Very friendly and helpful staff<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It was my first time there. Was helped by Nick restring an ukelele. A very educational experience. I\u2019ll go back for any other guitar or ukelele needs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019m a novice and Tony answered all my questions without ever making me feel awkward. The store is nice and filled with great new and used guitars. Helpful, interested in adding to your experience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Not bad of you don\u2019t mind waiting your turn to get a staff member \u2013 even while waiting at the deserted check-out. Notoriously under staffed by preoccupied staff.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The person who helped me sold me an overpriced piece of equipment without letting me know what the price was before we got to the register, and the price was not posted above the item on the Shelf even though surrounding similar items all had the price visible. In the end the piece of equipment isn\u2019t even working so I\u2019m going to have to return it. Very disappointing to say the least. And a massive waste of time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Some of the most inept, poorly trained employees I\u2019ve ever seen. They\u2019re all stressed out. Unable to execute the most basic transaction with any efficiecncy. Customers waiting. The store looks completely unorganized. I am reminded why I avoid this place.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Came to this store in a pinch because I needed a guitar amp speaker cabinet ASAP. I walked in the store, with cash in hand, ready to buy a cabinet and nobody helped me. Stood in the guitar\/amp section for 30 minutes trying to find someone to help me. When I asked the guitar tech behind the counter near the guitar\/amp section of the store for help, he stated \u201cYou need to find a guitar sales rep for help.\u201d At that point I remembered why I never go to Guitar Center. If you\u2019re an experienced musician who knows what he or she wants\/needs in terms of their gear then go to your local mom and pop music store if you have one or order online for zZounds, Musician\u2019s Friend, or Sam Ash.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
This guitar center is a pile of garbage. None of the synths on display work correctly. The \u201cpro audio\u201d manager knows nothing about the equipment he\u2019s supposed to be selling. The employees couldn\u2019t give a crap if you were there or not. The place was a mess. Dirty. Realy dirty.<\/p>\n

Had this been my first experience with a guitar center I would live the rest of my days telling everyone what a horrible company they are. And I would never step foot into another one. It\u2019d amazing to me that so many things about this location drove me to a higher level of total irritation.<\/p>\n

If I could give it no stars I would.<\/p>\n

Drive a couple more miles and go to the GC in Roseville. At least they pay attention to you if you have any questions. And all the merchandise works as intended for demonstration. Oh and it\u2019s clean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Paid for a Dave Smith online 12\/16 and website stated will ship 3-5 business days. Waited until 5th business day and still no shipment. Called and spoke with Jerry. He stated the price was not right because it went up $500 after my payment was processed. Spoke with Fabian and someone else who claimed he was only the middle man. They stated I would need to pay $500 more. After 3 phone calls and 2 emails (which they did not respond to), all initiated by me, I finally decided it was a waste of time and requested a refund. They could have notified me sooner but they did nothing and left me hanging. Not professional or honorable at all. Total 12 days wasted on non communication. My husband\u2019s hope for a Dave Smith smashed during Christmas.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I order all my volleyball teams warm-up shirts and hoodies through Tony he is super talent and I am never disappointed with what I order.

I love Sac Valley Guitar! Eric has been like family for two generations now. He was my son\u2019s electric bass instructor and my daughter\u2019s electric acoustic guitar instructor. They loved him and thought he was the most fun music teacher they ever had. Today Eric does my guitar lessons as well as coaching with putting the rurig music to my lyrics. It\u2019s always been a pleasure working with Eric and I don\u2019t expect to stop anytime soon. Rich is also great, he helped me tune and string a guitar out of nowhere just to be polite whiIe I waited and gave an interesting history lesson as well. Clearly the instructors here know their stuff.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I think his name is Aaron, super helpful, friendly, and goes out of his way to be informative. If I can give stars just based on him then it will be 5. Unfortunately, the other front person, female late 20\u2019s not so much. There was also an older technician that was so nice and helpful, I give him 5 stars too. Stars taken away was for less brand choices, price point, and less instrument choices. I think their main focus is school band instruments. The place looks clean, and they have enough staff to assist.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
This would be zero stars but a plug is warranted for John Doolittle\u2019s sax lessons at the store of which I availed myself a couple of times. Zero stars involves me taking my alto sax there for repair. It\u2019s over 50 years old but has had some restorative work done; fairly significant when I started playing again regularly about three years ago and more minor work several months ago and again following my unpleasant experience at Tim\u2019s, the former by Kline Music and the latter by The Music Store in Rocklin. The guy at Kline is particularly known for his competence. The purported lead expert on reed instrument repairs at Tim\u2019s told me my Selmer Mark VI needed a $1500 complete overhaul and they wouldn\u2019t touch it for any lesser amount of work. The guy in Rocklin then fixed it for $65 and it plays just fine, as it did before it started acting up shortly before I took it to Tim\u2019s. I played in church today and was complemented on my tone by their music director, who is a school music teacher and fellow owner of a Selmer Mark VI. An instrument in need of complete renovation obviously could not produce such a result. I got a different feel from the store than I did when I took lessons from Doolittle at the old location. Maybe they\u2019ve bitten off more than they can chew financially but they\u2019ve certainly lost my business.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I have purchase and rented instruments here before. This time, five different staff said they would help, apparently what I wanted was not in stock and instead of letting me know, all left me waiting. After quite a wait we decided to leave. Someone caught us leaving and took our number to call and figure out how we could get ahold of the instrument. That was over 8 weeks ago, my phone never rang. They\u2019ve lost a loyal customer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It can feel a bit overwhelming the very first time you walk in because they have so much to look at! But taking your time while browsing makes it easy to spend hours upon hours here. Pricing is fair, trade-ins included, and they have a wide variety of action figures, clothing, shoes, music, games, etc. Their customer service is impeccable and keeps us coming back time and again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sold some stuff here the way it works is you write some information down, leave your stuff& they will text you with a quote eighter cash ( low value ) or store credit ( higher value then cash offered ) before day ends, staff are friendly! And store is packed ..alot to see. Don\u2019t bring kids if you are planning on not buying them anything lol. I\u2019m sure they will want everything here. Collectibles, dvds&more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This store is so fun to walk through. They have good music. I found Toscana by Andr\u00e9a Bocelli, Fields of gold by Sting, Gladys Night and Big Luciano Pavarotti. Good staff<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Very cool place. There\u2019s so much stuff everywhere! I know it would be a tough tasked just wished things like the clothes or shoes or movies were organized a little better. It\u2019s just hard to find things unless you spend forever in there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Pay u nothing for your stuff. Literally pay you 10 % of whag your item sells for. Very pricey for a thrift store. Its all mostly used stuff but they want the price of brand new stuff. Ridiculous.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I have been there a few times I bought a lot of old movies that are a little bit over priced each time I went back I bought movies. The people that work there are not helpful at all they really don\u2019t want to answer your questions I was referred there by a friend so my first visit I had a few questions. You could tell the person my husband asked didn\u2019t really want to help us! So when I called there to inquire about something I was thinking about buying whoever answer the phone is very rude. They need better customer service skills. Especially when people are spending their money!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
I went there to sale my pop collection. I know I should have gotten at least $200 to $300 dollars for what I had but they gave me $60.00. At the time I needed anything. I won\u2019t go back because there just like dimple records. They cheat you out of the money and sale it for more. I don\u2019t recommend this place. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Love This Store. Great Selections Fair prices<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
this is a really good place and I bought a lot of cd\u2019s.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

