It's great to have a brick and mortar music store close to my neighborhood. They have pro discounts and knowledgeable staff. Saved my hide more than once. I support them when I can and you should too. Friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Dreadnaught, for they are helpful. Pun intended.

Recently purchased an amp from them. Absolutely loved the amp but after tinkering with it a few days found it was missing some functionality I really needed. James took it back with no questions asked and provided me a full refund. Wouldn't have had to have done that, but emblematic of what great local service should feel like.

Musician's Pro Shop is an excellent resource for musicians in Iowa City. Always reasonably priced, knowledgeable, and reliably available. I've purchased and traded a lot of gear through the shop and will continue to do so!Don't buy online if you can buy local. If you find that you need strings, drumsticks, cables, or whatever else on the day of a show, online retailers are just too far away.

Nice privately-owned shop. Lots of guitars and amps, packed from the roota to the toota. The guys there were friendly and kniwlegable of the area music scene, and of the gear they carry. There was a few drum kits as well. They also had microphones, vocal, and instrumental mics. All in all, nice shop

Awesome shop, highly recommend! This is how a "local mom and pop shop" should be run. Every time I've gone in (or called) they've been awesome to work with.The staff are friendly and super knowledgeable, and won't complain about your bad noodling or playing guitars clearly out of your price range. They've got a great selection that doesn't mirror every Guitar Center in the world. If you're looking for 40 different colors of Fender strat or every shape of Martin you're out of luck, this isn't that kind of shop. If you're looking for something a little different, and just want a really nice guitar they'll definitely have something for you. Go in with an open mind and you won't be disappointed.Oh, and just about every guitar I grabbed off the wall was in tune (or close enough to my ears), and had an excellent setup. Even the cheap Chinese $200 LP clone felt and sounded like something triple the price.

On point good customer relations at musicians pro.A special shout out to the guitar luthier, Mike Helmer, for his stellar guitar craftsmanship. His attention to detail is superb. Mike is a very humble guy with one thing in mind and that’s to ensure your guitar sounds and looks exactly the way you want. Very easy to work with and the prices are fair.Looking forward to bringing more of my business to this great local shop.

Amazing customer service. I dropped $40 on a set of bass strings that turned out to be duds. They let me exchange them for strings of a similar credit with little to no hassle. The only place I’ll be going in Iowa City for my musician needs from now on.

This is a real and local musicians shop (for guitars, drums, accessories, etc.). Their prices are very reasonable, and they are actual musicians who are very knowledgable about what they sell (and buy/trade).

Pretty good so far. I consigned a few things to them, so we will see what happens.As a shop, the prices seemed pretty reasonable. Not quite the inventory of one of your big boxes, but lots of variety. I'd check here for equipment before going to one of the big guys.

These guys are awesome and have an amazing selection in a small footprint. I wish I lived in Iowa City I'd spend more time there! They should hand out bibs to guitar nuts like me...since we'll be drooling!
