Love these Guys at Carlton, They treat me like a king and The store is Top Notch…!!!
Great store, well run. They have most everything you need. Competitive pricing.
Helpful staff and a really great selection of instruments and supplies.
Had repairs performed on my bass guitar. Was happy with the results. Was worried about the neck being warped. Their luthiere was able to resolve my issues, set it back up and stay within original verbal estimate over the phone. Would absolutely go back.
Mucha variedad en instrumentos musicales.
Kind of small, not enough selection
Not friendy people
All is overpriced.
Don’t waste your time! Shop at Guitar Center, better service, better prices, and better warranty’s.

Wish I had found them sooner. David and Sam was such a big help and knowledgeable of there product. No pressure. Won’t go anyplace else!
Andrew was fantastic in getting us a last minute horizontal leg tank. Got it fabbed up and picked up same day for a price that beat online retailers. Got a customer for life here!
Amazing company
I will not buy from them again.
9. Jimmy’s Vintage Music
Address: 108 Main St, Auburndale, FL 33823 , Crooked Lake Park , Florida , United States
Jimmy’s vintage is always one of the go to music stores in central florida. I needed a bigger rack mount case for my rare Mako Mak 4 pre amp, and a power amp to give it power to run some sound through it. He just so happen to have an vintage 90’s solid state Peavey power amp and a classic anvil hard shell rack case for a solid price out the door for both. If you haven’t been to his shop, you’re missing out.
If your looking for a Gibson you will find it. Well priced. Worth checking out.
Nice older instruments
If you are into vintage guitars & amps you will love this place. Looks like the owner runs it by himself so you may have to wait to get served. There was a windbag customer there when I walked in so I had plenty of time to browse. The windbag dropped a few thousand bucks so I can’t fault the owner.
Vintage all the way… Very nice to deal with.. will go out of there way to help you….
Called in about a violin and the guy who answered the phone gave some wrong information. He was certain he was giving me the correct information but he was wrong. Do not recommend for any questions regarding an old violin.
I have done many transactions with Jimmy’s vintage music. I recently traded him a brand new Eric Johnson Stratocaster for a 1965 Gibson es 125. The Gibson had high action and needed to have the neck reset at a cost of $400, so he said.
I took the guitar from Florida to Nashville Tennessee to a luthier who says not only is the neck joint destroyed but the neck has a crack in it from over tightening the truss rod and the guitar has been in a fire. I am out $2,000 because of this.
I will not be going back to Jimmy’s vintage music at any cost.
I’m always up front with anything and everything that I sell and I let people know what the issues are.
I feel I’ve been completely screwed over in this transaction and I am not happy. When I texted Jimmy he called me screaming obscenities as if I had done something wrong.
There are a lot of other places to buy instruments other than someone lack of integrity.
I used to like this place but none of the employees or customers are wearing masks. Pretty messed up to wilfully endanger the community but that’s Auburndale for you.

Very nice variety of affordable furniture dishes and glassware!
Great Thrift shop, with lots of beautiful items to choose from. Drove by not knowing what to find, and came out with a few nice items. Definitely worth the visit. Say hello to Brenda, the heloful cheerful store owner.
Nice people and cool stuff
Super nice people! Great prices too.

11. MR.PUFFERS TOBACCO AND VAPE
Address: 2042 Sam Walton Wy, Lake Wales, FL 33853 , Crooked Lake Park , Florida , United States
Very clean and organized excellent customer service, many good products.
Great service
My friend got what she needed, in and out!
It would be better if they did refunds. I bought a vape from them and told them I didn’t like the menthol or cool taste and the vape I bought had the cool taste and tried to return it and they wouldn’t so I’m stuck with a vape I can’t use
“Manager” was rude and condescending to me and I feel like he treated me like that because I’m a female. Don’t waste your time with this place.
They don’t carry my tank for my vape…:(

I wanted to let you know that the store manager, Chloe, went above and beyond for me and my daughter. My daughter was accepted to the same performing arts school that Chloe attended. She knew exactly what we needed for my daughters classes. Unfortunately the store didn’t have anything used, and being a single mom it was going to be hard for me to buy a $900 guitar with only a month to save for the guitar. Chloe had a guitar on layaway for herself that was a used version of what we needed. This was going to be her guitar, and she said they almost never get this kind of guitar used, and she said she’d never seen one in black before. (It is not an electric guitar, but a special kind of acoustic guitar).
Well, my daughter freaked because black is her favorite color. When Chloe saw the look on my daughters face when she showed her the black one she had in layaway for herself, she said go ahead and take this guitar. She gave up her guitar for my daughter. I’ve never seen my daughter happier. As a parent I can’t tell you what that means to me.
On another note, both my other kids take lessons and classes for multiple instruments. Chloe knew everything about each of the instruments in the store,
because I’m sure we drove her crazy with all our questions. However she was very patient with us and answered everything. She never made us feel like we were a bother to her.
Even though guitar center can be more expensive than other music stores, I will only shop at guitar center as long as Chloe works there. She is truly a gem of an employee!! I was a manger for The Ritz-Carlton hotels, and we are paid to go to other hotels and businesses and teach them our way of customer service. Having won several awards for customer service ourselves. So, I know what above and beyond customer service is, and Chloe consistently delivered above and beyond customer service. Thank you so much!!

