Recently re-opened with a new repair guy, Paul, who came from Elderly Instruments repair team. The intonation was messed up so my bar chords always sounded out of tune. Paul fixed it quickly and accurately for less cost than I anticipated. Highly recommend!

Great place to shop for guitars, amplifiers, accessories, etc, as well as music lessons and instruction. They also have an on-site recording studio as well as some of the best folks within the music community. Fantastic place!

I can't think of a friendlier place to learn how to play an instrument, get one repaired, or buy one. They will check prices all over and find you the best deal possible.

I've been going to the Six String Place for years and I can't imagine taking lessons any where else. All the instructors are both great musicians and great teachers for a wide range of genres.
