Wanted to play while on a holiday and had a specific need in a classical. They hooked me up with a cool vintage Tac. Did really appreciate it, impressive store so if you're on the big island this is the place.

Really friendly and competent staff at this music store. I rented an acoustic guitar (A Taylor!), and it is a very high quality. Very pleased to have them on the island.
