Will West Music & Sound

Had a great experience at Will West! They let me in the door before the store had even opened and got my guitar restrung, tuned and polished all in a very timely manner! Looks and sounds great now! Will definitely be returning for future guitar needs!

Stopped in yesterday for the first time with my pre-teen interested in checking out electric guitars.

I didn't expect much from the staff since it was 30 minutes before closing... but the owner greeted us when we walked in (looking lost) & I could not have been more impressed!

He was friendly & helpful, dealt with my moody & difficult child like a pro, and answered all my questions & more.

My experience at this music store was completely different than my experience at every other similar place in town. This is the only music store you need in JC...friendly, knowledgeable, & helpful staff along with a huge selection of instruments & accessories at a wide range of prices.

Thank you!

What are your musical needs? Instruments? Accessories? Repair work? Will West is your one-stop! From experience I've purchased guitars, a uke, strings, picks, and had repair work done on a guitar. Will and his staff are always courteous, friendly, and willing to help. So happy to have such an awesome music store right on the Boulevard!

Just bought a Martin LXK2 Little Martin Acoustic Guitar Will help me decide between a few different ones .Awesome selection and great prices . Thanks Will ...

I just went in there to see what they thought of my Eastwood Airline 3 pu dlxe. I met with Jeff and Will and I had a good conversation with Will . I found it to be a very good experience. I would shop here regardless of others experiences. I based this rating at face value. Nice guitar store setup. Easy to browse and find what you want staff was great.

Rocky was like a little kid in a candy store! It's a great store lots of choices and they let you play the instrument for a bit. Very nice staff

I bought an Ovation custom legend guitar from them through Reverb. I contacted the shop for additional information before making the purchase, and all the staffs I encountered were extremely friendly and courteous. Overall, a fantastic 10/10 shopping experience. Special thanks to Dillon, Justin, and William.

Purchased a taylor gs mini today!! Store is an hour and half away from me. Store employee was very knowledgeable. He didn't try to oversell. Even though I had a good size budget, he found a mid-range guitar that was better suited to my needs. Highly recommend . Next time I'm in jeff I'll be stopping in again

This store has the best selection and the most knowledgeable staff of any brick-and-mortar store in Missouri. If you need something they don't keep in stock, they can order it for you. If you have a problem, they'll work with you. I've personally watched Will West himself bend over backwards to make sure he keeps his customers happy, and I always make sure to stop by to say hello whenever I'm in the area. The prices in that store are as low as the bad guys' online, and they'll give you the best value for any trades.

Also, everyone on staff is a professional entertainer, and a shameful music geek! A great bunch of guys. My favorite section is their wall of DJ lights and lasers. Awesome:)

Good prices and a knowledgeable staff always ready to help with something. Repair and customizing work is very reasonable, too, and they stayed past closing a few minutes when I called ahead with a minor emergency. Best guitar shop in mid-Missouri

My experience at Will West Music has always been very positive. From the first time I walked into the store to buy strings 10 years ago to the many guitars I've purchased up to the very present. WIll and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about their inventory and it's vast!! It has to be the largest selection in the Mid-Missouri area! Fair prices and customer service after- the- sale are very important to me and they do an excellent job in both of these areas. Plus, all of them are accomplished musicians too, so they can answer ANY question you may have about equipment, set-up, lighting, sound, etc. Great store and a MUST SEE if you are in the area.

I rarely write online reviews, but my experience in Will West Music yesterday was so positive I felt compelled to write a review. I came in need of several accessories for a mic I had just bought. I could hardly believe how helpful the customer service was, to help me get what I was looking for and what would work for me. I'm bringing my future audio/video business here and am already recommending it to friends and family!

I bought my first guitar in about 4 years here and it is also my first strat. I can say I have never had a more pleasant shopping experience in a music store and I can't wait to buy my next piece of gear from them.

Decided to purchase a new acoustic, walked in to Will West expecting to see a selection of about 7 guitars like usual. Then I was introduced to their DEDICATED ROOM to acoustic guitars and I fell in love. Had to be about 40 top quality instruments, Martins, Taylors, Gibsons, you name it. No sales pressure, got to spend some good time with the owner, and found a unique guitar that was perfect. This is the place to buy, good prices, fair folks, and will do business with them for the rest of my days.

I recently started playing guitar and I think Will West is the best!!!! Very helpful and friendly and answers all of my questions. ( and believe me, I have a lot ) Contrary to what other people have said about Will himself being conceited, a jerk, or pushy etc., I completely DISAGREE. Ive been here a dozen times in the last month or so and I've never once caught that vibe from him! If you need anything instrument/music wise this is the ONLY PLACE TO GO!!!!

Called ahead, product was ready when I got there. Quick and easy.

Cool shop! Just had Lewis intonate my schecter and he was nice enough to do it when I caught him last second! Wish I lived here to give them more business!

I love Will West Music! I've met Will several times and it has always been a great experience. He's very knowledgeable and so are his employees. Always helpful! One of my favorite buys there is my Taylor 114ce. Bought it from there 7 years ago and had to take it in once this year to fix an issue with the pickup inside. Had no issues working with them to get this taken care of.

Update: My 9 year old just bought his first guitar from Will West! Another great experience. Once again, the staff was super friendly and very helpful. Thank you!

Will West and staff support The Healing Box Project, giving guitars and lessons to disabled Veterans. Always helpful and knowledgeable about instruments and equipment. The selection of guitars and amplifiers is impressive.

Went there and bought a Peavey PowerSlide. I found Will to be very nice and he even showed me a vintage lap steel in his collection. I would highly recommend Will West Music and Sound for your musical needs.
