I bought a Les Paul online. Luke made me a good deal on it and included some extras. He shipped the guitar fast and it was well packaged. I was reluctant to buy a guitar online, but Luke made it easy. I would recommend him and his shop. I am likely to purchase more guitars in the future after this excellent experience. Thanks Luke!
Great location, prices, and run by honest people. They moved to Vidalia right by Dominos!!
I bought a guitar online, based on a picture I saw on social media. Luke stayed in contact with me thru the shipping process, making sure it arrived safely. The guitar showed up set up well, and was in great shape. I will look to buy from him again, really a great experience all around. Thanks Luke!
Luke agreed to include a gig bag with my guitar purchase but then failed to ship it. Then the guitar arrived with extensive damage due to inadequate packaging. Luke would not take any responsibility and refused to refund for the gig bag and damage. Buyer beware.

Ben Warner & Michael Turnbo wewre absolutely fantastic!! The hospital auxiliary sponsors a fundraiser for the hospital in the form of a Platinum Ball and we have a dance after the dinner and auctions are over. Throughout the dinner, Ben and Michael played accoustic guitar and violin music and our guests were raving about the quality of their talent and the fact that they could still visit during the meal. The music they played during the dance was fabulous and the dance floor was full from start to finish. The uplighting they did for us really helped turn an ugly wall into something rather pretty too.
I would recomment Benjamin T. Warner to any type of group, wedding party, corporate group, etc. We have hired them for next year’s event already….. that’s how much we liked them.
The first phone meeting we had with Ben & Kat secured our decision to have them help make our wedding day special! The passion they have for bringing joy to others is contagious. We booked our ceremony through Elope Outdoors, who recommended Ben for any musical needs. We are so very happy that we chose to work with Ben & Kat! From the beginning and throughout our planning, Kat was super helpful in assisting with the booking process and Ben was ready for adventure! It made us feel so at ease to know that we could count on Ben to be there for our day, rain or shine. Having Ben to provide instrumentals during the hike up to our ceremony location took the wedding day stress away and made the day even more fun! Our ceremony was beautiful and Ben even stayed after the ceremony to play guitar as we danced and took photos. It was truly a magical day! Both Ben and Kat are awesome and wonderful people to work with!
Ben was absolutely perfect for our wedding! He is such a kind and talented individual. He really tries to get to know and understand the couples he is working with. He does a great job at listening to your vision and things/songs you don’t want. He is very quick to respond and accommodating to requests. Him and his family drove two hours to come out and see our venue- it was so kind! As we were walking around he played acoustic guitar and we all loved the vibe he creates. He also sent us demos before the wedding so that we could practice our dance.
On the wedding day he played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a trio (Billy and Melissa) for our cocktail hour, and then he DJed the rest of the night. They sang our first dance song (Perfect) and made it totally our own- even changing some words since we’re a same sex couple. They made us feel like we were all friends and those are the kind of people you want at your wedding. They are so talented! Ben kept the dance floor packed all night and the lighting was a great touch. I loved that he would come out on the dance floor and party with us too! During our sparkler send off, he played a drum which perfected the moment. It was truly magical because of the music. You definitely should book Ben to bring your wedding to life! He really goes above and beyond.
Overall great DJ, tried his best during our rainy wedding, we had a great dance party and I would recommend.
Felt there was a lack of communication, including unanswered emails and our track for the daddy daughter dance didn’t get played correctly so I can’t give a perfect score.
My husband and I booked Ben Warner for his services for our September 2020 wedding. We paid him for most of the services ahead of time. While COVID was still a large factor, we communicated with his business partner and wife through email in case anything were to fall through. We even discussed having him primarily play outside to stay safe. Up until a little over a month before our wedding, he cancelled on us- after several discussions leading us to believe that would not be the case.
While we totally understand a vendor cancelling for COVID reasons, we were not prepared for them to keep all of our money paid to them. They stated that because they had coordinated EMAILS to secure other musicians for our wedding, the fees we paid to them (>$800 if not more) would cover services rendered. These musicians were not going to be playing at our wedding so I’m not sure what services they meant.
All in all, I was devastated that Ben and his wife would take advantage of us and other people this way. It was heartbreaking to have to scramble and find someone else last minute when they had MONTHS to make the decision to cancel us.
I could even understand only giving us a partial refund, but they took every single penny. This was the only vendor that did this to us. Anyone else who canceled us, refunded us.
We were at fault in that our contract didn’t cover unexpected pandemics and there was no clause about them cancelling on us in the contract so we just lost our money.
While I’m sure Ben Warner is a talented musician and DJ, he does not care about their clientele. They have no problem stealing from their clients as was made evident to us later on. It felt slimy and dishonest.
There are plenty of other talented musicians and DJs in this area- consider them before Ben, especially if COVID is still around. He will take your money so fast and give nothing in return
Ben Warner failed to render agreed upon and contracted services and refused to refund any monies from deposit after he terminated.
On January 2019, we contracted services with a deposit for $627 for a June 2020 wedding. We had close communications during May 2020 to ensure Ben T Warner would be able to work the wedding worship with all of the uncertainties of the virus and executive orders of North Carolina. It appeared that they were noncommittal in April & May to the extent of recommending to us that we get another company to do the event. They canceled only 18 days prior to the event. At the time, NC actually had exceptions for weddings and funerals that allowed us to proceed. Fortunately we were able to scramble and find another vendor.

