Pony Music organised for a rebuild of my late father’s guitar to pass down to my son. We both love it. The tone is brilliant and it warms my heart when I hear it being played again.

Son wanted an Aqua PRS and Pony stocked the only one in Melbourne. I had read some poor reviews about the quality of the guitar and discussed this with Evan of Pony. He sent me photos of the one in stock and assured me it was in great condition. The service was fantastic and the guitar is amazing.

Assistance, service and friendliness of the team is impeccable. I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Adrian and Evan for helping me out. ( hope I did not muck up the names.) Cheers to Pony Music.

Was very pleased with my experience shopping at Pony Music. Evan gave me a great deal on a beautiful sounding Marshall tube amp. Very friendly service, patient, and let me thoroughly test the unit with my guitar before buying. Cannot recommend the buying experience more highly - a relaxed and friendly service without the hard sell! Well worth the trip. Will happily head to Pony Music again.

This is my local music store so I might be a little bit biased, but this is my favourite music store. The staff are always helpful and know when to offer help and when to let the customer just sit. They often let me just come in and chill in the music store.

Evan from Pony Music...What a Legend! I’ve been chasing a Marshall DSL40C for ages and with no one having stock was unable to get one. I finally found Pony Music and they had stock. Called them up and spoke to Evan. He hooked me up and shipped the amp to Sydney. Ordered Tuesday...Delivered Thursday. If that isn’t speedy service I don’t know what is. I want to thank Evan and can’t recommended Pony Music high enough.
