I’ve brought 3 guitars and a ukulele to Chad for setups and more detailed work. It doesn’t matter wether it’s a GS Mini or an expensive Santa Cruz He gives each instrument his total attention and the results have been fabulous and the prices VERY reasonable
Chad did a wonderful job setting up my Taylor Guitar and had it back to me in less than 10 days.
Great great great work!!! Chad took my 20 year old guitar and made it brand new again. We did a set up, new bone nut and fret dress. Everything was done professionally and in a timely manner. I would recommend Chad for any stringed instrument work. Chad was very patient with me and my son (it’s my sons guitar now) and fully answered every question we had for him. Very reasonable rates. I am very satisfied and am happy that my son has a very well set up guitar and now any wear he puts on this instyis from him. Thank you Chad.
Chad makes our old guitars play better than when new

This music store is pretty awesome they put new strings and cleaned my daughters electric guitar under $50 and that strength included and the cleaning and tuning! Plus they hooked me up with a electric guitar stand for under $12.
A fantastic place for any musician or music lover to be.
This is more than a little music store, it is a music mecca for our town. God Bless Julio And all the staff!!
It is a good store owned by good people. Staff is friendly. New location is nice with four booths being developed as quite rooms. The store is still in development, but is a good place for good equipment and no BS. I am sure it will be at 5 stars in no time. Prices are very reasonable.
Great music store in Hemet right in the downtown area. Good selection of guitars & bass guitars. I just wish they had a larger drum section with selection of snaredrums & cymbals.
Great selectiob
Left my acoustic electric guitar to be diagnosed on Saturday for no sound output. Was promised by Jason that it would be looked at and I would receive a call Monday with a quote on the repair. Monday passed with no call. I called Tuesday to check on it and the guy that answered seemed bothered and impatient with me. He said he didn’t see my guitar anywhere in the store and had no idea what was being done with it. He put me on hold for a couple minutes and looked for it, it was still in the store. He abruptly answered saying, “I found it I call you back in a little bit” and then just hung up on me. 3 hours passed and I called back. Someone else answered and said the previous employee had taken it apart and then just left for the day. No call back again to let me know what was being done. Wednesday passed, no call back. I called today Thursday and was told they sent it to their outside technician to fix it, not quote it. I told them to just bring it back to the store so I could pick it up, I was tired of the run around and lack of communication on their part. Completely unprofessional and lack of customer service here. I will never step in this store again!
Terrible place. My son took 2 of his beloved guitars for consignment sale. Every time he called to check on status, it was a different excuse as to why they had no time to answer his questions, or just said they were too busy and would have to call him back. They have NEVER called back. My son went last weekend to pick up his guitars, only to be told that they were SOLD!!! To who?? My son never received a penny!!! Ripoff!!! He was told the manager would call him right away. He’s called every single day to get restitution, no manager, no contact whatsoever!!! They sold his guitars and kept the money!!! Scam artists!!! DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! DON’T TRUST THEM WITH YOUR GUITARS!!!
Over priced on everything…service has gone bad

This is a great place..
People are friendly & helpful. Great you @ the door with a hello and can I help you. Big selection
Highly recommended

Nice friendly employees
Always have items I need
This place is the only “close” hardware store in the direct area…. and is priced accordingly… it’s a bit more expensive than the average store of this type…. and for how many people “appear” to work there… they lack personable acknowledgement… maybe I just went there on an off day?
They were friendly and very helpful with our project and had items that the bigger stores didn’t have but it is more expensive.
Staff very helpful, they take their time to answer questions.
This place has a lot of employees and stuff you don’t need. I only found 1 out of the 4 items I needed for my next project. Going to drive across town to Home Depot.
Does not compare to Lowes or home Depot. Limited selection. Their contractor area is very limited.
I couldn’t shop comfortably was hot and stuffy looks like they just opened and are not done setting up. The person that was at the register was like in slow motion so I was trying to help to place all the bar codes for her just to scan she looked like she didn’t like that as soon as we finished she got one her phone . I may give it another chance once it’s fully opened.

Address: 29800 Bradley Rd, Menifee, CA 92586 , Valle Vista , California , United States
petes music kicks ass!every time I go i walk out satisfied.
JR and big Mike are very knowledgeable! I had them set up all my guitars. They both set up my Gibson j150, gibson Angus Young SG, my gretsch 6120, and stratocasters. They were fast and guaranteed my set up. My guitars have been keeping intune and the action on them are nice and low without fret buzz. Big mike hooked my SG up it had a fret giving me trouble he looked at it and he fixed it in 5 mins. JR just set up a mahagony neck for my strat and it came out nice. I recommend them for set ups and tech issues. They carry pretty nice guitars in the Menifee store and they have a bigger selection in temecula. They range in price but very reasonable.
I had some questions about a guitar repair on 9/23/14. I called to talk with Pete but he was not there. I talked with someone else about the needed repair. He couldn’t help me and when I tried to get some more information about when Pete would return he was non-helpful and then he told me that he had “a room full of customers.” Or in other words, this phone conversation is over. Am I not a customer? Just another employee filling a seat over there. I gave 3 stars for my rating only because Pete is awesome, but my experience with his fill-in was in complete contrast to working with Pete.
In a era when local music shops are hard to find this one is a gem. Great service, great staff, fair prices. Their guitar techs are top notch and extremely reasonable…
I’m so glad they got rid of “Dr. Evil.” It was the best decision they’ve ever done in my 20 years of coming here. Buying guitar strings from him was like pulling teeth. I heard he was eventually assaulted, which is unfortunate and kind of reflects on the managers for not getting rid of him sooner.
The bearded gentleman that replaced him is worth his weight in Gold.
Give that man a RAISE. He deserves it.
Done
Very obnoxious dude
I cant say i have been to alot of music stores but this is defiantly one i wont be going back to watch out for the middle age bald guy. Literally the rudest most obnoxious man i have ever met in my life. DONT GO
The only guy we trust to tune and repair our pianos.
The piano sounded great after Carl tuned it. I definitely recommend him.
Carl responded quickly and scheduled me within days of calling. He’s detail oriented and explains the process effectively to give you pricing. And even though I was out of his area, he still drove the way over which goes to show how kind he is.
My piano sounds better than ever!
Phone number is out of service
