Twin Town Guitars: what do users think?

Jacob Zimmerman: Purchased an isntrument from them online. The pics were exactly of the instrument I purchased and not stock photos. Shipping was reasonable price and timing with accurate updates. Product was packaged well and the shop did a phenomenal job getting it ready to ship and plays better than I could have hoped. I hope to visit the physical location next month and thank you folks in person.

Mike Merwin: on a favorite guitar but I was hesitant to bring it in because it's not exactly a pro-level guitar and I am not exactly a studio player. I asked for advice on what strings I should try from the very kind and helpful staff and went with their suggestion. When I picked up the guitar, I could not believe the amount of work that was clearly done. The fretboard looked better than the day I bought the guitar and I could immediately tell as I strummed it that I had left it in the hands of a professional. Money well spent at a fantastic guitar shop.

Nathan Gentry: I called Twin Town from beautiful, sunny Florida and spoke with AJ. I was all like “the internet said you guys have a left handed Epiphone ES 335 in a vintage burst. Is that true?” And AJ was all like “I believe we do have one of those but let me go look. Do you mind if I put you on a brief hold?” And I was like, “of course not”. So I waited on hold briefly while AJ ran to check and make sure Twin Town did in fact have a left handed Epiphone ES 335 in a vintage burst. I was concerned AJ would come back and tell me that no such guitar existed in his store. But when he came back to the phone he was all like “I do have one of those in stock”, so I bought it. AJ and the gang shipped my guitar out FAST too. I didn’t have to wait weeks to express myself through the majesty of song on my new left handed Epiphone ES 335 in vintage burst. Needless to say, I couldn’t be any happier with Twin Town or AJ’s service.

richard traxler: Great shop, great teachers, well managed, fun place, better than the strip mall stores.

Robert Wicklander: Best guitar store I’ve ever been to. Cole was awesome in helping me get back into playing after a couple year break! Super knowledgeable and super nice. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This is where I’ll be going for anything guitar related. Thanks guys!

Josephine Morris: I got my first bass from Twin Town Guitars. I went in looking for a bass guitar, and was instantly greeted with friendly and informative staff. They have a pretty good collection, and you can pretty much find what you're looking for than if you went to a bigger store like Guitar Center. I love supporting local businesses, and this is one to definitely support!

Chris Dewar: Bought a lefty Taylor classical guitar from out of state that I couldn't find anywhere else. Haven't visited the store but had great experience and highly recommend!

Rich Rue: Great music store! 👍🎶

Kelly Cook: Great music resources

Alex Nelson: Love this store! Super helpful and welcoming. Love that they have two little "try out" rooms, where you can play guitars and pedals without worrying about bugging the people around you and you can tell if you like it or not. They have always been happy to let me try whatever guitar or pedal I've asked about. I've never felt like a burden to the sales staff, and I also haven't ever felt pressured into a purchase. They really just want to help you find your next favorite gear. Also a great place for lessons. I enjoy going to lots of guitar stores and this is my favorite in the Twin Cities.

Paula Buendorf: Wow! We had a great experience here and learned so much as new guitar owners. Great customer service...knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. Thank you, Asa!

Matthew Pagel: Always friendly and helpful!

Mark McCubbin: The staff at Twin Town are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly and their product selection is great. Support your local shops like this. They can't be replaced by the internet!

Justin Bowling: Definitely one of the best music stores in the Twin Cities, and quite frankly one of the best I've ever been to in the country. Their selection is incredibly solid, from low priced cool stuff you've never seen before all the way up to very high end collectible vintage gear, and everything in between. Also, everyone that works here is super nice and friendly. I did a big trade with them the other day, and it was the easiest trade I have ever done. They are very transparent in how they work with trades. They look at the average sale price, and you get 70% of that. It's so close I was able to roughly gauge what my trade in would be, and then put together what I wanted to trade it in for before coming in and I was able to walk out with everything I wanted. Also, that 70/30 split on trade in's is by FAR the fairest and best trade value I have ever seen at a shop. It makes it worth it to just go here rather than sell online as the difference in what you get isn't really all that much compared to selling it yourself after you factor in the time it takes to sell an item online and the shipping costs.This place is definitely a 5 star shop. There's a reason it's been around and continues to be well known.

Groth Music Company: what do users think?

Sarah Wood: I made inquiries about rentals online and their response time, information provided, and politeness was wonderful! If you have any questions and can’t get in store, don’t be afraid to ask online!

