The luthier here did an excellent job of retaining my low action on a vintage Goya while replacing the nut and bridge with a new set. Incredibly fast turnaround as well.

Stopped by here a few times while working in San Angelo (I live in Abilene) and finally bought a guitar from them for my daughter today. Impressive selection for the size, much better than the few options we have in Abilene. I was surprised to see most of their prices were the same or cheaper than Guitar Center. Customer service is solid with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a look before you buy online or drive to DFW!

Very knowledgeable and friendly. They did not have the drummer stool I was looking for for my Dad but they found it in another town and brought it to San Angelo so I could see it and so he could sit on it and make sure it was comfortable. They offered advice about the drummer throne and one employee recommended it because he uses the very same one. Great experience! I highly recommend Tarpley.

Im over 2 years late, but I want to give a HUGE shout of appreciation and gratitude towards the guitar tech, Matthew Anderson! I cant recommend anyone better than Matt, because this guy is a master guitar repair wizard, a fellow rock and metalhead, an overall nice dude and a young man who obviously loves his job! And that is something I could never get over because its so rare to witness these days! Hes worked on countless guitars that I brought in throughout the years and theyd be returned to me exponentially better than when I first purchased them! Beyond my expectations! Tone, feel, aesthetic, etc! Seriously, Matt is the guy Id recommend! If I could give 10 stars or even 100, I ABSOLUTELY WOULD! Thank you for all your hard work! -David

Had questions regarding equipment and computer compatibility and usage. A very kind, patient man helped me with everything. Being a musician himself and excellent at tech, he was able to walk me through the process and it wasn t expensive either. Everyone there was nice and l enjoyed hearing a young man just jamming on the guitar for fun while l was there. Highly recommend this company.

I had a bad break on the head stock of a Les Paul Custom...shipped it to someone who worked for Gibson for 20 years to repair it but it wasn t quite right...then the repair failed and I was worse off than where I started. I then took it to Tarpley Music. Just picked it up today. Amazing job on the repair and the set up is nothing short of perfection. Thank you guys! Highly recommend

Tarpleys is a shop for musician fanatics! They offer brand names at brand prices, but the best part is if you see an instrument you love, they allow you to test it out before buying. They even fix instruments if broken as well! The staff is very chill and easy to get along with! The many times I have been there, have never had a problem!

Brought my guitar in to be restrung. The employee took the guitar without quoting me a price or giving me an indication of what the cost would be. I typically pay a few dollars for restringing, so I was shocked when he returned 2 minutes later and asked me to pay $40 (?!) at no point was this price quoted to me. I am astounded that a store can charge something like that without stating it up-front to the customer. At any point, if he would have said it will be $40 for me to restring it for you I would have paid for the strings and taken it home to do it myself. I dont care if they want to charge $40 for restringing, but they need to be honest and upfront with the customer. I had no choice but to pay for the service, since it was already done, and I was never given the option to agree to it. I will not be returning to Tarpley, and I have contacted my musician friends in the local area.

Best staff Ive ever met in a Music store. Knowledgeable and courteous, one of the techs stopped working on a guitar setup and took time to walk me around each department of the store. Ive never gotten so much good information about gear in such a short time. Im new to Texas, from Florida, and Im telling you that youll never get that kind of service there. Only in The Lone Star State. As for the guitars, youll see things here that the big box stores dont have in stock. Nice selection of amps,as well. Check them out,youll be glad you did,

It is a very good music store for the clientele that it serves, and I am rating it as such. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and eager to help or let you browse as you choose. I wish it could carry real, acoustic pianos, and an extensive selection of piano music rather than just a small sampling. But I understand that the market just doesn t support that right now. Acoustic pianos are making a comeback, though, because people are realizing the difference in sound and touch, and also the difference in people s learning speeds on a real piano vs. an electric one. So, I can hope! Tarpley s is obviously responsive to their clientele, so I know they will carry whatever the general public wants. They really are an excellent store.
