Hey guys do you guys sell guitar strings im missing one and need to buy one and i live near hanford
The staff was very helpful and ready to assist our needs also have available music lessons ☺️
Nice place and very helpful. Were able to replace strings on my left handed bass when I didnt know how.
It’s a nice little place to get your music needs
Pretty nice store though plenty could disagree
Went there at 1:30. It said online that it was open at 1.
A guy was in there but didn’t answer the door when we knocked.
So I called and left a text and still, no answer.
Guess we’ll be going to Visalia.
Told me he was better than guitar center because he’s a metal expert.
It’s a nice little store and all, but the employees are rude as they can be. I recommend driving to visalia to guitar center, so they can give you the actual respect and give you everything you need without being rude.

Given every chance to help local business owners I will. Jeff is a awesome and friendly guy. Knowledgeable in his profession. Great selection and fair prices.
So glad to have a Music shop in town, where I can get what I need. Great selection and great prices..
Good store and employees also they do have amazing sales
It’s o.k a little pricy but no choice unless going to visalia..
Very nice folks just thought Prices a little high
Fair prices and decent selection. Friendly and helpful staff will try and procure what you need if not carried.
I am not satisfied with Jeff’s Music store at all! In December of last year, I purchased a set of Peavey mics as a gift to our church. During our first worship service, we noticed that the one mic kept going off. Thinking it was probably the battery, we replaced the battery. Did fine for a short while and then went off again. The repeated changing of the battery caused the cover to break. I took the Mic back to Jeff to see if they would replace 2 weeks later. He kept the mics for 2 weeks while he said he would contact Peavey to see if they would replace it. After repeatedly calling and going by to check on it, I was told that the button on the Mic was broken and Peavey wouldn’t replace it. My thing is that I purchased the Mic from Jeff and not Peavey! I returned it within 30 days of purchase and was told “Sorry, there’s nothing I can do.” I’m sorry I ever spent the $513 for the mics there! And the $500 drum set last Christmas! And also the $85 a month drum lessons I spend on every month. I will not be purchasing anything more from Jeff’s Music. He does not stand behind his products that he sells. I will go to Visalia next time.

The staff here at this establishment are very cordial and quick to help a customer in need. Very good business to go 4 any type of musical needs. Well at least instruments and fixing them as well.
Staff is amazing
Nothing but the best in quality and service available to the public.
Muy bonito
Great and helpful!
I have been going to White’s off and on for maybe 20 years? Some long-time staff are cool and extremely helpful, and I have also walked out when I was ready to lay down 7 to 800 bucks on a guitar because of the rude sales clerk they had at that time. They are the last of the local “mom & pop” music stores we’ve had in town over the years. I avoid Guitar Center with a passion and prefer to go to White’s when I can but, similar to Wal-Mart & Lowe’s compared to Ace hardware & your local department store (which there are few left), it’s hard to pay 5 bucks for an item you can get for 2 at the mega box store. Overall I like White’s but I have had a few bad experiences there (however the people who were rude seem to pass through, Guitar Center is almost ALWAYS rude as if it is corporate policy) in my experience.
Never has anything in stock. Had to go to Guitar Center’s Percussion Department for what I needed.
Be careful of the instrument rental contracts here, very shady. There are many other options to rent instruments from places nearby, and I would recommend going with a place like Guitar Center over this one if you want an honest and straightforward agreement. We were told by the owner, Robert, at a rental night that we pay monthly on the balance until the value of the instrument is paid off. When automatic payments stopped getting charged, we assumed it was because the instrument was paid off. After a year, we got a notice from a collections agency saying we owed almost $1000 in rental charges, without any prior notification from Whites music that there was still any kind of balance on the account. Whites music claimed that the reason charges had stopped was that the expiration date on the card expired, and that we would have needed to go in and state that we wanted to own the instrument or we would continue to be charged for renting. The owner, Robert, was very rude to us on the phone and hung up on us when we asked questions about the music contracts. Other workers there said the person in charge of sending out notifications of the account being past due had recently been fired and refused to say anything else about the notifications not being sent out. One worker, Joseph, stated, “Are you in the habit of not reading the fine print on contracts?” in response to inquiries. If you rent from this company, you need to read carefully and keep careful records. Their contracts are set up in a way to take advantage of people, with a stipulation in fine print saying that you have to take additional measures then what is told to you on first signing. Furthermore, they are not afraid to lie about their services or speak unkindly to customers. It is apparent that Robert sees his business as a way to make money and that is all. He does not care about his customers, and he doesn’t care to run an honest business.
Update: After reading the owner’s reply, you should know that they did not lose money on this deal. This is a shady comment in itself, because they are referring to a small fee that was paid to the collections agency for them taking on the account. White’s Music received a payment in rental fees of over $400 from myself and the trumpet was returned to account for the other fees. They made hundreds of dollars as a result of this deal, not including the value of the trumpet which they can now rent out again. The owner also mentions the contract continuously as a reason why it is okay to behave the way they did. My dilemma has, and continues to be, that I received no notification of any late fees before being sent to collections. This dilemma was never responded to and the owner did not make up for this oversight. This company did not go out of it’s way to help me with this matter. They took a lot of money from me and did it in a dishonest way. If you notice, the owner makes no mention of hanging up on me, being rude, or the comment made by the employee about how I should have read the fine print on the contract more carefully. This business believes that it is established and it’s long-standing history with the community can make up for poor practices, and that as long as something is written into a binding contract, they can swindle people however they want. Just because this company once had an honest reputation in years past does not mean it continues to be that way.
Low inventory. Cluttered. Go to guitar center.

They are really great at this guitar center, I’ve stopped here when in the area 3 times and each time they were very customer friendly and available and eager to help our answer any questions, they have a fairly good selection, I’m sure I’ll be stopping here again whenever I need some gear and I’m in the area.
Aquí mi hijo encuentra todo lo que necesita para tocar su guitarra eléctrica, amplificadores, cables, pedales en fin todo lo que necesita.
Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Will be back to get other musical instruments for our kids.
Kids love trying out the instruments before buying. Great selection
Mi hijo encontro la bosina que buscaba
A few friendly emloyees and a few not so much. Still love the place.
Trying to buy a drum set and no one can really help or answer questions. Im here to but this thing now and the salesperson takes off. There’s only one other customer here and this is unacceptable.
I ordered some used inventory from this store and they shipped it to some random address on the opposite side of the country. When I called and found out that it was their mistake, the operations manager seemed as if it was his first day on the job and had little to no clue about what to do. It was almost like he didn’t know how to do simple math and figure out that I should be refunded shipping cost and tax amount for the purchase, he was only going to refund the item alone. Maybe he thought that I would be ok with paying the shipping for the random customer who got a free instrument. Never thought anything like that would happen in the first place, but I finally got my money after calling me back 4 different times because he couldn’t figure it out. Just dreadful, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing used inventory online from this Guitar Center.
Did not visit Micheals is next door

Eric Anderson is one of the most professional music instructors I have known. His enthusiasm for education, emphasis on proper technique, and consistent punctuality make him stand out in the field of music education. Would recommend very highly!
This is a question: is this place for children and it if is what age