Sonny Savage: They have an incredible selection of new and used instruments. The staff was attentive without being intrusive.

L.R. Brooks: Great selection of sheet music for piano. It looked like they had a lot of other instrument pieces as well. Fun section of stuff for kids that kept my minion busy while i browsed.

Joy Salls: Super great, friendly staff! Wonderful selection and wide variety.

Phillip Current: Knowledgeable!

Joni Monroe: Needed some sheet music for the 8th grade trombonist. The places recommended by the school were showing out of stock. Those that were in stock stated it could be a 4-6 week shipping time due to music having to come to their warehouse. I did a Google search and Groth Music popped up. Saw they offered a pretty quick shipping time. Ordered the piece, not only in stock, but at a slight discount! Ordered on 01/30, music was here by USPS 02/06. Music was packaged perfectly to protect it from any transport bends or creases. I will always check Groth first for any future purchases! - A Florida customer.

Kimberly DeVries: They are helpful and go out of their way to provide great service! Love Groth Music!

Andrew Escobedo: The service was amazing and fast. They have some of the best collections of bassoon music out there. Always reliable when it comes to bassoon music.

eddie ciletti: Super knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and friendly staff! Great selection!

Jenn Gillen: and it's always been a great music shop. A good spot for student and intermediate instruments

Manny Laureano: I am proud to have such a well-stocked music store with such friendly, helpful people in our community. The employees honor the Groth name with their work.

Natalya Chernova: I had to order three advanced pieces of flute music, and Groth Music not only had all three in stock, but also at a better price and cheaper shipping than competitors. The music was shipped right away, and with ground shipping I had it in 5 days here in Upstate New York. It was also packaged nicely in a firm envelope and came in perfect shape. Very impressed. Thanks a lot!

Christian Briel: New location. Very wide selection. No reason not to stop by for some new gear.

Marc Anthony: Purchased a Gibson Chet Atkins from Willie's. Great service and a great value. I live out of state, and they were helpful when I called in for a in-hand description of the guitar. John handled my order from start to finish, and he was not only polite and informative, he also dealt with all my questions in a professional manner. In addition to having the guitar polished up and restrung, it was packed exceptionally well and arrived promptly.I've saw one or two negative reviews on here before I purchased, but my experience is only positive. They take care of you here and I will definitely be buying again in the future.

Muse Jama: I am very happy with the response I got from Schmitt Music. My equipment is on the way

David Mazzola: I had no clue what I needed for my daughter's band class and bass but they treated me very good and were very patient. They had everything we needed and the price was the best value around. Plus they honor the US Military by providing a 10% discount. Check them out , they even give lessons.

Monica Rosales: Great instructors and helpful staff.

Tracey Joy: Super great service by Brody to pick out a new ukulele! Helpful & kind!

Lindsey Haner: Schmitt music is the absolute best anywhere hands down. We have been customers for both band and orchestra instruments for 8 years and they have always taken care of anything we have ever needed. They are organized, professional and every single person has been absolutely great to work with. Thanks!

Angelina Santiago: Замечательный! Я принес свою виолончель на настройку и установку детали. Сделали быстро и бесплатно. Я обязательно вернусь.

Amanda Snyder: Мой шестиклассник решил, что хочет попробовать себя на музыкальном инструменте. Учитель нашего школьного оркестра дал нам контактную информацию двух продавцов инструментов. Мы выбрали музыку Schmitt из-за простоты онлайн-покупки и доставки в школу моего сына в день их начала. До сих пор у нас не было никаких проблем с нашим инструментом, но если они возникнут, я уверен, что Шмитт сразу же придет на помощь.

Julie Swenson: Каждый этап процесса был легко объяснен. Мы были новичками в процессе покупки музыкальных инструментов и были полностью удовлетворены полученной нами помощью.

Hailey “:P” Bunnns: Было все необходимое для моей акустической гитары! Очень дружелюбное обслуживание и отличные люди, с которыми приятно работать.

Sher Bachand: он былб

Sherald Ward: Мы были очень довольны услугами, которые нам оказали при покупке цифрового пианино в этом месте. Эван превосходно помог нашей семье выбрать подходящий инструмент для дома. У нас остались очень положительные впечатления, и мы рекомендуем этот магазин нынешним и начинающим музыкантам в этом районе.

