Modern Music

I came here today to buy an acoustic guitar. I tried asking questions about the ones they had for sale, but the guy behind the counter was so disinterested that he barley even answered my questions. I felt like I was putting him out by just being there. Being it was the first time I would be purchasing a guitar, I was looking for some guidance. After my third question I realized I wasn’t getting anywhere so out of frustration, I left. I ended up going to guitar center and bought my guitar from them.
I am a firm believer in supporting small/​local businesses but I also believe that good customer service is just as important as value and selection.

Great shop… all the guys are great here. I have been going here for a while and they always help with whatever you need. They give a lot of great advice. I have bought some nice things here. The customer appreciation sale they have twice a year is awesome. I found some great deals at that as well. I get a lot of service done here and Jason is particularly great! Very good with setups on guitars etc… I have done consignments there and they are very helpful with that as well. Great local «small» shop.

It can be hard finding a place to get a good guitar setup. This is where you can get a really good setup at a reasonable rate. The staff is very knowledgeable, and the rentals are good quality and fair pricing. This is my favorite music shop in the area. Check it out! You won’t be disappointed. Best place for guitar setups and rental gear as well as used gear.

Been shopping there since I was young. The owner is cool and the teachers they have there are very knowledgable, to say the least. I have mutilated many a guitar and they alway set them up better then any other tech I have gone to. If you or your kid need a place to get started in learning a instriment this is the best place to go by far.

This is hands down, my favorite ‘small’ music shop. Ive owned a PA, 2 fender amps, and… 5? guitars from here. (I can think of 4, im sure there were more). The service is always friendly, and when I think of a local business that I love, this is one of my favs!

These guys are great! I go here to get my guitars serviced, and I have yet to be disappointed. They’re basically in the same situation as me, young guys who tinker with guitars and play music. We get along just fine.
So – for $ 40 you can get a guitar or bass fully set up. That’s about standard, but these guys will fix all kinds of stuff for that $ 40. One time, they glued some frets down on a bass, and then leveled those frets and didn’t charge extra. That is pretty much unheard of! They also won’t look at you funny if you bring your guitar back to them because you aren’t 100% satisfied. Guitar setup can be pretty subjective, so you need a guy that will work with you and listen to you. Ask for Matt or Jason, they’ve always done a great job!
ALSO — sign up for their mailing list. They have a huge sale 4 times a year, where you get 40% — 60%. That’s when I stock up anyway!
Modern Music is a great place to go for anyone who is sick of the nonsense you have to deal with at Guitar Center.
