Very cool boutique gear store. They have a lot of very unique guitars and amps and are very knowledgeable. Definitely going there first next time I need a new toy. read more

I love this place. Whenever I leave this place, I have a big smile on my face and feel spiritually refreshed. Some other places, when I leave, I feel guilty like I did something wrong. They treat their customers with the utmost respect. The long black-haired death metal guy who works here (Brendan) is an incredibly kind and friendly salesperson. Every time I come here, they make me feel welcome. Skip the Music Emporium and spend your money here instead. The spirit of Matt Leff is alive and well thanks to kind, well-meaning salespeople like Brendan. I never feel rushed or pressured and I almost always have to stop myself from talking Brendan's ear off whenever I visit. I'm sure even if I did annoy him, he might never even show it. read more

Great vibe. Found exactly what we were looking for (Alvarez acoustic). Will definitely be back.

Got a Martin D-18 for Christmas (not from Matt's, unfortunately. Won't happen again, though). Disappointed how hard it was to play. I mentioned it to the young guy at the counter and he said "Bring it in. We have a luthier who'd be glad to look at it". Or words to that effect. Very happy with everything he did. Huge difference. I'm still terrible but, the guitar is mint. I can't thank you guys enough. Sorry I didn't get names. 5 Stars, highly recommend. Goodbye big box guitar store. You should be ashamed of yourselves sending out a brand-new guitar in the shape mine was in. Also bought a used Martin X from them. Great guitar, great value. Thanks again. read more

I bought a couple of Les Paul style guitars here Matt was a great guitarist and still is we listen to him quite a bit and keep a picture of Matt with the light next to his thank you card in the studio for inspiration read more

Great local music store with staff who are knowledgeable and helpful. Got a fair trade in value on my Takamine and picked up a fantastic Alvarez acoustic. Highly recommend these guys. read more

Matt's Music Center - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Weymouth, Massachusetts

I just discovered Matt's this past week and I'm so glad I did. Not only do they have quality gear but also excellent customer service. I was able to take my time and compare two guitars I was thinking about purchasing and walked away with a fantastic Suhr Classic S. It was a good thing I walked out when I did because they have so much great stuff I might've just kept buying gear. I can't recommend Matt's enough and look forward to going back sometime in the future. read more

Great to do business with so far. Had Jay help me with ENGL Ironball and Mesa Boogie mini rectifier 1x12 cab purchase since I needed to downsize my guitar rig due to apartment living and wanted light gear for small club gigs. Good pricing, fast shipping and Jay was receptive to my questions and very patient. Good stuff! ENGL amps are hard to find in the larger box stores so these folks delivered as expected. read more

Very kind and helpful. Killer selection of axes too! Definitely will be dumping more money into guitar after visiting this place!

Picked up a dr z mini z via internet. Easy Peezy. Great service. Love the amp. Great selection of boutique guitar stuff. Good prices and shipped immediately. read more

Matts Music is an awesome locally owned music shop! I've been going there since they were in the Pleasant Shops, but the new location is even better. The owner Matt and Manager Jay are both accomplished musicians and know their stuff. The instructors are incredibly talented as well. Despite being a local shop they have a huge niche online presence selling top quality boutique gear. The wall of Suhr and Tom Anderson guitars is amazing not to mention the gorgeous amps like Dr. Z. You just can't find that stuff anywhere. Seriously it's worth seeing even if you're just window shopping. If you're looking for some new gear or lessons I HIGHLY recommend them. They always provide the service and attention the National and online stores just can't deliver... read more

Diezel guitar amps are somewhat of a rare breed, so you can't just walk into Guitar Center and pick one up. They're also a bit on the pricey side so expect to lay down some bank when you find one. Salwender International is the distributor but you'll only find a handful of shops they sell to since Diezel is a one man boutique type of outfit. Surprisingly the best deal I could find was at Matt's in Massachussetts and not only did they get me a good deal, they got a head and cab out to me pronto. Now the first cab had a tear in the Tolex and they replaced it pretty quickly. That's amazing from something as large and unruly as a speaker cabinet. Great customer service considering they're across the country from me. read more

