"No one comes close to World Music Nashville!"

 

"What is there to say! I have purchased guitars and amps for over 40 years from NYC to LA purchasing hundreds of guitars and can honestly say that when my needs call for new, state of the art, cutting edge tools of the trade, no one comes close to World Music Nashville! They have dealt with me as a friend, not just a customer and have considered my needs first every time. I have never left feeling like I didn't get exactly what I wanted at a price I could more than live with. That's why I keep going back and I want to thank Larry, Lisa, John, Brandon, Dave, Patrick and the rest of the staff at World Music Nashville for taking care of me in a big way since day one!"

"My favorite Nashville music store by far"

 

World Music Nashville,

This is my favorite Nashville music store by far.  Used gear, New gear, no matter what they sell they have always been helpful.  I've bought 3 guitar amps 2 guitars and one bass from this store as well as a couple wireless.  I've only had trouble with one product which they fixed onsite while I waited and it took less then 15 minutes.  The staff is helpful but not pushy and when you walk the halls of the school you can really hear the quality of the lessons.  I am an endorsed artist and could order my gear direct but still shop here because of the helpfulness of the staff.  And it's nice to be remembered everytime you come in.  When I'm on tour I'm always wearing my world music shirt so people know where I buy my stuff.  Speaking of which I'll be in later this week for Bass strings as they have the best selection.  I've been to every music store in the greater Nashville area but this is one where my friends actually have to pull me out by the hand because I get enamored not only by the quality of the instruments but the Uniqueness of their selection.

Keep up the good work

Thanks so much for the great deal on the Gretsch Duo Jet. You guys are a breath of fresh air when it comes to music stores...your confidence as professionals is very clear, yet you serve the customer with integrity and service. I appreciate you guys and look forward to staying connected with you. I'll send you some of our music. You can catch it at iTunes...just search for "Central Worship" and we have two projects up.

"WMN is a very classy and impressive store that has a mom and pop feel"

  Just wanted to say how nice it is to have finally found a music store that has a staff as cool as their gear!  World Music Nashville is a very classy and impressive store that has a mom and pop feel with everything you would ever need whether you're a beginner, a musical enthusiast, or a seasoned-pro.  In most music stores I feel bombarded by an undesirable atmosphere driven by ego and unfortunately high prices. My wife and I were impressed that Larry (the Owner) was hands on and you know after speaking with him and shaking his hand that his positive vibe sets the tone for the store.  The staff was very knowledgeable and this place seems to have limitless resources as they have a top-notch educational staff that provides affordable lessons. I can't tell you how long I've been searching for a store like World Music Nashville-The exception not the rule.  All of this and your prices are right! If you guys sold toilet paper I'd never go to Wal-Mart again.  Thank you.

Re: Cole Clark FL3ACG Acoustic/Electric Guitar
To: Dave Johnson

Greetings Dave,

I finally got a chance to play my new Fat Lady. It is truly unbelievable! I own a couple of Martin's, a couple of Gibson's, along with some other great guitars, but nothing really comes close to the tremendous sound that comes out of that pickup system in the Cole Clark guitar. I really don't know how else to describe it. It is the sound that I have been searching for.

"Imagine a place that would talk you out of a sale because they're honest!"

 

The first thoughts that come to my mind when I think about World Music are, people, service, and product. I've known Larry and John from the time they first opened the store. I have bought just about all my equipment from World Music. Whether I need a cable, stand, guitar, or anything, I get the same attention and information no matter the cost. Sometimes I just get info, or a suggestion that I don't need a piece of gear I'm asking about because it would be a waste of my money. Imagine a place that would talk you out of a sale because they're honest!

How I Feel About World Music- By Billy Hell

My name is Jim T. Graham and I'm a guitar addict. I have played the guitar for 38 years and it appears to be the one constant throughout my life starting on a ranch in Texas, my rock and roll days in the 90's while living in Hollywood, and now my family years in Nashville. Is it the shape, the wood, the tone, the craftsmanship that makes them so alluring? I'm not sure, but I do know that there is nothing like a great guitar store to get me excited and help me step away from the world for an hour or so. I've been a probably to thousands of guitar stores. My first guitar store sold farm equipment in the front and guitars in the back. Maybe that set the tone for what a guitar store means to me, a family like setting where everyone knows who you were and just as excited about guitars as you are. I've also had my share of terrible experiences in guitar stores. I've experienced rude staff, walls of guitars that are out of tune and/or not set up at all, and sometimes just a bad "vibe" in general.

