I called these guys today with a bit of an emergency. We were at the convention center two miles away and we had a guitar giveaway in less than an hour. As I was tuning the guitar I noticed how loose the strings were and POP! I lost one! I had less than an hour to find a music store, but strings, and get the guitar re-stringed! Good thing Raymond answered my call and told me I could come by. He took care of everything in 15 minutes and only charged me $20! I can't NOT recommend them! Not only that but the shop was so much fun! So many different kinds guitars and pedals! Any guitar player's dream! Also tons of collectibles, clothing items, frames, records, dvds, CDs, cassettes, mics, rare items you won't find anywhere. I even sent them another client to buy a guitar case after the drawing! Go there and tell them I said hello! Good people great service! read more

Do yourself a favor when you come here - take your time walking around and observing every single cool thing in this store and consider purchasing it to take home with you. There are so many unique items in this store that I was completely smitten by the eclectic nature of where and how all of the cool stuff that you can find here. Buttons, guitars, musical instruments, clothing, VHS, strings for your guitar or banjo, amps, collectibles, antiques, cool looking rattler snake preserved in some brown liquid, comic books, posters, skulls, taxidermy, and so much more here. I really appreciated the front door that was donned with local flyers and events and even saw an ads seeking a band member for a riot grrl band named Eating Shampoo! This place is weird and I love it! read more

A unique place in San Antonio worth a visit. Lost of interesting gear and artifacts. If you want something you can't find online or a big box store, this is the place read more

Great place to go and look and check out some used gear. They're pretty chill and let you do your own thing. They have a layaway system which is pretty fair and helped me buy my first actual guitar. Pretty happy with my DuoSonic it's definitely an interesting and quite odd guitar lol. Super nice workers and HUGE diversity in what's in stock. Going back soon to look for an amp! read more

Love these guys! I found out about them in 2015 from someone while I was at Alamo music for lessons. I took one of my guitars there for a pickup change, and I have been a customer ever since. The cost of repairs is a lot cheaper than the other shops I had been to. They also have a quick turnaround time. My Dean guitar was ready the next day after the pickups were changed. The cost for the pickups to be changed was $45. I took my BC Rich Warlock NJ last year to be rerouted for it to fit a left-handed Floyd Rose, after other stores wanted an arm and a leg. I only paid $85 for the route and setup. You won't be disappointed if you come here. read more

Never replies back to messages. Would not want to "bother them again with any questions"

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a wonderful array of modern and vintage instruments. Fantastic place all around!

I'm visiting from out of town and wanted to find a local shop to grab some supplies to fix up an acoustic. The vibe and energy of the place is amazing. The customer service and genuine nature of the employees is unreal. So thankful I stopped here. Some of the nicest people I've been around. read more

This place is amazing! Great to find unique gifts. Guitars and all other types of music equipment. The owners are awesome and super friendly. If you're in SA, you need to stop by. read more

This place is the greatest and most unique guitar store and gift shop in San Antonio! If you are looking for an amazing, unique, one-of-a-kind gift for someone special.....this is the place. If you are looking for rare, vintage, classic, or "one-off", one-of-a-kind instrument, amplifier, or accessory...this is the place. The owners/proprietors of this store are super friendly and knowledgeable guys. They have combed the Earth (and guitar shows across the country) to bring a world of colorful classics and wonderful weirdness back home just for you. Every inch of this shop is covered in a mind-boggling array of quality instruments and accessories, and cool and unusual items. Once you step in the door you will never want to leave. So many amazing classic and vintage guitars and basses, synths, pedals, amps, amps, and more amps, and every accessory you might ever need. Comics, books, records, collectables, apparel, weird and unique gifts. I should also mention that this shop is owned and operated by working musicians who are icons in the local alternative and underground music community, and have helped support and build our local scene in San Antonio with blood, sweat, and tears. They are also incredibly down-to-earth, humble, helpful, nice guys. They can help you find something for any age, budget, or skill level. Don't spend your hard earned cash at some corporate douche-bag big-box store full of sweatshop made crap. Why not support a local small business that supports our local scene instead? Quality gear and gifts at very reasonable prices. This place is a rare gem, you owe it to yourself to stop in and check it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

Knowledgeable staff, vinyl albums, and some other odd but fun items. It's really just a quaint little music store.

The service is friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable, and they always play my favorite Barry Manilow tunes.

I needed service on my nylon string guitar for a gig later that evening. Joe agreed to take my guitar in and had the work done and ready within 4 hours. It was truly a "gig-saver" because there was no way I could have done it myself in the same time. Plus, he offered great tips on improving my pedal board - even holding one to the side for my return the next day! Definitely will be doing more business here!! read more

I went here after eating breakfast at El Milagrito cafe. What a cute vintage place. I saw something that looked like a Balalaika. It took me back to the movie Dr. Zhivago. read more

What a great little funky fresh spot for classic electric guitars, amps and crazy collectables. Loved it. Joe was a nice guy. Puro San Antonio! read more

Scott 'Carrot Top' Thompson, a comedian and a friend of mine who also has the same birthday, February 25th, as mine and of course is much more funnier than I am. We had a short conversation before I left Las Vegas and when I mentioned that I was on my was to San Antonio he insisted that I have breakfast at El Milagrito Cafe and definitely make it a point to add Robot-Monster-Guitars and Collectables to my agenda. Well I took Scott's advice/recommendation and dropped in after having the best breakfast ever and I am still excited that I did. I will be here in San Antonio for a few more weeks finishing up my recording session and I suppose I probably don't even have to write this but I am going to take every advantage I possibly can to have breakfast at El Milagrito Cafe and afterwards step into my now most favorite spot, Robot-Monster Guitars and Collectables and pick up a few things for Carrot Tops Stage Props. I saw some pretty cool effect pedals too and if they are still there I am going to buy every single one. LOL.....(At least the ones I want to use) Great Shop Fellas R. N. read more

Awesome inventory of everything from collectible vinyl, effects, amps, guitars, and stuff you had no idea you wanted. Kick ass Marshall amp? Check. Soviet-era gas mask? Check. Run by musicians(without the snotty attitude you get at the big box stores) for musicians and collectors of memorabilia, check them out before anyone else. Pricing is very fair and the quality of the stuff they sell is excellent! These guys know their stuff! read more

This shop is full of awesome vintage stuff of all kinds, and the staff is super knowledgable and friendly! Check em out!

THIS LITTLE PLACE KICKS ASS! If you're looking for good used guitars and basses, or want to get rid of one that doesn't fit you, this is the place to go! They have guitars for beginners and used high-end guitars and basses, amps and accessories. The staff is always willing to take the time to listen to the customer and they know their sh*t. Bobdog kicks ass! They also have some other weird stuff that reminds you of the time when there was real music. Don't go to the pawn shop or the big conglomerate music store, they will just diss you and deflate your wallet. Check this place out first! read more
