Good ole starving Musician...what can i say. Gone are the good old days of aggressive wheeling and dealing like its former occupant Union Grove music. The staff is nice and the vibe is chill. The inventory is severely lacking its not their fault tho. With covid and Amazon its almost impossible to compete. I am glad Starving musician is there as its a last reminder that was once was

I've recently moved close to Santa cruz and needed some stuff for my guitar. There are few great music stores in Santa Cruz but I came to starving musicians. They are in downtown SC and parking is easy. They have a great selection of instruments, specially electric guitars. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. Prices are also fair. Definitely recommend this place.

I am having a nut and saddle replacement put in my classical guitar. I've always gotten excellent treatment, products and services from the guys that work at Starving Musician and a great time turnaround for repairs. I wouldn't take my guitar anywhere else. 🎶🎵🎸🎶

My electric keyboard needs fixing. When I hit a key it plays, but the tone stays, slowly fades away so pretty soon I have a cacophony of sound I was punching buttons for different options and that's when it started. Can it be fixed? Where?

Bring it on in and we can take a look at it, we have a few referrals to people locally that do keyboard repair.

Are you open on Sundays?

We have Mics, and normally a good selection of audio computer interfaces. Right now due to high demand, we only have a 4-channel interface for $299. Thank you - Vernon, GM
