I just had my first introduction to American Music and Jay and I'm pleased with both. I found Jay to be friendly, personable, professional, and willing to teach me some tips in what I was trying to do. I enjoyed meeting him and also looking around the store. I'll come back for guidance and equipment as well as looking at singing lessons, and maybe even bass lessons. I highly recommend the store and I think you'll be very pleased.

My wife came home very upset after going to American Music Store with our daughter. They went to the store to buy a whammy bar. The salesperson, an older gentleman behind the counter with a white beard, told my wife that she didn't know what she was doing, that the guitar wasn't purchased there, and that she should know better and go back to Guitar Center. Totally unacceptable when she just needed some help since we are newbies.

This store has been my home away from home. With some amazing teachers and Bella sleeping behind the counter, this is truly a hidden gem in Encinitas. Music has been such an amazing gift that I have learned from both Khrys and Sean, who are both amazing and passionate instructors. Would recommend to anyone who wants to discovery the beauty of music.

If you are looking for excellent instruction in music and a great selection of equipment-this is the store for you! We have been going to this store for about 10 years for lessons for my three children and musical instruments and equipment.

My 18 year old son has had a guitar sitting in his room for years ...his dad handed it down to him. Nope...he hasn't learned to play. With all the youtube channels available I thought that would be the smart way to go...nope. I heard about American music store from friends who are in local bands.... I called them to inquire about lessons and to see if the guitar needs to be "tuned up". I have no idea what the correct terms are and i'm sure i sounded like a fool. The guy who answered was so patient and understanding! I will be stopping in once summer vacation starts to set up our lessons!!! My kid is pretty darn excited.

Needed a guitar and amp rental and the owner quickly put together a nice setup, affordable, and easy to work with. Thanks!

Small but a complete music store, new & used gear plus a whole line up great teachers. My niece became a wonderful pianist under Jerry's guidance and I am currently taking bass lessons from Khrys, who's both patient and encouraging as I plug along like beginners will. He has also helped me get my hand me down bass sounding better than ever. I also want to mention, after the New Year this store changed ownership ? management, they updated the layout and with Jays and Khrys upfront they will cover you, sales repair and lessons.

Sure, you can get a lot of guitar gear online, but this is still the place to go where someone who knows guitars can steer you in the right direction. Shop local!
