Best experiences I’ve ever had in a music store! Who could’ve guessed Terre Haute would house such an amazing music store?

My first trip in was solely for a power supply for my pedals. Got a STEAL on one plus a board to house everything. Immediately decided I’d save up and buy my first “great” guitar there.

My second trip was after I’d saved enough to justify looking. ALL of the staff were extremely helpful in meeting my specific needs. Let me try various guitars, demoed amps based on my genre preferences and offered the BEST prices I’ve seen on any of the gear I walked out with.

I also want to bring attention to how knowledgeable the staff are! The Shoppe specializes in vintage equipment and know how to guide you to exactly what will scratch your audio itch. Their selection is also impressive, given the size of the establishment! Plenty of entry level guitars for beginning players, but also a good selection of mid-to-high tier guitars for seasoned players.

I love this place. So rarely do guitar stores meet that perfect middle ground of excellent service, prime selection and fantastic pricing. I’ve been to dozens upon dozens of different music stores since I picked up the guitar, but none have made me feel so seen and appreciated as The Music Shoppe.

Incredible selection and knowledge of the industry. One of the best original, single owner guitar retailers in the USA. I was blown away by the inventory and reasonable pricing. And it’s right here in Terre Haute, Indiana. Worth the drive.

I felt like I was a bother and rushed when asking a question, which was a perfectly legitimate one, considering I own 7 USA guitars and have had zero luck anywhere in this area or a 100 mile radius getting a proper setup. This will be my 4th try to get it playable. So far not one shop can even get close to a true qualified luthier setup, last 2 I took in were "Fair" at best, my Ace Frehley is now unplayable which made me furious!!. Will have to wait until vacation and drive to Texas to get it right. Kerry Cash in Hurst, TX is the best! Hate to drive 850 miles to get it corrected, but he's the only one capable. When you work 10-12hr days and weekends to afford the best you want it right. With a waiting list they probably don't have time for personal attention Which is a shame because your guitar is not just an instrument it's your pride and joy, you polish, protect, hold and care for. Sometimes as people move on it even becomes your best friend. There's a lesson to be learned from this post, it's not criticism, it's frustration and disappointment.

We were greeted by a grumpy man that didn't want to give us the time of day. Very short, made comments about how there were too many people in the store (referring to me and my family that were planning to buy some items). We would ask to see an item and he would say "you gonna buy that one?" Everything we tried was out of tune, but they didn't have a tuner unless you bought one.
Customer service was horrible and there's only room for 1 person to walk down the walkway because it's so cluttered. Fire violations galore in there. Will go to Indianapolis next time I guess. DO NOT RECOMMEND. UNFRIENDLY. OVERPRICED.

If it has strings it is either somewhere in the store or has been there.
I would wager there are 1000 guitars or more in there.
It is overwhelming.
This not including John's infamous private collection.
For the majority of us it is the sweet spot for investment.
Go see the crazy that is the music shop

The guys at Music Shoppe are great - clearly passionate about music and always have a fun story to share. I've always given them respect and they've always returned it in kind. Happy to have gotten some great guitars and amps from them that have served me well.
