Took a newly acquired guitar in for set-up and stringing. The whole staff were very inviting and genuinely interested in helping me out. I was introduced to a guitar tech by the name of Dan. He and I had a conversation about how I wanted the guitar set up, during which he listened intently to my preferences and concerns. He even made recommendations based on what I told him. I followed his advice and have to say he was spot on. I can say that I have no regrets and I am absolutely delighted with how well my guitar plays. Thank you everyone at Mike’s!!!
Very helpful and friendly service. Bought this starter guitar for my 15 year old and will definitely go back.
Nice guy.
Wide variety of guitars and similar instruments. Always a fun place to go to.
Nice little pocket shop to pick up some accessories and or a guitar you had no idea was there lol. Drum sticks are decently priced too although limited to two brands. I absolutely love the mascots too!

Affordable instruments, associates that are both knowledged and caring in tge musical empathies, and lessons. Great place.
This place > guitar center The equipment sounded great, the prices were fantastic and the customer service was astounding. If I could give it more stars, I would
Great place to shop or take a variety of music lessons! Knowledgeable employees and good selection of products!
The website says its open till 5 on Saturday not 3
Average music store
Good prices
Good stuff just could be better with details and price
I had to have my horn sent to Alton because this tech in Centralia is discriminatory against people with disabilities. Had to drive two and a half hours 200 plus miles and no discount for a simple repair I will never use them again thinking about taking legal action.

George, the guitar tech was excellent and a huge help in fixing my guitar. I took it the the big box store out of town and they couldn’t figure out my problem! George was most helpful and I am a customer of their’s now for life! All the staff was helpful!
Great store. The owner came out and talked to me for quite a while and I was just there to look around while traveling for work.
Great place, nice people,
A good old school music store.
It’s a really good place. Sorry, we were the ones that crashed intk the building
This place is so bad I’d rather go to guitar center and I hate guitar center. They are fine if you’re just going for lesson but if you’re doing any type of business seriously save yourself the trouble and go to any other local store or guitar center.
The entrance was beautiful the photos of all the different artist and musicians was wonderful and gave me an idea of what I could be some day. I was greeted appropriately, and they answered all my questions, but that was just what they did. They didn’t ask any further questions or give me a reason to be there and learn about the infinite possibilities of music from them and their instructors. It seemed like their knowledge of music and instruments had become just a job.
They hate drummers. Lost a sale because they were condescending to a young man I was with. We’ll be taking our business elsewhere.

The staff is always very kind and helpful. My number 1 stop for anything music related!
Love this place. New management is great!
I took in two guitars for a setup. One plays as good as it did when I bought it, and the other plays ten times better than when I bought it.
Very friendly and helpful. Nice to still have a brick and mortar music store in the area.
Really nice people, just very overpriced
Had everything we needed.
They sold me a violin for 2,000 and when I had it appraised the specialist said they cost $100 for a set of three. I will never do business with them again and I urge anyone to go elsewhere
