Hreat resale shop. Vinyl, tapes, CDs and equipment.
Some cool finds. Sometimes and you can’t find anybody working though.
Like of vinyl records and cds
A bit expensive
Probably one of the rudest people I’ve met.
We parked on the side of the building towards the front so as to unload over 200 vinyls and when little Hitler saw that he about lost his mind and started cussing profanities at us. I would suggest they put a no parking sign there and it would definitely benefit the next customer that might go in there.
Also they do Not buy vinyls they only buy what they want. As for us we will not be returning to such a disgraceful self indulgent human being.
The sad part is, is that out of the hundreds of stores, businesses, and shops I’ve been to in my lifetime this is the only one I couldn’t wait to leave and now try and forget. What a horrible experience. I will pray for this individual and do hope the good Lord forgives him.
Do not bring your records or electronics here to sell or trade. You will be ripped off. You have been warned. I brought a bunch of rare hard to find sealed hip hop albums here like a sealed OG Eminem Marshall Mathers LP and he only offered me $15 dollars, Dr Dre Chronic 2000 sealed and he offered me $10. A Beatles misprint and he said it wasn’t in demand and he would give me $5. A brand new, still in the box, turntable worth $1200 and he offered me $90. Yes I’m dead serious. He also took all of my records out of the clear covers, and to line them back up he bashed them up against the table and bent all of the sides and corners. He was also extremely rude to me and all of the customers in the store. The owner does not respect the vinyl community unless you’re making a purchase or letting him blatantly rip you off. Don’t buy records from this guy and definitely don’t sell him anything. Again, you have been warned.
The owner (Bryan) will knowingly rip you off. If you sell records to them (which I can’t recommend) make sure you look the records up on discogs and go to multiple places to get another estimate. I took some records to him and he told me he would give me $9 dollars for my 12 records. I took them to toad hall and come to find out two of them were really rare, Toad Hall gave me $413 for the 12 records.

Address: 4116 Morsay Dr, Rockford, IL 61107 , Machesney Park , Illinois , United States
Absolutely amazing customer service. Great selection of guitars. Keep it local. My only guitar stores I will go to. Learned so much.
Great store with wonderfully helpful people. Very new to playing guitar but walked in and asked some questions about restringing my guitar and lowering the action and was met with enthusiasm and kind explanations. Felt very welcome there. The work was done very fast and I was really pleased with the result. Even felt comfortable enough there to play a few notes to make sure everything was set up right (as best a newbie can tell). Ear to ear smile when I left the store.
Bought a Taylor 716ce. Randy was great to deal with. The guitar arrived as advertised, pristine A1 condition.
I will definitely recommend Randee’s and would do business with them again without hesitation. Thanks for getting me a great guitar!!!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Great place for all of your guitar needs!
Very knowledgeable and helpful.
Well, I purchased a Gibson guitar on line from Randee’s. It came somewhat damaged, but it had to to do with Gibson. The nut on the guitar was bad.
Here is the catch, this was bad from the get go, so the either did not inspect the guitar, or just past the problem to me.
I had to pay 2 in shipping to get the repair. I am waiting to see how good the repair will be.
Yet, to be satisfied.
The prices are OUTRAGEOUS, their shipping is a joke, and everything is damaged. I’ve seen the EXACT SAME PRODUCTS at Guitar Center for about 2000 dollars CHEAPER! I will never be going to this place again. Guitar Centers service might suck, but at least you get QUALITY!
Not a bogus review. You guys did a GK-3 pickup install on my guitar and your tech left a passive aggressive note complaining about the install. Such a weird reaction to claim it’s a bogus review, glad I don’t go here anymore.
Extremely rude, I called with just a question and got my call sent to two different people the latter that was rude and was just ushering me off the phone by saying he was busy. Good luck ever getting my business!
One of the best.. years and years of experience has been through all the trial and error knows what equipment is best for you band and for the venue.. will make your band sound amazing. If you got the talent to play goof, JB will make it heard and awesome lighting and effects to complete the effect
9. Rockford Music
Address: 219 James Ave, Rockford, IL 61107 , Machesney Park , Illinois , United States
Super knowledgeable. Very interesting to talk to. It’s been a while since I visited his workshop, but am planning a trip back soon to have him restore an old piece and I know I will not be disappointed. He is an amazing person to know and whether you spend money with him or not, he does not mind taking the time to explain to you in detail whatever you want to know about the craft.
