Great experience, the owner Eric, was beyond helpful. My first guitar lesson was awesome; Great teacher in my opinion. I would highly recommend this music store to anyone especially first timers. There was no pressure to buy just very helpful service and advice.
Great prices and a great selection.
My wife purchased a guitar here for me recently. She was very happy with the service she received. The owner was really good at explaining the various qualities of that guitar and didn’t try to sell it so much as inform and let her decide. I’ve been coming to the shop since it opened, so now she understands why I’m so enthusiastic about it.
It’s a really great shop. The owner has a ton of expert knowledge concerning music, especially stringed instruments.
It’s good to have a decent guitar store in town where there’s always an expert on hand.
G a good time for you to come over and I will be there for you and your family
My son was in need of a flute for junior high band. They had a great price on a used one and were very knowledgeable. Thank you!
Not much of a selection,,a lot of really low end pieced together mutt guitars and amps.
Tried very hard to engage counter man in conversation,,but he just preferred to sit quietly while I looked over tiny inventory…..guess I will keep looking for a music store.

Address: 425 Teegarden Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Yuba County , California , United States
Great, affordable, high quality instrument repair! Thanks Pete’s!
MANY specific needs met as well as the necessities of abstract desires…
Great guy, got my daughter a Violin from him and we get treated with respect. We also get free adjustments for life pretty much. He also has tutors for various instruments he can set you up with. I wont go anywhere else for my instrumental needs!
Pete’s has always been a cool, locally owned music store. Pete hires friendly staff who are trained well.
The store hasn’t had a lot to choose from recently, guitar wise. That may be due to the surrounding circumstances, as the guitar area has always had plenty of axes and amps to check out.
Great place to get musical equipment fixed highly recommend
Not bad
Pete was extremely rude. Poor customer service.
The owner’s response speaks for itself. I’m not a disgruntled ex employee let go by the business owner. I am a proud ex manager who quit, even after being begged to stay, because I have standards and ethics. 41 years in business where I managed the shop and the owner was no where to be found for almost half the time he had been in business. Every response to every review listed here on google was done by me up until I left in March 2022. I cared. The owner lies, trash talks, chastised me for years for having children, put down my co-workers based off his interpretation of their intelligence, as well as put many customers in uncomfortable positions by bringing up their dating life or mentioning the size of overweight women. I witnessed this all first hand.
My response to the owner. Do not insinuate I am a disgruntled ex employee. Leaving Petes Music is the best thing I could have ever done for myself and my family. It’s not my fault you’re bitter.
Original review prior to owners response: Change in management due to the poor working conditions and the staff being placed in uncomfortable situations due to the owner’s (Pete’s) behavior. The place is no longer what it was and has been the past 18+ years and I doubt it will ever be. I will frequent only to support my cello instructor and maintain my educational efforts with her.
If I could put a lower star I would. They dont even pick up the phone they hung up on me.