Great folks and they are straight up about things.
Great place
The Hawkinsville Opera House is pleased with the service that we receive from Southern Music and look forward to doing business with them again in the future…THANKS
This is a nice locally owned music store. Very good selection of guitars and other musical instruments. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Stop by and support a small business!
Cool

Brian & his crew helped me pull off a great surprise for my son’s 16th birthday. Not only did they give me a great deal, they made the process smooth & stress free. Definitely 5 stars… Looking forward to the next purchase!
Great Customer Service, Great Friends of mines. I would Recommend All Seasons to anybody I know!!
Great people really good service would have given 5 stars but prices are not competitive
At least 15% higher than Guitar center
Man they’ve got some nice stuff in there!
It’s ok for this size town but if you’re looking for music you have to order it. Very nice personnel.

Excellent customer service that you can only get from a small business like this one! Great staff and excellent repair work done on my son’s trombone.
The owner has always been very kind. He does quick and efficient work on any marching band instrument.
Repaired daughter’s “starter” clarinet for us. Was fast, efficient, and thorough. When asked about getting her a more permanent instrument he was knowledgeable and personable. Did not try to over sell or push any big ticket items. Asked what her, amd our, goals are and then made recommendations based upon that information.

Bought all my guitars.. Amps ..everything.. Great place ..took guitar lessons here too
Great service, friendly employees. It’s a small store, but they are fully stocked with Martin guitars!
Stan’s Music is AWESOME!! Always great service and friendly people. Stan and all his staff have always went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of.
Good selection of guitars and accessories. Keyboards – not so much (there were literally 2 on the floor and not the best quality). Should be called “Stan’s Guitar World.”
Even though I was actually looking for a keyboard, guitar prices were decent and I might have bought one if anyone had tried to help me.
I really wanted to ask about equipment rentals as well since I was only in town for a short while, but again, service wasn’t part of the display.
The staff member at the register was so preoccupied in conversation with another customer that I wasn’t even greeted when I came in, and he didn’t even bother with a “come again soon” when I left angry after about 10min of looking around and waiting.
This is the reason people skip over local small businesses to shop at national chains – like that “other” guitar store
Slightly above average. If Stan’s there, he’s a wonderful storyteller, and man in general. If he’s out and one of his employees is minding the shop, come back another time
If Stan is not there, dont bother. Just go home.

This is a great location with a friendly, knowledgeable owner, that can fix anything on a guitar (at least all my issues so far). John has also taught me some basic repair skills enabling me to service some of my own needs without having to spend any money. They teach instrument lessons on site, and are the perfect place to pick out a good starter guitar. In addition, I’ve always purchased other odds and ends such as guitar straps, strap locks, picks, strings, etc. Make sure you stop in before going to a big corporate store. All Star Music Center can save you a trip!
My son (9 years old) has been coming here for about 7 months now for Piano lessons. His teacher is good and keeps my son’s interest high (Believe me it’s not an easy task). Thankful for that.
The owner John is a cool dude, sometimes I wish I have his job. They sell many music instruments at this place and they also do repairs.
I’m not into music, but I can tell that customers are happy with the service they get.
Got some good referral here for a piano tuner which worked great for me.
They do have other teachers here for guitar and I think drums too.
Been dealing with this bloke for years, will continue 2 do so..
Guy running the store was very helpful and knowlegable.
Tienda pequena pero buen servicio
Very friendly. Awesome teachers.
I’ve been here 3 times during store hours. nobody at the store go to another shop.
Literally 4:08pm on a Saturday I show up. They were not open. Sign on the door says 10am-6pm. Very disappointed.
Place needs to just close! doubt me, go see what I’m talking about.

Domenica is super awesome! Went in with a friend & noticed they have a rent to own program. My daughter needs a new flute so i asked about it. Even though she was very busy she was very nice & took the time to answer all of my questions..we’re going to pick her flute you tomorrow
Courtney and Jocelyn are amazing ! Super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They made my shopping experience a fantastic one ! I will be coming back and referring my friends here. They deserve a raise !
Very helpful I got exactly what I needed and nothing else.
Need more and a greater variety of stock, but awesome place otherwise.
Went for a guitar setup, my guitar was returned with the tremelo bridge so low that it slammed into the guitar body cavity. Also they used lemon oil on a maple neck which is a no go for me. Did not make a scene there because my son was with me. Essentially paid $50 for a new set of strings which werent weren’t installed correctly. My guitar has locking tuners yet they still wrapped the strings. Spent 2 hours fixing my guitar myself. I would advise everyone to steer clear. If you need a guitar setup, go to a luthier.
Buyer BEWARE of unsatisfactory customer service and possible discrimination… Don’t be fooled by the cheerful “welcoming”. After completing the “rent to own” paperwork, I was presented with a horrifying, overly scratched clarinet. Asked for more options to choose from and a particular brand. I was told that it was the last one in stock and it would take a month to locate another. As I proceeded to step away from the deal/contract, MIRACULOUSLY, he offered to check the inventory again. No thank you, attempted to forcefully initiate a contract on a below standard instrument. Went to a different store and purchased a one-owner Yamaha clarinet that appears brand new. New to instrument rental, but is nobody’s fool!
Very long wait! Need more computers & staff to help!
