Music Shoppe

Incredible selection and knowledge of the industry. One of the best original, single owner guitar retailers in the USA. I was blown away by the inventory and reasonable pricing. And it’s right here in Terre Haute, Indiana. Worth the drive.

I've been going to The Music Shoppe for 30 years. Always great selection. Honest and knowledgeable! They have always treated me fair!

This place is amazing! Who would have thought a place like this in Terre Haute?? Over 1000 guitars in stock and every kind of unique guitar and brand! I could go on and on - Japanese Fenders, New Old Stock of Vintage Jackson’s, and on and on. Because they have so many guitars stacked so close together, they had to hand the guitars to you. Our salesman Brad was a trooper - he must have handed me 100 guitars - he was up and down ladders for two hours! John the owner was awesome and I could have stood there the whole day listening to his stories of the musicians he has sold to!

It is a bit overwhelming when you walk in - my head was spinning with all the 🎸 . Everything is well organized.

It’s the type of experience that you want when shopping - they took their time, they were friendly and knowledgeable!! Can’t speak highly enough! I can’t wait to go back! Got a cool vintage Danelectro!

I came in today and these guys were awesome! I'm a greenhorn when it comes to guitar and I want to learn so I decided to stop by and buy me a new guitar and amplifier. They took the time to let me try out many guitars and amplifiers, explained the basics to me, sat down and showed me how all the guitars worked and sounded, and we had a really good time. I ended up leaving with a Gibson Les Paul that sounds amazing with the new amplifier I got with it. My amp came with a lot of buttons and knobs I didn't know anything about and they showed me how to navigate it very well. Hands down best customer service I've ever had. I really appreciate today's experience and the Music Shoppe will now be my #1 place to go for all things music!!! You guys are awesome, Thank You!!!

My daughter and I were pleasantly surprised by the quantity and quality of the instruments they have. We were impressed at the knowledge John shared about guitars. We were pleased to find out they teach lessons also. This is the place to go for Music instruments ect.

The best place to buy music gear! John and his team are absolutely outstanding at what they do and the service they provide. Highly recommended!!!

The most unassuming appearance on the outside of this place....Behind the front door...is a portal into A Guitarists definition of of "Used-gear Paradise'' awaits just thru the entrance, waiting to smack you into an alternate dimension..there are often "Rarities" from eras that are too far gone and another time period to find anything like them with a simple google search. THIS PLACE has the stuff you'd never even know
You needed/wanted..much less have google search for it
It would take days upon days, to even BEGIN to see all the random hidden gems hidden among over 1000 guitars

Love this place! I'm glad they have remained in business all these years, especially since it may be the only music shop left in town. They always have high quality and unique products at a fair price. The guys on staff are always sociable and make for great conversation.

Great local shop for all your music needs and wants . The owner and all his staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Locally owned and very good selection . Best selection of guitars I've ever seen any where .

Very helpful. My husband built a vintage style Fender Telecaster for my son and was having issues with a pickup. And we even got to hear the guy sing and play! Looking forward to going back soon!

A gem of rock music equipment and history. There are everything you need from beginners to pros. They have amps I had not seen in years.

I don't see how anyone could give these guys a bad rating, you must not know your guitars or pricing. These guys sale used 1000$ guitars for next to nothing! They're helpful, are willing to haggle their prices down, and are generally cool dudes! After visiting there I automatically regretted purchasing a guitar online from guitar center, which just arrived and had a warped neck!

They have a massive selection and were great about helping me (someone newer to guitar playing) out with all of my questions and needs! The guitar I bought was in great condition, plays well, and they helped me hit the right price for it as well.

I've known John, the owner, for close to 50 years. He really knows his stuff. He has about 1000 instruments in stock and if he doesn't have it he can get it. Good selection of vintage guitars.

My son is taking electric guitar lessons and really enjoys it. He really likes his teacher and it's affordable!

By far the best music/guitar shoppe anywhere around for more than 40 years. Stocked with literally thousands of vintage guitars, as well as hundreds of various other instruments including but not limited to basses, drums, harps, keyboards, amps, speakers, PA systems, recording gear, strings, sticks, straps, stands, parts, repair service for almost anything music-related, and a bunch of other cool swag and fun stuff. Any and everything you can think of or ever possibly need for all that is music, you can find here. They also offer music lessons and are happy to help however they can. This is the place to go. Very highly recommended....Go check it out!!

First time here, 1940s -1950s 'feel' about the store itself..think of the movie "Mr.Magorium's Toy Emporium". Wasn't expecting as many axes as I found. If you're looking for a Danelectro, you'll find one. Gibson's, Fender's, G&L's, Fernandez, new and used, all in a very intimate, and basically compact store. Will definitely be returning

I'm new to learning guitar and the guys in there were more than helpful to get me set up with everything I needed to get started. The prices were the best around, and were comparable to the big box stores. Shop local.

Most of the bad experiences on here are due to the costumer not checking out the item good enough before they purchased it. Before you by something you look at it really good, you play the guitar or amp. I have had nothing but successful purchases from the store.

The guys in there were super nice and easy going. Great atmosphere and plenty of guitars to choose from! Looking forward to coming back and getting more gear 😀
