Our hosts were so kind and and gave us all their attention on short notice. Beautiful family owned small winery, great Tempranillo. If you like to support small wineries, this place is a must. Thank you Vickie and Pedro!
Excellent wines all around!
This is always one of our wine stops when we come to the Central Coast. Out of hundreds of options we return here because it feels like home. Peaceful and beautiful country views, very much worth the out of the way drive. Vicky and Pedro are two of the nicest, warmest people you’ll ever meet. We are club members and whenever we cannot visit and get a couple of cases of wine, we order them online, something we don’t do anyplace else.
For some strange reason, of all our club shipments, theirs always arrive very fast, which is nice because we don’t have to wait.

Great customer service, atmosphere, and overall experience. 10/10, would rock again.
Great spot!! Matt is the greatest! He helped me with my D-18 CORT!
Thank you Matt!
Nice little place. Have gone in a few times for reeds and picks. Staff is really nice and helpful.
I will say that they advertise that they have music teachers who offer lessons there. And say to call for availability… don’t waste your time. I called six times (in a month) to inquire about violin lessons and left messages each time, never heard back. Finally go in, and they say they don’t offer lessons for her age, not a big deal, it just was an irritant to not have messages returned.

Bought the green mountain smoker great price and has plenty of stock
Daughter loved it a bit pricy
Great if you’re looking for First Act gear.
Rude person at counter. Would offer a zero if available.
Called to inquire about an inventory of instruments. Guy on the other line who answered was rude. Not friendly, seemed like it was a hassle for him to answer my questions. I thought, we’ll, not everyone is a phone person so I decided to go in and look for myself. Walked into small store, no one else was inside but the guy. I wasn’t greeted and the whole time the guy was at the computer smacking his lips eating something. Since it was empty – it’s all you could hear. I was a serious buyer and was turned off by the guy and the stores lack of professionalism.

Address: 775 Mission St, San Miguel, CA 93451 , San Miguel , California , United States
We are so happy that we stopped by this Mision, we attended the Holy Mass and were blessed to be here.
Hermoso lugar gracias a dios fuimos a ver a mi san Miguel arcangel
Loved the museum artifacts. The curator did an awesome job with signs and descriptions. This missions shining star is the painted frescos in the church. All originals!!!! Highly recommend this one!
Only mission that still has original frescoes. Great gift shop and self guided tour.
The Mission was closed but walking around, seeing the structure, the hard work that went into building this monument of Faith was inspiring. The Bell tower, the grounds with restoration underway could not hide the size , beautiful yet simple architecture evoking the time it was built.
It’s a nice place
Friendly staff. The San Miguel Mission needs funding to restore. It was nice that the mission was still there with some of the past history.
Good facts
People died here

They were so nice and the supply is there! Waaay better than any guitar center! Bought a new tenor uke for an amazing price! Thanks everyone!
One of them to maximum 3 music gear guitar stores et C. Staying in business so that guitarist like I can walk in and buy something off the shelf still. I don’t mind buying things online but walking into a guitar shop is an experience in and of itself. Go there, use their services by gear, from what I can tell they sell used instruments so that they can stay afloat. I have plenty of new things too specially strings accessories and stuff like that, but these places are becoming hard to find and need the support the community so get your ass in there keep the music alive.
I drive 80 miles to get there cause they are great
Like.
Good music store, good instrument’s, but not much parking, and the location doesn’t really give the business the store front draw!
Hard to find,but they have what you
need or they can find it
Dan Ernst Owner of grand central music is a Scum Bag with a Capital S.
Bought a roland jx10 from him in feb 2013 said he had it professionally cleaned cause one of the keys did not respond.( shoulda took that as a sighn right there that this would go south.)
Got the roland a week later patch buttons did not work cardtridge port was busted cause he shipped the cardtridge inside of the synth and the internal battery was dead.
Talk to him about going to repair man he got upset and said his repair man pro clean it and made sure it was in running order.
Took it to repair man costed 166.00 he begrudglingly said fine send him receipt.
So rapair man did two weeks go by no response.
The owner is a bs’er and a finagler.
Do not support.
Do not trust.
Eventually we will cross paths Dan.
Thats not a threat.
Thats a promise.
I ordered the bass a year ago in this shop! But so far, they can not send me a bass and do not return the money! What are the problems? I do not know! And nothing intelligible do not meet!

