Hoggtowne Music, Gainesville FL

They have the most awesome assortment of musical instruments! Anything you can think to play you can buy here! They also have an awesome website where you can virtually view everything they have in there for sale!

Ya'll are awesome! Thank you for the help on my purchase and help with the set up of my guitar! Btw, if someone is looking for their Snark tuner, you left it in my case. I'll bring it back next time I visit.

I rented a trumpet for my fifth grader in a rush to get the task done. If you're taking the time to read reviews, take the time to buy somewhere else. I wish I would have. They are overpriced. She is in 8th grade now and I am still paying on it. For my second child, I bought used outright and wish I had done so with the first child.

My "go to" instrumental music store. Friendly staff. Excellent and fairly priced repair work. They've moved since my last visit, so check your GPS, or you'll be going around in circles,

Excellent service. Excellent customer rapoire. Had a 12 string guitar repaired perfectly. Purchased a guitar there, got home and realized the I didn't get the gig bag. They called the next day to tell me to pickup my gig bag. Honesty rules!

I had my bass guitar repaired/setup here. After it was repaired, I did not have an opportunity to test it out for a couple weeks due to other circumstances. When I came back to it, I tried to tune the D string and it somehow came unraveled from the inner metal core. I immediately went back to the store and explained the situation. The luthier was kind enough to replace the string and make a minor adjustment to the truss rod after the rapid weather change had bowed it a bit. I will definitely return here for all my repair needs.

They helped me out in a pinch. My daughter's flute stopped working late on a Friday afternoon and they got it working again in just a few minutes so she could continue to use it in school. They were knowledgeable and friendly.

Thank you to Hoggtowne Music! I first walked into the store and asked for assistance finding someone to tune our piano. And they were kind enough to refer a great person. During my second visit they took the time to help me find the perfect gift for my daughter answering all my questions. One item they didn’t have in stock and called me later to help locate the item. Great service you only get local!

Chris at Hoggetowne Music restrong my precious ukulele that was hand built from 100 year old sunk spruce from Schroon Lake NY by my friend at Bass Rock, Eric Bright. Tuning her now multiple times a day in she sounds AWESOME! Thank you so much!

Went the first time and was sold the wrong book for my daughter's class because of an incorrect order from hoggtowne. My daughter came back to exchange for the correct book and they would not exchange without original credit card. They knew it came from them. Came back a third time sent my daughter in with all the card to swap the book and of course no more books. Now they want my daughter to get my card pin for a return I came into the store and the guy continued to ask me for my pin I try to support local but they were so disorganized, agrevating and clueless that I ordered the book online and will cut my 10 loss to not waste anymore time. Bad service is bad service and they were in no way helpful I'm my experience. The first time was a mistake the second time was just rise and the third time was enough to write this.

I'm not sure what forwarding it to her instructor will help. I get that someone made a mistake. It happens. But you should have swapped her book when she came in and you had them. Instead she was told you couldn't exchange it without the card it was purchased with. What kind of policy is that I can't exchange a book that someone made a mistake on without the card. I appreciate the offer to credit my 10 but I will not spend a fourth trip or more more of my time in this effort. Mistakes happen but bad service is bad service.

This shop is full of an amazing staff who are kind, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile to help a customer. When you go into the store and leaving the store you get treated like family. I bought my American StratPro, Fender Princeton, ukulele and various pieces of gear here, and if they don't have what I'm looking for.they will find it and have it shipped. Joe the owner has completely brought one of my guitars back to life as well as working on two others. The price of the repair work is very reasonable and his skill with an attention to detail are top notch. They have families in there all the time for bands instruments and lessons. I would recommend them and do recommend them to everyone.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would recommend this location to anyone who is curious, or wants to learn more about any kind of music.

Brought my 12 string in for new set of strings and long delayed set up. Chris did a great job and it sounds better than ever. I've bought a lot of equipment from them over the years (including the aforementioned Seagull 12 string), a Yamaha StagePass PA, and even down to Fred Kelly speed picks. It all works perfectly and their advice is spot on.

I have always trusted the fine folks at Hoggetowne Music to help me out with a lot of my musical needs. On my most recent visit, there was a slight inconvenience that occurred- nothing too major, (that's life). I was able to set up a meeting with Joe and Melonie (owners), and discuss with them the issue at hand. They were extremely attentive to my concerns, offered a solution, and were very apologetic, all the while being friendly and professional.
Long story short. The first time in many many years I've ever had a "glitch", and they went out of their way to fix it. Proving once again, if you need anything musically related the awesome people at Hoggetowne Music are the fine folks you want to speak with!

Had a very short experience with this music store. Went in told them what I needed, they had everything in stock. I was in and out in 15min. They even helped me out to load my items into my vehicle. Good experience overall

I've been going to Hoggtowne for years to get my Les Paul routinely restringed. Over this past weekend I picked up an Ibanez JBM100 Jake Bowen Signature series guitar and was really cautious about where to take it for a set up. I've never owned a piece of music gear this nice and have never played on a floyd rose. I knew I was too scared to start messing with it myself so I decided to take it into Hoggtowne. They were extremely knowledgeable on what I was bringing to them and I learned a lot about what I was getting into with this guitar.

I dropped the guitar off on a Monday and it was finished by Wednesday afternoon, earlier than anticipated. Let me tell you something, this guitar is an absolute joy to play. I've been playing it all day (literally) since picking it up from the shop. The set up is perfect and I will 100% be a lifelong return customer. Best place to go to in Gainesville guaranteed.

Located in the inner courtyard of plaza. Did a really good inspection and repair at a reasonable price.

Great local music store! Staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. Had a guitar restrung there and they did a great job! It is especially important these days to support local business and I will definitely shop here again!
