I have been doing business with Centre Music since 1976. I'd recommend them to anybody. I usually…read morefind good-to-great prices here, in similar range as the big-box music store(s) down the street--But I also find Corbitt and his son Max. Corbitt opened the place in 1973, and he's as warm and honest a guy as you're ever going to find. (He's also hilariously droll, and knows a lot about music, musical instruments, music history, life, the universe, and everything.) His son Max now handles much of the everyday operations, and shares most or all of Corbitt's strengths, as named above. Which is really cool--It means there'll be a Centre Music in Framingham for another generation. Great place for lessons, too.

Centre Music House is a real find.

Great selection of vintage amps - practically a whole wall stacked with Fender tube tone…read more (drool....) Nice dude who runs this place. Reasonable prices, not as much selection as Guitar Center obviously, but a lot more personality, just like all the small shops. Preferable indeed! Didn't have much time to peep the guitar selection. Looked pretty standard...no jaw-dropping Les Pauls or anything, but a few solid used axes nonetheless. Not much for drummers, although he did have a few cymbals, so if you need some color in your kit's cymbal arsenal, maybe give him a call to see what he's got. Best for the used amps/cabs though...good selection considering the size of the joint.

He has set up my guitar students with just the right guitar for a great price. He also has a great guitar repair guy who fixed my 1982 Ovation when others said that I need to send it to the factory. It works great now! Both of these guys are well-seasoned guitar pros who have been around the block, not like some 20-something trying to sell you the guitar with the highest markup at the big stores. So go see George at Liberty. You will find a friend (and a store) for life!

Before charging me any money, Gary suggested trying a low-dough remedy which I tried. The issue persisted so I contacted Gary on Christmas Day via email. He got back to me very quickly and was able to accommodate a last second repair just in time for a gig I had. Not only that but the expert repair that he performed was done AHEAD of schedule and at a VERY reasonable rate. I definitely recommend Gary for your guitar maintenance and repair needs. He's friendly, trustworthy and knows what he's doing. If you're in the Pepperell, Ashby, Townsend, Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Ashburnham areas, do yourself a favor and give him a try. I think you'll be impressed. Thanks Gary!
