I can’t say enough good things about Texas Music Emporium. These guys are down to earth and exceptionally knowledgeable about music and equipment and gear. I’ve been working with Joel who is an amazing guitarist and a terrific guitar teacher. This is my go to spot for any gear, equipment, questions to be answered about anything and all things music related.

Had the pleasure of working with Jim on purchasing my dream guitar. Great communication, and excellent customer service. My guitar was shipped out quickly, and was packed better than expected. The guitar looks way better in person, and was a really positive experience! Highly recommend this shop, appreciate everything Jim!

I have known the owner since 1991 and have bought 3 Fender Bass Guitars, 2 Amps and many accessories over the last 10 years. They have a great inventory, great service on setting up your new or preowned guitars, and hospitality is off the hook! If your in the market to purchase Guitars, Drums or professional grade Audio equipment, this is the best place to go in Houston.

Love this place! Joel helped us and was so informative and amazing to work with! Told us the ins and outs of what we were buying and helped us make our decision on which wonderful instrument to buy. The people who work here are super passionate about what they do and so helpful! Would come back every time!

I love this place. So kind and knowledgeable.

I did a test. Accidental meaning I didn't intend on it but I did it.

Took a recent purchase to TME and another recent purchase to the place on the other side of the freeway. Both for set-up.

TME's "wizard in the booth" spotted issues and told me about them within minutes. Then went through explaining the repairs and solutions.

Place across the street "bip bam boom done" but solved zero issues. As if he had a specific set of things he has to do, no matter what. and nothing outside of that. Kind of paint by numbers procedure.

Guitar handed to TME was beat up and in bad shape. Guitar handed to the other place was less than a month old.

TME cost was a tad more (like 5%) but it came with new parts, and soldering and mild wood repair. plus tops to where I can go for paint fixes and what to ask for. Other place was just strings and lifting and lowering bridge for intonation issues.

End result. TME solved the (much worse) problem and went above and beyond. The place across the street denied any issues at all and swore everything was resolved. When I would strum where the issue is, the store manager cringed, the salesman cringed yet they denied the issue was there at all.

As far as any guitar work, TME is the top of the food chain.

Thanks guys, you're awesome.
