Great shop! Lots of small/medium items. I was looking for a large built in cabinet- they couldn’t help me but were nice enough to recommend a few other shops.
The best antique mall this side of Sacramento.
Great place to find unique things to decorate the house! Friendly and helpful staff. They always reset their selection so that it always has new things.
Pretty cool spot. A little pricy but awesome selection of records. Just a little over priced for my liking.
Lovely shop
So many items to browse
Nice and Clean Some help not Much. But I love going there take my Mind off other Things.
They have a good stock. However they are way over priced on alot of things. One cupcake pick, those little plastic things that decorate the cupcakes, they wanted $5 for one. Not one package one little plastic pumpkin that goes on a cupcake. Give me a break
One of the sales clerks is a thief
No cool

Can get help ask for help couple of men were Rude not going back there anymore!
Your employee saved me a lot of money. I walked into your store today and the employee inside your door said i had to leave my back pack at the register. Its a small bag thats my purse. I am a woman in my 60’s and it is not some big back pack. I spend a minimum of $100 every week on vinyl and some vintage clothing in your store. I always purchase enough that i get a cart when i first walk in. This is not the only place i can shop. I purchase online also but like to give my business to locals. Employee had no problem with me leaving even after i said that i shop and wear it in every week. I know you wont care nut to me it adds up! Its actually beneficial to shop online. Lastly i have purses larger than my pack, so what is the diff? At least my pack is on my back!
6. Guitar Center
Address: 3440 McHenry Ave, Modesto, CA 95350 , Salida , California , United States
We bought a used guitar here. It is quite nice except one string continues to buzz. The music selection isn’t too good, but I guess everything is available online now.
They don’t know much about instruments, tbh.
Kool place
Love this place but do not love their prices would prefer to buy local
Good customer service (VERY BAD RETURN POLICY I HAVE EVER SEEN). I went to the guitar center today and tried to return an item it was software and the policy states:
(No returns – clearance items, discontinued items, Apple hardware, opened software, software downloads, books, CDs, videos, vinyl records, etc…)
They guy had to go ask his manger and he said we do not take items back that are software. WILL NOT BE RETURING TO THIS STORE EVER AGAIN. If I need anything in the digital world I will take my business else where. Thank goodness we have the internet!!
P.S. STOP SELLING SOFTWARE!!
IF YOU CANT RETURN IT!!
Goodbye Guitar Center!!

Ordered an item over the phone. Great customer service!
Matt is a drum instructor!!
It’s a good place really. I take piano lessons there. Nice for if you don’t wanna wear a mask tho the building could look less boring and it’s in a poor area, tho I’ve been goin there for 6 in a half years
i want to buy ,but no money
Good selection on key boards and pianos in the Yamaha line.
Hola no tienes el instrumeto guitarron
Called in to ask if they had an xlr cable in stock and the lady who answered laughed and asked if I was kidding. It’s a pretty standard microphone cable..strange that I would be laughed at. I encourage that others stray away from this place and allow another shop with some decent customer service and knowledge take its place.
Will never return She Damaged my just bought brand new electric guitar Chipped Scratched handling it rough and the strings were off track
9. RustyInspirationsLLC
Address: 5321B Pirrone Rd, Salida, CA 95368 , Salida , California , United States
Something different about the attitudes of the employees. They seem more confident and knowledgeable.
Probably the best location in the area, with the largest selection.
Took my computer in because the hard drive crashed. Made an online appointment for the same day. Was quick, the place just went through a million dollar remodel.
Went to buy computer photo paper instead bought a LG 50 in TV great buy
Good not so busy
It is the only place in Merced that Carrie’s home electronics. The service is very good and they usually have whatever we need.
WORST customer service ever. Bought a stove they never called or anything to say not comming. Then said late April. Did not want to refund my money lots of excuses.
You use to be the best in customer service. Now out sourcing to others that speak barely English and typing what I can do in Google, phone help?! No help therefore will go somewhere else that wants to make money and help the company thrive!
Bad
11. Gottschalk Music Center
Address: 133 Burney St, Modesto, CA 95354 , Salida , California , United States
A little hard to find but the staff was great and informative
The best thing about Gottschalk Music is that they are very personable and will help you with your specific instrument and music needs. They will help with your specific questions and what you may need for your instruments. The repair specializes in brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn, baritone, tuba) and woodwind (flute, clarinet, saxophone, etc) instruments.