Jill Sullivan: флейтой и принадлежностями, необходимыми моей дочери, чтобы начать уроки на следующей неделе. Спасибо за хорошее первое впечатление!

M B K: Отличное обслуживание клиентов. Военная скидка тоже.

Levi D: В этом магазине работают отзывчивые сотрудники, и я смог очень быстро получить студенческий учебник по трубе, который мне нужен для моего сына. Он хорошо укомплектован и чист!

Vig Guitars: what do users think?

Elisha Marin: Vig Guitars — для меня самый любимый магазин в любой точке мира. Тед и Анджела — замечательные люди, и в этом магазине есть все, на что можно надеяться в местном гитарном магазине: смесь новых и невероятно крутых подержанных инструментов, усилителей и педалей, всех основных аксессуаров, а также отличная ремонтная команда. Это место, куда я иду, чтобы найти то, чего я никогда раньше не видел и о существовании которого даже не подозревал… и каким-то образом по самой разумной цене! Мне бы очень хотелось, чтобы таких магазинов было больше. Эти двое делают все правильно.

Andrew Peters: Всего лишь после одного посещения Vig Guitars я понимаю, о чем идет речь. Очень классный магазин с очень дружелюбным и очень компетентным персоналом. Не могу рекомендовать достаточно высоко.

Casandra Kaisler: Мы как покупали инструменты, так и ремонтировали/обслуживали их здесь. Все такие знающие, теплые и добрые. Все красиво выставлено и содержится в таком хорошем состоянии. Совершенно очевидно, что Анджела, Тед и их сотрудники очень заботятся о своем магазине.

Paul Wurtzler: Тед и Анджела — самые гостеприимные владельцы музыкальных магазинов на свете. Большой выбор подержанных гитар и где еще можно найти звукосниматели Vig. Потрясающее место!!!

Tim S: Повышаю свою оценку до 5. Как выступающему музыканту, мне помогает найти кого-то, кто правильно подберет решение, соответствующее потребностям.Пользовательская рана Pbass претенциозна --- спасибо-------Специально изготовленный звукосниматель на моей теле-гитаре — это произведение искусства. Я попросил двойную катушку, которая охватывала бы вибрацию как Леспаулеша, так и Телеша при выборе катушки. Такое в журнале не купишь.Отличный сервис - классная атмосфера. Не берите свой топор куда-либо еще.

Ben Manton: Супер аккуратные люди. Хороший выбор дыры в стене и фантастические ремонтные работы. 10/10 рекомендую.

Kevin Drew: Принес телек, купленный в Интернете, который нуждался в настройке. То же самое я делал на многих других своих гитарах, но на этой мне не удалось сделать все правильно. Поэтому я принес это Вигу. Когда я вчера вечером принес его домой, он пел, даже не будучи подключенным к сети... Я играл почти 4 часа. Потрясающие люди, потрясающий сервис. Абсолютно высший класс. ТАКЖЕ, хотел бы добавить, что недавно я купил Eastwood Baritone, который мне очень нравится, и приобрел 68 Univox для кастомного хамбакера. Что получилось красиво.

Archibald Chuzzlewit: Супер компетентный, дружелюбный персонал. Они помогли с оценкой старой гитары, и с ними было приятно работать. Конечно, вернусь.

Mike Heitzig: Friendly and expert service! Easily my favorite guitar shop.

Amy Warmenhoven: Friendly staff. They said they do a lot of repairs, but they also had some cool used guitars and amps. Bought a pedal.

Mike Dolbow: The folks at Vig are simply the best. I've purchased an acoustic bass there and had them do a setup and small upgrade on my P-Bass, and I was super pleased with everything. They're friendly and informative too! Can't recommend any higher.

Roald Sinopoli: Great little shop!Super friendly with some great stuff!

Jimi Primetime Smith: Love this place, Ted and Angie are the best. Ted and his staff are the only one I'll let touch my guitars.

Curiosity Streamer: great shop, very friendly staff and an amazing selection of guitar parts at excellent prices

Davy Kline Jr: If you don’t know this shop? You should take a visit and listen to those walls.Ted makes some of the best sounding pickups and they always have really cool gear.

Blackbird Music: what do users think?

TJ Shaffer: Friendly, informative and affordable.

michelle Solie: Blackbird music was recommended to me when my daughter started violin. Great service, super friendly and knowledgeable. You can feel a love for music in the place. Super flexible for kids starting on an instrument and working up. We bought a small violin, then exchanged it for the next size up only paying the difference in price. I would highly recommend Blackbird music!

