Meadowood Music

Knowledgeable, friendly, excellent service; if you're looking for quality and reliability this is the music store to go to. Plus there's a poodle. 5 star mom and pop shop.

Today I went into Meadowood for the first time with my fiancé and was thoroughly impressed by the world they’ve created. So many gorgeous instruments, and knowledgeable staff. It’s very clear that the owner is truly a music lover, and he encourages his customers to love and play their instruments. We ended up purchasing a gorgeous guitar that my fiancé had been eyeing up for the better part of the year, and I will likely be back for lessons to work on brushing up my violin and guitar skills in the future!

My classical guitar was in desperate need of a new saddle as the one it shipped from the manufacturer with was not properly fitted to the saddle slot and worse, was not at all compensated, resulting in intonation issues up and down the fretboard. While I'm very capable when it comes to working on my own guitars, I just didn't have the desire or time to try and shape a saddle blank and then work to compensate it to dial in the intonation.

I called around and a local luthier recommended I take the guitar to Meadowwood. I stopped in there on a Thursday afternoon and dropped the guitar off with the understanding that with their current backlog, it was possible they might have the guitar for up to a month. Imagine my surprise when I received a call the following Friday evening informing me that my guitar was ready for pickup.

I stopped in that Saturday afternoon and picked up the guitar and was blown away by the workmanship of Mike's assistant, Margaret. After getting the guitar home and breaking in the strings a bit I was so pleased to hear the guitar play in tune up and down the neck. Margaret had managed to dial this guitar in perfectly!

I've found my new shop/luthier for all of the future repairs I'm unwilling to tackle! Thanks so much to Mike and Margaret for the quick turnaround and impeccable workmanship!

Great place to do business. I recently purchase a Godin 5th Avenue guitar from Meadowood, and Mike's attention to detail is first class. Mike changed strings for me twice and adjusted the action several times during a demo session with the instrument. He went out of his way to ask me for feedback while making adjustments and string changes. Even though it was a busy time of year for their store, he was not at any time too busy to check back and make an adjustment or even a string change. I have bought several guitars from other stores over the years, and their store is second to none. Thank you, Mike and Paula, I love the guitar, and the setup is perfect!
Additionally, they have great instructors. I have spent approx three years with Gene Cullison @ Meadowood and will be continuing. Great instructor, take a class; one never knows what they may learn!

I can't recommend this place enough Mike and Paula will tell you what needs to be done to your instruments to make them perform at their best.

Today I had one of my electrics (Les Paul) in and one of my acoustics (Hummingbird Custom) in and they took care of me while letting me play a nice Godin Hollowbody acoustic electric while I waited.

Always reasonable and always friendly. I won't ever take my guitars anywhere else! They also do lessons and sell and array of awesome stringed instruments.

If you need help go check them out!! The best in the business.

Over the years, we have purchased 2 twelve string guitars and a mandolin at Meadowood... Very pleased with their products and prices!! And super helpful customer service as well... Keep it up!! The only complaint I have, is that it's not close enough to where I live!😉

I bought my first guitar at Meadowood Music last weekend. Paula and Mike were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are very knowledgeable and made it a very pleasant experience. They showed me every guitar in my price range and explained all the differences. Their primary concern was me going home with the right instrument. Once I made my decision, they made sure I knew how to take the best possible care of my purchase.

There were times during the pandemic when I considered buying a guitar online. I am so happy I resisted that urge. I feel very fortunate to have found Meadowood Music.

I ordered an Eastman E40D-SB back in June, 2020. Mike Andrews & Paula Taylor worked diligently with the Eastman facility in Pomona, California, making sure I was receiving a good quality purchase. When the guitar arrived at Meadowood Music, Mike told me the guitar was in perfect condition, but there was noticeable damage to the guitar case during transport which he said was unacceptable. Both Mike & Paula immediately informed the sales rep and within a couple of weeks, I had the guitar and a new case in my hands. I finally met both Mike & Paula and took a walk around in their beautiful Meadowood Music store. Great atmosphere and kudos to Mike & Paula for being so kind an knowledgeable. Highly recommend Meadowood Music!

