Jimmy’s is my all-time favorite place to shop for gear. I have a half-dozen key pieces of really great, true vintage equipment, that I treasure and are critical pieces of my gigging rig. When I call Jimmy about a piece of gear that catches my eye, he gives me straight, honest info about the quality, value, and playability of it. And his price is always fair and generally far better than similar gear on the broader internet market. Fair, honest, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Im never buying from this store ever again. I bought a Tele and when I took the tele to my guitar tech for a setup he found out some frets were not even with the rest. I told Jimmy that I wanted to change the tele for another one in his store that was the same price. He tells me that he takes the guitar back but I needed to give him $100. I tell him that Im not selling the guitar back to him for a trade.. Im returning the guitar and I was gonna get another guitar that was at the same price. He then started to ask me about my guitar tech.. assuming my guitar tech was the one that damaged the guitar. I ended up paying to get the guitar fixed. Very unprofessional and it speaks volumes when an owner of a store is willing to loose a client over $100. Never coming back.

Jimmy's is by far the best used music store I have ever been in- always lots of guitars, amps, and cool vintage stuff. I've acquired several amps & guitars here. Super knowledgeable & a very nice guy too!

Coolest shop for guitars and amps in the state of Florida. Maybe in the US. If you’ve been to Carters and all the other retailers you see your favorite musicians shopping at, Jimmys is what they all aspire to be. His stock is always changing with some of the best fenders, Gibson’s and others brands you’ll ever see. Real players guitars. Real wear. Real people making deals to put gear in your hands that you need a musician. Just walking in you can tell how special this place is. Small, but filled to the brim with guitars and amps and everything in between that will inspire you play and be immersed in all things music. Jimmy is fair with his prices, and he has insane gear knowledge to help guide you in your purchase. You can be at ease knowing that what you are buying is exactly what you are getting. No smoke and mirrors. The real deal. Those three words describe this place perfectly. It’s a must see if you’re in the state of Florida. And if you’re not, it’s more than worth the drive. Thanks for serving the community, Jimmy! And for opening your doors for professionals and amateurs alike.

Exactly what I have been looking for. I live in Lakeland. The only store I know of in Lakeland is Guitar Center. I don't want to drive all the way to Tampa to find a locally owned music store. I even thought about opening my own store here in Lakeland, but am too lazy to put in the work and I am risk averse. So I am grateful a friend told me about this store. It's just past Walmart going East in Auburndale. Looking forward to checking it out soon.

If you love all things guitars, this is the place for you. What an amazing collection of guitars, and all are available for sale (as far as I can tell) Definitely worth a visit.

This shop is a gem. It oozes with good vibes and you can sit and play with no pressure to buy. Jimmy obviously loves guitars and it's so good to know there are still little shops like this alive and well. Down from Woodstock, New York, I walked out with just the sort of guitar I was in the market for, and he sweetened the deal that was already fairly priced.

Called in about a violin and the guy who answered the phone gave some wrong information. He was certain he was giving me the correct information but he was wrong. Do not recommend for any questions regarding an old violin.

My brother and I try to make a quarterly pilgrimage from Brooksville to Auburndale to visit Jimmy’s shop.Jimmy is always generous with his gear, time, and knowledge. We make it a point to leave his shop with something every time we go — the fun (irresponsible?) part is, we usually don’t know what that “something” will be when we walk in the door.Today, “something” was a couple of Silvertone amps and vintage Boss/Ibanez pedals. Prices are always more than fair, and whatever they are, it’s worth it to have this shop around — We’re looking forward to many more years of “something”!

This is a great place to buy your instruments and other music related items. My husband hasn't felt up to playing lately, but he loved going in here when he did. They have reasonable prices on their items, some really cool specialty instruments, and they offer layaway to make prices even more affordable. If you're into playing music, definitely check this place out.
