“The wall is looking a little thin these days”
“You guys doing okay?”
“Check out my new Jackson. I got it at…”
Folks… Let’s talk.
For 71 years, we have been Central Iowa’s independent, family owned, premier musical instrument shop.
We take pride in being your family owned alternative to corporate big-box and internet stores.
Unlike the big corporate stores with deep, deep pockets, we have to make hard choices as to what we stock in-store, and how we spend our cash flow.
Sometimes that means empty instrument hooks. Sometimes that means waiting a few days for an item to arrive.
We have to buy the gear that we sell, before we can hang it up on the wall.
During some parts of the year, like summertime, when its really slow sales wise, it’s hard to stock everything
When you shop with us, you are literally providing the cash flow, that is the life-blood of any small business.
Every pack of strings, every cable, every new amp… they all give us the opportunity to serve you further.
Your continued support, allows us to be there for your gear questions, for your guitar set-ups, for your hunt for used gear, and for the local music community, in general.
We follow manufacturers MAP, or “Minimum Advertised Price”. That means that the same price you see at Guitar Center, Sweetwater, or other online dealers, is the same price you’ll find here. We are all bound by the same price floor.
The difference is: we can make sure your guitar is 100% good to go, set up the way you like it, and even with your favorite brand of strings! And, we do it as part of the sale. No extra fees.
We pledge to order anything you want, from any brand we are authorized dealers of… and we WILL Meet or BEAT anybody else’s price.
Want a USA Fender or Charvel? Got it
Want a hand wired UK Marshall? Got that too.
