<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nGreat Staff of knowledgeable professionals. Comfortable and welcoming environment. Boutique vibe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nIn my experience, music shop staff are usually condescending and unfriendly. You get the opposite at this shop. Knowledgeable and courteous would be the best way to describe them.<\/p>\n
The store itself is clean, great guitar selection. Basses, not so much.<\/p>\n
Anytime I\u2019m in the area I like to stop by and will eventually buy something. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nTalk about a needle in a haystack!!! I bought my first guitar sight unseen from The Upper Bout last week and all I can say is WOW! Very responsive to emails and Ricky went above and beyond. Not only did they answer all my questions but helped me in figuring out what would be path as I head down my journey into the guitar world. Highly recommend and I know they have gained a customer for life and look forward to picking up whatever is next in my collection from them.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nGood place to buy guitar stuff in a convenient location.
\nIt\u2019s kind of expensive, I paid $25 for two sets of strings when I go through them like crazy. This being the only place I buy strings nowadays I am now scared to break one!<\/p>\n
They have loads of guitars and amps to try out, as well as mandolins, banjos and other stringed instruments, makes it a great place to learn about instruments.<\/p>\n
I will purchase my next guitar here for sure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nVery nice store for guitar players. Not a lot of options for bass players. Store is very clean and the store has a very classy look and vibe. Very nice selection of effects pedals. I will go there again. I would like to have seen more high end 5 string basses. But, I think everyone should stop by.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nBe forewarned! If you are anything but an accomplished or professional guitar player they may not have the time of day for you! They WILL talk down to you, and make broad assumptions of you. Without asking me any further questions, because I said I traveled a lot, had a sentimental instrument that I didn\u2019t want to see damaged and didn\u2019t presently have a place to store it: the assumptions changed to me being homeless and I couldn\u2019t be pushed out of the store fast enough. Even when I asked about a simple $15 item. Oh and let\u2019s not forget the whole the salesman is talking down to me, he grabbing expensive guitars off the wall just playing them instead of listening to my questions. Nice job Upper Bout <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nI put a guitar here on consignment that had a synth pickup and they straight up lost the synth. When I came in to pick up my stuff they just shrugged their shoulders like \u201cso what?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\nBrought in a broken guitar hoping to fix it. They were quoting me 4 times the value of a new guitar to fix it and kept pushing me to just buy a new one. I ended up leaving and getting the guitar replaced elsewhere<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
