Helpful and knowledgeable musicians. Excellent selection and good prices on instruments and accessories. Lessons available. Very popular place for music students of all ages.
It is a great place to find your musical instrument and have lessons to best make use of your purchase to have a lifetime of enjoyment of music.
Enjoyed going into the store and Cliff the store manager is very nice to talk to and very helpful. They have a lot of selection and the prices are really really good.
The only problem I have with Gordon’s is the prices I paid $23.45 for one oboe reed and to me I think that is very pricey
Rude ppl
nice music
I walked in trying to buy guitar strings Nd immediately felt unwelcomed never had a issue before this but cashier couldn’t even awnser a question bout the strings felt like they thought I was going to steal from them or something know I’ll rather drive out of town for eny musical needs
Well, unfortunately I have to agree with the majority of the reviewers here. This is not a very good music store to do business with.
Or, more specifically, the salesman/owner Gordon…yikes what a train wreck!
I traveled to Gordon’s music from out-of-town looking for a nice tube-amp for my guitar. I had spoken with a very nice lady on the phone, and she began helping me when I arrived at the store. However, her shift was ending, and she left for the day…
I wish I had left also…
Well, to make a long story short- I tried asking the owner Gordon some questions about purchasing an amplifier, he basically refused to listen to what I wanted to buy, and attempted to force me to purchase the items that he had in stock. When I tried again to tell him that I was not interested in the amplifiers that they were currently stocking, he began a long, grouchy story about how “back in his day” he used to build amps from kits….yawn* And, please sell me what I am asking you for!
Well after 10-15 minutes I could see that I was wasting my time with this person.
And so, after looking around locally, I found a wonderful music store in Benicia called ABC Music…Very Nice people who actually listen to my needs as a customer!
I then purchased a great Vox amp from them, and have been a faithful customer ever since. And my guitar lives happily ever after…:-)
Bought a used supposedly “gone through” Marshall amp and brand new guitar and boss effects system. Brought both back numerous times because the sound from one of the two was cutting out. All returns to the store provided that they couldn’t find the problem. When I returned home each time the cutting out of sound was apparent and obvious. The store would not refund my cash payment to buy a new amplifier but insisted I could trade for something else only. I took the amp to another guitar shop in Sacramento and before I finished looking around the tech had found a cold solder joint with cracks in it which should have been obvious to someone that has been in the business for years. They either knew what was wrong and were too cheap to fix it, or they due to inexperience really had no idea. I had to pay to have it repaired when I shouldn’t have had to. I will never go back again. I would highly not recommend anyone buying from them as they don’t stand behind their products. I also purchased almost $2000.00 worth of equipment from them to get screwed like I did. Thumbs down!
3. Tweed Hut Music Store
Address: 359 Merchant St, Vacaville, CA 95688 , Solano County , California , United States
Great selection and service. They have a nice selection on site and know their stuff. I got my Roland Jazz Chorus Amp here. I love it. Cheers.
Tweed Hut Music is the “go to” place for so many of my family’s instrumental needs. Sales and repairs are only two of the services provided. Their knowledge and service is always top notch. They even purchase items from customers. This resale inventory helps to keep options open for customers on a tight budget.
A friend told me about tweed hut and said I should stop by to check it out so I did. They are so welcoming there. Prices were beyond reasonable. Customer service was on point. They even have layaway. Highly recommend going to tweed hut.
Friendly folks But poor job on my guitar.
1) I took my new guitar for setup and it has the transparent pickguard, it was all dirty inside the pickguard so i had to buy the tool to open the pickguard and clean myself also few screws were popping out. (And also they took off the protective sticker which i kept for a purpose.
2) the frets were still sharp which they said they gonna file it off. So i had to take another shop to get it done and i spent more.
Drove 160 miles total and spend money for poor treatment to the guitar.
My 12 y/o special needs son walked in this store and asked for help, by using their phone to call his mom and was refused help this is absolutely despicable. I will absolutely let people know what kind of people run this store.
They had a decent selection of instruments, but I was very disappointed with how one of the workers treated my friend and me. We were playing on a few different instruments over the course of about 30 minutes, and at some point a worker walked up to us and told us that the jamming had to stop. Never thought I’d hear that complaint in a music store, especially since we were playing relatively quietly. He most likely assumed we weren’t serious about buying anything (which is far from true), but I can assure you that they won’t be getting my business any time soon. I’d rather drive the extra 30 minutes to Guitar Center.
