Aliens and Strangers Music is a different kind of music store. In a world of mass-produced and bulk-shipped mega stores and websites, we are focused completely on your satisfaction.
Although we sell instruments in all price ranges, we specialize in mid-grade instruments from manufacturers like ESP and Schecter – companies renowned for quality-built guitars and basses. But at Aliens and Strangers Music we take customer service to an all-new level with our exclusive Shred Ready™ service.
What is Shred Ready™? Pick up a guitar in any music store or order one from a giant online retailer and you might be ready to shred, but your guitar won’t be. At Aliens And Strangers Music we believe a new instrument should inspire you; not hinder you. That’s why every guitar or bass we sell arrives at your door setup and ready for the stage or just the woodshed.
