    Hello music lovers,
    As we know buying instruments or anything expensive on-line is very difficult and risky. Being in the military and moving around a lot, it doesn't give me the chance to go to my favorite stores or finding the best deal possible. The reason I'm writing this review is because AUSTIN BAZAAR is truly an exception and amazing. I am not going to mention a specific name because they are all great and knowledgeable. They have high standards and most importantly they stand by it and keep their promises.
    I was looking for an ESP electric guitar Eclipse AHB (handmade in Japan) and I was not able to find one untouched and brand new in box. I called a local music store in San Francisco and they said they have one and when I walked into the store, it was a 2006 model hanging on the wall!!! Then I found AUSTIN BAZAAR on eBay and Amazon.
    Found their website and gave them a call and I told them that I am picky with my gear and I also want the best deal. When it came to price, the matched it with the lowest one available (it should be authorized dealer price). Then they got me a brand new one directly from ESP Company in 4 days and it was shipped to me immediately! Do your home work and then give them a call. If you know what you want, they deliver... they carry most of the major brands and they are honest people.
    Thank you so much for the great deal...

    This place was incredible! Aside from having a very clean and organized front room, they have 30,000 square feet of stuff in the back! They sell online, so their inventory is absolutely huge, and the best part is that when silly people on Amazon return things and they can't be sold again online, Austin Bazaar sells them for a THIRD of the online price! We bought a Yamaha C40 acoustic guitar for $49, a Zoom H1 for $30, and a wall mount for the guitar for $10!  Those prices are unreal!

    The place just opened, so it's not complete quite yet, but soon it will have computers at which you can check their inventory in the back for whatever you might be looking for.

    The whole place was great! Definitely worth the drive! We will be back there for sure!

    Okay guitar selection for mostly beginner guitarists.   Nothing to really stir up my passions, just reasonably good stuff at reasonable prices.  Good, clean store, friendly people.  3 stars no better no worse.

A fast-growing online retailer of musical instruments that recently opened its first brick-and-mortar retail space, Austin Bazaar is family owned and operated in the Live Music Capital of the World.

Proud to be Austin's newest music store, Austin Bazaar prides itself on vast selection and rock-bottom prices -- two key benefits to being an online retail giant -- as well as knowledgeable and caring customer service.

History

Established in 2005

Founded in 2005, Austin Bazaar is a family-run business that steadily grew over time. Founders Suman and Seetha Singh initially ran the company out of their home, but once their inventory began to overtake their garage, they moved the business to a warehouse, then another warehouse, then a bunch of warehouses. In 2010, Austin Bazaar moved to its present location on Howard Lane in North Austin. The company's flagship warehouse was built first, and then a brick-and-mortar storefront was opened to complement Austin Bazaar's e-commerce operation.

Meet the Business Owner: Suman S.

Prior to founding Austin Bazaar with his wife, Suman Singh studied at The University of Texas and worked at Dell.