Andrew Marotz: I won't go to any other music store in Minneapolis until I've been here to look for what I need. So welcoming and friendly.

Kurt Larson: Helpful and fun. The folks running this shop have established a homey vibe, and go the extra mile in walking alongside customers, equipping each individual to discover their own personal music-journey.

Scot Mahan-Miller: A great small music store that offers a number of different teachers for different instruments. Very helpful when it came to restring my daughter's guitar.

Koa Rosa: They fixed the action on my traveling guitar and did it in 24 hours. They even fixed someone's ukulele right on the spot. You need stringed instrument repair, this is the spot!

Kyle Nordstrom: The Staff is very knowledgeable, and the prices are fantastic. I was able to sign up for lessons, and have had great experiences! 5/5 would recommend!

Cecilia Pelaez: The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, they have a great stock of instruments at affordable prices and flexible payment options.

Chicken Lyngaas: My daughter has taken ukulele lessons from Blackbird for a few years. She got her instrument there, it has felt like home ever since we first walked through the doors. Her progress as a musician aside, Blackbird has been a warm and welcoming place for her to play and learn.With Covid, lessons have moved to video chat and we are still thrilled with the patience, passion, and creativity with which Charlotte and Blackbird approach music instruction.

Andrew Turbes: Fantastic community oriented music shop! Great place to learn and improve as a musician, not just for stings and repairs

DB: Stringed instrument sales and repair. Lessons for adults and children. Jams. And good people. Highly recommended.

Shannon Jamison: Has drumsticks

ryan olson: I just went in for a set of purple slinky's and some picks. Store is clean, they mostly cater to acoustic stringed instruments. Limited pick selection however. I would have given 5 stars but they don't stock fender 351 celluloid picks. The industry standard since the 50s. Other than that small issue, very prompt, and friendly, give them a shot we need more neighborhood shops like this.

Kim: !

ron harmon: Neil and Russ were awesome ta work with.Searched an found tha saddle for my old guitar.Made this ol Texas boy feel right at home. Thanks Y'all

Brian Hagerty: Friendly local music store with great weekly bluegrass jams.

El Diablo Amps & Guitars: what do users think?

Kate Foy: All the five star reviews are right, the staff and selection of gear here are great! They’re knowledgeable and will spend real time with you to find exactly what you need. I’ll be going again next time I’m in town!

A Sinclair: The reviews are absolutely right, this is the best guitar shop in the Twin Cities! The guys are all knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I don’t know a ton about electric guitars but had one repaired here to be sold later. They got it back in playing condition and sounding amazing within a few days at a very reasonable price. I asked if they’d be interested in purchasing the guitar and they were! I had very little info about the guitar, but they came up with what I felt like was a fair offer after they did some research. Even though I’m obviously a novice I felt like they treated me with respect and professionalism. I’d highly recommend El Diablo to anyone and I would absolutely do business with them again. Thanks guys!

Rummy: I thank Alan Estevez and El Diablo Amps for helping me get a piece of gear that I've been after. I was looking for the AmpRX Brownbox and Alan's price was right. More than that though, he and his team provided a very nice customer experience. They did so by politely answering all my questions, shipping promptly, and packing the item professionally. I called him up after receiving the item and had a very nice chat. I will shop with them again. Si quieres hablar con el Jefe, llama a El Diablo Amps.

Paul Richards: Great staff. I brought in a bass and a couple of amps to sell. They treated me fairly and with consideration. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Henry Blackburn: Great selection of guitars and amps to fit any style of player. Friendly and knowledgeable staff ready to help. The new location is a must see!

Karl Maher: Nice folks and a great selection of vintage and unique gear. The amps are certainly a highlight but their selection of pedals and guitars from local builders are also impressive. Great vibes in the new space too, will definitely be back.

