Great customer service and fair prices. Support your local shops!

Allow me to preface this review by saying I am an ex-employee. Some time has passed since my departure, and I think I am prepared to give a detailed review with a little more intimacy than the average customer.

There is no better place in south Miami for vintage records, used gear and unique or hard to find stuff – bar none. The staff was, and still is, made up of die-hard music nerds and get just as excited as the customers do over cool records and instruments. The prices are extremely fair, and from what I’ve seen and heard, are indeed the most affordable, especially for the records and the used stuff. Guys with fat stacks or big gear buys were almost always given a nice discount.

The new instrument selection is excellent and the management makes sure to have models for all price ranges. They always made sure to ask the lower employees about their opinion on what should be in stock at the store (not just what was running low, mind you, but what the store *should* be selling).

If, for whatever reason, the store didnt have something (rare going, because the store is deceptively big), the staff would immediately set about finding out if we could get it, and if so, how fast.

I don’t think, during my entire 1½ year time at MDC, that I ever saw a customer’s phone call get missed or ignored.

They have recorders. Recorders are always in the store. If the recorders are running out, an order is immediately placed for more recorders.

The store is WELL LIT and full of people, which is a beautiful and welcome change from GC and Sam Ash which seem to be designed with silence and darkness in mind. Very cool for a planetarium, but when you want to see the true color and/or sound of an instrument, a realistic setting is of the utmost importance. As an employee, I hated the bright lights, but for customers it made everything dazzling and made sure you know exactly what the product looks like. It makes a difference!

There are some shortcomings. The parking can be intimidating but there are always empty spaces, even though it doesn’t look like it. They dont sell modern records, nor do they sell software (all kinds of studio stuff, but no software). The hours are a little tight, but if you make it inside the store then they will help you. Try as hard as I can, that’s really all I can come up with as being flaws from a customers perspective.

The best in south Miami.

good people

Prices are fair on the gear. Not a ton a variety on string choice though and twice I’ve gotten strings that the coating had already started peeling. Both on packs of boomers.

Great place, knowledgeable staff, good prices, parking not so great.

Very good

Horrible costumer care. Un respectful making wait long and don’t make the work properly on time. Should respect more costumers.

Horrible customer service – not because of the employees but because of the owner. We were ready to buy ten vinyl records but the owner wasn’t there to offer a price for the unpriced records. The employees, who called the owner Mike an “as**ole,” said they were too scared of him to offer us a price for the records. When the owner arrived, he decided to spend time dealing with receipts even when we told him we had been waiting for him to arrive to buy the records. We walked out. He lost $60 in business, which may not be a big deal for his bottom line, but I will no longer support this local business. Tip to employees: don’t work for someone you dislike so much you call them an “asshole” in front of customers. If you’re looking to support a local store that sells used records, go to “Yesterday and Today” records on Bird Road.

Man I really go out of my way to support small business and these guys really disappointed me. My kids did classes here in the past and Ive spent thousands of dollars through out the years on equipment. Regrettably the young staff lack customer service training and they were very unhelpful. You are better off taking the drive and going to guitar center a couple of miles north.Wont go back ever again

I wanted some modifications done to my new Wolfgang Special that included switching the D-Tuna, string lock screws, nut clamping screws, and saddle inserts to blue titanium ones. Wayne did a phenomenal job replacing these parts. He thoroughly examined the guitar and found that the tuning posts were loose on the headstock and tightened them. He also adjusted the truss rod, tuned, and polished my guitar. The care that Wayne gave my guitar shows that he loves what he does. I will be a repeat customer for sure!

Awesome vibes!! Down to the roots rock and roll place. Amazing work on amps, guitars, bass, will work with you with anything. Love it. Many polished musicians come in and hell you might even get a quick jam session while you’re waiting!

From sales, restoration or reconditioning Wayne’s guitar world will take care of you and all your instruments needs. This shop has a great selection of new, used and consigned instruments. Don’t be surprised when you see Wayne himself working on your instruments. From someone with over 30 years in the production world I wouldn’t buy or take my instruments anywhere else.

Funny, sensitive, experienced, great teacher for all ages… I am so sorry that we’ve had to move away from the area.

The instructor is very knowledgeable. My children love her and she knows how to motivate them.
The recitals are wonderful! To hear all her students who play different instruments come together and show their skills is a moving show.
Having her come to the house is very convenient and she’s willing to work with a flexible schedule. I can’t wait until the kids start guitar lessons, too.

Our children are extremely happy with the staff and the individual lessons. They look forward to the time they spend there.

Great recording studio. Professional engineers and producers. Great rates and block specials. A great recording home for any artist on any level.

All good i love visiting this place.
