The hand-selected instruments and accessories represent the level of quality and taste appreciated by his customers. Customization and repair/upgrades can be done in-store! My husband had a telecaster I bought him online upgraded with humbuckers and new frets. They sell pedals, amps, straps, picks, strings, and can get basically anything you need ordered in. Beautiful colors, textures, shapes, sounds and the smells of wood, vinyl, and leather entice the senses. Located across from Taco Bell on Poplar near Evergreen next to Joe's, Martin boasts its own private parking lot and doorbell-entry security door. Yes, you get to play! My husband lusted after an Anderson guitar he played, and I took note. The Black Friday weekend sale came up and I called the store to buy it over the phone!

Like he was genuinely just wonderful and it didn't feel like a transaction was taking place at all. You can really tell he is passionate about instruments, and extremely knowledgeable (not in a annoying way) on the products.. specifically, guitars. The store is pretty big and they carry pretty much everything with a wide range of choices and brands. Speakers, amps , keyboards, tons of string instruments, drum sets, bongos, Taylor, Gibson, the list is vast...huge selection but not too much to overwhelm you. It's also all arranged in a way, you can see it all and know where to go. Like they put some thought into it.. The staff were all very helpful and nice. Today was special, my daughter has been saving her $$ for a while now and decided to buy herself a Taylor guitar. Josh made this a breeze and once he led her into the acoustic room, she just followed her heart. I can't say enough good things about this experience. My sweet 14 year old couldn't of left here with any bigger of a smile. Josh changed out her strings, shined her Taylor up, hooked us up with a re-chargeable tuner, a strap and a case.. and he made my daughters day even better when he gave her a discount ! He also knew a lot of interesting things about the Taylor brand and was giving us some super cool info/history on Taylor guitars, and their founder.. how he is working to conserve different trees, wood, etc. for the material to continue to supply their company to continue to run smoothly for years and years to come. We are looking forward to our next trip back. Thank you Josh for making this day truly special for her and for letting me snap a pic of you & her purchase... She worked and saved hard for this and I thank you for making this even more so!

Horrible customer service and attitude. Called up here asked if I could have a guitar delivered to…read morethis store from Sweetwater which my friend has done at at a different location in FL. I planned on purchasing another 3k worth of equipment from them when I came to pick it up. When I asked the guy on the phone he responded "absolutely not we will turn it away or throw it away" with an attitude. Lost a life time big spending customer because you just wont accept a package. GC gets tons of packages everyday doesn't even make sense to be an issue. Another guitar store gladly did it and said "I'll do anything to help my customers" so he's getting my money and a lifetime of loyalty instead. Terrible business practice.

Beautiful little store, small but quality selection. Very political, TRUMP stickers everywhere,…read moreconfederate flag decor, and a "guns welcome" sign on the window, if that's your thing. (It's a bit behind the times for me.) The owner is a pilot who isn't usually open, but knows his stock and is respectful of other musicians. Children are not welcome to play in the store (nor should they be). Some vintage pieces by Ventura County Vintage hang in the center of the store. Lots of pretty acoustic guitars, Diamond, Boogie, and MESA cabinets, as well as Marshall, Fender, soldano, and hiwatt. Play your pick in the "room of doom", with some incredible collectible and unique speakers. His collection of cabinets and amps is worth a look, just for conversation! Great stories from a 5th generation Memphian.

There's more guns and politics at this store than there is music so if you're into that sort of thing and paying someone big margins when you could get it from Reverb instead then this is the place for you. Luckily we have places like Martin Music, Circle, and Revolve around with folks that are just into the music.

We began looking for a new piano to replace my near 70-year old one. Lane was the last place we…read morevisited and should have been the first. Lane has a sizeable collection of new & used pianos of all sizes, styles, and prices. Chuck Taylor knows his stuff. He encouraged me to play as many as I wanted without rushing us. He respected our budget and knowledgeably answered our questions. We felt very comfortable in working with him. Chuck went out of his way to have a tuner come in and work his magic on a new as-yet-untuned piano just so we could better judge the quality of the piano we ultimately purchased. Offered a great price, with a warranty, delivery/set up, full trade-in value, and removal of our old piano. He and piano mover Peyton were prompt and efficient in delivery. It was the kind of purchase that we felt good about, no doubts at all, and complete confidence in both Chuck and Lane Music. Glad we ended up there, as we ended our search with the best selection, value and service.

My son played with different items in the store. The owners enjoy people trying things to see what they really like and what feels right to the customer. They really do encourage the love of music. They have all kinds of sevices. I always enjoy going in there because the staff is very helpful. I know I will enjoy taking my daughter for piano lessons before too long. The reasonable prices, friendly staff, and large selection of instruments and accessories is definitely what will keep my family returning.
