First of all - Thank you for all of the phone calls, emails, and support during this crisis. I had mentioned in the beginning, that we will fight through this and our guitar shop will do whatever it takes to get past these difficult times. We will not let 42 years of being in business go down the drain. Together, we we all get through this.

Now that May is upon us, it's time to tweak our business so that we can provide a safe working and shopping environment. For the foreseeable future, our shop will be open on a part time basis, from 12 PM - 6 PM Monday thru Saturday. We will be short staffed and we appreciate your patience as we slowly come back online. We would recommend that you call us first before you head out (630-960-2455). We will have to limit the amount of people in the shop. Face masks are recommended. We are starting to accept guitar repairs again. Please keep in mind that Pops is still staying in his safe place. Both Mom and Pops are doing very well but are exercising extreme caution. Expect some short delays on the repairs. Third Coast Guitar Service is also slowly getting back online. We are accepting guitars and amps earmarked for Third Coast. Also keep in mind that our suppliers have been shut down too. We might not have everything in stock. Our store inventory for guitars and accessories will also slowly improve. Again, phone first. 

We are still a long ways away from ‘Business as Usual’. These are some crazy times. Again, our family appreciates the patience and support. Keeping your family as well as our family safe and healthy is top priority. We will play it safe and move forward sloooowly. Baby steps. Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently, and keep playing your guitar.

Thanks Again, 

The Tobias Music Family