Meadowood Music is a quality music store owned and ran by a husband and wife who are very much passionate and knowledgeable about what they are doing. I have not been to a nicer place. Seriously, skip ordering online or going to guitar world, or some other big named store. This place is top notch! They teach affordable lessons, they sell nothing but quality instruments, their customer service is exceptional, their prices were the best I've seen for the quality you get and they even have the sweetest dog!

Mike and Paula are very friendly and helpful. We purchased a number of instruments from them, all excellent quality. 3 of our children take lessons at Meadowood and absolutely love it. My husband and I recommend Meadowood to anyone looking for a string instrument or music lessons.

We have received wonderful guidance with instruments and amplifiers. Much better than searching the net for reviews. The instruction provided to my children kept them engaged.

Meadowood Music is a wonderful place to visit, shop and be cared for by professionals who give a darn about how customers are treated and what their needs are. I’ve relied on Paula Taylor and Mike Andrews of Meadowood Music for instrument purchases, accessory purchases, instrument cleaning and exceptionally expert and detailed repair and set-up work. They are sincere craftsfolk who offer the best advice you’ll receive. No hype; just great advice and help.

Our son has been getting piano lessons from Aiden, he's doing a great job. The people are friendly and welcoming.

Paula and Mike have a shop full of beautiful instruments and musical love! I am not a musician and when my fiance died suddenly several years ago, I was left with two guitars to sell. His friend referred me to Meadowood Music. What a blessing that was! I was emotionally shaky and intimidated by my lack of knowledge. Paula and Mike were very generous with their time and their expertise. I felt comfortable with them from the start. They appraised the instruments for me and assisted me in selling them. Additionally, I grew to love their beautiful shop, their fine instruments and the sense of community they had developed with their customers/friends. Do yourself a favor and stop in! Amazing folks.

I purchased a Martin guitar here many many moons ago and before that, I took guitar lessons with Gene. Everyone is super friendly, super knowledgeable, and they sell excellent products and provide excellent service. I highly recommend them! Thank you Meadowood for your excellent service throughout the years!

I've been taking music lessons at Meadowood Music for over 5 years, this is an uplifting and wonderful place. Paula and Mike are talented and experienced musicians (Paula has a beautiful voice, I heard them perform), and have excellent and knowledgeable music instructors. I have personally purchased two Deering banjo's, a Martin Guitar, and my son had recently purchased a ukulele from Meadowood Music. So if you are looking to learn, purchase instruments, or just enjoy need help with your musical instrument, this is a place to visit.

I have been a customer of Meadowood Music for 13+ years. The store is my “go to” place for guitars, guitar supplies, and service. The owners, Mike and Paula, don’t just meet your expectations, they far surpass them every single visit. Meadowood Music is like a second home to me. Mike and Paula are more than just small business owners, they are good and respectable people. I am proud to call Mike and Paula dear friends. Over the years, I have referred several people to Meadowood Music for all of their their musical instrument needs - guitars, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, and so much more. The store is clean and charming, the product selection of musical instruments and supplies are excellent, and customer service is amazing. I love Meadowood Music!

Love Meadowwood Music! Just bought two more guitars at this business on Saturday. The owners (Paula and Mike) are very knowledgeable and provide excellent service before, during and after you invest in a new instrument. Great selection of instruments on display and very competitive pricing.

I took the time to research shops before calling, and I was not disappointed. Reputation in online mandolin forums held true. Paula spent time on the phone walking this novice from another state through the type of instrument I was interested in and the specific one they had for sale. I
I may not end up purchasing from there, but if I lived locally, I would definitely make this my go-to shop.

Great service, friendly people. This is a “Mom
And Pop” shop that will treat you right! They will not oversell you nor let you buy junk (the store sells quality stuff). They do great work on your instrument and stand by their products. We have spent 90% of our music budget here over the last 10 years, and have sent many many people their way. Keep up the good work!