Matt's is moving to another Weymouth location March 2012. Bigger practice rooms will be great. Acoustic guitar teacher knowledgeable and helped me with technique, etc. I have future lessons set up and looking forward to progressing! read more

This rating is only for their acoustic guitar lessons... I wanted to give them 2.5 stars..... I signed up for a 4-pack of lessons which were very nicely given to me as a gift. I really can't say my experience was devistating....but....I did not continue after my 4th appointment. The teacher was OK, he was knowledgable, and qualified. But in my frank opinion, I just didn't play enough during the lesson. (and I'm not the type to consider my lesson part of my practice routine) We did a lot of talking, and I watched him play a lot. I felt he needed to see me play more, and this just didn't happen enough. Maybe the lesson lengths were too short. The typical lesson is only 30 minutes long, which really isn't long enough for me. If I decided to go ahead with these guys, I would've requested 45 min. lessons, but then of course it would've probably cost more....hmf. The rooms are a tad cramped....they're the typical 1-person practice room size. It wasn't a complete waste of time....I picked up a couple pointers, but I might've picked up the same by watching YouTube videos. Maybe I just didn't have the right "teacher/student" chemistry... read more

First rate from start to finish. Responded to all my emails quickly. Shipped the guitar quickly on a Monday and I got it on Wednesday. Can't ask for any better treatment from these guys. They will be my first call on any future guitar purchases. Thanks a lot. read more

Matt's Music has the best customer service and are a real pleasure to work with. I am on my second guitar build with them and I have to say that Jay in sales is top notch! He has made both experiences extremely easy and I would highly recommend everyone who is looking for musical instruments to go to Matt's Music. They are truly one of a kind! Thanks again Jay and Matt's for taking good care of me! read more

Matt's delivered my Timmy pedal in a timely manner even in the middle of a snow storm. Everything was in great shape and very thoroughly packed! read more

I came across Matt's Music online and noticed they carry a ton of great high end gear. Online shopping for this kind of stuff can be tough so I was a bit nervous at first but Jay made it VERY easy! I ended up placing an order and had the amp a few days later and can say firsthand that the guys at Matt's both know their stuff! Great "local" place for online shoppers and real people that will actually answer the phone. 5 stars just might not be enough! read more

Jay was absolutely wonderful. Matt's is a top-notch shop with excellent stock and brands run by knowledgeable people that were most accommodating and kind. I would happily recommend friends and look forward to doing business here again in the future. Thank you! read more

Matt's Music is hands down the best music shop on the shore. The staff is always more than willing to help me pick out gear and they have a huge selection of guitars that you can't find anywhere else. I love this place! read more

Love Matt's Music!! Jay Tagg goes the extra mile to help customers and potential customers easy to talk to fast replies to emails and very knowledgeable on the products they carry! Would highly recommend this shop!!! read more

Matt, Jay, and overall Matt's Music are killer.... New location is also pretty killer. Clean, well laid out, and of the brands they stock, you'll find anything from the 'entry-level' version to a $4000 plus version. Probably the best part is the guys.... The last few years with the downturn economy all the fellows that actually KNEW anything had to get other jobs as the 'mom & pops' have gotten killed by guitar center. (Which ive gotten so frustrated overhearing ex-burger flippers trying to talk guitars at GC ive been known to inject corrections while they present) Somehow Matt's has endured the bad economy and gotten bigger!! Matt and Jay are very cool laid back guys who will be happy to help you tear into a top of the line Warwick on a top shelf Mesa Boogie.... And then treat you first rate if you so choose to buy a cheaper model... Price-wise, i dont know if anyone even haggles in music stores, but at Matt's you have no reason to... They must be HIGHLY in tune with websites, GC, etc since every price they've ever given me is right in line where you hope it is. I wish they were closer to home for me, i have to drive an hour to the store, but it's worth it to deal with these guys... They're top notch read more

I had a great experience with these guys. I drove about 60 miles to check it out and wasn't disappointed. Super friendly staff gave me a more than fair offer for my trade in. Answered all of my questions without the whatever attitude you get at certain box stores. Very down to earth and was made to feel welcome... It's a gear junkies paradise with great high end gear... My only complaint is that after my visit I am about 4000 lighter in the wallet... Also banned from the south shore by my girl... I'll sneak back soon though! read more

