Default Quick Question re local music store

A quick question to our fellow musicians:

Is there a quality retail/wholesale music store in or near TV? Looking for one that sells and services guitars, bass, keyboard, PA, live sound, recording... etc.

We are making our permanent move to Lake Deaton first week in September and am trying to get the lay of the land.

Thanks!

Judging by the fact that we had 73 views and not 1 response, my guess it that we do NOT have a good quality local music store!

Oh well, it's not like I don't have time to search...

Try a Google search for Ocala.

I Second Bondz for a look, they are a small local business, been here a long time and has a good reputation. Always friendly, drop in and see their shop and ask questions. If you are looking for high end music supplies, Ocala and Orlando good choices.

You could give Leesburg Music, https://www.facebook.com/LeesburgMusic, a try, they are good people and store.

Try calling Guitar Center in Ocala, just off 75. They may do repairs/service there, as they have all types of instruments there.

Sound Exchange II in Ocala is by far the best music store in the area. In fact they are one of the finest music stores I've ever been in.

Jhony and his staff are knowledgeable caring people who are always willing to give the best personal service. They have an inventory that rivals any of the big box retailers. If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll get it for you or help you find an equivalent.

I can't say enough about these guys. I wish they would move the store about 30 miles to the southeast.

I live just outside of TV in Fruitland Park, and I just found Leesburg Guitars and music. Not a huge store but owner Josh is nice guy and gave me a good deal on a used guitar I didn't need but wanted!
