New and Used Guitars in Rosemount

Playability matters more than looks or brand at the start. A beginner quits when the strings sit too high and their fingers hurt, which is a setup problem rather than a price problem. Body size matters for younger players too. Tell us the age, the hand size, and the music, and we will narrow the wall down.

Yes, a share of the wall is used at any given time, and every used instrument is labeled as used rather than passed off as new. Each one goes across the repair bench before it is priced, so what you try in the store is what you take home. Stock turns over week to week.

Solid wood tops cost more than laminate and generally sound better as they age. Onboard electronics add cost on acoustics, hardware and pickups on electrics, and a bound neck or fancier inlay work adds more again. Used instruments price against condition and what the bench found. Contact the shop before deciding.

A new guitar is usually not set up to play its best straight out of the box. Truss rods are often slackened for shipping, and factory action is set high to avoid buzzing in transit rather than to feel good under the hand. Ask about a setup when you buy, and the bench is in this building if it drifts later.

Yes, basses, ukuleles, mandolins, and banjos are all on the wall alongside the guitars, plus amps, strings, picks, straps, cables, and stands. We teach most of those instruments too, so a student can start guitar lessons and pick up the instrument in the same visit.

Yes. Anything on the wall comes down to be played, with a stool and an amp ready to go. Take as long as you want. The shop is in Rosemount Market Square, and the same building runs piano lessons and a full repair bench.