Great prices
I had a great experience today (and have had other good ones in the past). Today I was in a quick need for a present for my niece. JT was kind and thoughtful and helped me promptly. He also recommended a great ukulele for the kiddo. They even had it in stock! What it comes down to is: everyone was super friendly, JT was amazingly helpful, the store was well stocked, and they were time sensitive. Staff was knowledgeable and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am glad I came here and didn’t go elsewhere.
Friendly people. Great prices
Nice guys working there.
Bought a guitar the gave me bag for lesd
Went to sell back my speaker cabinet I bought from guitar center originally right before Corona in literally perfect condition that they were still selling ar the same price of $650.00 and I expected to be low balled but they offered me $200.00 for it MAX… no thanks I’ll just use it as a coffee table before I sell it for $200.00. Even the store clerk was embarrassed and shocked as the number is auto generated. Hmu about my mark bass speakers, I’ll sell them at a much better price than guitar center.
I have shopped here a small number of times, purely for convenience. If somewhere 20 miles further away had what I needed I would go there instead. Getting served here takes a lifetime! The place always looks like it’s in the middle of construction and the staff are only helpful when they are trying to up sell you.
I visited today just for some guitar strap locks. I couldn’t find them so I asked the young guy on the checkout desk and he pointed me to a far wall saying “I don’t know if we have any but if we do they’re over there” I went and looked and there were none so I came back to tell him and there was a stack of them right in front of him, he couldn’t miss them! That’s just an example of any experience at this shop. Horrible place and terrible staff.
Very bad paul Read smith the grear warranty is a lie
16. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 2000 E State Rd 60, Lake Wales, FL 33898 , Crooked Lake Park , Florida , United States
Always a good place to eat caribean food and good service
Muy buena
The layout of the store was confusing to me.
Wish the shelves were better stocked
Employees in bad moods or get attitude when ask for help
Need more cashiers working
It is ridiculous, that a person with passport can not use it as an identification. I always buy groceries and.everything there but when I did not have cash, they do not take my check, because my I’d was my passport. Very disappointed with that, have to left everything and return home empty with nothing. What about the people that don’t drive? The registers should be prepared for passports as identification. God bless America and the poor customer’s service in Walmart.
Thanks for nothing, walmart in lake wales fl.
G
Terrible the lettuce and produce is still empty, the workers with those blue pick carts are always rude and running into you never have one of them said excuse me. If they must pick items during the day why can’t they leave the blue carts at the ends of the ile and the worker walk down and get there item ???

My mom was raised in Frostproof where Crooked Lake is located along with other pretty lakes. Still a very pretty small town
SIMPLY beautiful! Love the calm by a fire, music & friends!!! Try it sometime.
Great area, Beautiful lake with great fishing.
I would be better if some of the vegetation is cut down so people could fish from the shore
Beautiful
Crime rate is high beautiful place a lot of people fish there

The best thank god fore it nice people. Nice grate place faith
You can find a lot of things here without breaking the bank.They typically don’t have a lot of boy clothes. They do have baby clothes, but their stock depends on what gets donated. They are so friendly and this place is such a blessing to our town. You can donate and buy here knowing your items or money is being put to good use. Check out what we found today! We are so excited!
Nice lots of great finds.
Very nice, clean and friendly staff.
Good
Always find interesting items
Poor selection always picked over and a little pricey. Better off going to the flea market
This Thrift Shop seems like the one that maybe the really really poor people donate to. You go in there and there’s hardly anything that you might want there’s lots of stuff but honestly it’s gross! On occasion you may see one thing but on the whole keep driving there are surely other better thrift shops than this one
If I can give this place no stars I would… came in on Saturday 03/09/19, and the minute my husband and I walked in… a lady with short blonde hair im assuming the owner began to follow us around the store… My husband caught on quick to it and i noticed when I turned around she was just staring and watching me.. I felt VERY unconfortable as Ive never experienced anything like that before.. she proceded to follow us until we finally decided to leave… never will I Ever step foot there again and I will make sure to spread the word!!! Oh not to mention they barely had anything good and utensils still had food on it.. gross!!

Best people best treasures and best deals in lake whales, I’ve been to every thrift shop from Miami to Jacksonville and this little hole in the wall hidden gem is by far the best!
It was good as always
It isn’t as hard to find a bargain here. Especially in clothes. However they are very small.
Good people.
Was going to donate a collection of expensive Hummels, but the hung up on me. Don’t go.