12. Roger Coss Music
Address: 1916 College Ave, Modesto, CA 95350 , Salida , California , United States
I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano and Roger Coss Music has helped me make my dream a reality.
Excellent piano teacher! I have been taking online piano classes with Roger during the pandemic and am an adult learning piano for the first time. Roger is a wonderful teacher to work with — he listens to my goals and allows for a lot of flexibility in setting my path and choosing pieces, while providing the guidance I need to achieve those goals.
I am learning classical piano and Roger always provides fantastic advice on whatever piece I’m working on. He drives me to learn pieces thoroughly without being pushy. As an adult, fitting piano into a busy lifestyle can be challenging, but Roger knows how to provide motivation and strategize with me to make sure I practice every day. He’s also extremely knowledgeable about many styles of music and music theory and recommends a number of resources — books, podcasts, videos, etc, during and outside-of lessons, to support my learning. Roger and I get along really well, so I always look forward to our lessons!
Taking virtual lessons with Roger has been fantastic. His studio has multiple camera angles, with one that provides a birds-eye view of his keyboard. I live in NYC, so the virtual lesson arrangement is essential for me, and it’s great to work with someone who has tailored their program for virtual learners.
My playing has come a long way since we started lessons together and they are 100% worth the price — if you’re an adult learner on the fence about taking lessons, DO IT!
Roger Coss is a fantastic piano teacher! He has taught our children both in-person and online piano lessons. His online piano lessons are convenient for busy families. He provides videos for the students to re-watch during the week to help them review what they need to practice. He is a fun and positive teacher. I would highly recommend him for piano students of all ages.
From the start there was great customer service, I felt welcomed and they had snacks to keep my kids busy. My manicurist did a great job on my shellac which I had a groupon for and she honored so very kindly. Overall I had a lovely experience and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Mai is amazing Love that it’s so close to my house too. When I have ideas she knows what I want. She gives the best pedis
So, I’m a new customer here and also a referral from a friend. I wish I could give this establishment a 20-star rating! I love the vibe and the ladies are so friendly and informative. I love the way my nails and toes turned out, this place cares about clean healthy beautiful nails and toes. I did not feel the need to watch them work on me like a hawk. LOL, like I usually do at the nail salon! I was comfortable and relaxed, especially with the choice of music that was feeding through a little round ball of a speaker, kind of a reggae / jazz / upbeat type of vibe. Smooth, relaxing, comfortable, music and atmosphere.
Loved there nails
15. Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch
Address: 4642 Kiernan Ave, Salida, CA 95368 , Salida , California , United States
Great Louisiana cooking in Modesto! Friendly staff and a very nice southern theme decor! Family had a great time here.
This restaurant is a gem.. Great New Orleans style breakfast. I loved the breakfast burrito, prepare to share. Best of all reasonable price Happy!
I had the best lightest not overcooked beignets since my trip to Louisiana. Strawberry, Huckleberry and apple pear Fruit compote were delightful, beside the filling. Iced tea promptly refilled by an attentive staff.
Meh.
Not gross but also everything came out wrong and the huckleberry sauce tastes like nothing.
Menu is good. Food has been good so far. Service is up n down.
aaaah it was ok
The food and service was great , I stayed at a hotel close by , charged on my debit card , then I noticed a few days later they added money on my debit other than what was on my bill ! …beware ….Steve or Jeff you can contact me…I always leave a cash tip so I can keep track of my charges…it been happening more and more not just here…
The older guy working in the front was rude
The Manger was rude won’t be coming back
16. Aurora Music Productions
Address: 1504 De Ve Ave, Modesto, CA 95350 , Salida , California , United States
We are so lucky to have such expert luthiers in our little town. Great people and great service for our local musicians. Those in the valley who usually make the trek to the Bay Area will get the same quality repair and craftsmanship right here.
I had them install 2 pickups for me: One in a mandolin and one in an octave mandolin.
The work was done professionally and quickly. I was treated very well, and enjoyed both my visits immensely. Gary took time to play the instruments and ask all pertinent questions. The cost was very reasonable for the work performed. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
fixed the saddle on my Martin d28 expertly fast and correctly. very qualified tech.
The second star is simply because this establishment has a reputation for making good violins. The three missing stars are more about character, integrity, and the love of music itself. If I throw honesty into the mix, I really ought rate this shop as one star.
