Unbelievably rude, because we didn't buy our amp there, but were asking questions about hooking it up. Then to find out it was for a guitar we purchased from them. Also purchased other items in the past and made my last purchase today. Thanks for the business backbeat.

I have been coming here for years as most of the reviewers. I have always had a decent experience. I'm just an amateur guitar player who doesn't practice much and i don't know much about music. I have to be fair and mention that, yes, the staff has at times, seemed curt and disinterested but I've never had an out-and-out bad experience here. It's possible that they were simply just distracted or overwhelmed, it happens! I got lessons here from a swell guy several years ago. I wish i could remember his name. They seem to have a large variety of items like accessories-tuners, picks, strings, stands for your chords, chord books, guitar cases and guitars. They offer stringing services, although I've never used them. I think I've seen a few banjos and mandolins for sale over the years, although those may have been instruments taken on trade, i don't know for a fact if they stock and sell those instruments. I also don't know if they do trade-in as I've never had anything to trade. I have seen ukuleles there for sale. It is possible that they have expanded the lessons they offer into other instruments, such as wind instruments but I am not sure. That would depend entirely upon there being any such instructors available here in Jonesboro that don't already have their own business giving lessons. That's a lot of "maybes". It would be good to call and just ask, if this is important to you. I do know that they used to give drum lessons, it's possible they still do. If you are a musician or have a musician in your life, check this place out!

I've worked only with Greg and he's been great. I tend to come in with too many questions and he has had no problem addressing them and being patient. He helped me trade a guitar and he has never declined looking for other parts and assortments I need. Support your local businesses like these who treat their customers kindly.

Very nice place with everything you need. Come in and hang out. Play something, get what you need, some stuff is from China. Try to avoid those products if you can. Good bunch of guys.

I went to Back Beat today not knowing exactly what to look for or what to get but Gavin greeted me immediately and helped me SO much!! He was very informative and helped my pick the perfect guitar for my husband. I am so pleased with pricing, the experience, and knowledge and help from Gavin. My husband loves his new guitar and accessories! I would recommend Back Beat 100%!

We have been going to Back Beat for years. Gavin has been really great to work with. He is so patient and kind hearted. He has been a mentor to my son and because of that I've gotten to watch my sons skill and ability grow beyond belief. He hS really taken the time to foster my sons love for music.

Great place to shop,However one small issue I had there was when I was wanting to repair my Fender Guitar. The guitar was beat up a bit, had no strings, paint was damaged, and the knobs for the tuning were gone and the plate was cracked. My friend found it in an abandoned place and it was a decent guitar it was just badly damaged.I went there to the receptionist and all I got was, "You are better off buying a new guitar" Etc. He was insistent on me just buying a new guitar. It was a very arrogant moment.There are good thing's about the place but from my only experience on this It was a huge waste of my time trying to repair, love the shop, the staff is pretty chill but I believe there can be changes.

Outstanding place to buy gear and just an awesome guitar selection. Have not only the popular stuff but those rare gems. Staff is first class and did not stand over you while your trying to make a decision. Best guitar buying experience I have ever had. I will be back.

Really cool, knowledgeable, and helpful staff! Always a pleasure to stop in. THE place to go in northeast Arkansas for musical equipment &/or lessons. An impressive gear selection for a store in such a small city. They do killer setups too! Zach made my old Alvarez play like it never had! Really good folks there!
