West Plains Music has been serving the Ozarks since 1946, making it one of the region’s longest-standing music instrument retailers. Located on the historic downtown square in West Plains, Missouri, this hometown shop carries a wide range of acoustic and electric instruments from respected brands like Martin, Gibson, Fender, Epiphone, and many others, along with professional audio gear from Roland, Peavey, Shure, and more.

Beyond retail, West Plains Music has repair technicians on staff who handle instrument repair across multiple categories, including guitar repair, amplifier repair, and band instrument service. The shop takes a “we service what we sell” approach, meaning customers can bring in their stringed instruments, band instruments, and amps for hands-on attention from experienced techs. For guitarists dealing with a malfunctioning amp or an electric guitar in need of a skilled guitar tech, this is a full-service option backed by decades of community presence.

West Plains Music also supports local school band programs and the broader regional music community, reinforcing its reputation as a dependable, locally rooted resource for musicians throughout the Ozarks.
