Exclusive selection: The top 20 music shops of Calaf

Highest quality guitars, sold by a great staff at very competitive prices!

Had one of the best shopping experiences I’ve ever had. Knowledgeable. Passionate about music. Really took the time to show me the nuances of the guitars for sale. Can’t say enough positive. A++++++++++

if you play guitar and enjoy finer instruments you got to stop in…. the best selection of quality acoustic guitars and a few electrics too for those who like to plug in. They will also match Sweetwater as well. So if you need a new instrument stop in and support a local shop.Very knowledgeable staff as well.

Had a guitar cable when I needed it.

Not many mandolins

No prices listed

Thé Owners are lousy business

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Brought in a trumpet with a stick mouth piece. They were very nice and were able to remove the mouth piece quickly. Great customer service!

Professional and high quality service from a multi-generation family owned business. Scott and his staff truly care about your progress as a musician. Their music teachers are highly educated and patient. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my family’s music needs.

Great place but website could be better such as pics of some used equipment. I’m a drummer and would like to see what they have for new and used cymbals,stands,drum kits etc. And prices. I have done business with them and always had a great experience the reason for three stars is the website doesn’t do the music shop justice. All and all great store great people.

The cellos were in not in good shape and we had to pay a luthiere to redo repairs that were poorly done when we received the instrument.

Gail Bruno one of the best caring shop keepers in the area.

Refreshing to see fair prices and a happy experience every time

we Buy, Sell or repair guitars , and any musical instruments always a delightful experience

Great Job Guys

CC

love this little shop.

Awesome lessons and equipment!!!

Knowledgeable staff, in addition to guitars, keyboards, etc… They have school instrument rentals

Nice staff

Call before visiting the store. They say they’re open at 12:30 but don’t show up for hours after the fact. I get it, they’re a small operation, but wasting your local customer’s time doesn’t breed repeat customers. I needed to be in the store three times. All three times, my time was wasted because the store wasn’t open during their own published times of operation. Just rent your kid’s instrument from somewhere else.

Sent my guitar (Fender Jazzmaster) for connection electric issue. After roughly a week and a half guitar was done just for it to have the same issue. What a disappointment

Absolute joke of a store.

I drive 40 mins to shop here, i love this store and their great selections of brands and products.

Wow what a cool place. My favorite Gretsch guitars were in evidence and I got to play a Brian Seltzer Hot Rod . I used it to try out my new purchase of Source Audio reverb pedal. Thanks to the Martel’s for making me feel welcome and for a terrific deal. I’ll be back!

You can get guitars and gear at a million places, but if you want a cool place with just the best stuff – no junk – and someone who knows ALL the details, go here. Bonus if you’re a Gretsch player, because he all the models you wish you had.

Interesting store with some interesting gear. They don’t seem to carry Fender or Gibson. They had a stomp box manufacturing class going on when I visited.

As one reviewer already stated. They have a terrible return policy especially with online purchases. Good store as long as you know you’re going to keep the item but who really knows, its musical gear, its hard to tell if your going to dig it or not until you play it with your rig. Returning a pedal (or probably anything) is just not worth it due the return fees. 2 stars because I received it pretty quickly but definitely wasn’t packed that well. Without a doubt this will be my last purchase from this store. There’s plenty of other great stores to choose from that won’t bend you over on return fees. **Edit for response to the owner** Yes you do clearly state your return fees online. “Small restocking fee” is a bit of an understatement…your restocking fee is 10%. If I pay $250 for a guitar pedal. Right off the bat you’re keeping $25 of my return. I couldn’t imagine purchasing a guitar online through your store.

Purchased a guitar for 750, now walking out with 637. Unfortunately I was not told about a very unfair and sneaky return exchange policy until I had asked after already completing the purchase. Also could not see clearly a visible sign inside that states anything about a return policy. When I asked where the sign was upon trying to return this guitar he pointed to have a corner and I still did not see the sign. I do believe that a return policy sign should be at the register for full disclosure. The law does state you are entitled to a full refund if you are not told about the refund policy during the time of the transaction, which I was not informed of that. Limited selection and unfortunately subject to a very steep restocking fee or store credit, if you are a serious musician make sure you know this first as you know that buying instruments is quite expensive and it is hard to want to get locked into something that you do not truly love.

