Music lessons make a difference. At Haggerty’s Music, we believe great musicians are not only built from information, but from guidance, encouragement, accountability, and a teacher who understands how to help each student grow. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the very first time, preparing for auditions, joining your school band, or finally learning the songs you've always wanted to play, lessons provide something technology can't replace: a real relationship with a real musician.

Some guitars are built for performance. Others are built to inspire creativity the second you pick them up. The PRS SE Ed Sheeran Signature Hollowbody I Baritone Piezo lives right in the middle of those worlds, blending expressive design, versatile tone, and artistic personality into something genuinely unique.

Now available at Haggerty’s Music, this limited-edition PRS collaboration captures both Ed Sheeran’s songwriting mindset and his off-stage passion for visual art. Limited to just 1,000 pieces worldwide, the “Cosmic Splash” isn’t just another signature guitar, it’s an instrument designed to keep creativity moving.

Making an acoustic guitar that feels alive in your hands and tells its own story is something Santa Cruz Guitar Company has been creating for nearly five decades, building handcrafted boutique guitars built with intention, artistry, and an uncompromising pursuit of tone. At Haggerty’s Music, we’re proud to represent Santa Cruz Guitars: instruments that blend Old World violin-lutherie traditions with modern acoustic science to deliver unmatched balance, resonance, and longevity. These are guitars built not just to be played, but to be handed down.

There’s a difference between a great guitar and a guitar that changes how you play. That line is exactly where the Schecter Guitar Research Custom Shop lives - and it’s why Haggerty’s Music is now proud to offer a curated selection of these instruments.
