They were super friendly, set up bass guitars for me to try out, and gave me space while I played. When I asked for used guitars, they gave me a business card for another store with more consignment options.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Purchased a Kamaka Koa tenor ukulele yesterday from Middle C Music. The people working there were knowledgeable and very helpful. I wasn\u2019t fond of the strings that come with a Komaka ukulele. Middle C Music changed them out for me with the strings of my choice at no cost for the new strings or for the service to replace them.
\nHighly recommend Middle C Music for anyone just starting out with playing a musical instrument or who is already experienced.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was recommended to this shop by a friend to get one of my guitars set up. Had high hopes because he spoke highly of them, and the staff was very kind, and I had also purchased a few pedals from them over time. When I got my guitar back, the side of the fret board was scratched, and there was also large dent. They got it painted over and covered the cost of course, but that could only help so much. When I asked about the potential value of my guitar had i decided to sell it later down the line the response was that since it was a squier it wasn\u2019t gonna be worth much anyways. I sat with this for a few days but that just wasn\u2019t cool.<\/p>\n

EDIT: All has been resolved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After calling to ask and then asking again upon arrival of their fees to string a guitar, they tripled the amount quoted. It was an awful, exploitative experience. I planned to rent an instrument and have my children take lessons there. We will not return.<\/p>\n

In response to the reply below, the information on pricing was not explained before the service. Guitar Center has not charged me in the past and they state that they charge $1 per string if they are busy and wish to wait. I did not request you to honor their rates. I mentioned it to see if it was of your interest to honor as I was unable to get to their location. I was told it could not be honored and I would be charged $20 total for labor. You choose your rates according to your needs. Customers must be given accurate information in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Friendly, kind and helpful but horridly overpriced<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last year I trusted them to set up my brand new PRS SE $700 guitar. Still had the plastic film on the back. I purposely didn\u2019t take it to a Guitar Center because I wanted it taken care of. The cashier even noted what a beauty she was. It wasn\u2019t until I brought it back home that I noticed they made a large scratch on the back. Beware. Obviously the person they use for simple guitar repairs is careless. Just extremely disappointing and now there is a forever mark on my favorite gear!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Coming from Jersey Me an my Son walked a long walk from the Marriott Marquis to Decibel only to see the gate closed, tapped on the glass and they let us in. What a relief, The owners were very knowledgeable and the prices cant be beat. It is an upstart and filled with records and cassettes\u2026<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
