Music Trader

Went in this week to look for an electric guitar and amp for our daughter’s birthday. Fantastic place and the owner is knowledgeable and very very helpful. We could not find the guitar but we bought an amp. We will certainly be back to find her second guitar, the place has lots of gear of all types and is one of those places a musician should drop by every once and awhile to see what has come in.

Music Trader has a 'hole-in-the-wall' sort of vibe with a dash of flea market chaos, but there's treasure to be found here! Amps, cabinets, heads, cases, keyboards, rack gear, guitars, violins, drums, strings, cables and accessories, lights, drums, etc etc etc... It's quite a lot of stuff for the size of this place.
Great stop for those who don't really have anything in particular that they're looking for. You might just stumble upon something you never knew you needed.

A cool stop for musicians

I've been coming here for years. I am still amazed that this one guy manages to do such a great job. This is always my 1st consideration for any of my musical needs!

Just got a new guitar here!!! Mr Paul was so nice and very helpful!

We got two guitars from this gentleman along with a case a two straps and we couldn’t be happier. He’s very knowledgeable and helped us find the perfect guitar for us, shame I don’t live here anymore otherwise I would check this place out regularly!

We love Paul!! We always enjoy going to his store! He offers many services! We’ve called in orders for musical needs and he always delivers very quickly! Very kind & knows everything about music. Never had any problems in the couple of decades we’ve known him!

Music Trader is an Atlanta institution! I remember when I was 8 years old in 1986, my dad driving passed Music Trader with their brightly colored sign that caught my eye. I remember purchasing my first guitar in my late teen's (1998) and needing equipment and finally getting to go inside. I just recently bought another guitar and I needed some things. I live far away from Tucker, but when I drove through, there it was still in operation!! Paul is helpful and even opened a few minutes early to help me! If you have musical needs, visit Music Trader! This is only music company I shop with.

This place looks like it needs a little love, but that belies the treasures that lie inside. This is an excellent place to find/trade music gear, but it doesn't have everything, and you will need to check in frequently to see what has come in. The owner, Paul, is a font of knowledge, and I end up either walking away with the equipment I need or more understanding about that equipment. My two boys and I have been building up a tiny Christmas concert that we're doing, and we enjoy our visits here. I highly recommend that you come, meet Paul, and spend some time here. It only takes 5 minutes to see if they have what you're looking for, but you might find yourself spending a little more time just because of the friendliness and service.

Paul is simply Amazing!!!!! I felt valued and very confident in the knowledges he’d shared with me within the short time of my purchase! I expressed to him the concerns of my church ministry over the phone, by the time I arrived to the store he’d created a whole package within my budget ready for demo at the store! This will forever be my go-to store for all of my pro-audio needs! He’s exactly who I can trust when I have concerns about my ministry’s audio!

Great customer service! I always have the best experience. I recommend 5 stars!!!

Excellent service at a great price, brought my bass in for a repair, and got a call that it was ready for pickup 15 minutes later.

Paul is always helpful and friendly; very knowledgeable. Good guitar and amp selection, great values. Highly recommend!

I haven't physically been a customer or walked inside this store but contacted them to discuss what type of equipment I could purchase to be able to record my noisey neighbors who live above me. I was able to speak w Paul and he was ahhhhhhhhmazing! He didn't take advantage of the situation or try to build dollars for the store revenue. He asked questions on what I'd be doing with it ... gave me a frank & honest opinion based off his personal experience which I very much appreciated. It is refreshing to come across people who really do look out or care for those who are not just their customers but simply just helping another human being!

Paul's store suits the needs of the community and is well rounded. He genuinely cares and is eager to get you set up with what you need. He is knowledgeable about everything in his store and always has something in there that is interesting. I always leave happy. How about the fact that it's not 40 minutes away but in the heart of downtown Tucker, the little town in a big city.
Service, Selection, and Value, what more could you want?

The owner of the store was awesome he gave me a fair price for equipment I sold him he even came in on Sunday morning to meet with me and conclude business. U would def recommend music trader to any of my friends or family

One of the better places to find used gear

Brought my guitar here for a wiring repair, the gentleman behind the counter did an excellent job and was suuuuuper fast. Very good pricing for the repair and the gear in the store. They have all kinds of cool uncommon stuff as well. Definitely give them your business.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! The owner Paul is really helpful and understanding. He gives really good expert advice. I just started playing guitar 3 weeks ago and I got my guitar for there. Paul was really helpful, he even wrote me a couple chords to learn as a boost to help me get started. If you are looking for a place to go to start playing an instrument or get a really nice instrument, I suggest you go there.

I was first introduced to this store by a musician friend of mine 4 years ago. I shop here regularly because you never know what your going to fine. I've bought used gear and had equipment repair in a timely manner. The owner is very knowledgeable about music equipment. I appreciate you sir for your knowledge and wisdom. The South Bay Project

Bought a bass and was a great one. There are other good instruments available at attractive prices too. Thanks for good customer service. I’ll be back if I need anything else.

I've known Paul for almost 30 years, there is reason why he's still in business. He goes out of his way to make you happy and he charges a fair price. Not many stores and owners like him around anymore.