Tom Asher provides superb service at a great price. I go to him for advice, especially concerning my son’s Upright Bass and cello. Every repair has been impeccable and fast. I even talk to him about my other son’s Brass instruments and he has been very helpful.
Took the time to look at my violin, clean it up and give me a spare part. Super nice guy and a master at the stuff he makes.
Rated one star cause im yet to learn. Been looking for a string instrument to dabble on. See ya soon! Then will update!

Address: 10761 Hedgeapple Ln, Roscoe, IL 61073 , Machesney Park , Illinois , United States
Nice place, knowledgeable staff, support local music!
Great one-on-one service. Not pretentious like the chain store across town. Will continue to buy from them as much as I can.
very laid-back place but the good guitars are locked behind the glass door
The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. A very wide selection. Only complaint is the smell of mold throughout. Rip out that carpet and put in wood laminate. Your sales will spike.
Kind, courteous staff but not overly helpful or informative.
Horrible wait times. I was given a wait time of <1 week for a guitar order. We called in a week later, we were told we would be called back and after 4 hours of waiting we called them to be told we had to wait another week, because their supplier didn’t have the guitar. Called in yesterday (almost three weeks after initial visit) to hear the guitar was almost in. We cancelled and got a guitar instantly at Guitar Center.
Needed a simple restring on 2 guitars. It’s 9a.m. There were 2 employees in the store. I was told that the guitar tech would not be till later so i had to drop them off. Then they said it take a “couple of days” remember now im in a music store thats slow and empty and between the two employees obviously nothing was going to get done. Fine.
So the next day Saturday i called first thing then i was told that no one had gotten to it and the guitar tech was off on. The weekend. That means i most likely would not get my guitar back til monday possibly tuesday. Why would somebody (spencer) not tell me that? Right from the get go. Also when i did call the employee said “well we have been slow so they put stuff to the side” so i went down and got my guitars back. I will just go somewhere else. This was my visit here unimpressed. I find it funny that no one there could have strung them up since they were so “slow”.
Avoid.
I had 5 string bass guitar set up it was terrible ! I told them I wanted low action with no buzz they did the opposite and stripped out my truss rod nut real bad I won’t be back
Professional, responsive, very knowledgeable and highly skilled. He really takes the time out to help you in whatever area you need. Definitely a blessing and I would recommend to anyone. Excellence at its best.
The experience I had with WillJams Beats was excellent! His professionalism was refreshing. The beats purchased were crisp and modern with a classic feel. The transaction was smooth and deliverables were instant.
For the mix/master, he was thorough and communication was super responsive.
Overall, I would recommend WillJams Beats, and already have him in mind for future projects. God bless him and anyone who patronizes his services, in the name of #ChristJesus!
Professionnel and hard working brother
15. Starbucks
Address: 1377 West Lane Rd, Machesney Park, IL 61115 , Machesney Park , Illinois , United States
Always great and order is correct. Great and friendly service
Always delish
The drive thru is always busy. Very long wait. Ibused 2 go in and order if drive thru was a long wait. Now it seems like even inside takes forever.
I am a gold card member so i frequently visit Starbucks. Usually, I visit the one on East State St. in the morning before school, but when I have a few mins to spare, I go to this one. It takes me 20 mins in the drive through at this location, over on East State St. it would take me 5 mins. Being on my schedule is a big deal, so time is everything in the morning. They have also messed up my order a few times, but everybody makes mistakes.
Good coffee ,but over priced in my opinion.
Usually quite busy, long drive through lines. Coffee was good though!
To expensive and overrated
One of the worst Starbucks I have been too! I go to Starbucks everyday on lunch. I have been there at least 10 times. They never made my drink correctly. One employee told me” They didn’t know what button to push for the classic syrup!” And giggles! I will drive a couple miles down the road from now on!
They can never get an order right even if they tried hard for a day. When you need the energy boost go own the street to the next window for a better service and accurate order.
Bize did an amazing job at our wedding! Just communicate everything you want and he will get it done! Definitely recommend!
Awesome experience best dj around the midwest plays a variety of music to please all age groups
Hands down the best DJ ever!! We have booked multiple times for wedding, private party , Quince. He can take your venue to another level with up lighting and party lights. Brian never has an empty dance floor! Book you won’t regret!
