Staff is friendly. Selection is very good. I have purchased several instruments from Guitar Center and I am pleased with them all. William does all my repair work he is excellent at his job!
Very friendly and helpful
Nice shop but I like the old store better. This store has no demo room for electric guitars/amps.
Most guitars are not playable which makes me wonder why they’re on display in the first place? Dirty, out of tune in most cases (not even going to bother with lack of proper intonation set up) It’s maybe because of internet-era change, but folks at GC used to know what they’re selling…. these days you get deer in a headlight type of answer when asking for anything else beyond the price that is displayed right by the product. GC needs to review the purpose of its stores vs online shopping…..
Good selection and service. Not priced for the beginner but if you want quality its the best place to go.
Sold me a broken amp, thanks.
Was in town from Tucson to have some fun. Visited the center with every intention of purchasing a $2,000 electronic drum set. Shameful display of their drums along with the fact that not one employee approached me to say hi or ask how they could be of assistance. Maybe they have too much business, but it would have been nice. Left after playing the acoustic kit in the drum room after 15 minutes.
Es la tercera vez que voy y no pienso ir más, no recomendar éste lugar… Por tercera vez se me quedaron viendo de pies a cabeza y cuando saludé me ignoraron. Sí, soy hispanoamericano…. algún problema con eso???
It’s one of the best music school in the valley! High recommend to anyone looking for quality lessons with passionate teachers
Great prices super knowledgeable and friendly staff no wonder they are rated the best every single year
My 17 y/o daughter has been attending weekly acoustic guitar lessons at Music Makers. Besides the dramatic improvement in her abilities, including finger picking, bar chords, and learning several popular songs, she raves about her instructor Mr. Christian. She beams with enthusiasm after each lesson and he has undoubtedly helped her grow artistically and emotionally.
We are grateful to have this wonderful asset in our community. I hope other parents will consider music instruction for their children from Music Makers. Thanks Mr. Christian and to the family at Music Makers Workshop
We love the teachers and our children have enjoyed learning here, though our main complaint is the front office person who is not very customer friendly. They have a strict makeup policy but instead of helping us navigate it, we were being told that it is our fault we didn’t schedule the makeup on time and they can’t do anything about it.
IMO Greatest folk group of the ’50’s & ’60’s, best 3 part harmony ever heard asuded from Crosby, Stills & Nash I ever heard, great musicians, Gaurd Stewart renditions unmatchable IMO. Folk singer myself same era and everything I musically and instrumentalley I attribute to the Kingston Trio…love ’em then and now!

Highly recommended! Benden at their guitar service center does amazing work. Very precise in everything he does. This is the only place I will take my guitars to for service.
Fast and friendly service. Had exactly what I needed 🙂
Brendan is extremely knowledgeable. Whether restringing or fret work and adjusting he gets the job done efficiently and with a smile
The instruments we have rental have been pretty worn but still work well and it is an OK deal for the price. Customer service is helpful and friendly. We have been pleased with our violin rental over this past year and will continue renting here into the next school year.
Fui una vez a ver las guitars
Great verify of sheet music and ukuleles and an awesome luthier.
Discriminated against me for having a disability.
I have been coming to this music store for years since I was a child. I know that their prices are higher than ordering online, but I’ve still paid their higher prices to support them. Today I came in with a question about how to get a simple cleaning rag, which was stuck, out of an instrument. The guy behind the counter was extremely rude did not answer any of my questions, told me that no one in the entire store had any experience with this sort of question. Sorry to say, but I will not be giving my business to the store any longer. I would recommend milano’s music, or ordering online.
They have nothing for the drummer! Maybe some sheet music? But nothing more!

Purchased a new Koa Taylor GT K21e from Acoustic Vibes today. The price was fair and communication was excellent. The owner even called me afterwards to thank me for the order, which was a nice touch. They have a great inventory of fine acoustic guitars that are definitely worth checking out.
Best collection of acoustic guitars you’ll ever find, from economical to high end. Highly recommended for sales and support!
Great set-up on mandolins. Fast, friendly and efficient.
Nice acoustic design,
all acoustic guitars top shelf brands.
Best music store in the area to peruse some of the best acoustic instruments by selected boutique and mainstream builders. The stock is priced between $3 and $10k but the reward for spending more is finding the equivalent of a Steinway (beautiful tone, resonance and playability) in a steel or nylon string guitar. Cheaper instruments are available, but comparing them to the better ones is motivation to indulge yourself or reward yourself for hard work in getting better. Better sound makes you play at a higher level. Check this small store out!
Best acoustic guitar selection I’ve seen
Very unfortunate visit, coming in to try out and buy a steel string guitar. We were greeted with passive aggressiveness and a magazine thrown across the main entrance before entering the guitar room from the shop keeper, young guy. incredibly rude and 0 customer service.
Made the whole stay unpleasant.

Good selection, but weird atmosphere and left me feeling unwelcome. One might think such a ‘high’ tier guitar store would offer a ‘high’ tier experience, but that wasn’t the case for me. When I first entered the building I was met by a few older customers and employees and got nothing but a sour face by everyone just by opening the door, no greeting, nothing- super awkward, everybody literally stopped talking to look at me with an irritated look, as if I had interrupted something. I then had to excuse myself past the small gathering of what looked like employees talking to customers that wouldn’t move just to get to the first guitar room. I then was greeted by a salesman who instead of letting me tell him what I’m looking for, proceeds to go into a shpeel on all the different Martin models, basically making me interrupt him to tell what I’m looking for. The salesman also told me HD28s don’t come with dot inlays yet here I am looking at older models with them all over the internet. There was nobody else browsing the store in the guitar sections. I was then told I could play guitars, but the adjacent rooms are used for things like Banjo, which made it so I couldn’t even hear the guitars I was trying to play because somebody was in there clawing away. I really don’t think I’ll be visiting again, regardless of the selection. I’ll spend thousands of dollars somewhere else that takes every customer seriously. I went to Milano music right after and was treated respectfully and seriously without hesitation, and I didn’t need to schedule a high-pressure sales pitch and waste an hour of my time.

String Emporium always ships me my custom viola strings in a timely manner and at a better price than buying them separately. I always buy strings from this small business!
