My husband and I stopped in for a four string bass. Great service and good talks with the owner. Atmosphere was great and they had a nice collection going— they have a good eye.

On 1/2/2026 Shane Rose had this to say:
Probably the best customer service experience I've ever had! My wife and I had the best experience with Brian. He gave us the best deal for a guitar for our teenager. He made it happen right before Christmas as well. We left there with a very beautiful guitar, knowing that anytime we need anything at all. We will have 100% support. They also offer guitar lessons for an affordable price as well. Go to local business to support them. Just a fantastic experience!

Appreciate the people working here. Had my bass fixed up and they didn’t go above quoted price despite needing to put in more effort than originally thought- believe the guy that helped me was named Logan. Work looks really good too. If you’re needing a repair, this is definitely the place in Columbus to go.