Paul Star: El Diablo Guitars is hands down the best service and repair shop you will find in the cities. The inventory is always flipping because the types of gear they have is ones that you definitely will use or want. Alan and the team is so welcoming and helpful when it comes to getting the gear you need. if they don't have it, they will get it! highly recommend them!!!!

guntrafficradio: El Diablo Amps & Guitars in Minneapolis is a real shred sanctuary. Alan and his crew are wizards—fast fixes, killer rates. The joint's buzzing with a friendly vibe, and the staff, man, they're as knowledgeable as they come.Alan's work? Pure magic. Fast turnaround without skimping on quality—ideal for getting back to the riff game pronto. And the rates won't murder your wallet.The shop's got serious character, just like the gear they stock. Vintage classics to cutting-edge weapons, it's a treasure trove for tone junkies. Plus, the vibe is pure rock 'n' roll camaraderie. El Diablo Amps & Guitars: where strings get resurrected, and the riffs never die. Highly recommend for MPLS music heads! 🤘🎸

Amy Warmenhoven: For unique & vintage gear, $$$$

Kris Martin: Very cool shop with local guitars/amps/pedals as well as other brands. They have a good amount of spots to sit and check out gear and the staff I spoke to were polite and knowledgeable. The only downside is that like most other shops in the area there are only a few parking spots outside on the street. Highly recommend if you don't mind a little walking.

David Fine: Had a wiring issue with a guitar i ordered from these guys on Reverb. Wasn't their fault to begin with but they were super professional and helpful, went above & beyond to make it right. Great business, A+++!

Wil Chow: Great gear. Friendly, helpful staff.

Jon Hoffmann: Came in for a setup and the turnaround was great and my guitar looks and sounds great! Thanks for the education about my bridge style over the phone as well.What a cool spot.

Michael Valdez: Best shop and service in the twin cities - maybe in the state. Alan and Cody are great - went in with a dead pickup and some intonation issues on my vintage Sheraton - they took care of it with ease. Highly, highly recommend.

Bryan Chris: I ordered a vintage bass from El Diablo and had it shipped to my home in Indiana. Alan and his people were all over it. They got it shipped the same day. It arrived exactly how it was described online...dream bass. I couldn't be happier. Many thanks to El Diablo Amps & Guitars for their excellent service!

Jeramy Cain: people in the cities!

Kris Schauer: The guys at El Diablo are all great. Very helpful, and always happy to see you. It's a full service shop, with guitar repair, and amp repair through Tonetron Amps.They have a nice selection of amps, guitars and pedals!

OrbyJays 96: Best guitar shop in the world. I’d live here, if I could. Awesome gear, nicest employees, and super relaxing environment.

jimmy lyback: This place is fantastic: the relaxed vibe and incredibly helpful and courteous staff are second to none.

Vintage Strings & Musical Instrument Co: what do users think?

Steve Koehnen: Very helpful and knowledgeable, best music store in Mpls

J Randolph: instrument I recommend going in if not just to see the scope of what they have!

Mitch: He had my guitar fixed in 10 minutes. Very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. Would definitely go again!

ABrian Carpenter: Friendly service and experienced help with all things STRING.

Matt Herzog: Dale is a skilled guitar technician servicing instruments with precise craftsmanship. He has worked on three guitars and one 4 string bass, and they all played effortlessly after his tune-ups!

Sammy Hagar (Slipit): That guitar score surprises me every time I go in there it’s full of good stuff. I can’t believe some of the things that are in there Vienna. It’s on the little neighborhood guitar shore, but it is fabulous and Dale is awesome as far as repairs and listening and it’s just a nice guy.. I love the place

Frank Vardeman: This is a great shop with a super great owner. Dale does great work, is a gifted luthier AND his prices are more than fair. Wish I could give 10 stars!

Daniel Stevens: Always a great experience! These people know their stuff when it comes to stringed instruments.

Sarah A: Dale worked on two guitars of mine and just great in all respects. My steel string he said when he finished it "would be a joy to play." He did not lie. It sounds and feels amazing. It has never sounded this good and so nice to play. Also fixed up a vintage guitar. Also magical. Very reasonable prices. Fast service. Highly recommend.

Jon Peterson: Love this place. So cool.

Bill Duel: Excellent and fast service on my guitar repair. Highly recommend.

dave hoover: Super chill dude and will set your guitar up and complete any electrical problem

Andrew Frolund (Justice For All): I love this guitar shop! I love knowing the person who's working on my guitar. Turned my guitar in to a Guitar Center once. The whole experience left something to be desired. Never even talked to the guy once. The guy at vintage strings is very knowledgeable about all things guitars and amps. I couldn't have asked for my prized Kramer Assault Plus to be in better hands. Can't wait to have my other guitars worked on here!

joey Covington: Great shop. Great customer service.