I have done business with them several times, and I am very satisfied with the products and service. Thanks Mike

colin in guitars is the most helpful ever!!
everyone at amity sam ash is awesome.

Thanks Jordan!!! You you made this beginner feel very comfortable and my new Taylor GS mimi is the perfect guitar for me!
Les

As always large selection of stuff but pricey.

Great helpful and knowledgeable staff !!

The girl at the front of store, with long brown hair was more involved in her cell phone then noticing I was standing at the counter for a good two minutes. The girl in the band department was very nice and helpful, so was everyone else.

Drove 25 minutes to the store only to find out it doesn’t open until noon. Utterly rudiculous! Just close your doors for good if you’re going to have such restrictive hours!

Edit: This review was written over ten years ago but a small edit and it has now posted as recent. Not sure why but that’s not why I’m writing this edit here. This review being posted prompted a manager from Sam Ash to contact my father (who has the same name as me) to try and address whatever issue prompted the negative review. My father called me to let me know and told me the manager would like me to call him. Well… I’ve called around 6 times now and can’t get through, it simply hangs up on me after pressing #2 for a manager. I decided to give the 1-800# a call to see if they could connect me to the New Haven store manager because it kept hanging up on me. Guess what? Twice I called the 1-800#, twice they hung up. At this point it’s comical. I don’t even really remember what my issue was when I wrote this review but things must not be any better down there at Sam Ash since I can’t even contact anyone. Keep up the great work guys.

Original Review:
“You want a real review then look no further. When you walk into Sam Ash it is like walking into a garage sale. Used products trying to be pawned off with brand new retail prices. Almost everything I purchased from Sam Ash had to be returned or replaced. Customer Service hah! Forget about it. Some preemie-punk band wannabees who know only what their 1978 computer programmed screen tells them on how low they can go without making a commision. If you are a novice they will clean your wallet without even blinking! Do not buy into their trade-in program HUGE let down. They will not take anything!! You are better off going to the local pawn shop with your gear. I brought in a workstation worth triple what I was trying to trade for and they looked as confused as George Bush at a press conference and still would not trade. Do not waste your time with this Flea Market! Do yourself a favor and make the extra trip to Guitar Center or if you need orchestra instruments see your local music shop you will be 100% better off. I am a 25+years musician and HAVE NOT and DO NOT work at any music store so what you read is the truth do with it what you want.”

Merchandise walks out the door with disgruntled employees and no one seems to care. I had recently checked the website to see if they had what i was looking for and it said limited stock. Fair enough so i call the store and yes they confirm there is one left. After sitting in traffic for almost an hour and a half because the closest sam ash is quite the drive for me, i finally get there and it is nowhere to be found. They made a feeble attempt at offering to order it and take something like 9 dollars off which basically amounted to not paying the sales tax but i would now have to wait several more days and make the long trip out there again plus i would have to pay for it now for them to order it. Needless to say I declined and left disappointed. But the next week out of curiosity i checked the website and sure enough it says they have it so i call and and the guy says no we had one but our old manager took it but i can order it for you. Again i would have to pay in advance and it would take a week to ten days. So several weeks later yes it’s still listed on the website but is not in stock and no one seems interested in restocking or updating the website. Needless to say i go to guitar center which is about 5 minutes away from me. They’ve been friendly and helpful when i order things it takes maybe 3 to 5 days depending on the items and they actually restock their inventory. I gave sam ash 3 tries and they blew it every time. Go to guitar center in Orange CT not sam ash in new haven.

There’s the place that has a right equipment for professionals.

Great customer service. Friendly and knowledgeable. I purchased a guitar online. George promptly answered numerous e-mails and was very flexible with different methods of payment. The guitar was shipped out immediately and I received it the next day, (I live a few States away). I have to say the Guitar arrived in mint, right out of the box condition and plays like a dream. Georges music also carries higher end guitars that will not be found (if even carried) at the average Guitar Center.

Wayne S Cooper

Dennis there helps me out often. I’ve recently purchased three Roland products. Over the years I’ve bought guitars and amps there plus tons of accessories and service. Catalog prices on great gear close by!

Nice shop

Meh

If you’re not looking to go too far to get musical instruments. Look no further. Expensive though. But if you don’t care about prices, go for it. Not much of a selection though.

After going to this place; I must say I will never go back there again. The owner is so rude and disrespectful. Its not even funny. The owner needs get off his anthropocentric state of mind.

