Prof Erny’s Music Co has been serving Lafayette’s musical community as an “OG style” music store that combines old-school service with comprehensive instrument repair capabilities. The shop’s on-site repair facility handles everything from guitar setups and fretwork to complete restorations, with experienced techs who work on guitars, basses, and folk instruments alongside their robust orchestra and school band instrument support.

What sets this Lafayette institution apart is their commitment to repairing instruments from any brand, not just what they sell. Their luthier services extend across stringed instruments, while their knowledgeable staff approaches each guitar repair with the same personable attention that’s earned them a loyal following in Cajun Country. The repair shop tackles the technical work musicians need‚from basic setups to more complex fretwork‚ensuring instruments stay performance-ready for stage, studio, or rehearsal.

Beyond repairs, Prof Erny’s maintains an eclectic inventory of hard-to-find gear and accessories, reflecting their philosophy of seeking out “the obscure, weird, fun and overall COOL items” that other stores overlook. Their guitar techs also provide guidance when repairs require specialized factory service, helping musicians find solutions even when work falls outside their scope.
