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.

IMO the staff there is pretty rude, they don't like to talk to you much, and are quite cliquey lol. so lose a star for that but like everyone else I'm astounded at the music selection here. I've even found random-ares CD's that I haven't seen/thought about in years and was like "Oh, I remember this CD!!! I must rebuy it! Especially at that price!!!"

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 it's 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 would've called me first and tell me what's up. Really wasn't cool

Iv'e 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!

Started taking lessons with Ms. Emily a couple of months ago and she's 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.

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.

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

Future Music and Jack Waterson are two of the greatest gems in the Los Angeles music community. I've 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!

This is my favorite music store. They're very friendly and into talking, and if you know what you're into or need advice I can't 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 - don't go there to buy strings and a tuner or a new squier with a practice amp. But for going deep, it's my favorite place in town.

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.

Great store with tons of vintage gear. I've 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 won't let you test anything before buying, that's bullsh¡t. You just need to ask.

This is a weird spot, there's some pretty rare oddities and unique items that are fun to see in person if you're 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 wouldn't recommend it for someone who wants a more professional environment. It's a fun showroom, but not much more.

Neat shop with old equipment. lots of older dirty gear; they're 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.

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 it's 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 don't 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.