This place is just awful. The owner is so rude to us that i will never go back. We rented an instrument from him because our normal music store didnt have the instrument and when the instrument broke he said it was our fault and that it wasnt covered and then bad mouthed our local music store.

When my 10 yr old wanted to start an instrument, I only thought of Matty’s Music, and my daughter is so happy. I was unable to take her to look into the Baritone Horn, so my mother did. She explained how Matt was beyond helpful and informative in making making the right decision about the instrument. My mother is a hard one to be patient with, but Matt answered all of her questions and concerns. Even the ones my daughter said were silly! Thank you Matt!

Knowledgeable and honest. If something isn’t in stock they make ordering easy. So much better and personalized service than chain stores. Support local businesses!

Great business, very helpful, listens, will great teacher!

Great service.

Dirty, stuff everywhere, completely disorganized.

They have fair pricing and will often give you a discount. Mark and Eric are great to work with at their East Hartford, CT location. You pay cash…they give you a better deal too. Tons of vinyl records for Beat Makers and Producers. All Genres to flip through.

Small shop but has any parts you’d need are probably there and the staff were helpful.

Mi tienda favorita tiene excelente precios de instrumentos musicales y son muy generoso y amigable se la recomiendo a todos

First, the employees were excellent; friendly and helpful. I was extremely disappointed in the store itself. This was basically a dark, messy pawn shop, not the store I was familiar with from years ago. My only reason to go back would be to pick through dusty items to find something I might be in search of, more of an adventure.

Ordered lugs for my snare. They sent me receipts and invoices and never shipped my lugs. I called and emailed multiple times and never got a response back after leaving numerous messages. Been 2 months and I still don’t have my lugs and am out $60.

Total waste of my time

Closed even though the hours said it was open (3 pm on a Wednesday). The place looked like a hoarders attic. Absolute mess.

I had a great experience at JC Music approximately 1 month ago. I purchased an acoustic guitar for a very good price , which I am extremely pleased with. The salesman was quite helpful, and took alot of time with me explaining many of different things and answering all my questions.
In addition, I mentioned I had a mini-acoustic guitar which I hardly ever played, and he told me about their Consignment program. Well, fast forward…they just sent me a check for 60% of the sales price they were able to sell it for.
I will always shop at JC Music as they are honest, friendly, have a nice selection of instruments, music, etc…. I would also consider taking lessons if I get the time.

JC Music is the place to go for anything music oriented! Whether you are looking for strings or string music…or just want to learn how to play the instrument you’ve always wanted…go see JC Music! Knowledgeable staff, great teachers, and the highest quality instruments you need!

My daughter has been taking violin lessons here for two years and absolutely loves it! Piano lessons are coming next for her and drum lessons for our son…JC Music is where we’ll be going!

very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly family owned music store

My grandson really enjoyed the music lessons and they are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.

Would like to obtain some nice brushes and some type of top hat set used and very sturdy since I break percussion instruments all the time when I perform?

My son, Roberto Luis and Rosa live in Meriden. Are you far from the mall? I have spent a lot of time jamming in Puerto Rico to salsa, merengue, etc but my favorite is funk like Buddy Miles.

Completely disappointed. I placed an order in store on a instrument that was never placed with JC music. The customer service was poorly displayed and the options they gave us was not acceptable. I asked to speak to the owner several times and would not get on the phone and made his new employee talk to me. I ended up going somewhere else that was amazing

Never have any of the literature or instrument parts I’m looking for. Took 3 months to repair a trombone. I tried to return an item and they wouldn’t give me back the cash to go to another place. The owner has blatantly disrespected my mother on several occasions and doesn’t have much knowledge of much of anything outside of rock music. As far as i’m concerned, this is the worst music store i’ve ever set foot in and would not recommend to anybody.

This was a horrible expierence. They need to get their stuff together, they had already-sold instruments on shelf. They had an amazing guitar sale and when I went to buy, it was already sold! They got my hopes high and let it down and I will not give them my money any longer.

I’m not sure how long this review will be, but I will say upfront that buying a guitar from DuBaldo Music was a great experience, from day one until I took delivery of my instrument, and beyond!

I ordered an Alvarez-Yairi Honduran series (FYM66HD) guitar from Pete at DuBaldo music in April 2021.

