We are proud to receive a
BEST OF WESTCHESTER
award from Westchester Magazine:
"When it comes to music—and especially
musical instruments—knowledge and experience
are important. But passion—well, passion is
paramount. Anyone can string or sell a
guitar, but only a
passionate
musician, like Rock Island Sound owner Paul
Bessolo, a multi-instrumentalist and
genre-spanning guitarist, can help you
“build” your custom axe from body to neck to
strings to pickups. He can help you figure
out which pickups work best (and how they
differ) on which guitars; which electric
guitar is best for hard-rock wailing and
which is best for country twang; the pros
and cons of a Tele versus a Strat, or a
solid body or hollow body; which acoustic is
warm and which is crisp. The store carries a
large selection of new and vintage guitars,
basses, and gear from all major brands,
including Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor,
and Marshall, as well as boutique brands
like Victoria. It sells instruments at
competitive prices, offers lessons in all
instruments, and provides music for events.
It also has a huge range of replacement
parts and does neck resets, crack repairs,
binding, and other work. It rents guitars
and equipment, too." |
