Music Trader

I've been buying from Paul at the Music Trader in Tucker, GA for many years and have always found him to be helpful. He has a lot of cheap stuff and he tells you that. However, he has the best price on strings in town at $3.00 and he has good quality straps for $5.00. I've bought guitars, fiddles, mandolins, strings, pick ups and other electronic gear, etc. He's very helpful in setting his instruments up and he has all kinds of amps, mixers, etc at good prices. I recommend the store highly. Pros: great selection of all things musical Cons: most stuff is inexpensive Chinese for beginners or less discerning musicians more

I TOTALLY disagree with Jarvis. If he had taken any time at all to talk with Paul (the owner) he would have found him to be MUCH more helpful than anyone I have spoken with at guitar Center and I do like Guitar Center! Paul goes above and beyond to give good service and his knowledge of music and equipment is amazing! I have gone in several times not knowing exactly what I needed and he talked me through the process and educated me along the way. The store is not as flashy as Guitar Center and yes it may be a little dark and cluttered but it's usually the ""hole in the wall"" places that give you the best service and have the personality! The store is next to a friendly local bar not a liquor store and a barber shop. Jarvis must be speaking of his neighborhood because the area around The Music Trader is hardly crime ridden. It's Tucker, Georgia! A GREAT place to live! Thanks Paul for having your great little music store! Pros: Great selection of used equipment. Paul knows his business! Cons: Lots of stuff packed into a small store... more

The worst shopping experience I've ever known. The salesperson, who turned out to be the OWNER, was incredibly rude, short with his words, and made me feel quite uncomfortable. I tried to give the local guy my business, but if this is the thank you, forget it. Prices were high, place was filthy, dimly lit and in high crime area next to a liquor store and a check cashing place. Do yourself a favor, go to GUITAR CENTER or better yet, GO ONLINE, buy it cheaper and let this guy put himself out of business. Will never go back again. more
