Gorby's Music, Inc. 214 7th Avenue, South Charleston, WV 25303

"I still cherish this beautiful acoustic guitar I played here for the very first time. I sat down with it and just knew it felt right like it was what I needed for the sound I was going for. I still take great care of it to this day. Gorby’s also installed a strap button on it, as it just came with one for some reason. Now I have a DiMarzio quick release locking strap installed to take it around with me anywhere, anytime! I just love it! The staff at Gorby’s are very helpful, generous, and caring for peoples questions and needs. They do good work. Take your instruments here, not pied piper! Pied Piper is the bastion of broken dreams and failed promises. They don’t possess very genuine or business friendly attitudes, and it’s always a competition of upselling each other to make the commission. They don’t treat novice and beginner musicians any better, they will try and take your inquiries “serious” only to the dollar amount; and they will probably not take you seriously if you get all goo-goo-eyed over a nice instrument. They don’t take young people seriously as they usually think or wrongly assume you are too broke or still not good enough to buy their gear. They are kind of snobby. They also absolutely hate restringing Floyd Rose bridge electric guitars, especially that guy David, he complained the entire time he reluctantly did restring my guitar the first time I had to learn how to restring it. It was done really quickly and I was not happy with his attitude so I didn’t even bother watching him perform the string replacement so I just learned online and on YouTube, another thing I can thank myself (and the internet) for teaching myself.. Go to Gorby’s, it is the ONLY correct choice. And they won’t try and squeeze you for commission sales or misdirect you, leading you down a spiraling journey of spending more and more money, instead Gorby’s will reassure you that your needs are met with precision to customer needs, although usually in very timely fashion, sometimes their work load is cut out for them due to them being top in the area of South Charleston, they will still try and fit you in and give you a good estimated time even if they’re kind of busy. There is a good atmosphere and no hostility, just instruments and good friendly people! Go tell them I sent ya! :)"

"Nice quiet music store. Very friendly and helpful staff. They've been a staple of the community for a very long time."

"Pathetic. Simply pathetic. 2 years ago, I came to find Christian piano music but was told that due to the pandemic, their supply was.low. fast forward 2 years. Same situation, same story. Never going back. No wonder people shop the internet more."

"When I was moving out of town and needed to get ride of my old instruments these were the guys that took care of me. It seems the music store scene has took a turn trying to find a good store that sells used instruments is getting harder, but these guys know their stuff. I highly recommend them for your music needs in the area."

"Love this music store. I've been going here since I was born."
