This place has been around for a long time for a reason. It is so much better than the big box alternative across town. They have pretty much everything you need. The sales staff is never intrusive. If you need help they are very knowledgable and attentive, actually trying to solve your problem rather than sell you something. My only gripes -- the wait times to get a guitar set-up can get a little long, and i wish they had a broader selection of $$$ guitars -- but the enemy of excellence is perfection....

Really happy with both the repair and customer service. I had a pretty nasty headstock break and Mark fixed it up BEAUTIFULLY! You can barely notice the break anymore. This was the second time I got this specific break repaired and it was so much better than the first time/place I got it fixed. 100% recommend to anyone!

These guys rock. They are knowledgeable and Asheville friendly. They arent trying to take all your money and they have supplies for beginners to pros.

I dont usually write reviews, but I felt I needed to write this one. I brought my Taylor 12 string in with some neck issues and met with Mark. He went over the problem with me and recommended a neck adjustment and set up. He was very up front with what was to be done; when it would be done and how much it would cost. Done, done and done. Friendly, courteous, prompt, professional and fair. I picked my guitar up on Monday and now - 2 days later, I cant walk by it without picking it up. Its fun to play again - as good as, if not better than, the day I bought it. Thank you, Mark. You and the rest of the staff are the best Ive ever encountered - and Im 75 years old.

I bought an amp from these guys yesterday with the help of Bond. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted but after talking with him, he set up 4 separate amps for me to switch between until I found what I was looking for. I got a great price and a rocking amp. This is my second time going there and it will not be my last. Both times I’ve been, I’ve had honest and friendly help without having to track anyone down or beg for assistance. Could not be happier with the service I received. Don’t let this place pass you by.

Locally owned! Always super helpful and honest. Ive bought products and used their repair services quite a few times. Brought one of my electrics in the other day for some work by the onsite Luthier. Turned out that one of the work items I thought was an issue and requested be fixed really wasnt the problem. They found the real issue, fixed the guitar and bill was $30 cheaper than I was originally quoted. A+

I was bored with my 10+ year old telecaster. I felt like the tone options weren’t that great and was only playing in the neck position. I contact Mark Toolan about some modifications and he was a tremendous help. He worked with me to find out what I was looking for and then figured out a way to make it happen. We ended up doing several mods on it and it sounds amazing. It’s back to being my #1 guitar.I highly recommend Mark for any guitar work.

Probably the best in town but that isnt a very high bar. I went today to buy a Taylor guitar and left, empty handed and unsatisfied...again. Id like to do business locally but... They have a pretty good ukulele selection and knowledgeable sales staff.

One of the best, if not best music shops Ive been to thus far. I walked in and Brian was eager to help me get my guitar looking like new. He gave my fret board a new sleek shine and really went above and beyond. They will have all my business from now on. Thanks guys!

Exceptional experience. Personnel were knowledgeable, experienced and displayed an exceptional level of customer service. John and his staff saved us over and $1000 on a purchase of a large screen TV. They installed it skillfully and followed up to ensure that we are using it as advertised. Can’t say enough good things about John, his staff and the musicians workshop organization. Larry Marzullo

Musicians Workshop is my favorite music shop in Asheville. They have a wide selection of instruments, equipment, and accessories. The staff is always friendly and helpful and the prices are fair. Brian was extremely helpful in helping me pick out the perfect Xmas gift for my partner. 10/10 experience all around and sure to be my go to for music shops in town.

Looking to pick the guitar back up after twenty years, I did some shopping around. Just needed something simple and basic I started at pawn shops looking for a $100 acoustic guitar. I did find a couple at a couple different places, but I decided to check out the actual music shops as well. Finding my way to Musicians Workshop, I walked in slightly overwhelmed with the amazing selection, but everything seemed a bit too pricey, just enough for my learn on guitar. Until I found this 3/4 size Ibanez kit with a case and tuner. I decided to purchase it, the guys at the counter, both very helpful. The one guy pulled it out of the box and started tuning it, then realized that the neck needed some adjusting, he adjusted it and then wasnt overall happy with the action and asked me to grab another of the same guitar. He went over the same inspection of this one, got it perfectly tuned and tuned up. Ended up spending about $140 on the whole thing (BRAND NEW).The point of this review is that I could have gone to another place, bought a guitar and walked out with a smile not knowing the AMAZING service I would have gotten at this place. I recommend this shop to anyone looking for a great experience.

Stopped by to check out the new Taylor V-Class guitars while on a visit to Asheville. They have a great selection and a great room to play them in. Shane was friendly, helpful and well informed. If I lived in Asheville, this would be my first choice for guitar gear.

This has become my go to guitar shop in Asheville. I feel like the staff are my buddies and I can walk in and trade stories and learn about gear. Ive made every music purchase at MW since moving here and will wait until they have what I need in stock because they have earned all of my business.

Good lord, these guys could give 2 shites about you or what you would like to buy! Where to start? Im interested in a uke for my daughter... Here let me show you how good I can play it because Im a musician. Wasnt that a great riff? Im not going to tell you anything about the different makes or anything.Hi, Can you you help me with a case for my guitar? Sure... be right back. 10 minutes later.....OK, guess not.Look, I get it. Hard to find good help but jeez- these kids are clueless. Do they even take employee training?I hate the big box guitar center but its beginning to look like a viable alternative. Sad.

Folks in there are knowledgeable and polite. I bought a guitar from them and they gave me a free setup which is nice. They have a well stocked pedal case full of awesome Electro-Harmonix pedals. I live in Asheville so I visit them often. Give them a shot they are a good business.

This music shop has a wide selection of acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. Also have a good selection of banjos, ukeleles, mandolins, drums, amps, and steroes. They are very helpful here and arent pushy about buying instruments. They also do repairs and change strings. The man who changed mine did it in the less than ten minutes. If you are going to guitar center consider Musicians Workshop to sopport local business with just as good quality.