But such a harsh rating deserves clarity, so I will tell my tale. I entered this establishment with a violin in one hand and a ten year old girl hanging on the other hand. The girl, having never played violin, is in love with the instrument for all the beauty and happiness the instrument has inspired in her and she has determined to invest the thousands of hours required to master it. She is however, young and impulsive, so the violin in my other hand is a loaner, the best her school can provide, and it may not be a perfect instrument, but in the hands of a budding new violinist, it is the perfect tool to test the waters and determine how deep her dedication to the instrument goes. It does however need the care and attention of someone skilled enough to replace the bridge and put on a new string.
So here I stand as one of the patrons of this little shop filled with stringed instruments. My daughter is even more deeply enthralled and excited as she’s waited weeks to see this instrument come alive again. Four people stand in front of the shop, playing together. It sounds great. She squeezes my hand even tighter. She’s almost in tears of excitement as one of the players breaks away to help us.
That’s where this sweet scenario goes wrong. What I assume is an artist, takes the violin to a cluttered work table, “hmmm and hah’s” over it for a moment, then brings the violin back and states that the violin is unfixable and unplayable.
The little hand I’m holding gets a little limp. I begin to ask questions while he goes on showing me how the strings lay against the fingerboard and digging through a small box of different sized bridges. He makes measurements and attempts to demonstrate why this violin is of no value because he can’t lift the strings far enough off of the fingerboard to make it play perfectly.
I look down at my daughter and she is failing to hold back the tears. She buries her head in my shirt as she believes her school is out of violins and without a successful repair, she will not be able to take lessons.
The shopkeeper notices, and puts on a display of making one more attempt at repair before shaking his head and saying there’s no way to fix it…however, he does happen to rent violins. My instincts had already been firing off warnings, but the distinct stench of car salesmen hit my nostrils as his attempt at an upsell continued. Needless to say, I left. I took my daughter to the car and did my best to console her as she could no longer hold back her tears. Not being a violinist, I could not be sure if i had just been manipulated, or the violin truly was trash, so I took it out of the case. If it is “unfixable,” I thought, then something must be broken because even a cheap violin is designed to play, even if it is badly. Nothing was broken.
I thought through the experience in the store. He was making measurements but not holding the ruler all the way against the surfaces he was measuring. He was being dishonest, manipulating me, and trying to play my daughters heartbreak against me.
So, still not wishing to think badly of a person without knowing, I asked around. Come to find out, this guy isn’t the only violin expert in Modesto. How could he know that I know violinists? The violin is fixable. The bridges and fake measurements he was showing me were just that, fake.
His reputation for these kind of antics is well known in the community for exactly the type of experience I have just described.
In the end, the school had found funding for a couple of new violins, and one was offered to my daughter, along with a sweet promise to help her get caught up with the rest of the class when the new one arrives.
I’d drive a long way to go somewhere else. Dishonesty is dishonesty. Play straight if you want my business.
I came in here with my daughter and Gary Vessel was very rude and creepy to her. I was asking about violins and trying to keep it normal but you can tell Gary does not have good customer service. Dont bring your kids here. I wish my daughter would have never met that man. Once we got in the car, my daughter said ” Daddy, I think that man Gary was so strange and he was so rude”. Dont waste your time here and definitely don’t bring your kids here to Gary.

Leo is great! I have been taking lessons from him for 10+ years and still learning new things. I would highly recommend him to guitar players of all skill levels.
Great teacher
20. Rasputin Music/ Anastasia new & vintage clothing
Address: Modesto, CA 95356 , Salida , California , United States
Great you’ll find a lot of of material. 100% recomended
Wow! lots of clothes and an amazing number of CD’s and DVD’s. Very reasonable prices! Got several Hawaiian shirts which were 1/2 price but looked almost new
We used to travel to the City for eclectic mix of retail entertainment and went to Rasputins Berkeley monthly… Now we get our fix weekly around the corner… I like the funky random vintage clothes that you can’t find in the Valley too… However, they need to really work on getting rid of the babies r us leftovers. It’s like a goth teenagers bedroom that still has pink curtains and a canopy bed.
Cool stuff
Bigger place than others locations, good ambience
Signs hanging all over the place for any 10 items of clothing for $30 and others for yellow tags clothing are 50% off. So I got 10 items with yellow tags but couldn’t combine the specials.!? No signs anywhere stating I couldn’t combine specials. It’s misleading. I spent almost 2hours choosing my items and spent over $50. I could have just said screw it and not buy anything but I just spent 2hrs wandering the aisles. And clothing is not separated by sizes. But they have alot of styles to choose from.
