Penn Avenue Music

Great small business to spend your cash at. The employees are laid back and would answer any questions you may have. My wife ended up purchasing a new 6 string electric, and the older gentleman who I assumed was the owner threw in a free strap for the guitar. Nice people, and the shop did not disappoint. If you need some new gear check out the reasonable prices here.

Called ahead of time to fix an issue with my guitar and was attended quickly by friendly staff. My guitar works fine now, would definitely go back!

Dropped by today to make contact with new owner and see current merchandise. Very bright, clean, and organized. It's nice to see the place still up and running!

I am SO happy we came here. My guitar wasnt playing right and they told us to bring it in and they can check it out today. We went home, got it, brought it in and they worked on it right away. Even put new strings and new pins on that I was already buying from their store. The owner and the guitar tech are so chill and knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. I will most definitely be coming back here for any of my guitar needs!

Went in to get my Mom’s 12 string restrung, browsed around the store and found an epiphone SG standard in mint condition! Very butter-y and sounds amazing! The exact same guitar I have looked for for a long time! Talked with the owner Mark, and we were able to work out a deal both of us came out on top with! Great guy and cool store! Those in need of seagull and Schecter guitars this is the best place for it with plenty of different options! Quality guitars you’d expect from a corporate store with the personal flair of a small buisness! Definitely will be back in the future!

Great customer service! Went in there looking for a beginner guitar for my step daughter and was greeted by a friendly and very informed associate. He covered all the bases and made sure I was confident with my purchase! Will definitely return to see Judd and their awesome selection!

I have been here several times - mostly for strings but also had a neck strap button installed. The staff is always very nice and helpful. I had Beth do a setup on my Telecaster and liked it so much I just had her do my Martin. Awesome work!

I can’t say enough about the awesome customer service I received from Penn Avenue Music. One of the best hidden gems I’ve come across since moving to the Reading area. Needless to say this is my go to store for all my guitar needs, and I’m proud to support local. Also, I highly recommend Beth for guitar set ups!

Walked in a few weeks back to inquire about drum lessons for my 8 year old son. Store manager (Zack) was super friendly and put me in touch with their drum instructor. Scheduled my son's first lesson last night and arrived early so we had time to check out the store. Everyone was super welcoming and friendly to my son and his instructor, Shane, made him feel super comfortable. He had a blast and looks forward to continuing his lessons. Highly recommend them for all your music needs!

Received amazing service, and while not expecting it, a minor repair was performed on my banjo for free! The guy who helped me was incredibly knowledgeable, and really made me feel like he valued me as a customer. I learned more about my Banjo in this trip than the jokers at Guitar center were able to teach me and left with some really affordable gear!

Have been buying all of my gear from this music store for many years. Great place to get guitars fixed. Great knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

I absolutely depend on Mark, Kathy, and Beth for all my band/guitar/singing stuff. They rock. They are great people who will work with you to get what you need. Music lessons, gear rental, guitar sales, drum accessory sales, all kinds of stuff. The best!

Penn Ave Music has a wonderful staff full of knowledge. Kathy is a wonderful owner and all around awesome person. I've taken many guitars there and Beth has worked on them all from my 1951 gretch 1965 gibson sg and many more. i will not let anyone touch my guitars except Beth. They are a awesome Co. and will go the extra mile to get what you need at a very reasonable price. I give them 100out of100..................

I've played guitar for 25 years. I've had several setups and repairs through the years. Beth was referred to me, and I was thrilled. The best setup and service I've ever gotten. Very happy.

Best music store I've gone to by far. It's cozy, homie, great staff, lots of variety and above all they get the job done. Need to fix your beloved instruments, this is the place you can trust.

Very helpful staff, we've gone there for mics and equipment for our theater group for years now. Super helpful any time we've needed anything or had a problem with anything!! I highly recommend them!!

This is the best local music store in Berks County. It is worth the trip and has excellent, knowledgeable staff. Good prices and honest salesmanship.

Awesome staff that are knowledgeable & friendly. They go the extra distance to help you out with whatever you might need. A great example of why to avoid the chain stores and support local business.

Awesome store. Nice selection and owners are very nice and knowledgeable. You can try out an instrument or they can show you how it works and sounds.

goldmine for guitar players interested in the heavier music genre. loved my first visit
