Music Gear - Independence, Missouri

Jeff Cordray

As a guitar player, I love this store! Everyone there has been very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. As a customer, I have both bought and sold a guitar there and I am more than satisfied with the business we have conducted. They have an excellent selection of guitars, at virtually every price point you could want, from beginner to pro to serious collector. Plenty of amps to choose from as well, although I'm not as familiar with them. As an alternative to the more generic, big box stores, this place can't be beat, imo.

If you're looking for a more personal touch, along with with an outstanding selection of guitars and amps that are not your standard fare, this is the store for you. Not to even mention the style and ambiance of the place! It has a very distinct resonance that any musician will instantly love. I highly recommend checking this place out, I seriously doubt you will be disappointed! ?

Awesome owners, treat customers with respect, knowledgeable and always willing to go the extra mile. Great store with a good variety of equipment. Fantastic deals on gear. I highly recommend you go here before Guitar Center. Local owned and operated no corporate B.S. very professional and fun to staff.

Awesome place to buy or trade music gear Rob and Bert are very knowledgeable on vintage guitars and basses as well as sell new music gear. I have done many happy deals with them throughout the years. They are friendly and fair and treat their customers like family. If you want a friendly fun place to shop that has interesting and vintage items that you won’t find in the “big box store” this is the place to check out!!!

The guy running the place is very nice. He was helpful and friendly. The store was clean and well organized. It had one of everything you would need. They can probably order the things you need that they didn't have. I just needed some picks and a cable so I was in and out. The had some beautiful amps. One was really great. It turned out they built and designed it themselves.

Music Gear on the Independence Square is a treasure. I live an hour away, but today I made a special trip that turned out to be gratifying and productive. Rob and Burt are remarkable people. They take care of their merchandise. They always have some instruments in stock that take my breath away because they are so original. They relate to customers with warmth, respect, and grace. I enthusiastically recommend Music Gear.

The best music store in town! Rob was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had a set up done on my guitar. The service was done ahead of schedule, I truly appreciate the attention to detail and care. Thank you for making my experience great!

I love this place.I now have 5 guitars and 2 amps from there. They have bailed me out more than once by helping at the last moment when equip went down right before a gig. It is a family-owned business but not quite mom and pop these guys know their business they know music and they never try to sell you more than you need go check them out and support of a local business you'll be way more happy than a big box store

I found this nice little music shop in Independence and was pleasantly surprised. Had an old school feel that I was definitely digging. The guys there were friendly and helpful. Love my 'new' Ibanez. Got a decent price and plays very well. When I upgrade, I know where I'll be shopping.
