Exploring the various music stores in Jacksonville, I came across Clark's Music Center…read more Located in the Lakeshore area, Clark's has recently moved to a new location, in the process downsizing their operations. They now focus on guitar and percussion, and have moved away from keyboards, which is sad for me. The store is small, but they have a nice little selection of guitars in the store, along with a repair section that appears to handle more than just guitars. I saw a cornet trumpet being brought in for work, so they seem to know their stuff.

Shane and his family are great. I will return as long as I play. I stop and sniff the acoustic room every time I am on the west side of Jacksonville. Occasionally something traps me and another one goes home. If you are a guitar player, when you know you found her, there is no question. I met my Martin favorite "Brown Dog" there and she is a lifetime keeper. They also take quality trades, great prices and service.

It was here that we were able to buy an entire setup for a budding acoustic guitarist from hard travel case to sheet music! There is a pretty good inventory for this little strip mall location with primarily new equipment. When we were shopping here they also had some used guitars in great shape as well. In addition to great selection, the staff here is completely passionate about music and was incredibly helpful getting our aspiring guitarist fully equipped with everything needed to get started. I believe they even through in some free picks in addition to all of this staff's enthusiastic words of wisdom. We even were treated to an electric guitar solo by one of the folks working that day! This was an educational and fun shopping spree for sure! Loved it!!

So many of the guitars are out of tune, the action on many are ridiculous and pretty much unable to play. I just don't get it. I see guitars with broken strings and I've seen them more than once. It's a shame that they're all locked up, but I understand why, I get it. But who ever is in charge of that guitar room needs to give it an overhaul. Fix the guitars, tune, the guitars, and change their strings. They look terrible.

Martin 12-20 needed new tuning machines in the slotted head stock and Gidson J-45 needed a list of more minor attention. Clay at CRG treated both guitars as if he were the owner of them. By applying his skills and craftsmanship to these two instruments he has transformed both! They play easier, sound better, and are more beautiful in appearance than ever befor! If you have a musical stringed instrument that you treasure, or needs care or repair, look no further! Clay is very reasonable in turnaround time and cost management but the real bargain if found in his genuine skill as a luthier and his respect and regard for your prized music maker!
