Testimonials

On 7/17/2026 Ben Drexel had this to say:
I found Tobias through a google search for a hard to find guitar that they had in stock. I called and was greeted by Paul, who immediately knew what I was asking for and got me a great deal! I paid over the phone, they did a great job of packing up the guitar very quickly and extremely well, and I couldn’t be happier. Though I’m not local to the area, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from here again with the great pricing and fantastic customer service!

On 7/13/2026 Dave Davis had this to say:
Very nice people. It’s a great place to do business with especially when you’re buying a high-end guitar as I did they gave me a very good price and they took care of me service after the sale. Would highly recommend Tobias guitars

Found a beautiful builder edition Taylor 324 CE on reverb at Tobias, good price,had it within two days of placing the order. It was packaged like a Ming vase, and appeared exactly as described and shown in the advertisement photos. Very pleased, I would purchase again from them without hesitation

Stopped in on a whim and very glad I did. Great store full of quality instruments that they're enthusiastic and knowledgeable about. It struck me as a true family business. Got this sweet little parlor, too
