The staff was helpful. The discount could have been better. But I walked away happy.

First time going here for guitar strings. Seems like a nice store, but the location has been so challenging to get to that I usually go places where parking is easier. Ill certainly make it a point to go and spend some time here after the pandemic restrictions ease.

Staff is super friendly and helpful. They have a good selection of electric guitars and pedals too. Definitely going back for all my guitar needs!

Great Staff of Musicians... Excellent Inventory! Fair Prices... Artists Choice! AAA+

Great music store, very friendly!!!

Great place with a variety of instruments. The selection is not too big though, so if youre looking for a very specific model you might not be able to find it here. Its a great place with awesome staff though.

Today is the last day for this store.😢 Sayonara

I love this store, they have lots of gear and will leave you alone to explore until your heart is content. Thanks guys

Walking into Instrumental SB is a comforting feeling. Its an experience comparable to the feeling of being reunited with an old friend after a long separation. The warm smiling faces of the staff are welcoming and familiar. Sometimes, I just go in for the conversation and to enjoy the atmosphere. The staff never make me feel pressured to buy something, but are also extremely knowledgable and make fantastic suggestions for what I need. Marvin has never let me down, and the new guy Jacob always has a smile on. Fantastic place.

Much better then guitar center. Everyone there is helpful and theyll most likely have what youre looking for.

Love this store! Nice people. Wanted a Tweed Fender case for me new Tele but they didnt have any so they made me a deal on a hard Gator case and it was perfect. Its a small-ish store but theyve got a nice, well chosen inventory and will take the extra effort to help. Parking in back and easy access from the alley.

Excellent service.

I spent several months working with the staff on purchasing a new guitar. Lots of phone calls, visits and emails. Many times I just sat in the store and compared guitars back to back. Throughout it all they were always helpful and never made me feel like I was taking too much of their time. Marvin was particularly helpful. Finally made my purchase. Great experience. Also, they always seem to have very special models that you won’t find anywhere else. So always worth seeing what they have.

Great guys here! Marvin the manager is super kind and helpful. Do glad this place exists!

Nice music shop. The biggest in town. Just think they could bring the instrument you ask for with no buying compromise. That would be a huge difference between other stores in town!

Pretty good selection of guitars and other musical gear, very accommodating staff. Easy return/exchange policy. Reasonable prices.Ill be back!

Awesome staff, went above and beyond to help me when I was in Santa Barbara. Highly Recommended.

Excellent service and prices. Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend Instrumental Music to any level of musician.

20- something clerk with silly blond waxed mustache just about ruined a decent music store visit by being a condescending jerko{{. Tried to overcharge me for bass strings, and when i questioned the price, told me that bass strings are expensive, theyre not like guitar stings. Since i came in carrying my bass, he would have done better to assume i know WTF i am talking about. The staff was generally not very attentive; some nice instruments tho.

I personally like the Ventura location better.

Good selection and pretty good staff. Competitive prices

To have a local store where the people running the show are knowledgeable and helpful is as luxury. From the actual instrumental/pro audio gear to the financial aspect of things, Instrumental Music SB is a great resource.

Got to try out a ton of guitars. The staff is nice.

Very nice and competent staff. One caught an error I made in choosing a cable and others have made great suggestions.

Service was good. Price was good. I LOVE MY NEW GUITAR

Great shop, friendly staff, highly recommend it! If you have read some of the poor reviews underneath dont be deterred, the shop is under wonderful new management!
