week, then died, turntable lasted about a month then same, dead, now of course they do not offer any warranty so you are taking them on good faith that what they are selling but really, about 200 bucks flushed down the toilet and buy the way you better check the mandate from the Govenor the next time you refuse entrance over ”mask” issues you are now in direct violation of that mandate class actions suits are very effective
5. Total Entertainment Music Store
Address: 501 W International Speedway Blvd, Daytona Beach, FL 32114 , Volusia County , Florida , United States
Lots of cool stuff. The guys that work there are very knowledgeable and work with you until you get exactly what you want. I go here and no where else for my musical needs.
Call ahead and told them what I needed and we got in and out. My daughter starting middle school band so we needed supplies. They had everything the school ask for and much much more!
Wow…great selection and options available. Also the people on the sales floor are welcoming and eager to help customers find what they need.
Total Entertainment has been here at this exact same spot for as long as I can remember. And I been local here since 1989They have everything you could need to start testing you’re musical talents or to start you’re own band.If they don’t have it if it’s actual thing, they can maybe order the item for you, they are great. Not to be a Debbie downer, but due to how this pandemic has been playing out,I just wish you guys would do a little bit more for you’re online shopping community.Things like info on deals&sales ,store cataloged in store items. Like the hardware, guitar pickups ,mics ,strings,skins for the drum set incase you break one. It would a lot quicker just to come down and shop in store than online, but sometimes you might not be able to make that trip, but to just pull out the ol phone and order them strings before I forget. I mean there’s shipping cost, that’s the price one must pay for not choosing to shop in store.
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
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.
Ok products, but staff is super pushy and greasy car salesmen attitude and always talk to you like you have no clue about anything. Not my first experience like this here even, been going for years and it’s never changed.
I called to have a lyre held for my son’s upcoming event. I told them my name and I’d pick it up after work, since it was the last one left. Instead, they sold it to someone else!!! When I called to voice my issue, whomever I spoke to said he was sorry and that was my prerogative to go somewhere else. That’s the thanks I get for shopping local. They just lost my business and everyone else I come into contact with (which is a lot of people in my profession). If you say you will hold it, you should do so. Bad business practice and very unprofessional. It is a shame small businesses are closing due to places like amazon, but this is a prime example why.
In response, your version of events is completely false to cover your own reputation. I called and the business was about to close in ten minutes. I was told when you reopened and I left my full name. I also called back when you reopened and informed them my husband would pick it up that day. He showed up THAT VERY DAY and it was sold. Your version of events is incorrect sir. Your excuses won’t help your poor business practice. Maybe try taking some accountability for wasting our time and offer a sincere apology or resolution? I can’t imagine how you treat customers who actually have a bigger concern or complaint at your establishment. Being rude, unethical, and a blatantly lying about the events just to cover your own shortcomings that led to my review just proves what kind of person you are. I’m more than happy to spend our money somewhere else sir.

Put new pickups and redid all of the electronics for a great price, that along with the great setup has my Epiphone playing and sounding like a Gibson.
Erik refretted and set up my 25 y/o Taylor 814CE perfectly. He’s fast and has very reasonable prices. Highly recommend for any guitar work.
I am the original owner of this 1987 Taylor 815c. I ordered it with a 1-7/8″ nut width to accommodate my large hands. It is a one-of-a-kind guitar I have been playing 35 years. It was becoming unplayable needing new frets, binding, and a nasty crack in the top fixed. After talking to several techs I considered shipping back to Taylor for a restoration but wasn’t willing to risk shipping it. I took a chance on Eric at Sunland Guitars after a discussion about it. I could not be happier with the results. Now it plays beautifully, in tune, with no buzzing. I won’t hesitate to send any repair work to him in the future.
Excellent experience. Loved the organized repair format. Erik was super efficient and knowledgeable. In no time, restored my guitar to its former glory. Thanks again.
Very prompt and professional help. Definitely would recommend a visit. Don’t throw out that old guitar, these guys can fix it up for you!

