Hey! Just wanted to give a shout out to Brandon Toney of Renown Music in North Little Rock. Took my MusicMan Stingray to Brandon to do a set up. My bass came from the factory in virtually unplayable condition. Brandon was able to adjust the neck, bridge, pickup height, and intonation to put my bass into perfect playing condition with a set of new strings which I provided. And he did all this work in the space of one-hour! He thoroughly explained every adjustment he made on my bass. Brandon clearly has masterful skills when it comes to servicing guitars. And he’s a great guy! I was about ready to trade-in my MusicMan but now, after Brandon got his skillful hands on it, you couldn’t pry this bass out my clutches for any amount of money! It’s a keeper! I highly recommend Brandon to anyone in need of guitar repairs. Thanx Brandon for a job well done!
Brandon is the go-to guy for all repairs or enhancements on your guitars! Quick turnaround service and I wouldn’t trust my guitars with anybody but Renown!
No better place to do business. Purchased several guitars here and had repair work done on vintage instruments. Work is better than factory. If you have any doubts you are welcome to see what he has done on my instruments.

Always nice to us!!!! Great prices and they know what they are doing.
Fantastic place in every way. Amazing selection of instruments with the best pricing I’ve seen, great service, Guido and staff are wonderful folks to deal with. Two of my favorite guitars in my collection I have Guido to thank for. Highly recommended!!!!!!
Love the store! NICE!! Large selection of cool vintage guitars and amps. I’ve been a customer for along time,and they have always been good to me.
Great service and reasonable prices.
Does anyone know if $5 is a fair price for two plastic bridge pins we bought here? We also bought a string which was extra, so the total was well over $5 according to the receipt, which I kept. Seems like you can find six bridge pins for $5.99 online with free shipping. Wondering what the price for a full set of six bridge pins is at this store? I’m guessing $15? Just asking… (update Jan 10, 2019: Big Event on Grand sells bridge pins for 75 cents each, as opposed to $2.50 each at Guido’s.)
This is easily the worst guitar shop I have ever been in. His prices are outrageous for the cheap faulty equipment he sells. The 15$ guitar amp cord I bought from him recently broke within a week. WITHIN A WEEK , for 15$ I could have gotten quality cord. He treats customers as poorly as he let’s his shop look. If you want to buy shoddy guitars , faulty equipment, and be treated like garbage that has sat on the curb for a month then go ahead and buy from this crook. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING HERE , if you need a guitar for someone who’s never played and you don’t what you need look elsewhere . Buyer be warned.
I bought a 1949 Gibson LG3 from Guido at the Arlington Guitar Show this past weekend that he stated to be all original. Within 24 hours I discovered the bridge had been replaced which effects its value greatly. I asked for some compensation for this change & Guido refused to give me a break on price & refused to take it back. He stated “I should give him back money from our last transaction or he would do nothing for me”. Is this how you want to be treated by a so called expert ? There was no offer ever made to buy back both guitars back from me at all. Never again will I be burned by Guido !

Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Martín del Río , Arkansas , United States
Great little music shop good selection of guitars awesome staff very friendly
Gotta enjoy this place. I mostly go for strings for my guitars, primarily D’addario, Dunlop, and Exlir, which they carry here. I’ve bought the handful of others, though: straps, picks, cables (Stagg, to be exact). All solid and worth it. Quality stuff here.
Great service!
Great local music store. We have shopped here for years.
Not to bad
Rude
Good place to buy guitars, don’t ask them to fix anything you own uness you want it damaged.
4. Saied Music Company
Address: 3259 S Yale Ave, Tulsa, OK 74135 , Martín del Río , Arkansas , United States
Pro service and no Guitar Center BS. Good folks selling the good stuff at decent prices.
Love Saied Music! They are always so friendly and the most helpful people. I recommend them for anything you need musically for yourself or you kiddo that is in band. I’ve never been in there and not received top notch customer service. The place they use for repairs is also great. They get your instrument back so quickly. Again, LOVE Saied Music.
They are always super helpful and friendly!!
They helped my son with a good deal on a Yamaha electric guitar bundle
been there once, helpful staff helped me find what i needed
I showed just before closing and they were very helpful and in hurried
The staff here are abysmal. If it were not the only music store in Tulsa, they would be out of business.
Horrible customer service
I went back to the store after buying a saxophone and an older man passed by me and went to the repair area. While he was back there I overheard a shameless conversation where one party was saying things such as black people being loud and inconsiderate was part of our culture. They won’t be getting any more of my business.
5. Ro-An Music Studio & Lessons
Address: 19231 I-30 Frontage Rd, Benton, AR 72015 , Martín del Río , Arkansas , United States
Excellent teacher. He has very flexible hours and is fun to work with while learning your instrument.
The instructor is very knowledgeable about the way he teaches guitar
I started playing guitar 30 years ago. I was pretty consistent for the first 15 years, but the last 15, not so much, so I decided to call Ro-An. I knew of Gary, but didn’t know him personally. I have had 2 lessons with him so far, and I can’t believe how much I’ve learned in such a short time. I was pretty much playing in circles and felt like I was stuck in a box. He’s shown me things to help get me out of the box. Gary really simplifies things and explains the guitar in a way that’s easy to understand. He enjoys it too, and you see that when he teaches. I highly recommend guitar lessons from Gary whether you’re a beginner or advanced player.
6. Saied Music Co
Address: 9320 E 71st St, Tulsa, OK 74133 , Martín del Río , Arkansas , United States
Quality instruments. Very helpful staff. Top notch customer service. Very satisfied.
I needed some guitar picks and looked at some guitars nice place fine crafted instruments
Very friendly customer service. Great prices, I had a very positive 1st time experience.
Good prices and great selection.
Great products for wind instruments. The rental agreement for students is high. The contract will run more than the instrument is worth. Best to purchase instrument outright.
Friendly staff and good people. Service is good, prices are on the high side.
It was a long wait to check out. The computer is really slow. We were in a hurry and ended up going to a different store to get what we needed. This was the second time we had that experience with the slow computer
Good customer service. I purchase tambourines here.
Customer service! Very bad, why any one is happy , please put a smile in your face! and love your job. customers deserve better atencion not matter what! please.
