About Us – Coleman's Music

Founded in 1989, Coleman's Music is a family-owned Melbourne music store that has grown into a trusted name for musicians across Victoria and Australia. Our journey began with a humble organ shop in Cranbourne, but over the years, we have evolved into a premier destination for both beginner guitarists and seasoned professionals. Whether you’re picking up your first guitar or adding a high-end, boutique instrument to your collection, Coleman’s Music is here to provide expert guidance and top-tier products that cater to every player and every level.

Your Go-To Guitar Destination

At Coleman's Music, guitars are our passion. We take immense pride in offering a wide selection of electric, acoustic, Guitar Effect Pedals and bass guitars from some of the most iconic and sought-after brands in the world. From the classic Fender Stratocaster to the rich tones of a Taylor Acoustic or the legendary Gibson Les Paul, we stock only the finest instruments to suit every style. Whether you’re after the smooth sound of a Taylor 814ce, the classic rock tones of a Gibson SG, or that Butterscotch Fender Telecaster you have always wanted, we’ve got you covered.

For players seeking something a little more unique, we also carry boutique guitar brands such as Nik Huber and Victory Amps. These handcrafted, high-end instruments and amps are a perfect fit for those wanting to take their sound and style to the next level. These premium brands are for those who understand that an instrument is more than just a tool; it’s a statement.

At Coleman’s Music, we don’t just cater to professionals. We know that every guitarist starts somewhere, which is why we’ve made it our mission to support beginners and those just getting started.

Our team offers tailored recommendations to help you find an instrument that matches your budget and musical aspirations.

From Humble Beginnings to Melbourne’s Guitar Hub

What started as Cranbourne Music over 30 years ago with a modest selection of second-hand gear and a small local music school has grown into one of Melbourne's most trusted guitar-centric music stores. In 2002, we opened our first store in Melbourne's CBD on La Trobe Street, and after relocating to Elizabeth Street in 2017, we made a significant pivot in 2023 to focus on our guitar-centric business.

We proudly offer a curated range of the best guitars, amps, and accessories—tailored to suit every guitarist, from novice to professional. Our evolution into Coleman’s Music in 2021 marked a new chapter, one that honours the legacy of our founder, Michael Coleman, while solidifying our dedication to offering only the best to our loyal customers.

Our Commitment to You

Today, Coleman’s Music remains dedicated to supporting musicians of all kinds—beginner guitarists, hobbyists, and professional musicians alike. With an extensive selection of top brands and boutique options, we make it easy to find the right gear, get expert advice, and create lasting relationships with the musicians who rely on us.
