Up and coming music shop in Bradenton. Good selection of instruments
I ordered an Ampeg PF800 amp from this store online, and had it shipped to California. The manager answered my email questions the same day, and they shipped via FedEx (which was my preference). It was expertly packed and the amp looks and sounds brand new. I’m stoked!
Cool store
Experience wasn’t so pleasant the 1 times I visited ugh especially October 1 2020 after I spent 465 bucks for the lady in the store to be rude to meUgh
Cool place, wide variety of”stuff”. Decent prices, no haggeling. Staff wasn’t overly friendly and had to track down someone to test an amp.
A little light on the trade in prices but other than that great selection and customer service
The “owner” is not very kind and not really knowledgeable about music regarding stereo equipment. They can’t even test the speakers they sell properly to show you they work. Being a used equipment store this makes no sense. Especially after being told we are a big store and don’t need your business. Went to guitar center & got bigger speakers for a better deal anyway. Steer clear
Took my guitar and violin to get restringed, they have no knowledge or whatsoever of their trade, String Pegs are missing so strings came out.
I don’t only don’t recommend this place but I will suggest you to try a different place to take your precious instruments.
Peace and let music flow.
I first called to let them know that i am coming to try a specefic 2000$ rare 2020 Fender Telecaster and that i was 3 hours of driving away, then told me rapidly that they don’t make any hold so i took a chance and finally the guitare was there. The atmosphere in the store is very cold with almost no welcome. after switching on 3 different amp to be able to try the guitar, i found out that the bridge pickup wasn’t workin. so i told an employee the situation and he didn’t know anything about music instruments. so he told another employee and came and try to make it worked without succes. with a very bad attitude, he put the guitar on his working banch and start to try to find the problem, no ohms meter tester and no experience, as i can see, it took over an hour to find that the pickup switch was defect. so he replaced it and re-string the guitar without stretching the strings so i had to finish the work to be able to tune the guitar. i finally bought it and then pay for it and ask if there is a warranty and told me that a big NO WARRANTY without looking at you. I hope that i will never have to go back there! The real way to keep customers!!

This is a great little music store, and every time I walk in, they have more and more gear! Make sure to shop here before going to the chain stores or shopping online. You’ll be glad you did!
Janice is very friendly and helpful
The best LOCAL music shop around. Couldn’t have been more helpful! Janice, the owner, is PHENOMENAL! Not to mention her helper/greeter Ozzy! Walked in with a smile, and left with a even bigger one. Thank you Janice!
scammer
Not open during advertised hours. 2:30, Friday Mar 24th. Driving around here is bad enough, let alone doing it for no reason.
I bought something and they never sent my item. They insisted I pay by money gram, and once I sent the money they disappeared. Dishonest company
Great service, sadly they don’t have much audio equipment anymore but still very very helpful
Donde esta
Seems to have everything I need in electronic
Mark with the Geek Squad was polite and helpful. We came in early…he said it could take over night and filled out some paperwork. It was a quick drop off…we will see after we get them back how the outcome is….
They tell you to sign in for a queue yet then you feel neglected from the lack of movement on knowing your position.
They need more staff and “bang for your buck” entrance… Revamp the entire entrance procedure for this location. Uninviting.
It was ok it was weird they need to be cheaper
Check out slow bad
The 3 associates I spoke with had no knowledge of anything.
Best pawn in Bradenton. Friendly and top dollar! Beautiful too of the line Jewelry and watches ️
Great customer service really will be coming back your employee was perfect with me thank you
Good people and friends come say hi and see for yourself thank you all
Great staff very friendly, wide variety of items! Def would do business here again
Very cheap offers
Worst experience I’ve had for a pawn shop. Disrespected and guy behind counter wanted to argue
The owner offering crack head prices for quality items, you have to have a receipt for your electronics, a waste of time not worth visiting. Pawn & Value loan way better than this place.
Will not be returning. Super Rude.

Bertrand’s has everything you need for all of your music memes. They have been able to find me accessories Queen dealers in Tampa have not been able to. I highly recommend Bertrand to anyone that is looking to start playing or for those seasoned musicians
great selection of keyboards, helpful staff to answer questions, highly recommend.
Perfect place for musicians needs…
Knowledgeable on music and able to help
Very helpful staff! Great selection.
Nice people helpful

This Pawn shop and their staff are amazing. Good deals-Honest prices and they work with you. I love the stock in merchandise of every category. I haven’t been to the Sarasota store yet though but I’m happy with Bradenton. Stop by for a visit.
customer service on point
Love love love! I put a watch on layaway for my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day, and they were so cool when we came in just to look around. The whole staff was in on it, and no one said a word to him. My favorite pawn shop in the county! Great prices, great merchandise, and just a wonderful crew!!
Had great staff. Very friendly, great prices. Go to them. Huge selection of all diff kinds of stuff. Deff one of the best! I kinda wish i have been going there.
The staff is helpful and caring. Jewelry is a good selection, new & used hand guns. Great pawn shop.

This pawn shop advertised some of its bikes on Letgo. I messaged the seller about pricing and specifically referenced two bikes displayed in the listing photos. The employee went to check and informed me they were $120 each. I drove down to the pawn shop to take a look at the bikes and I was discussing the prices with the salesman who posted them on Letgo. I let him see the conversation we had on Letgo where I referenced those exact bikes and the prices he gave me, but he said he could not honor those prices and could not let the bike in question go for under $165. He stated it was a mistake, and all the pricing was wrong. I can understand that mistakes are made, but I drove from St. Petersburg to purchase the bike. It’s bad business to not honor quoted prices, mistake or not.
Absolutely HORRIBLE business. Needed 3 days to make a pawn extension, called and talked to “Jesse” who said it was fine and that he would make a notation on my account. Showed up 3 days later exactly when I said we would to find out that they had sold 1 gun, another was on lay-away and two were on the shelf for sale. “Jesse” was no where to be found or contacted and the on duty Manager was argumentative and muzzle swept me with my own pistol and became VERY HOSTILE when I politely asked him to not muzzle sweep me with a firearm. At best Jesse’s “word” is absolute garbage and at worst they are THIEVES! You’ve been warned, do business with them at your own risk…..
The worst pawn shop ever!!! I understand that I placed my item in there knowing if I didn’t pay I could lose it! I admit it! But they have always called to let me know hey this is about to be up but instead they knew they had a high ticket item and sold it with out any call or anything!!! I was too “well we needed to make money” and I understand that and you could have made money I could have came and payed it! I work 12 hour shifts all week long so when I want to extend it I can’t do it over the phone I have to pay cash in person. And they just say “sorry about your luck” I’m furious with the lack of morals this ship has. They have one job and they can’t even do it right. Not to mention they low ball you on the stuff anyways. My 1500 dollar item (that’s what it goes for on eBay) and they only gave me 450….. I’ve never been so disgusted in my life with a business before…