Daniel Lauer-Schumacher: Great knowledge and cool small shop with good selection

Josh Roysland: This place is a hidden gem no question! Found the guitar of my dreams here and am so glad I made the stop! Would highly recommend this place and maybe you’ll find the guitar of a lifetime here as well. Can’t say enough about my experience here at this specific location. If your looking for a diamond in the rough, maybe this will be your lucky stop too!

Tim Lees: I love this place. Small neighborhood guitar shops seem to be a thing of the past, and I remember them fondly from the 70's and 80's. I thought they were all extinct. This shop is a trip back to that era. Nothing glitzy, nothing fancy - but so real and authentic. Dale is a super nice guy, with a ton of knowledge, and he is an actual luthier. Took my Les Paul Standard in for a new nut and setup, and it was done perfectly. Had him put new pickups in my Telecaster, and a setup. Again, perfect. And the prices? Unbeatable. Dale is my guitar guy from here on out.

Edward Hoover: Out of the way, but worth the trip. You will find some high quality musical instruments there.

St Paul Guitar Repair: what do users think?

Wayne Grimmer: Miracle workers.

Adam Klugherz: This is the place you want to bring your instrument. Great shop!

Denis Hogen: Just outstanding guitar repairs. The head stock on my Gibson was cracked during shipment in 2023 Ron not only repaired it but made it disappear like it never happened! Just impeccable craftsmanship! Definitely my go to instrument repair shop!Thanks so much Ron!

Bob Peterson: Brand new customer and got treated like GOLD. Thank you Michele!!! Great friendly atmosphere.

Jon Morgan: Great service, workmanship, and nice people. Just had them shave down my classical saddle for a little lower action. Came out amazing. Will definitely trust my fine instruments with them in the future. A+ guitar shop you can trust.

Josh Hall: Great prices, knowledgeable staff, quality repairs

Sam: Kevin did such an awesome job. Love my new strat! Awesome people at SPGR!!

Adam Wilson: Very helpful, prompt, and reasonably priced service. My daughter's guitar is not high end but they treated it well and made all the needed adjustments.

Gregg Lind: , good price, and high quality of repair. I feel confident recommending this shop for acoustic instrument repairs.Ron Tracy did an amazing job improving the playability of my flamenco guitar by replacing my previous saddle and compensating the new one.If you have an instrument that you think can play better, consider spending a little money to make it much better!

Fred Alonzi: Just adding to the many kudos here. I had an '86 Alvarez Yairi 12 string with a bridge lift and a crack on the top. Not only did SPG fix these problems, but also made a custom saddle and it now plays better than ever..check the action on this guy...and with absolutely no buzzing! Not to mention fast turnaround time, and held to his original quote even though he had to do extra work on the saddle.

Michael Mouw: , as well as more complicated work on used guitars and the crafting of tricky vintage replacement parts. Thank you Michelle and Ron for keeping us all jamming!

G Timmreck: What a fine shop. I took in a banjo-uke. Ron examined it, told me what was good about it, what was not so good, what could be done and how much it would cost. A few days later I picked up a much improved instrument. I’m very happy to have found this friendly, high quality repair shop.

Alexander Wilder: Great place friendly people,

Steve Borgstrom: Ron Tracy and Michelle Beardsley are two of the best luthiers in town!

Matthew Wehling: Always excellent. Always.

Kevin Anderson: Excellent repair services. I've hand built several acoustic guitars myself, but I go to Michele when I want the job to be done better than I can do myself. Kudos.

Kevin Mummey: One of a kind shop--they really care about the instruments, and their communication, service, and prices are excellent. A refreshingly old school place, and I mean that in the most complimentary sense.

judson pollock: Great service - they did a wonderful job refretting and setting up my 37 year old archtop jazz guitar. It plays better than ever!

Music Go Round: what do users think?

Mark Nelson: Awesome staff! Always a pleasure to visit the music go round in Woodbury Mn! Defiantly my main music store

Thaddeus Austin: Absolutely wonderful guitar store, I've been going to the Saint Paul location for years. They give a good price on used gear and have outstanding deals on the guitars they sell. Their inventory on the website is worth watching because they sometimes get really unusual and rare gear and sell it at a really great price. The owners are great people, super honest and friendly, and nobody there has attitude like some of the "boutique" guitar stores in town. This is what a guitar store should be... and they don't just sell guitars! If you're a parent needing gear for your kid, also a great place to go.

gene taylor: Great store, very helpful, nice ownership.

Bradford Masoni: gearheads and talk about music, this is the place for you.

