Wonderful music store located in beautiful historic downtown Searcy. You can spend hours checking out their outstanding selections of quality instruments at great prices. Lessons offered as well. Knowledgeable and friendly staff always make you feel at home here and love talking and playing music! Go check it out!

Got my first guitar here! They have an incredible selection of stringed instruments, keyboards and drums. The workers here are extremely welcoming and kind, and they have DOGS!! This is the perfect place if you want to become a musician, and their prices are great.

A+ Experience. Bobby and Becky run a great business. You'll be greeted with a smile and usually by name. It's kind of like "Cheers".

Wow, Quattlebaum Music Center in Searcy Arkansas is an awesome guitar shop! It has a cool vibe and the people are cool AF too. You can tell the place has soul the second you walk in! Itā€™s not very bigā€¦ As a matter fact, it is down right cozy, but by looking at the guitars and memorabilia on the wall you can tell that the place has seen some musical history. When I walked in, the owner was helping somebody put together a cab and head set up to gig withā€¦ then they turned it up and started to jamā€¦so that was cool to see! Then I met Jack, the Shop dogā€¦ He was cool too! Quattlebaum has a good selection of everything that a guitarist would need. It has a wide range of electric and acoustic guitars, and all of the accessories you would ever need. It even has some used gear. For example they had a consignment 2003 FenderTeleacoustic that was priced a hundred bucks lower than any other Teleacoustic I could find on the web. In the end, I didnā€™t buy a guitar, because I already have too many. But I did buy strings, a tuner and some Star picks (because if we do not support our local guitar shops, they will all closeā€¦ And that would suck). Oh, yeah, they have some drums too, but I didnā€™t go upstairs to look at them!Overall I loved the place. Quattlebaum Music Center has a good selection, the prices are very reasonable the people are cool, and I will be back!! Cheers šŸ¤˜šŸ»

Bobby was so nice and so helpful with our purchase of a New Fender guitar. I recommend Quattlebaum Music to everyone and remember he can order anything he has a dealership keep business at our home town.

We moved from KC. Very surprised to find such top notch people. They are friendly and knowledgeable, the owner has taught at the college. My son wants to be a music major. I have no doubt that they can get him ready for success.

I absolutely love this place. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. Awesome place to get instruments, accessories and lessons as well as an awesome overall experience with the friendliness of the staff. I've been a repeat customer since we had to buy tapes in 1986. šŸ˜†

This locally owned music store has been around my whole life. If they don't have it they will order it for you. You are not just a fast buck to them. They have forged long lasting relationships with their customers who like us, continue to come back for years and years. They take time with their customers and answer questions and are very knowledgeable. You wont find a better music store in Central Arkansas.

I've purchased things from here before, but today, I felt as though my business was not wanted. I took a violin in due to having issues tuning it and the bridge popping off. Was told what I need to do. Told them thank you and asked my daughter if she wanted to look around. Was told to have a nice day. Was not asked if I needed help with anything else. Employee just walked away

Excellence in customer service. Staff is very approachable, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about products they carry, if they don't know they find out for ya. Best thing is, that they are musicians also so they understand and know what u are trying to explain even when u don't. Lol. Prices aren't that bad ether. Could be lower, but could be higher also like other Star music stores.

I always go in here to jam or to try out new gear Bobby is a great guy and a great salesperson and musician. Very friendly staff and they know what they're talking about. I've always done my music business with them

Very cool place in Searcy. Has a nice vibe... They had plenty of different affordable musical instruments... even cellos and a baby grand piano. I could hang out there all day but I'd want to buy everything and I'd go broke...

In town for a radio station visit and had some time to kill, went for a stroll and stumbled across Quattlebaum Music. As soon as we walked in, we saw an awesome selection of new and used equipment. Paige was really sweet and told us about the history of the shop, as it's been in the family for about 50 years! As we browsed around, Greg and Bobby introduced themselves and brought out some amazing vintage guitars for us to check out! Sooo cool! Talk about a local store with awesome staff who truly care about what they are doing and offer amazing customer service. I don't think it gets much better than that!Highly recommend stopping in and we will be back to visit next time we roll through!

Took a second hand guitar in, I had bought online, for setup. Got new strings, adjusted neck truss and bridge done for a very affordable price. Super friendly people and great location in old historic Searcy. Bobby plugged my guitar in and played some riffs on it. The whole experience was fun and worth a lot to me. For sure going back for all my guitar needs.

Everything about this store and it's people are incredible. Greg Geroy has tons of experience and knowledge about the business. He has helped our business with our sound and equipment needs and always provides professional service and reasonable rates. His staff is friendly and equally knowledgable. Do yourself a favor and check out this awesome business!

The staff are friendly, the products seem pretty good, and it's generally a good place to fulfill your guitar-based needs. They also sell things beyond guitars, like music books for brass, percussion, woodwind, and other string instruments, which would definitely be helpful to anyone looking to learn. From my experience, don't be afraid to ask seemingly stupid questions; Quattlebaum is a safe place for a beginner to reveal their lack of knowledge.

Asked for a used guitar case and they brought out two ..one being the one my best friend LOVED! The energized and positive guy that works there was great!

Quattlebaum Music Center is such a great place. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and instructors. Our family purchased several instruments from them. We tried shopping at Guitar Center because of all the hype. They could not beat the selection or prices we found at Quattlebaum.

Quattlebaum Music Center in Searcy, AR, has friendly, knowledgeable staff working there. If they don't know something about a feature on the instrument, they will do all they can to find the solution. We had a great experience while there buying the right keyboard for our church. Great Christian environment. You will leave satisfied. Thank you to all the staff for your help!

Under new management, Bobby Wright is blazing new trails at Quattlebaum Music for Searcy Arkansas in both sales, service and repair. The best selection of stringed instruments and pianos in central Arkansas, as well as a great selection of kits and accessories for drummers. Need PA or DJ gear? At Quattlebaum's music you will find a great selection of live sound equipment to fit all of your public address needs. Drop by today, you won't be disappointed.

Small, quiet, local run music store. Good prices and owned by a knowledgeable friendly man who is happy to answer your questions. I'll definitely be returning.

I've been taking guitar lessons at Quattlebaum's for nearly a year now, and this place has always been my one-stop music store. Everyone there is so professional and friendly. Have a question about anything? They have the answer. Fair prices, no scams. It's rare to find a store that has as much commitment as Quattlebaum Music does. Plus, it's in a beautiful building in a beautiful location. Guitar Center's got nothing on Quattlebaum's