For those reading this review in the somewhat distant future, allow me to set the scene a bit:

There was a LOT going on in the world during this time. The COVID Pandemic was still raging, and supply chains were snarled at every turn.

Ports were closed, dock workers and truckers were striking or working limited hours under delayed timelines. Parts availability was questionable at best, etc.

VERY long story short: The guitar had to be hand built in Japan, then shipped to the west coast, then shipped to St.Louis, MO, then shipped to DuBaldo Music in CT before I could take delivery. All the while, considering the conditions of the world as described above.

Pete, Lisa and everyone else at DuBaldo music helped me along at every stage, kept me updated, empathized with and tolerated my frequent calls for updates, contacted the distributor in St. Louis on my behalf, and were generally very pleasant to work with over a period of just over one full year.

I will not pretend that I wasn’t itching to receive my guitar, or that the extended delay didn’t bother me. It was a maddening wait!

But I want to make it crystal clear:

DuBaldo music did their absolute best to get it to me as quickly as possible, considering the extremely challenging circumstances. I can’t say enough about their customer service. It was exceptional at every stage!

When I made my order over the phone, Pete answered all my questions and made sure I was comfortable with what I was ordering as far as the specs were concerned. We made a deal on a VERY good price, and the wait began.

I won’t bore with the details, but between Japan and Connecticut there were numerous significant delays. Mostly unavoidable and one or two caused by decisions that St.Louis Music made, and/or failed to communicate ahead of time.

Pete and Lisa worked through all of this for me deftly, and professionally.

I am not local to the store. I live in DC, about 6 hours away. When the guitar finally arrived, there were 3 in the order, and Pete and Lisa let me know that I could have my pick of the three. Instead of having Pete play them for me over the phone and choosing from pictures, I decided to drive up and try them out in person, and drive it home myself.

Lisa and Nick were more than accommodating, and I was made to feel very comfortable while taking my time to decide. All 3 guitars were incredible instruments and it was a tough decision. Nick provided periodic feedback and assistance as I tried them over a period of about 3 hours. I never felt rushed, bothered, or unimportant. They made sure I was attended to but was not hovered over.

They knew exactly how to help a musician pick an instrument, and it is clear that they wanted to make sure I was equipped to make the right choice, and leave satisfied.

On the way out, as they knew I was a visitor, they even provided local restaurant recommendations, since I had mentioned that I was making my best effort to eat at great places while I was on the road.

I was, and am still, very happy with the decision I made, and with the entire experience of buying from DuBaldo music.

I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My only disappointment was that after a year of talking to him several times a month on the phone, I didn’t get to meet Pete in person, since he was out sick the day I visited.

Hopefully he’s feeling better now, and if I’m ever back in CT, I’ll be sure to stop in and thank him personally!

Thanks again to Lisa, Nick, Pete, and everyone at DuBaldo for a trying, long lasting,, but ultimately completely satisfying experience! The guitar is utterly amazing and will be with me forever, as will the experience of shopping with you.

That was likely the most pleasant guitar buying experience I have ever had. I could not recommend patronizing this amazing store more. Thank you so much!!

Great store! Love the selection of Ernie Ball Music Man instruments.

Great service

Nice music store in Monroe, we bought a cute ukulele here!

I love this place, i go in just to look at the product and I always end up buying something.

Awesome staff and great deals! No surprise they have 5 stars!!!

Scheduled a guitar lesson here, spent $45, arrived on time, the teacher I was assigned to never showed up. At least they were nice enough to give me my money back the next day.

Poor customer service.

Terrible, definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone in this planet or another. I originally paid through Groupon just to see if the classes worked out for my son. I paid for 45 mins and they only gave me 30mins classes for my son ,that should of been the 1st red flag. But then they make you sign a paper and they ask you to put a credit card info even though I paid for the 1st month in full. So we tried that 1st month and decided it wasn’t for my son,he didn’t like it.so then I thought I was done with this establishment and they kept charging me even though I was done with them clearly, scammers.terrible customer service!

Mike the owner is one of the nicest guys. This is a great place for equipment, supplies and lessons.

Great job setting up my DIY bass. Also leveled, crowned and polished the frets. At a great price.

For the past 18 months, I have been taking weekly drum lessons from Gary, who is a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. I have been bringing all of my guitars to Westbury music for re-stringing and repairs since they opened shop several years ago..I bought a beautiful bass guitar and amp from them a few months ago. Their prices are very reasonable and the gear is top notch. And Michael is a really great guy.

excellent store, good Fender Selection, nice acoustics, lessons, and school instruments.