Michelle Warns: Wonderful experience!!

Paul Schaleger: Traded in a mixer I was not using any longer. Friendly, quick service. Easy to get to on W 7th.

Greg Robinson (Bosco): I'm just learning guitar as an old man. I needed a decent practice amp for little money in case I suck.They had exactly what I needed, let me listen to amps, answered all my questions, and I walked out with everything I needed for $150. Can't hardly beat that!

Tom “tomakazihermanoid” Herman: This is a breath of fresh air. This particular Music-go-round is run by a father and son team. They are well versed on all of your needs and an inhouse repair shop. Check out the "Silvertone" electric guitars they have. Didn't Sears Roebuck carry that brand like a million years ago.

David Michael: I have been happily doing business with this FAMILY RUN LOCATION for nearly 20 years. Their "buy" prices are always fair - even a bit generous on special items. Their "sell" prices are always on point, even on new items like accessories.This particular location also offers a FULL REPAIR SHOP ---Band Instruments, Electronics, Set-Ups and Full Luthier Services--- They really do it all. I have personally had several difficult and labor intensive repairs completed by them IN HOUSE at very REASONABLE RATES.Truly a HIDDEN GEM in the area, this shop is FULL SERVICE, COMPETENTLY RUN, and the employees are always FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGABLE.THIS LOCATION IS WORTH SEEKING OUT!!!

Dave Ericson: Good service and knowledgeable staff.

Neal Lewandowski: . also there: jaw harp, bagpipes, guitars

Toby C: I had a wonderful first experience at Capitol Guitars today. Their selection was wonderful, and the service was fantastic. I came in looking to try a rare Gretsch that I had been researching for months online, and they helped me plug the guitar into a nice amp on the sales floor. I played for a while and noticed the guitar's intonation seemed off. I let their guitar tech know about the issue, and he promptly set up the guitar - I mean he actually SET UP the guitar! After the quick set up, not only was the intonation issue fixed, but the guitar played better than any guitar I had EVER played! Simply amazing - and what fun to play! I bought the guitar and couldn't be happier! Thanks, Capitol Guitars!

Joshua Hicks: Definitely would recommend dealing with these guys. They answered all my questions and hooked it up big time!

Roxane Masson: Great shop, stellar customer service!

Andy Kaasa: reached into his little box, handed me 1 screw. I made sure it fit. They asked for $1, I gave them a $5. I look forward to seeing them again. Good guys in there.

Taylor Limbeck: Had exactly what I needed. Great service and great guitar and amp selection

Homestead Pickin' Parlor: what do users think?

Zachary Dembovsky: Great people, very cool place

Rama Kisora Dasa: Awesome place to buy anything music related!

Steven Olson: Great little shop packed with tons of music. I found the perfect starter book to learn the banjo.

iggydeohgee: Wonderful shop, stopped in looking for advice on my acoustic setup they were straightforward, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Got some smaller thumbpicks that are exactly what I was needing.

Tucker “t17389z” Storrs: Great vibes!

Bradley Turflinger: So friendly and helpful, I love this place for all of my mandolin needs.

David Birkman: Personal assistance is a plus. Instructions available for bluegrass instruments which are for sale also.

KP: There are a lot of cool and unique instruments here.The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive.

Randy Burk: A great place to spend time. Check out the instruments. And definitely get to know the staff !

Eapen Chacko: We walked in with a twenty year old Fender mandolin, which had been abandoned in our church choir room; we wanted to repair what we had to in order to donate it to a musician or student who needed an instrument. The owner quickly connected it to an amp and ascertained its wiring was fine. He looked at the strings and said that we should reset the action. This adjustment would be at the bridge and was not an issue of the neck, so this too was good. We left in good hands and look forward to picking it up soon, and the cost was very reasonable. The store is a rare treasure trove of CDs all for $3 apiece. I walked out with two rare CDs featuring Clarence White and the Kentucky Colonels! Banjos and acoustic guitars are on the wall. If you're looking for an instrument or for an adjustment/repair, this is the place. Nice ambiance and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Cora Egherman: Cozy spot with nice folks and lots of folk instruments!

Noah Johnson: Awesome local music store with a great instrument and accessories offering! Helpful and knowledgeable!

Jesse Anderson: Kind of just old. But a good place to find harmonicas and such.

I asked if they had any teacher recommendations and now I’m having weekly guitar lessons with an amazing instructor too. Cannot recommend highly enough!
