The guitar guys and girls at the north store are fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable. Rodrigo is always helpful and good to talk with. Just be aware that they’ve moved all guitar work to the south store…..and thus…..are a month behind even for a simple set-up. Business must be boomin’.

Strait Music North staff helped me pick out instruments for a Make A Wish fund raiser at The Little Longhorn Saloon held on May 26, 2024. All the instruments played great!! The guitars were set up perfectly. Intonation was right on the money. Thanks once again for supporting this event.

Called in for a bass I saw online. Every employee I talked to was friendly and helpful. Bass arrived extremely well packed. Would definitely buy from Strait Music again. Thanks!