Ordered instrument for my son, was told to pick up the next day, went the following day to pick it up and it wasn’t there. Also bought a box of reefs for the instrument and was given the wrong kind. The gentleman that waited on us was polite, although he didn’t recognize us even though we had just been in the day before!

Staff is very friendly and knowledgable.

Thank you, the staff was beyond helpful, thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic, had a great time!

Soothing, chill environment. Test out the gear and employees are very helpful

Chaz manages the heck out of that store. His knowledgeability and friendly attitude truly sets the tone for this location’s organizational culture… I find such influence to be a rarity for small businesses and “branch retail locations” these days.

I think this store is cool don’t have a problem. Everything goes good unles David Smith is in the store. I think he’s one of the worst supervisors in the store.

Very helpful with everything

These guys just thwarted THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY!
I attempted to return/exchange a 12 pack of Fender Medium guitar picks because I use Heavy. Just an even exchange — I did not have the receipt but I figured it would be no biggie. Not at this store!!! No way, Jose! I thought I could get away with a fast one but these guys are SUPER SHARP (and they know I can only get these at about a million other places). I’m lucky to have sped away before the SWAT Team showed up.
Maybe when they go bankrupt, I’ll bid on some lots of Fender guitar picks, just for schadenfreude. (Of course, I am required to give at least one-star so I will make the worn-out statement that they don’t even deserve that.) Now, onto amazon.com!
(UPDATE: These guys can’t even get my name right! In an email, they apologized for the “typo” but they have not corrected it, which leads me to believe it was NEVER a typo to begin with! Avoid this chain and buy local!)

Worst service of any store in tri state area.

Customer service is nonexistent. Came in with my boyfriend to pick up an order that was placed online and was to arrive at the store within 5 days. Associates said that an email would be sent when the order arrived at the store. Two weeks later, no email is sent so we track the package and come to find that the package was delivered a week ago. We arrive at the store and wait at the service desk that says “Online Order Pick-Up” for a while. 10 minutes later, we are redirected to another part of the store. Why would there be a specific part of the store for online order pick ups when it isn’t used?? We wait for another 15-20 minutes while one salesperson is standing around not helping a customer. Finally, someone helps us and all we had to do was a sign a piece of paper and leave with the product. We spent about 30 minutes waiting to sign a piece of paper and pick up something we already paid for. It sucked.

Great place

Rick has been my go-to guy for basses and amplifiers for more than 10 years now. He stocks a great selection of gear in all price ranges, and if he doesn’t have what you want he’ll find it for you. His prices are very competitive, but where Rick really shines is in his expert knowledge of music and instruments, and his fanatical commitment to customer service.

One time I blew a speaker in a cabinet I purchased at the ‘Hangar — it was under warranty, so all I had to do was send it back to the manufacturer and wait for a replacement. Rick personally took care of shipping the blown speaker back to the maker, and when the replacement was delayed by back orders he got on the phone with them and insisted they pull a speaker from their production area and ship it to me immediately, which they did. He didn’t have to to that, and I doubt anyone else would.

So I’m a Guitarhangar customer for life.

The salesperson there was incredible. He helped me look at guitars. Was incredibly knowledgeable and really encouraging. Highly recommend

Horrible service the owner ignored me when I asked to play

owner is arrogant. store is filthy. selection is limited. looks like the music section of a pawn shop.

Make sure that you buy your merchandise from inside the store !! Do not get it from EBAY because you will end up with trash..

Great service.

This place has everything you might want. My first time here but I don’t play any instruments but there’s a lot here. Big store with lots of help around.

The people that worked at Guitar Center were very attentive and helped me with all of my questions and issues. One man at the front desk even helped me carry my equipment out to my car! It was a great experience;

Awesome bunch of employees in this store.

Awesome, has great cowbells, triangles, tambourines, ect

Always good and a lot of help and info around if you ask…and always a decent amount of selection…

Found the amp i wanted, staff was too busy doing nothing to ask if i needed help so i left and placed my order with an online retailer. Enjoy getting paid for doing nothing while you can because when guitar center closes this underperforming store you will be able to do nothing full time for free.

