I bought 2 amazing guitars there I am very happy and the staff is absolutely fantastic! That’s my favorite store! Great quality and great supportThe best guitar shop ever

Great selection of instruments to look at and out for demonstration. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I will definitely return here and recommend it highly

Past, present and FUTURE MUSIC ROCKS!!!! A ZEN MASTER RESIDES WITHIN THE ONE KNOWN AS JACKKNOWLEDGE & LOVE RULES!!!HIS NAME IS JACK PAULSON! IN UNCHARTED WATERS 💪🤟🎵🎶🧞‍♀️🧠🤯

Great place if you want terrible customer service! The owner is rude and disrespectful. He knows his stuff in regards to gear but could use a lesson or two in customer service.

Found this shop today while traveling through the area from out of state. Lots of treasures in this shop from vintage to newish. The guys were great to deal with and cut me a really fair deal on a rare bass that I was happy and surprised to find. I will definitely come back when coming through the LA area.

Great music shop, super helpful, knowledgeable and all around good folks. Constantly have cool stuff coming through the store definitely check it out

The best music store in LASmall but impeccably curated collection of instruments and gearGreat conversation and laughs, many laughs

I took my guitar in to resoder my pick ups. The dude there said it would be about 15 bucks. I come back a week later and the bill was 120 dollars. The guitar tech took it upon himself to fix the other problems sure he fixed some stuff but honestly its giving me some problems right now and I broke a string the same day i got i back. But come on its like going to the mechanic for an oil change and the guy goes oh you needed a new engine so I decided to fix it all up for you, thatll be 2000 dollars I wish they wouldve called me first and tell me whats up. Really wasnt cool

Ive dealt with this place for years and they are a big resource for myself as well as many musicians in Los Angeles (and even many overseas!). Whether it is small effects pedals, drum machines, guitars, mixers, repairs, ADVICE or inspiration- this place is really good. As a bonus, the owner is an actual professional musician and lives locally in the neighborhood. Solid!

My go to for big purchases. Really helpful staff always willing to make a deal.

Started taking lessons with Ms. Emily a couple of months ago and shes been great with my son. He enjoys going to piano lessons every week and always comes out of his lesson with a smile. During his practice, I can also hear him getting better every week.

Great selection of used vintage gear. Everything priced to move for the working musician. Down to earth staff meets you where youre at.

This place is awesome! Go to Greg for your guitar work needs (from re-stringing to major issues)! My pal also brings his bass to Greg when it needs some love.

This place is fun.People nice.Work good.Nice feeling prices.Will help you just becauseAnd there’s no price for that...There’s hope for all of usat Future Music!

Future Music is the Best Music Store in Los Angeles! I know every music store in town, Guitar Center, Sam Ash, in Hollywood are good, but for Personal Attention, FUTURE MUSIC in Highland Park is one of the Finest in the Industry! JIMI JAM

Basically got a setup, restring and filed nut at no charge, even threw some picks my way. Sold for life! Greg thank you so much, I shall return for all my guitar needs! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🎸

Future Music and Jack Waterson are two of the greatest gems in the Los Angeles music community. Ive been a customer since his shops in Hollywood. I always choose Future Music first. Whatever it is I might be looking for or the staff always has the right answer. LONG LIVE FUTURE MUSIC!

Future Music cares about getting the right gear to the right person. Always helpful. I have bought drums, cymbals, guitars and amps here. I always leave knowing more than when I entered and have always been completely happy with my purchases.

Went to get a pedal fixed. It was something super simple l.5 min in and out and he refused to take my money. Bringing all my stuff here!

This is my favorite music store. Theyre very friendly and into talking, and if you know what youre into or need advice I cant think of a better spot. Jack, the owner, took the time to open up my amp and diagnose a problem free of charge as a welcome to the neighborhood, and all of their techs are fantastic. I take my guitars in before every run of shows, and they helped recommend a better (and cheaper) custom electronics upgrade for my telecaster than what I thought I wanted. Super good for vintage pedals and synths and amps and stuff too. Definitely a specialty shop - dont go there to buy strings and a tuner or a new squier with a practice amp. But for going deep, its my favorite place in town.

Great store with tons of vintage gear. Ive purchased several guitars, keyboards and amps here and am very satisfied. They also repaired my 30 year-old MS-20! As for the complaints about nothing being plugged in and they wont let you test anything before buying, thats bullsh¡t. You just need to ask.

Great..service.So I have a problem whit the fret guitarAlvares guitar me grandson wants too Lear but as always damageNice playing guitarSo I took the guitar in.To fixIn days it was fix .And the price was Blow me awaySo affordable.Super super thanks toJASON..saraco.exelent jobAnd to all the bestCustomer serviceThanks for all you helpHighly recommend..

Neat shop with old equipment. lots of older dirty gear; theyre willing to wipe it down, but not clean and repair. Nothing plugged in for testing. Some of the equipment is priced and the rest you have to ask.

Jack is good people. Knowledgable, honest, down to earth staff, and always good stuff in store. Hard to leave empty handed. Ive never done it.

Friendly people who know their stuff and have reasonable prices.Also, Boomer kills it on keyboard repairs. Fast turn around, great rate, and everything sounds good now.

Jason sarraco is the man! Helped mod my guitar and was great to work with. Highly recommend.

This is a weird spot, theres some pretty rare oddities and unique items that are fun to see in person if youre into vintage synths/audio equipment. The problem is the prices are absolutely outrageous (well above market price) and the synths are not nearly in good enough condition to justify it. The space is incredibly disorganized and messy, so I wouldnt recommend it for someone who wants a more professional environment. Its a fun showroom, but not much more.

The kind of place I used to hang out in -- a pimply teenager, dreaming of rock stardom

I love this place! Gave my guitar TLC there and despite my short turnaround request was completely satisfied with how it came out.

Always a great experience with Jack and all the guys who work there thank you guys

Beaut old shop for second hand keys and tars. Staff got a comprehensh knowledge of both the gear an the scene. Repair shop seemed legit too. Respect

Bought there 2nd hand guitar pedal, good prices!

Very helpful staff and the cutest dogs you ever saw.

Good selection of vinyl, good music on the speakers as you amble round the store diggin

Pro advice from a string-man who has been on the front lines of both live and recorded performance, personally dealing with all the many demands placed on the professional performing artist, These guys want to help you develop and practice your art, and they know what its like on the road and in the studio. Jack blows me away with his photographic memory and knowledge of obscure but cool gear. He knew my Japanese Strat was an 89 with one look at the front of the guitar and no serial number or other designations on the headstock. If they dont have it they know where to get it! Their luthier, Greg Coates, also appears to be at the top of his game, opening my eyes to better ways of achieving a perfect setup than simply leveling frets. This is my new one-stop music store - great to have them on the east side!

Great selection, pretty lousy service. Half of the stuff in the shop is broken, none of it is plugged in (despite it being 90% keyboards and synthesizers), so good luck trying something before you buy it. They have a nice selection of used gizmos and gadgets though, and I assume the proprietor is nicer if you need something fixed or come in the store with $5k to drop on a vintage moog.

The nicest dudes who carry some awesome gear

Friendly

My favorite shop in LA.

Seatbelts

Satisfying

This place sucks!

Go Generals!!!!

Future music rules!!!
