Played our wedding at a fair price! Kept everyone entertained!
Have seen him at alot of local venues over the years, very talented!
This local boy is a star!
Amazingly talented and down to earth musician.
They were very courteous and professional They had what I needed and sold it to me about a fair price. Answered my questions so I could understand. Yes I will go back to their store when I’m have a need for other musical instruments
2. Music Junction
Address: 14515 Main St, Alachua, FL 32615 , Gilchrist County , Florida , United States
Great place to take lessons from great teachers!!! Stop in!!!!
Classic music store, specializes in acoustic instruments. Excellent instructors in guitar,mandolin,banjo,violin and uke. Also piano.
What an awesome spot to drop in on.
I got a great like-new guitar here, and I love it! I asked for a certain feel and playability, in a certain (low) price range, and they found me the perfect one! They even fixed it up for me (usually a paid service) for free. The owner and employees are really nice, and the store has a family atmosphere. I do wish they had more selection of items, but they will order pretty much anything you want, so that makes up for it.
They checked out my musical instruments for me, and told me yes they would make nice gifts for my grandchildren I was really appreciative.
thank you, Music Junction.
Overpriced, poor selection, and very poor service (an employee was ridiculously patronizing to my friend’s teenaged son). Several acquaintances have voiced similar experiences. I will never go back.
I never thought I’ll get such a horrible service and attitude. Would never step into this shop and certainly discourage anyone from visiting it.
Lack of professionalism and client orientation.
Driven by money and greed.
Overprice and not professional work. That’s what I experienced, and I learned my lesson to trust my guts when, in the beginning of the discussion about the work that should be done, I heard the comment. I asked to defret my bass and asked how much it would cost. The answer was 150$ ( another place I asked $80-90, but I could not do it immediately. Also, the location was less convenient for me), Leon asked $150 for defreting , because he will have to remove the string !!!! Of course, you have to remove strings. It’s part of the job. When I checked the bass, which I just got while checking it at Leon’s shop, I realized that I also have to change the electronics and pickups. I asked Leon if he could do all the jobs before November 1 because this is when I’m flying and need the bass way way before that. He agreed.
I gave him a bass on Sept 5th. I got electronics a month later on Oct 3rd. Nothing was done by that time. The bass was just lying there.
When we were discussing defretting, he said he would refill the empty frets groves with wood and asked me what I want dark or light wood. I asked for dark. In the end, he felt it with an epoxy and did a sloppy job. Part of the frets aren’t filled with epoxy.
Electronic weren’t salder properly and when I explained what the problem was and asked him to resolved it he replied that he spend already so much time on my bass and can’t fix it immediately and I have to wait until the middle of next week, knowing that I’m flying in the begging of the week and can’t pick it up because of my work. On top of that, the setup of the bass was horrible. The action was at maxim height it can be. When I mentioned that, he replied that he didn’t want the string to touch the fretboard !!! What kind of noncensence? On top of that, he accused me of being dishonest with him about the date I need my bass. I still don’t understand how.
I paid him in full what he asked me when we had a deal, fulfilling my part of the deal. I paid $380, and he reminded me that it was $390( which I forgot) .
I was so frastreted and didn’t want to deal with this greedy man.
Until the end, I was keeping hope in my heart that he at least would ask to pardon him and reduce the price, but there was no sorry, let’s fix it or something. He doesn’t care.

Delicious ice cream, lots of resale merchandise of every kind and description in 3 large rooms, and wonderful prices.
God Blesses, great place.
Great place to browse, and they usually have a fill a bag for a $1.00 deal on their front porch. Their ice cream is VERY good. I was really surprised to find my favorite flavor MINT MOOSE TRACKS. Picture came out very blurry, but it was delicious. Yum-yum. Staff is very friendly and helpful. You never know what you’ll find there.
I find little pieces to my whatnots like salt and pepper shakers I find antiques old ones and I look around and find the other one that goes with them so far I found several matches at Grace ministries for different old pottery bowls dishes salt and pepper shakers etc clothes I find clothes for all kinds of different individual people had a reasonable price
A very large selection of vintage items. Clothes, books, housewares, and things you didn’t even know you need. Prices are more expensive than other thrift shops, in surrounding counties. If I’m in Chiefland or Trenton, I enjoy perusing the donations. It feels good to support the work of Jesus Christ, and find a treasure.
6. Gilchrist Building Supply
Address: 1960 N Main St, Bell, FL 32619 , Gilchrist County , Florida , United States
A wonderful locally owned and operated supply store, with a bit of everything either in store or available to order. They also have a great mower repair shop on site.
Great place. Good prices and helpful staff. Local business.
Tanner is extremely helpful every time I come in to shop. All the more reason to shop local. Everyone is great there.
A well stocked, friendly, efficient full service hardware and building supplies depot. Avoid the big city stress and high prices – GBS is your local area one stop supply center. Really need to change the religious background music! Not covid conscious.
good people
Some things are a little expensive. Some things are very reasonable. Buying Lumber and PVC pipe are very reasonable
ELC Hardware is a scam run bu grifters. Stay away don’t buy.
Don’t do business with these guy unless you inspect every single piece. They delivered us doors with broken frames and diets and when I tried to return them they blamed me for the damage and would only give back half of my money back
They are crooks!!!
This place used to be a good place to go back when i was a child in the 90’s. Now this place is the biggest joke. Walk in to get banisters and knock out plugs. Told they don’t sell banisters anymore. So i ask for the plugs and an told “the electrical stuff is over there to the left” and the guy just stands art the counter even though i asked for help. After i couldn’t find what i was looking for my dad went over and got the guy. He came over for a minute and said he’d be right back. He left for a few minutes and came back playing on his phone. At which point we’re told they don’t have what we need even after being told they didn’t have them. Don’t waste your time here. This place is ridiculous. Wish it would go back to how it used to be. If i could give 0 stars i would.