Horrible service staff snobby

Cannot get off their email list.

Great honest shop here. Had a great online interaction with Dave via email. Want to know why I trust them? Because they talked me out of a purchase. Ha! Thanks again!

Woodbury Music is the best shop around of all of your instrument needs! The shop owner Dave, is both friendly & knowledgeable! I have gotten both common things done (fixing of saxophone keys) as well as unusual things done (fixing of a dulcimer bridge) and everyone has always been great! I have also taken lessons for almost three years now, and my teacher Mike is not only a dedicated teacher, but also a very talented professional. Stop by and check it out!

A hidden gem UPSTAIRS. Don’t miss it. Dave the owner is great, and talented. Patrick Gill is the PREMIER guitar TECH in the whole northwest CT region. He works miracles at a very fair price. Excellent teachers, Will for piano and keyboards and Mike for guitar and bass. Better check them out. I only trust my guitars to Dave and Patrick. Won’t go anywhere else. Seriously.

Quality store, professional staff, and especially helpful with younger students. Good programs for renting instruments, and they host lessons as well.

Great store and affordable items

The staff was extremely helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, and I will definitely be coming back to them.

I have condensed my original rant down to the following- we really like our children’s teachers- but the front desk needs saving

Limited retail space, but the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Music lessons are offered on site.

Yeah it’s good!

JUST HIT BACKSPACE ON YOUR BROWSER AND PICK ANOTHER COMPANY. YOU’RE WELCOME.

Called your West Hartford CT store early today, after calling around to several other of your stores, to see if the had a certain string for my cello and if they could fix the one string today. Was told yes on both. My husband drove 25 min there to find out they did not have the string. Drove to the nearest store that had this string (which was an additional 15 min out from my house) and they had no one to help with the cello. My husband ended up purchasing the string. Had I talked to him I would have told him not to make the purchase. Now every place is closed so tomorrow I have to go to another store to get this string put on. We needed the cello for tomorrow so you guys were literally no help. I will be returning the string and doing my business elsewhere. I should have listened to the other bad reviews. First time customer turned into last time customer.

Absolutely horrible service by the staff. Our son took lessons for two years and store failed to call when teacher couldn’t make it to lesson and even refused to acknowledge that his instrument had been returned when it was sitting in front of them. Sadly, these small shops are disappearing and so it is hard to walk away from one but the staff and management is really just that bad.

My child joined band program at her school in West Hartford. Using their online system, I placed an order for instrument rental and a book for the program. The date I placed my order, they charged my credit card.

However, they never delivered the instrument until I called and confirm the status. The book was never delivered with the instrument. A week later, I called them to confirm about the book. They told me that it was back ordered. Since the book was available in Amazon for next day delivery, I asked Music & Arts to cancel my book order.

After few weeks, I still did not have my credit back for the book. I called them to ask for the refund, and the customer service told me that I have to return the book (which was never delivered!) in order to get the refund and hang up on me. I used the chat function on their website to explain the situation. Here, the customer service told me that they would never charge the credit card unless the item is delivered, and conversation did not go anywhere. (Again, my credit card was charged on the date I placed order!) Not knowing what to do, I called the store in West Hartford, left my phone number with an employee so the manager can call me back. No one called me back. I sent polite email to the manager, and also emailed the customer service. No response from anyone.

I will NOT order anything from this business in the future.

Staff was very helpful

Awesome equipment, Awesome Service, Awesome People

Helpful staff, good inventory.

Smaller than most GC stores…limited inventory.

A wide variety of instruments at dinner decent prices

Staff is very helpful.

If I could give negative stars I would. I waited 10 days for this item I bought used from the guitar center website and actually called the store in Danbury, CT where a condescending man-child with an English accent assured me the item was in mint condition. They shipped it across the country in the original packaging with no bubble wrap, protective box, or anything that would protect it. The unit was rattling around in the box when I picked it up. Upon opening it I found that every side was broken and it was covered in some sort of sticky substance. I don’t appreciate being lied to, having my time wasted, or this incompetent attempt at shipping an expensive item I spent my hard earned money on. I’ve spent thousands upon thousands of dollars at guitar center. Unbelievably incompetent…

terrible store and that bald manager is a chode. rip offs.

I was in at noon and 4 workers behind the counter doing nothing but fooling around ….anyway , for used gear everyone i know just goes on Reverb on 2022
