The staff is so friendly, the location is clean and just has an overall inviting feeling when you walk in the door. I have used 2 other stores in the past and I will never go back. Houghton Horns will always have my business. I took the baritone to another location first and was told it would be 2 weeks BEFORE it could be looked at. The quote was $300. And the employee there (Bell's) was very short with me and rude. I then went to Houghton and was told I would likely have it in a day or 2 and the cost was over half the price! And the employees are just so genuinely nice. I regret the many other visits to Bell's and Music & Arts. I promise, you will love this great company!

I visited Frisco Music Center because I was on the hunt for an electric guitar I couldn't readily…read morefind in other shops. Another music shop tipped me off that this place had several in stock, and upon calling I was delighted to discover that they did. Although they were initially asking over $100 more than some bigger guitar shops online, the manager agreed to match that price and I was able to take home a Yamaha Revstar! The shop itself is pretty cool. When you drive up on Main Street it appears there's a lot of construction and NOT a lot of parking, but this isn't the case - they have a spacious lot in the back. Enter through the black door and you'll find yourself emerging into the shop near a wall of ukuleles. The store basically appeared to have three areas. The first room had the strings, acoustic guitars, (maybe drums and keyboards, I'm not sure), etc. The second area seemed to have equipment for recording and maybe some effects. The third room was well worth traversing the labyrinthine layout for, because that's where they kept the electric guitars and pedals and guitar straps. Despite being a small business they have a great selection. The manager seemed super knowledgeable and helped me pick some extra strings to go with my new guitar at my request. One of the things that really stood out to me too is that they offer a 50% discount on set-up service when you buy a new guitar from them. Although the person who does it was out for the week, I fully intend to bring my guitar back in to get it set up for only 30-something dollars! (Although, it seemed to play great off the wall.) Overall this is a great local music shop and should be on every guitarist's radar.
