## About
Haggerty's Music has served musicians from Rapid City, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, since 1963, and is family owned and operated. The store carries a curated selection of boutique guitars, custom guitars, amplifiers, effect pedals, drums, keyboards, band and orchestra instruments, audio and video systems, and accessories from brands including Taylor, Martin, Gibson, PRS, Fender, Yamaha, Suhr, Luxxtone, and many more. Customers can shop online or in-store, and the same staff supports beginners, working professionals, and collectors. The business also operates a certified repair department, a lessons program, instrument rentals, and an audio-visual installation division.


## Summary
We are a full-line music retailer and a boutique guitar specialist, which means our catalog runs from beginner instruments and accessories to rare, custom, and one-off guitars that are often exclusive to Haggerty's. Many high-end guitars are individual instruments photographed as the actual piece for sale, and our sales team also guides players through Taylor, Gibson, and Fender custom-shop orders from start to finish. What rounds out the store is the service side: factory-certified repair for fretted, orchestral, and band instruments, music lessons, band and orchestra rentals, and full audio-visual design and installation. Orders are set up, inspected, and shipped from Rapid City with a risk-free 14-day return window.

## What We Do Not Do

- We are a music store; our catalog centers on instruments, gear, and accessories, plus lessons, rentals, repairs, and audio-visual installation, not general electronics
- Many guitars are individual, one-off instruments where the listing shows the actual guitar for sale, so once a piece sells that exact unit is gone
- Returns are a risk-free 14-day window, not an open-ended return policy
- Free shipping applies to US orders over $100; smaller orders are charged shipping calculated at checkout
