Garden State Music Center Inc

Great customer service, great price. I came in to get guitar strap buttons installed on my autoharp. They were very nice and did it in a timely manner, only charging me for the cost of the materials. 10/10 would go there again.

I have been going to Garden State Music for over 15 years and have always experienced top notch service. Their inventory is always high quality and inventory maintenance is second to none. I pick up a guitar and its set up and in tune! Their student orchestral instrument selection is fantastic as well. I highly recommend using this store for your musical needs of any kind!

Great Experience
I had a terrific experience at Garden State Music purchasing a guitar. The Associate Lisa was cordial and informative and the atmosphere in the store was very pleasant. Zach was very polite and helpful too. A healthy array of instruments and accessories and I found an instrument that fits my taste more than when I traveled far to Guitar Center and Sam Ash. There were a couple of guitar set up issues which they courteously and professionally attended to also. I highly endorse this music store.

This place is the real deal. Only place you should ever buy an instrument from ! They are reliable and have a great relationship with every customer. You can get any instrument, even rent them, and they do lessons for every instrument even vocal lessons! Everyone there is so professional, down to earth, and skilled in their profession! Also Don is a great vocal coach! This place is great, you gotta check it out!!!

Absolutely fantastic guitar set up! Half the price of other places and the fastest turn around time I’ve seen. Dropped it off Thursday and got a call Friday morning that it was ready to be picked up. Guitar plays like butter now. Truly great work!

All I want to say is that my stepson took guitar lessons with the owner of Garden State Music, Bill Merritt, and he was fantastic. Bill always went above and beyond for him, changing his strings, repairing his guitar and supplying him with everything he needed at no cost. When my stepson showed up for lessons without a guitar strap, Bill grabbed a brand new one off the wall and told us not to worry about it. Throughout our time there, Bill also supplied him with brand new books, picks, and other accessories. Bill is a great musician and a generous man. Everyone should go support his business!

Knowledgeable staff. Allowed to play the guitar and mike it up.Prices are in the right ballpark. The same guitar we purchased was $20 less at Guitar center but it’d cost me $5-$10 in gasoline alone to travel so, it was worth purchasing here. I recommend them to you

Great music store. Excellent selection of instruments and top notch lessons. Have purchased new and used instruments (saxophones and trumpets). They also have done numerous repairs, always professional and reasonably priced. Great staff also!

Dropped off my trumpet for a deep clean and got it back in mint condition. I could tell from the first lick my sound was better. While I am at fault for letting 10+ years ago without getting treatment done, GSMC did a great job getting it back in shape! Thanks all!

great staff, great teachers, just a great place all around ! my daughter takes guitar lessons with Don & she's all smiles at the end of her lessons. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for music lessons for their kids or even themselves !

The team here is professional and responsive to my guitar needs....which never ends. The key word is trust. You can trust them with all your fine guitars and get pro results.

Friendly folks and fun selection of musical gear. Skeletons they setup around the place playing guitar are a nice touch 👌

I took my 5 string bass here for a setup. My baby plays like butter now! This is the only shop around that I will take my instruments to. Very knowledgeable staff.

Always a pleasure.
Everyone at Garden State 💯