When my first real guitar, a 1976 Ovation, literally blew up on me I was on the hunt in Nashville for my next life long acoustic. This led me on a journey through every music store in Nashville. I learned a lot about the new breed of git boxes and even more about music stores. To my surprise the best music store in Nashville is literally 5 minutes from my house, World Music Nashville. The first thing I noticed was there the selection was vast and ranged from quality affordable guitars to high-end tone machines. The next thing that I noticed is that they were all in tune and set-up to perfection. I had never experienced a store like this.

Now I'm a picky guy. I'm not the kind to walk in, play a guitar and walk out with it. That means I spent a lot of time playing different brands and price ranges. The guys at World Music could not have been more accommodating. I felt totally at ease and not that usual feeling of being "on the clock" while trying out guitars. In fact I got to know the salesman on the floor and now know most by first name. That alone hooked me into World Music. What you can't see is that in the back is a guy named "Harvey". If you own a guitar or many guitars one day they are going to need a doctor. The fact that World Music has a guitar doc in the back doubles the value of the store to me. It's worth a lot that the guy working on my guitar is going to be there in the future and if already familiar with the guitar I'm bringing in. And he is just a friendly as all the other guys.

When I walk into a guitar store the first thing I do is scan the wall. I'm looking for what's new, what's on sale, what is unique and which guitar is calling out to me. World Music never lets me down. There is always something on that wall that grabs me. The fact that the sales people know me by name also makes the whole experience great. So it is my own personal opinion that World Music is the best guitar store in Music City... and that is saying a lot for a guitar town like this. Thanks to World Music and all the staff that make it the number one place I go when trying to get my guitar "fix".

  I've been a customer of World Music Nashville since they first opened their doors, and I have always found the help, knowledge, and equipment I needed right there in the store.

"My love letter to you"

 

My love letter to you

Hey guys,

I just want to say how much you are appreciated by me and my family. You have been so kind and helpful to me over the years, helping me finally find the right tube amp with Harvey's magical Blues Junior mod. You have been so sweet to my 6-year old daughter by helping her find the right violin as she begins her own musical journey. You have also been an integral part of the worship music of my church, Good Shepherd Presbyterian, in helping us with our live sound equipment purchases.  I'm sure many others will share how wonderful it is to have a community music store that is really plugged in (forgive the pun) to the community.  I love seeing what new exclusive guitar and amp lines that Larry brings in to the shop and hope to have this opportunity for many years to come.

"I am glad that they don't site me for loitering ... because ..."

 

It has been a real thrill to take guitar lessons with my daughter for nearly two years now.  The staff @ World Music Nashville is second to none and all are there to help.  Larry & Lisa run a fun place to be and I am glad that they don't site me for loitering sometimes because I hang out during my daughter's lesson and at other times just because it has a relaxed atmosphere.  Even though I will never play the Ryman, the folks at World Music are very supportive.

"One of the biggest I've ever seen & just packed full of great instruments"

 

Just to drop ya'll a line, I thought I would let ya'll know how much I enjoy coming into the store.  Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating.  All your employees are very knowledgeable about each and every product in the store.  Your guitar tech is exceptional and full of advice whenever you ask a question about service issues.  I would have to congratulate you on you lay-away program.  It's easy and very convenient.  And finally, I would like to compliment you on having a fantastic guitar wall.  One of the biggest I've ever seen and just packed full of great instruments.

For those of you who would like to do business with Larry and his staff, I would recommend L. Lisa.  She's the best!!!!

"He ... heads straight for the piano to practice what he learned"

 

My twelve year old son has been taking piano lessons at World Music for several months. He has learned so much in a short period of time. After the lesson he comes home and heads straight for the piano to practice what he learned. Everyone from his piano teacher to the staff members have been great. If I have to reschedule a lesson it is no problem, the staff helps me to find an open spot that will fit into our schedule. We feel so lucky to have found such a great place that is close to where we live. We plan on continuing piano lesson at World Music for a long time.

Gadow Guitars, American Series, "an incredible experience"

 

"Thank you so much for the Gadow. What an incredible instrument!!! As we had discussed, this was a gift for my husband's 60th birthday and what a gift it was. You helped me make his 60th a memorable one. As you had recommended, I had my husband contact Ryan Gadow to register the guitar. They spent about an hour on the phone talking about guitars and what not. What an incredible experience to be able to speak with the president of the company of the guitar you just bought! He's still on cloud 9.

I am 100% satisfied and am so happy to know that there are businesses on the internet that have such great personal communication."
