Music stores in California

Pick your town

Music stores help you find instruments, gear and lessons for playing, recording or simply enjoying music. Many of the businesses listed here offer acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitars, guitar amps, drum kits and synthesizers, and some also rent instruments, offer music lessons or sell vinyl records and dance music. In California, you will find listings in towns such as Carmichael, Petaluma, Redondo Beach, San Mateo, San Pedro and Simi Valley. Before you visit, call ahead to confirm that the store carries the brand or model you want and whether it has the instrument available to try. If you are a beginner, ask whether the store offers rentals or lessons, since that can save you from buying equipment before you know what suits you.
