Darcy and Kim invite you to browse their website and to visit them at the shop whenever you find yourself in Nashville. Over the years, Cotten Music has become known as one of the best places in Nashville (or the country, for that matter) to find the best in small-shop and handmade acoustic guitars. We work to ensure there's a great guitar for every player and every budget. Nashville’s musicians have long depended on Cotten Music for great selection and service, and we want to serve you too--regardless of where you live. Thanks for dropping in to visit, and please come back often....
From any of Nashville's interstates (I-65, I-40 or I-24) to I-440; take I-440 to the Hillsboro Road/21st Avenue exit. Follow the 21st Avenue portion of the exit toward Vanderbilt and Hillsboro Village. When enter the Village, you'll see the shop on your left just past Acklen Avenue (look for the green sign and awning). Parking is available on Acklen Avenue or in the lot behind the shop.
Cotten Music's primary goal is to match the right guitar with the right player, and once this is accomplished, you can pay for your guitar in various ways: Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Cash and checks are also gladly accepted (and appreciated). If payment is to be made by wire transfer, please contact us, and we will provide the information for our bank. Depending on your preference (and order size) we offer shipping by
Priority Cotten Music offers ample approval time (48 hours unless other arrangements are made prior to our shipping) for you to decide if the instrument you've chosen is indeed the right one for you. If it is, great. If it's not, just ship the instrument back to us in the same condition it was in when it left the shop, and we'll gladly exchange it for something else or refund your money. Note: Shipping and insurance charges (both ways) are the customer's responsibility.
To avoid confusion regarding "approval time" on an instrument, however, please note that "approval time" applies only to guitars ordered from within Cotten Music's existing inventory (whether new or used), or on new instruments ordered by Cotten Music which our customer has asked to try "on approval" when the instrument arrives. Special orders are considered SOLD when they arrive, unless other arrangements have been agreed upon by both Cotten Music and the customer. If a custom/special order arrives damaged or with specs that differ from what you ordered, we certainly will not expect you to buy the instrument, and we'll refund your deposit or will gladly exchange the instrument ordered for something else we have in stock.
