Good general selection, but didn't have acoustic guitar strings when I went in.

Great selection of guitars. Definitely a little something for everyone. Not huge but very well curated. Also the owner is super nice.

Smallest and worst music store I've ever been too. I went for cables once and all he had was demo cables. He needs to sell to someone interested in the business. More than half the store is closed off and empty. They have literally no strings. The guy can't set up a guitar. He doesn't have the right tools to work on guitars. He just seems lazy. Absolutely ridiculous experience there. Ill never get anything there again.

Excellent experience here. John helped me set up my bass and put new strings on. He was super knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, good prices and selection. Plus there is a really cool shop dog that hangs in the store.

The owner continuously hovered next to me, telling me how great his product was (which turned out to be hogwash), and hurrying me on, rather than allowing me to examine the merchandise on my own and come to my own conclusions. He bullied me into a sale and charged me a ridiculously high price for a poor quality, defective product that I wouldn't have bought, had I been given the time and space to examine it on my own. It was an expensive lesson learned. This guy is more interested in money than he is in helping you get a good product at a fair price and earning your repeat business. I won't go back here.

We've been here several times, sold one guitar and bought another. John knows his stuff and is a friendly and fun guy. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

Great to have a music store in downtown Monterey. As they have downsized, it seems that they don't have as much, but they actually carry a great array of products. More valued is added with their wide range of expertise and repair abilities. They can get you any product you need and consult with you on what your best options are on instruments, sheet music, repairs and more.
