Absolutely fantastic store! I bought a very special guitar from TNAG (major purchase, almost $20k), and their team made me feel very comfortable and confident through the entire buying process. Generally I'd be hesitant to make such a large purchase online, but their operation is top notch and inspires quite a bit of confidence when spending big bucks on a guitar sight-unseen (of course their generous approval period helps as well).

Their team was incredibly responsive, especially Kim Sherman, and we got the deal done swiftly and enjoyably. Payment terms were excellent, and they were more than understanding when we encountered a slight delay with my bank. The guitar arrived well-packed and in perfect condition, and is a truly extraordinary instrument! Can't say enough good things about TNAG, and based on my wonderful experience with them during this first transaction, they've created a lifelong customer!

Their inventory is remarkable, almost everything they sell is something special, and I'm already looking forward to my next purchase from them (although my fiance has requested I wait a little while to allow my bank account to replenish itself). Next time I'm in Nashville, their showroom will be my first stop.

Extremely knowledgable with excellent servive. Some of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. If you purchase the dragon Breedlove acoustic, you are my new hero!

Great experience! We were in town to visit all the guitar shops and this is a must stop! Great selection of some of the greatest sounding guitars in town. Nick Davison was so kind to us and let us try whatever we wanted and was also VERY knowledgeable. Don't miss this awesome guitar shop!

One of the best variety, choice and range of quality guitars that I have ever seen. Really knowledgable staff can't do enough for you in helping you choose the right instrument for yourself. There is a good reason why they are growing so much and gaining more and more customers - they provide a fantastic service and great deals.

This place had a very nice selection of mandolins and guitars when I went. I played several mandolins of which all we're very unique and high-end at a fair price. I haven't seen too many music stores that had great customer service and such quality instruments to choose from like this one! Definitely drop by if you get a chance.

The atmosphere of this store is magical. Guitars galore to choose from at multiple levels. Filled with light in renovated historic factory. Kim is generous with her time and knows so much you can learn a lot without buying anything.

Over the past several years I've purchased several mandolins from Cotten Music. They've been kind enough to ship them to me if I was out of town, etc, and they've always taken care of my needs. They communicate well. As soon as my son gets out of his pricey daycare in two years I plan on buying a new guitar, hopefully from Cotten! :

My experience here was bad. The woman that works here is disrespectful. Others may have had a different experience but she was condescending and disrespectful towards me. I am a gigging musician in my 40s here in Nashville and was treated like a child. I'll never go back and recommend you shop elsewhere. My 22 yr old son told me he had a similar experience here. Judgmental rude lady at the desk, retail rule #1: treat everyone the same and as if they are your best customer.

Even if you have to fake it. I ended up buying a new acoustic and amp that day at a different store. There are just too many great options here in Nashville to waste your time and money with a place like this. I buy lots of equipment and make weekly runs to various stores in the area. Message me what you need and I'll let you know where else you should spend your hard earned $$$$.

Kim, Rick, and Andrew are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The store has a very unique lineup of mostly acoustic guitars and other acoustic or acoustic/electric/instruments but a handful of carefully selected electric guitars as well. Lessons and repair available as well.