Bought my custom shop Jackson from these guys and won't bring it anywhere for maintainence. Always professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

This is a world class store with great gear and great people. I've never had a negative experience with these guys in person or online. Matt and Jay are great musicians and really know their stuff. Without a doubt my favorite music store on the east coast! Support these guys!! They have way better gear than online retailers and will match any price!! read more

This place is pretty good. Decent selection, fair prices, nice staff. I prefer the Kingston location, though it's smaller, it's never as busy. If you're on the south shore and looking for music equipment, check this place out. read more

Matt's is hands down one of the best stores, if not the best in MA. The staff is knowledgeable and they are always there to help. They are not a high pressure sales staff at all but they will help you if you want it. They are always willing to let you try any gear you like. I have been dealing with Matt for 20 years and keep coming back for one reason. They are the best at what they do. As a side note, I have purchased all levels of gear from them from low end kick around stuff to boutique brands. The experience has been consistent and amazing each time. You owe it to yourself to check them out for any gear purchase lesson or even a simple set up. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Matt's music for about 10 years now - I started guitar lessons there when I was 9 years old and have had a few different teachers there. Some were great and others weren't but I was able to get a new instructor if that was the case. While Matt's isn't the place to get a cheap instrument, it's a great place to get high end gear that plays well and will last. I've had nothing but good experiences at this store and will be going back very soon! read more

Found a "hard to find" amp (Mark V 25) on their site online and called to check details. Had the amp a few days later and can say firsthand that the guys at Matt's both know their stuff and know that when you have a hankering for a new toy it needs to get shipped out fast. They actually shipped over Easter weekend and I had the amp days before I expected it. Great "local" place for online shoppers and real people that will actually answer the phone. 5 stars just might not be enough... read more

I cannot say enough about my experience at Matt's Music: beautiful, clean, and inviting store, amazing high-end gear at great prices, and Matt himself was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the amps I tried out during my visit. Why go to your local chain retailer (where you have to sift through mountains of over-priced mediocre gear) when you can support an amazing local store full of the best gear around?! Thanks, Matt - I'll be back soon. read more

As a recent MA transplant who possesses a robust avidity all things guitar, I was (and unfortunately still am) in search of a "go to" music store. After reading good reviews online and checking out their promising "inventory", I decided to make the trek eastward to Matt's music. The brands available online were first rate, however the selection in the store itself was far from advertised. Even though Matt's was pretty empty, it felt quite cramped for my tastes. Far to small to unleash an amp with any reasonable volume. When it comes to guitar stores, I am a fan of the "let me know if you have any questions" and hands-off approach. Yes I understand guitars are expensive, but the vibe I got was a constant "don't break that......" Cramping my style man! No dice. Anyways, perhaps I will have better luck solely dealing with them online. Still searching for my axe palace... read more

I've been going to take lessons there for two years and I have found the teachers to be top notch. The staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. It is where I would always go to find anything I need for equipment and would reccomend them to anyone looking for instruments or lessons read more

I've had nothing but good experiences with Matt's music , I've purchased many items over the years. My favorite esp bass , lynch pedal , and many other cool toys . Matt's could find anything i requested . I love them ! Plus sent it all directly to my doorstep .thanks again Matt's !! You rock ! read more

This is a great store. They specialize in rock guitars so carry Ibanez, ESP and Jackson but also carry G&L, PRS and Gibson Custom Shop. In addition to Ibanez, Alvarez and Martin acoustics. They do also carry other instruments but seeing as how I am a guitar player that is what I am focusing on. They have a good selection and all of the stuff is set up perfectly. It is very rare to go to a store and find the guitars set up and in tune with no dings and scratches. All of the staff is always friendly and you will almost always find Matt there himself. This is a big plus in my opinion. You can not walk into a Guitar Center or Daddy's and find the CEO there to help you. Matt cares about his customers and there satisfaction and will do anything to make sure you walk away happy. From what I have seen his prices are lower on a lot of his high end guitars than just about everyone else. You owe it to yourself to check this store out. read more
