Great selection of acoustic and electric fender and squire guitars, basses, ukuleles, Washburn and Oscar Schmidt banjos, guitar amps, vintage tube amps, and bass amps... a smaller selection for harmonicas, violins. Everything you need. Good selection of left handed guitars. Knowledgeable, Friendly staff. One stop shop. Cheap retro t-shirts advertising their store. Get you one! Support local. Referencing a former post that gave only one star, The one guitar I saw marked 'do not play' was an expensive acoustic Martin. Hello? If you're serious about purchasing a Martin, talk to them. I'm sure they will work something out. I purchased my bass and amp from them. read more

Love this store. Always have what I need, knowledgeable, friendly staff, large selection. Been in business forever. If you're a musician you already know them. If you're just getting started go here first. read more

This is not a big chain store, but a locally owned music store with a friendly knowledgeable staff. They have a good selection and good prices and have been in business over 35 years. read more

Extremely helpful and talented staff. Good selection of guitars/basses/amps. They also sell some percussion instruments, and microphone/PA stuff. J'ville Guitar staff also offer music lessons on various instruments. The owner has a sweet collection of vintage guitars and historical music type displays. I have purchased five different instruments/guitars here and numerous accessories. I recommend checking out this quality home town, privately owned and operated guitar shop before running to another big box store. read more

The folks at Jacksonville Guitar are rightous people. They are knowledgable, helpfull and care very much about the muscian, no matter what their level of expertice might be. They set me up first in a drum set which I continued to build on. Due to a hearing deficit I eventualy had to give the drums up. It started in the USN on the flightline. They bought back all my gear, which was top notch, not for cash, but a Martin GT CM, a perfect fit. We have had an excelent relationship for at least four years. They have done me right all along. I would not hesitate at all to refer someone to them. I even have one of their bumper stickers on my tractor. A small shop they might have but they do mighty big things out of there. For a self taught muscian, they have taught me much, and they never have been to busy to take the time and answer questions. Great store, great vibes, great music!!! read more

Something has to really stand out to be worth my time writing this review and Jacksonville Guitar made the list for outstanding dedication, competence, and excellent customer service. Thanks Warren read more

I'm a musician that's consistently booked. House band, play every single weekend. I stopped in Jacksonville Guitar today ready to purchase a Fender Rumble 150 for my bass player. Cash in hand and ready to deal, but I want to deal. Any 15 year old schmuck that walk in the door can get the plackard 'sale' price. I'm old school and expect a proprietor to earn my business, then I'm a loyal customer. I requested what essentially equated to $20 off their sale price. Not a big negotiation, but testing the waters to find out how much they would work with me as a new customer. My request was denied with prejudice. I laughed as I walked out the door. Jacksonville Guitar will never know how much money walked out the door over $20. Case in point. Saturday, I purchased a new 414ce Taylor acoustic guitar from Jack's Music in Conway Arkansas. Call him and verify. My point is this. Sweetwater has the amp for $30 cheaper, free shipping, no tax. I'd rather work with a local store (keep the money local), but you still have to earn my business. You'll make your money on me down the road. My guess is that I'll call Jack and he'll make me the deal I want. read more

every item is marked "do not play." made no effort to show me a guitar with two staff and i was only patron.
