Austin and his staff are always very friendly, down to earth, straightforward and inviting. They've got a lot of neat old amps, very interesting guitars and prices are very fair. Very comfy and inviting space.

I had a difficult experience at another music store trying to get some repair work done on my guitar after keeping my guitar for over 2 months, they quoted me an astronomical price for some fairly routine stuff. I got it back from them and took it to Richard's after a friend recommended them. I dropped it off one afternoon, and was able to pick it up the next day. They did exactly what I was needing done, fast, for a reasonable price. Shout out to Brad, he was super helpful, he deserves a bonus or something!! I will definitely look there for my next instrument. I highly recommend Richard's Music!!

We've been going to Richard's Music for quite a few years now. We've always have gotten good service and good deals. I like that all the guys in the store are seasoned musicians in bands. They are always very helpful and knowledgeable. I've had guitars and amps worked on here too. Turn around it pretty quick. While it's not a huge place, it is jam packed with new and used equipment. You don't see it in any of the photos but there is an upstairs with some drum kits and other equipment. We stop in often to see what the latest used stuff they have is. My kids like to noodle on guitars every once in a while and the staff does not mind, in fact they encourage it. It's places like this that make Downtown Lawrence fun to visit.Update: I guess I posted that about 10 years ago now :) We still frequent Richard's Music for all our instrument needs. We've become good friends with a lot of the Music teachers and staff. I was there yesterday checking stuff out :) Still one of go to places for getting instruments and gear,new and used as well as repairs.

Austin and the rest of the crew have always treated me and everyone else I know very well. Their knowledge is shared freely, they carry and repair a wide variety of new and used gear of all shapes, sizes, and eras. Can’t say enough about this great local shop!

Wonderful service and knowledgeable staff. We're willing to fix my janky bass amp I brought multiple times haha. Guy who fixed my amp (Austin) is a super cool dude. Would highly recommend

Didn't shop, but my toddler heard someone tuning a guitar (?????) and power pointed because clearly a concert was about to start. She was shy but we will 100% be back.

awesome music store. i stopped here on tour a few years ago and left with a 1969 vibro champ! to this day, i haven't seen one in comparable condition for sale for a lower price. i play that amp all the time, and i was super impressed with the store overall. small, but with an interesting selection of new and vintage guitars and amps. nice folks, too.

I dig this joint i spend money here and feel like I'm indeed buying local. Anything I need or want they have on the spot. Vintage items are always there to tinker with. I wish them many more years here in Lawrence, KS! #Fahgetaboutit!!