Address: 659 Plumas St, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Yuba County , California , United States
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. I took my Epiphone in for what I was thinking would be an incredibly expensive neck repair. Justin listened to me and looked at my guitar and quoted me an extremely reasonable price. Considering I had been told by other shops it would need repaired by a luthier and could cost upwards of 800-900 dollars, I was very relieved to hear he would do the work for much less. The work was complete in a timely manner and with the most care and professionalism I could ever hope for. I have played guitar for almost 20 years and I can say without a doubt, the service and knowledge this shop showcase is by far the best I’ve ever come across in my life. I’m coming back for some pickup work later on because of how impressed I am with them.
Excellent guitar shop. Fair prices on equipment. Super helpful and offered after purchase support.
This place is great! Recommended for any one into guitars to check out!
5. The Musical Touch
Address: 950 Lincoln Rd, Yuba City, CA 95991 , Yuba County , California , United States
Great music store with lots of stuff to choose from. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful, I definitely recommend this place.
The lady who operates the shop is really wonderful. Expect a conversation. You might not be able to rely on the listed hours of operation (11-6 weekdays). They sometimes open later, like 1pm.
I just started getting private lessons for tenor Saxophone and have made a lot of progress thank you so much!
The inside of the building is really fashioned with music, but the outside has only spot for 8 cars to park in the parking spot.
Tried coming to the place multiple times for multiple days and it seems like the place is closed more then it is open.
6. Rick Kirkpatrick
Address: 10732 Peoria Rd, Browns Valley, CA 95918 , Yuba County , California , United States
Rick is a very qualified and invested guitar teacher. I spent many years with him and he brought me not only to a place where I could play, but where I could continue to learn beyond his instruction. I highly recommend!
7. Skips Marysville Music Cafe
Address: 321 D St, Marysville, CA 95901 , Yuba County , California , United States
Great experience! The use of the adjoining room for a small wedding was absolutely perfect – especially due to the fact that it was all last minute!!! I highly recommend this wonderful place! The owner is a pleasure to work with and very helpful at bringing your vision to life!
Awesome place skip is great
Great place! An awesome addition to the community. Outstanding customer service and very knowledgeable. From instrument sales to lessons Skip has you covered!
It’s small, but skip is always willing to help. Go check out live music, have a soda, buy a bass. It’s a pretty cool shop.
Nice place to here different musical instruments and bands. Knowledgeable staff, variety of instruments.
They were technically closed but the door was open , ( had a young man on the drum kit ,3rd lesson and was coming along ) I introduced myself , Skip was very nice and accommodating .He informed me of open mic night , I’m looking forward to laying some southern blues slide guitar downtown!! Thanks for being so cool Skip. Your bro from Ga , Van

Great selection, always find something new every time im in. Also owner supports local artists
I Never even knew about this hidden jem. I’ve been missing out glad I went in he has an amazing selection of vinyl some really cool things in there that you won’t see anywhere else.
I went in last week for the first time ever. I ended up staying there for 2 or 3 hours talking with the owner about music some of my business adventures and checking out all the stuff he has well I can’t say all because I’m going back today because there’s so much stuff I didn’t get to look at the shop is loaded with unique One of a kind inventory.
She even had my favorite guitar strings for my acoustic in stock I highly recommend the place if you haven’t checked it out do so you’ll be amazed what you find in there and the quality of vinyl is like heaven on Earth. Top quality gen mint 10 vintage vinyl in pristine condition.
The owner is definitely on My level when it comes to a good conversation and train of thoughts and perspective…
Definitely looking forward to supporting this local business small mom and pop shops man y’all got to stand behind them don’t let the corporation the big box stores tear everything down and monopolize our country as they have been trying to already..
I also hear there’s something very unique off the wall and crazy about ready to hit this town that anybody that plays a stringed instrument will definitely have to have and the owner will have this said product available in his shop..

Looking for awesome old music on vinyl or CD’s , incense many different fragrances, sage, stickers for bands and sayings or cute themes . Record players. A little of this and that. You really should stop in and check it out , small but super cool . It’s been around for along time and the owner is really nice and helpful too.
A true record store. Boxes of 1 dollar records plus new records and great used section. I have found all kinds of great records from Beatles to Boogie Down Production. Plus Bert is super cool
Hey Bert!!!
A little crowded no room for a weel chair I don’t believe
Stopped in to look for some vinyl to add to my collection, it’s a nice little shop and the guy working there (owner?) was very nice and helped look for a few things for me. They don’t have a huge selection compared to some record shops, but they had a lot of good stuff and it was all pretty fairly priced. The records were all fairly well organized and alphabetized, but the shop itself was a bit disorganized and crowded feeling. The incense was very strong so if you’re sensitive to strong smells it might be bit much.

This is obviously not a typical guitar store Caleb. This is a specialty situation you wouldn’t understand….. and I am a stranger, not affiliated at all.
Very awesome guy, very friendly and very knowledgeable!!!
Has no hours and is just a random house.