Address: 950 SW Main Blvd, Lake City, FL 32025 , Gilchrist County , Florida , United States
Great staff and many available services. Plenty of music books, great variety, and selection of merchandise.
Very friendly and professional staff!!
First Street has an amazing selection of instruments.
This is a great store, tons of instruments, and a very friendly staff! They offer music lessons for a variety of instruments and vocal lessons as well. Prices are high, but you get what you pay for.
My two times being to this store have been a mixed bag. The first time i went I received some of the best service I’ve ever had at a guitar store. The gentleman helping me was enthusiastic, sincere, and a huge help with finding gear and getting suggestions. This Saturday i went though and it was absolutely terrible. Both the men working acted like overly reluctant Walmart employees when helping me (I was there to buy a guitar) and treated me like a nuisance. When actually finding a guitar and talking about purchasing it one of them walked away and went to the backroom and started loudly playing trumpet. The other gentlemen wasn’t any better when talking to him he just kind of ignored me. It was so bad I left and just got the guitar at a different store instead. Which is a real shame because it left a terrible taste in my mouth despite my first visit being so great.
I took my clarinet to be repaired over Christmas break. All it needed was some pads and corks replaced. It took them TWO WEEKS to get it back to me. When I finally did get it back, they had only replaced ONE of the corks they had been asked to (they marked at least three that needed replacing), and NONE of the pads. For that one single cork, they charged $27.
Over priced for what you get. Cheaper in liveoak . More selection. Or better to buy online
Decided to sell my 2017 fender Stratocaster and a spider four amp which probably retail together for about $600 they offered me 175 I counter offered 200. Then when the manager came she just said no altogether. That’s fine they’ve lost all my business I was gonna buy $1000 guitar and I was gonna take music lessons from them now I will do neither I went right up the road I sold it for 400 good for them. I will also tell all of my friends not to shop there and I have many.

Great deals using there digital coupons. So easy, just download app, clip coupons, @ checkout add your number @ kiosk and watch your retail total go down and pay less out of pocket.
I love the variety but the amount of stocking boxes was in the way was slightly annoying.
Sometimes it’s a good place to shop. Lately they never have the sale items! I sometimes go back as many as 3 times in the week and the items never come in.
Fine
Never anyone behind the counter
Manager has an attitude and u dont get help like u use to
I’d give them less than a 1 if possible. The store is always a disaster. Have attempted to do online pick up, but apparently they can’t fulfill that. The orders are always canceled. Save the time& Shop elsewhere, this store sucks!

It was far better than even imagined. Loved it JT is the man took all the time it took to make me feel comfortable with my purchase
Great place the guys are knowledgeable, great atmoshere and the prices are great!
Great place to go for music
Nice “little shop” I say it this because it run locally not a nation wide ” I have to look into that” kinda place.
Much larger then appears from the out side!
Had all the ECT.. I was looking for plus some things I didn’t plan on seeing.
Great bunch of folks running it.
I’ll be back and I live over and hour plus away.
Always my go to location for rental equipment
Drove two hours to buy a uke to find out they are closed all-day on Sunday. You may want to change the hours on Google maps and your website.
Rating is based on one bad experience in this establishment. I arrived and was looking at starter bass yet they offered. I did not like the Amp that came with the set. I asked the gentleman that was helping if I could upgrade to a bigger bass and pay the difference, he explained he had to ask his manager. Another gentlemen came out who was nicely dressed and said he was the manager and he would allow me to exchange the bass for a upcharge. When I was ready to checkout another guy comes over rude and says he isn’t gonna allow it. When I explained the manager said he would do it. This gentleman very rudely said he doesn’t sign the paychecks I do. Now I have always lived by a couple major rules on being your only as good as your word. This establishment did not live by there word.
Owner is not a man of his word.. and tries to rip you off ..I prefer Guitar Center.

Decent small. Town bar , has 2 pool tables , darts had fun
The staff was nice. Not a large selection And a little high on the prices.
It’s a small quaint place to enjoy a beer or mixed drink for a cozy experience. There’s also dart boards an pool tables. An they have plenty of seating. They also have holiday pot luck meals. It’s outside of Trenton Florida about 11 miles. Very laid back an friendly patrons..
Hate this application. …DID NOT VISIT!
Not the best bar very expensive… And lots of drama
16. My Cozy Corner , Online Sales/Indoor Sales by appt.
Address: 620 NE 8th Ave, Trenton, FL 32693 , Gilchrist County , Florida , United States
Greatest Place Ever!! Send both my kids to play the drums with Sam. Great teacher and very patient.
The privet lesson instructors are top notch and friendly. I am taking lessons from two of their teachers currently and may take some lessons from another of their instructors in the future. Prices for lessons are reasonable.
The proprietor was snarky, smarmy, and condescending.
There is no reason for anyone to visit this establishment, all I found there was a millennial with a dead eyed thousand mile stare, an utterly useless human being with no inventory.
This place only has guitars and drums if you are looking for tambourines I suggest Amazon
18. Big Brown Record Town
Address: 456 SW Columbia Ave, Lake City, FL 32055 , Gilchrist County , Florida , United States
It’s a great place to learn guitar and make new friends. The staff is very friendly.
Except the owners of Dixie Music Center Dottie and John are both very friendly and very helpful. They answered all of my questions, and only sold me the equipment that I was looking for without trying to upsell me.
Awesome place
Owner very knowledgeable.
Had just what we were looking for at great price
Cool space. Got a cool uke with a trade. Okay on the bargaining…