Hands down, my favorite guitar store on the planet Earth!
Awesome. Tons of guitars, electric and acoustic, and a bunch of other related instruments; way more than any store I’ve been in, including the big chains. I was looking for one particular acoustic that I had researched online (and saw something related at the big box guitar store) and figured I’d pop in just to do due diligence, figuring they would not have it and/or it would be more expensive. Wrong on both–the selection was amazing, and the price was good. Plus, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable, nice, and make you feel welcome to browse and test everything out. Just a great place.
Well my buddies the guitar guy I’m just along for the ride and bored so I figured I’d pass the time doing something lol there’s a lot of guitars here that’s for sure
Best guitar shop on the central coast!
Friendly staff and great selection of guitars.
Bought the Dean Soltero honey flame burst from there. Half off of 800.00 so I should’ve known there had to be a flaw in it. I was so stoked that they fed off of that knowing I’d most likely buy that guitar, I assumed they just wanted to get rid of that older model. Took it home and noticed a buzz towards the 12th fret and on and on both 6 , 5, 4, and 3 strings. Raised the saddle and bridge a bit but still a buzz. Took it back a day after the 3 day return policy because it was my only day off that week. and the owner proceeded to tell me it was a environment thing that the change in temperature made the neck bend. He adjusted the neck but still to no avail. He went on and on as if To tell me I didn’t know what I was talking about and insisted it was the weathers fault. Still spent close to an hour trying to adjust the truss rod but still did not remedy the buzz. Then he kept telling me I play too hard on the strings and that he couldn’t hear nor feel a buzz, almost to the point where he was almost implying that I was stupid. I kinda alluded to exchanging the guitar but he insisted it was me. Needless to say I loved the guitar and had hoped it can be fixed. Now I moved a good 10 hours away from SLO and I’m stuck with a guitar that buzzes no matter what I do. Nice selection of guitars though. Curse this shop if I can’t get this buzz out and end up having to take it to a professional. Buyers beware.
USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PURCHASING A GUITAR OR ANYTHING FROM GUTIAR HEAVEN!!!!! a “JOHN LENNON REVOLUTION CASINO #338 OF 1965 WAS SOLD TO ME IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,459.40 PLUS TAX.
THEY TOLD ME IT WAS COMPLETELY ORGINAL AND I HAVE E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE TO PROVE THIS!
COME TO FIND OUT AFTER SEEING OTHERS FOR SALE, THE CASE THEY INCLUDED WITH MINE WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL CASE FOR THE GUITAR! IT DID NOT HAVE JOHN LENNONS ART WORK ON THE CASE!
I FEEL SO CHEATED AND ROBBED!! CONFRONTING THEM ABOUT IT THEY SAID “SORRY WE CAN’T HELP YOU”!!
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU USE CAUTION WHEN BUYING SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE “IN ORIGINAL USED CONDITION”. ACTUALLY I WOULD ATTEMPT TO FIND THE PRODUCT ELSEWHERE AND FROM A ****REPUTABLE DEALER****!!!!!
I have lived here all my life, and I went into this story for the very first time just the other day, because my son plays guitar now, and we needed a new string. The women that works there was very rude to my daughter, she stayed with me the entire time, and she knows the rules (don’t look with your hands, look with your eyes) my daughter is very well behaved, she is homeschooled and suffers from a rare illness that has caused her to grow up allot faster. This women obviously had it out for my daughter as soon as we walked in. She followed behind us the entire time, and if my daughter even looked like she was about to touch something she would jump right in, and either push her hand away, or tell her to not try to touch it…. finally right before we left my daughter was looking at a little table with guitar strings attatched, she strummed one string one time! And the lady grabbed her hand shoved it away, and said don’t touch, you don’t know what your doing!! Ok? Ok? Ok? Say ok! My daughter said no thank you and turned away. The lady said no thank you? Really?….the only reason I did t leave sooner was because they had my sons guitar, but I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER go in their again, that lost my business and anyone else I know that plays instruments!
