Usually love traveling and visiting different guitar stores but I don’t recommend this one. Unless you wanna be followed around constantly with heavy pressure to buy a guitar right away Don’t come here. Bald douche bag in the back with an attitude was the most unpleasant part of the experience.
I cant say enough good things about Limelight, Rick, Mitch, Bruce et al. I have been a happy customer for too many years to count and have purchased several guitars, amps, effects and accessories with no complaints. In fact, quite the opposite. The service has always been excellent. They deliver on their promises and meet or, mostly beat the web prices. The best part is that theyre real people with names and faces and that makes the buying experience much more personal and pleasant. If you want good service, great prices, and nice folks to deal with, Limelight is your answer.
Stopped in on a whim to pick up a tambourine, ended up starting guitar lessons with my Crestwood again after several years of a lapse (never really caught on the way I felt I could have then), and was paired with Frank. After only a couple of lessons with him, it clicked; excellent instructor for my needs! I was so thrilled about the prospect of playing the guitar, I ended up buying a new Yamaha! The guys were extremely knowledgeable, understood what I was looking for, and accommodating when recommending a guitar, and switching it over for my left-handed playing. It is so much more comfortable, small, light, etc. that I am really looking forward to playing again. You have all been an amazing help! Thanks guys!!
During the past decade, Limelight has consistently provided our family with top products, lessons & some really experienced advice on all sorts of topics.The guys are all very friendly & knowledgable.My son has taken guitar & ukulele lessons from Phil during all his teenage years,(& still keeps coming back for more!); says Phils a really good teacher. Highly recommended, just a great place all around.
My car wasnt working so I took my motorcycle to Limelight Music, to pick up a bass that they were holding for me. when I realized the difficulty of getting the bass (In a hardshell case, no less) onto my back to drive away on, I was worried. My worries subsided quickly as the gentlemen working there spent a great amount of their time (and their duct tape) to ensure that the bass would make the 40 mile trip back safely to my home, strapped to my back on a motorcycle.Well, I made it back home safely thanks to them, and I have a beautiful bass that survived the ordeal.These guys at Limelight Music are phenomenal at customer service, and as a 1st time visitor/buyer I know Ill be back there.

2021-07-23This past 4th ofJuly weekend 2021, I decided to finally get the Les Paul model that I have always wanted. I had shoulder surgery in 2013, and stroke in 2017. I still have tingling, and limited motion in my left (I play right handed guitar) hand, and was looking for something more for physical therapy. In addition, Ill be having back surgery in August or September. The Epiphone Les Paul standard pro plustop, in Green Burst, was a no go. Too heavy, and green is no longer available. I talked to Rick, explained the situation, and told him I would stop in the next day and talk to him. He sent me info on two Epiphone Les Paul Muse guitars he had in stock. I did some research on them. Even though they are basically chic guitars they fit my needs perfectly. Its a lighter guitar, and is beveled to easily play sitting down. Rick knew exactly what I really needed and was very patient. I never felt rushed or pressured. In fact we had a BS session after the sale. I really felt comfortable. It is now going to be my go-to store for any future purchases. I dont like supporting the big chains. I prefer supporting smaller, local stores in my community. It was a very pleasant experience. I also couldnt have asked for a better guitar to suit my physical issues. Limelight music now has a new committed customer.

2021-03-09Awesome place and awesome staff. There was a small miscommunication but Rick and Mitch took care of it big time. I purchased a beautiful banjo that sounds fantastic. They have a great selection, very knowledgeable, and you are supporting local business and families. Thanks Limelight!

2020-11-09Very knowledgeable staff and not too pushy. When you want to be left alone they get the hint. Great prices and the guitars are all set up and ready to go. They have a good selection for a small place and are willing to order whatever you want to buy. This is my new place.

2019-12-10Great local music store. First choice for all my guitar purchases and much better to deal with than big box music stores. I always get treated fairly and recommend to musicians of all skill levels. Salespeople are real musicians. Rick is a great guy who has been in the business for many years. I am lucky to have this store in my neighborhood!

2019-09-04Ive been a customer for years, and while I dont shop often, when I do, its been all good. The prices are either competitive or better than the online stores, the service is exemplary and there is a great selection of guitars, esp. electric ones. Always have what I need in stock, and if not, they order it. Plus, its a small local businessthat I like to support.

2020-07-29Took a used Strat I purchased secondhand to be setup, as the prior owner played with things he shouldnt have. Not only was turnaround time lightning fast, the guitar sounds and plays absolutely perfect. I am overjoyed to say the least, and didnt want to put it down. Love this place, thanks guys.

2018-02-05I just bought a ukulele there - Rick was very helpful and pleasant! He gave me a great deal and took the time to educate me on all the facets of the instrument and theyre even setting it up for me! Definitely the best experience Ive had buying an instrument.