4. Live Music Center
Address: 874 Alamo Dr, Vacaville, CA 95688 , Solano County , California , United States
Nice place to get instruments and clases to learn how to play them. I like and recomend this place.
My son did lessons there and every time he’d come home he would talk about his teacher Chris and all the similar intrests they had. He would also come home playing tons of new songs and chords! Give that man a raise.
5. Stress Free Entertainement Digital Recording Studio
Address: Little Rock Cir, Suisun City, CA 94585 , Solano County , California , United States
Trio Maxim played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and they were the best string trio ever! We found them online and listened to their music clips, but hearing them live was a whole different experience. I even requested a few songs not on their list and Trio Maxim created the arrangement to make our wedding even more personal and special! They truly were the best to work with. We highly highly recommend them and honestly cannot stop watching the wedding video just to hear them play. Exceptional musicians hands down. If you ever looked up string trio song examples online, Trio Maxim beats all the rest! Thank you again Trio Maxim for being a highlight at our wedding! Can’t thank you enough 😉
Trio Maxim was one of the highlights for our wedding ceremony in October 2020. Max was very professional, responsive, and accommodating given we had to change venues just weeks before. We absolutely loved all of the beautiful compositions they played from our playlist. Highly recommend Trio Maxim for any occasion and would definitely work with them again in the future!
Trio Maxim played at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour and were absolutely amazing. Everyone loved them and they played so many beautiful songs. They made our wedding day so special. If you are considering booking them, do it!
Great selection of vinyl even though they have 99 cent bargain LPs.
I love Collins music!!!! This place is a great spot to visit, its got everything cds dvds video games old school games recoreds comic books music equipment and more, and the employees are super cool and helpful…go check it out!!!
A great place to check out, so much you can’t see it all in one visit. Anything from music to movies to games. Awesome place with friendly staff, buy or sell a game, a movie or even a record.
True to the name…lots of old school systems. I know where to go for my old school gaming needs.
They have a very large selection of slightly used LPS at very great prices and the staff are always very helpful!!
Cool store, lots of nostalgia. Staff was friendly and seemed to be passionate about the products they stocked.
Been there twice now. Really uncomfortable feeling from the people at the counter. Not even a hello or a can I help you. Just stared at me and then looked away. Got the feeling that I was an inconvenience and not a customer. Won’t be back. I will go to another store or order from Amazon.
Overpriced games
Cashier ignored everyone in the store. Seems more interested in slowly stapling papers than trying to provide customer service.
Brad was so very helpful and I can’t thank him enough for his kindness and understanding of my unique situation. It was worth the extra drive to meet Brad and buy a new keyboard.
Had everything I needed
My son takes guitar lessons here, he’s doing great! One-on-one classes at a reasonable cost! They have all your music related needs and the staff is super friendly and helpful!
This was the first music store I found in the Vallejo area. The owner was very nice and accommodating. He led me to a studio in the back of the store to try out a bass and then later we swapped stories of meeting with world-renowned players. I also found a piece for a new bass that I recently acquired in his store. Several kids came in to buy hearts and try out instruments again he was very accommodating. I would recommend this story to anybody in the area.
No wonder local business is dying. Consumer Music has some great employees but their prices are INSANE! I called on a Saturday to see if I could come in and buy some guitar strings. The employee said they were closing but offered to stay open for an extra 15 minutes. It was a very generous offer but I waited till Monday as not to be a burden. On Monday I went in and purchased D’addario electric guitar stings (normally $5 anywhere else) Consumer Music CHARGED $13!! There were also several mediocre guitars ($400 – $600 anywhere else) that Consumer Music was charging upwards of $1000! Great employees; horrible prices.
Only real music store in Vallejo. Have a nice selection of equipment and services
Total rip off…never again, known Brad since forever and he totally ripped me off…several time’s…$$$ mean’s more to him than friendship…never again!
Absolutely terrible service!! Do not trust them to do any work on your instruments, they had my husband’s guitar for TWO months and they couldn’t figure out how to do a simple install of new pickups. They practically ruined his very expensive PRS, and didn’t even bother to offer a partial refund for taking so damn long while they ruined his guitar. Thanks for taking our money to completely screw up his guitar!!