Very clean and welcoming environment. good conversation,good prices. I’m glad this place is here will revisit.
Great independent record store@
Extremely depressing atmosphere, no air circulation at all, and had a smell that I cant really describe. Whoever was tending the register at the time was fine though, I didn’t really think they had bad customer service or anything. It just had a very unwelcoming feel to it.
Nice set up with stock divided and alphabetically sorted. Owner was welcoming and knowledgeable. Mostly vintage used material but well worth a visit.
Un poco elevado los precios de los vinilos, pero buenas cosas
Prices are kinda high.
Another sad example of overpriced “vinyl revival” store.
Even the CDs were silly priced.
Best pawn shop in town hands down nice friendly and always can work something out for ya!!!
Kent had a fab experience. Guitar serviced and restrung. Special Thank You to Dana Carroll for taking. Great care of my Hubs.
amazing selection of music equipment and they were willing to answer all my questions!
I went in looking at some guitars for a friend and ended up getting a gift for my wife. Had a great experience with fair prices and the guys were very chill.
Great guys ….. Helpful
Throughout my time in Daytona I’ve done plenty of shopping here, from Xbox, to Rifles, they take care of customers and will work a price to make a sale.
Called you see if they had somthing guy didn’t even bother to look just was very rude about it!!! I will not be taking my business here ever!! Not the way to treat would be costumers!!!
Advertise they deal in quality instruments. They have no clue about quality or vintage instruments. Everything I saw there were cheap Japanese knock offs or low quality Mexican knockoffs . Or just cheap low end instruments. Waste of time.
Walked up to the establishment 5 till 5:00PM When Google says its open till 6. With cash in hand to buy an Xbox1 and tney said they were closed and refused to make a sale. Not the first time I’ve had a bad experience with this establishment. One time they told me a price on a T.V when i got there they raised the price on the TV from the price they gave me on the phone after riding an hour on the bus. This establishment also gives horrible loans on any type of merchandise and the employees have very poor knowledge on the merchandise they have for sale.
Very Unprofessional people and not customer service friendly at all.. I wish i could rate 0 stars. Unless it has something to do with music instruments or equipment i wouldnt advise giving them your time of day
I love that there I’d ever wanted to leave but they wouldn’t feed me
It feels like home and I plan to keep it that way. Great place and great people.
Amazing local music studio with awesome vibes. Very chill environment with a cool staff. Very friendly and reasonable prices. Great place for events and band practices. Stage is always setup and ready to go with cool lighting for video shoots. Best local family owned studio in town.

In era of big box music stores, staffed by sales reps instead of working musicians, Randy and The Guitar Attic is a breath of fresh air. Excellent inventory of rare and classic guitars, amps, pedals and accessories ! Brought in two guitars for setup. Perfection, the setup on the PRS was better than any previous setup I have had. The Les Paul, battered and bruised sounds like a Les Paul again. Randy is the reason why you buy from a real guitar shop. Randy Rocks! Five Stars …
Randy was awesome. Bought a guitar for my son, Randy was patient, explained the different guitars to my son, gave him a demo. Great experience!
It was great talking about all the old school music.
Good place for guitars
Ok shop but needed a mask just to enter, not doing much business, high prices
The guitar tech Steve works on Friday and Saturday…. Had a setup done at Total Entertainment that was giving me fits so I decided to give Guitar Attic a try. Steve determined that the nut was low on the problem string… Now it’s much better… I made some setup adjustments on my own and now have my epi dot just about right.. Probably needs a new nut and saddles…. I’ll most likely spend about $400 more because I want to install MinE-T-Tune, compensating nut, and upgraded saddles.. They could have also sold me strap locks but forgot I asked for them.
I also brought a Hofner Bass kit that I couldn’t seem to wire without a diagram… Steve and I figured it out with a little troubleshooting… It’s great to have a second set of eyes and some help when it’s needed….
Evidently the owner will string guitars thru the week but I am not sure. It’s a little challenging to find out what problems they can solve.
The fixes were very reasonably priced but I would have spent at least 4 times the amount if I felt they wanted to make sure I had a great experience with my musical endeavors.
I’m a little upset with this man’s integrity. I was requesting a pair of 12 -56 gauge acoustic strings. And I said my girlfriend would be by shortly to pick them up. I called his business before they were open and left a voice message. There was no miscommunication he does not carry 12-56 he carries 12-54. So when she showed up to get them and she asked if they were the right ones and he told her yes. She trusting that the order was correct left with the strings.
He didn’t say “by the way, we only carry 12-54” do you think he would need them still? No!!! He just took the sale. And she said he wasn’t very friendly or polite.
I used to come get my strings there as much as I could to support locals but that is an Integrity violation to me.
That fruit loop would only let 2 people at a time in the store plus you have to wear a mask. And doesn’t let you play any of the guitars because “covid” will get on the strings. Don’t waste your time never go to this store.
How do you even sell anything with your hours?

Address: 108 S Woodland Blvd A, DeLand, FL 32720 , Volusia County , Florida , United States
Neat little shop crammed with music. Great stuff, great prices! Will be back
First time going to this store. Me, my wife and son literally bought about 10 albums. The prices are very reasonable with lots of selections from every genre. The man who owns and works in the store is very kind and welcoming. Has a great love for music and what he does. Great atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing selection, clerk was so helpful and kind. So glad I found this place. Can’t wait to come back
My kind of music store. Old, dusty, a little smelly but in a good way. So much of everything.
Nice people find music
Owner is a great guy, if you like real music he’s got it or can get it and quick,
Expensive and poor quality
The owner was rude, personally insulted my husband and made rude, mumbled remarks for no apparent reason. He was apparently upset that we visited another record store in town before going to his store. We were just walking the little strip this little town has for shopping so the order we went was just random. Then when my husband asked for one band, he showed him a completely different other band’s merchandise. My husband tried to make conversation, but the man seemed to want to compete about music collections? He also called my husband “cheap” because we bought cds for $1 elsewhere. We were just spending a nice day shopping as a family on vacation. Very strange way to treat visitors. Weird. Also, no AC in the store – hot as hell in there. There are two records stores on this street – this is definitely not the “good one”.
Owner was very rude and berated us for standing in one section for too long. Also ironically “thanked” us for our business when we didn’t purchase anything. Store was also very dirty and disorganized.
