  Such an amazing store! I broke my high e string on my guitar a month ago, I came in, and Ryan demonstrated how to change a string for me. They are very friendly, even though they are expensive. I like Backstage Guitars, and I would definitely go back. They have a great selection, too.

  Great experience! I called about 15 minutes to close on a Saturday needing a part for my bass. They had the part and sold it to me and installed it even after their supposed closing time. Excellent time they saved the day.

  I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar, but I'm a lefty and my parents were never able to buy me a guitar. Finally got a left-handed guitar 5 years ago. It's not the best, beginner acoustic, but not bad to start with. Tried to teach myself online, which is very hard when you have absolutely no musical background. Took a class at CCAC, which helped a little, but I knew that I needed more. On a whim I e-mailed Backstage Guitars, just to see if I could get some lessons. They are close to my house. Ryan e-mailed me back very quickly and we set up a weekly 30 min. lesson, later in the day which works great with my schedule! He's really good, not just at playing guitar, but he feels you out and figures out your strengths and weaknesses. Then he writes out chords, songs, tabs, etc. to go home with you. That is your homework. Challenging, yet doable. If you are struggling with anything between lessons, just shoot him a text and he'll send you a sound clip or tips or whatever you need. Ryan pushes you just enough to convince you that you can do it, but it's still fun. I love that he always compares my progress to how I played the week before. "That sounds way better than last week!" LOL. I need these little reassurances. They really help. And I never feel rushed. Yeah, may have taken me an extra week or two to learn that, but I'm getting it. And I always leave my lesson in a good mood, like I accomplished something! Even if I am only competing against myself! :D

  We were referenced to BSG by a friend after having our bass head blow while on tour from Texas. Jason Lee was able to take the amp in and repair it for us overnight so we were able to continue onto the next city with working gear. 11/10.

  Wonderful music shop. They are always knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Great selection given their limited floor space and all of the instruments are in tune and ready to try. Electric and Acoustic Guitars, bases, mandolins, ukuleles adorn the walls with amps, pedals and the like all in good supply. They also have some used gear towards the back. And, their prices are great! One of my favorite things about this place is they aren't piping in background music to drown out my playing. And, they even showed interest when I brought my acoustic guitar in to try out 30+ guitar picks to see if I actually favor the picks I've been using for 20 years. Turns out, I don't and switched to a new brand and weight after being able to carefully listen to what they did to my instrument. The guy running the shop that day had never seen anyone try out picks for sound and said he was going to recommend that to his other customers. I've been using them as my main guitar shop for about 5 years and they have served me very well.
