I took my Martin 00028 there for a setup with some preferences noted in the guitar case. They nailed it and it was a quick turn around. Absolutely amazing.

I found a guitar I wanted on their website. I live in a different state so I needed it shipped. From my first phone inquiery to the moment I unpacked it the customer service was phenominal. Will definately buy from them again.

On 10/23/2025 Craig Lakey had this to say:
I highly recommend Tobias Music. Their selection of quality guitars, expertise and customer service is excellent. Though I live in Austin, Paul helped make the buying experience a pleasure and much more than a typical online transaction. I love my new Taylor 724ce Koa and am very happy I discovered Tobias Music!

On 10/14/2025 Gary Flora had this to say:
I recently purchased a D-18 from Tobias Music. It was a great experience. The guitar was exactly as expected. They took the time to set it up appropriately. They were engaged and attentive throughout the process.