I\u2019ve Known the Proprietors( One gained his Wings a few Short Years ago) of this Unique Record Store for Well Over 29 years!! There was a time when rhey had two stores incl. One in the Heart of Downtown. The Stores has always been filled with Rare Music and Hard to Find Gems. The Gentleman who runs the Store Now is Very Businesslike But Highly Accomodating to his faithful Customers. When You walk in the Store( Or even at the Sidewalk Display of Records, CDs and Cassettes), One NEVER KNOWS WHAT You May Find. For a Return to the Time when CDs and Records ruled( before Social Media and Streamlining took Vogue), this is the Heart and Soul( Now that THE BEAT is Gone) of an Esoteric Experience and the Saga of the True Music Aficionados. If You Still Enjoy CDs or Entertain the Comebacks of Both Records and Cassette Tapes, this is the Place to begin Your Search. I\u2019ve Always Loved this Store..even in it\u2019s New Location.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s good if you want records<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
The store itself, is a little cluttered.
\nHowever, they have pretty fair prices, and some great stuff!
\nPlenty of CD\u2019s, cassettes, vinyl records of course.
\nBig complaints from everyone is the grumpy man. Not a huge deal to me, as I\u2019m going for the records.
\nDefinitely recommend at least checking the place out.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Friendly and great selections.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
They have some nice CDs and DVD movies that I could appreciate but the selection was not that great and it was more like a upscale yard sale to be quite honest<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Crook offered me $7 for Rubber Soul first press a long with signed Eddie Money Album. Took advantage of me and made it seem as if my collection was worthless. The owner is a crook. Bigger man very quiet.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Soooo rude! Stated he didn\u2019t want my \u201cseconds\u201d after I told him I had sold some to another store. He was so late in returning my initial call to sell, he missed the opportunity to get first pick. And how does he know the vinyls I had left were not what his clients might want. He didn\u2019t even listen to me when I offered classical records which he might buy as I hadn\u2019t sold any to the other store so there were no \u201cleftovers\u201d. Then he hung up on me. Certainly not the way to do business. I wouldn\u2019t buy anything from him even if the item was worth $100,000 and he charged a dollar.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Really friendly staff who go above and beyond to take care of you! Always the go-to place for any music needs or repairs!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
This music store has always done me right. From guitar string replacement to buying a guitar, their personnel always guide me to the right product. They are moving to a different location so the mom and pop\u2019s fee will be surely missed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Great staff. A pretty diverse selection. It\u2019s gotten less eclectic over the years, bummer. Go local when you can, competitive with the big box music stores.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Good service<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
These folks are always great. You have to be good with informal, but it\u2019s great because you\u2019re just chatting about instruments with other people who love instruments. You going to Guitar Center? Skip\u2019s is 10 minutes away\u2026go there after before you buy.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Skip\u2019s is a cool place to chill at. The service is good staff is grate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Was very rude! I just called to find out how to sell my clarinets and they told me I had to go somewhere else so I asked do you know where they are located and they straight up said throw it into google, it\u2019s not my job to tell you the location of music stores and hung up I didn\u2019t even get a chance to ask for the store names!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
NOT FOR METAL PLAYERS! No 7-strings at all and no pro gear. Not one high gain amp head or 4\u00d712 cabs and I did not see any multi fx pedals, HEADRUSH, HELIX, Tone Master, Axe FX, Fractal, etc. \u200d\u2642\ufe0f The store has a total Guitar Center look and vibe yet less options and poor utilization of floor space. Bummer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
First off, there are some very knowledgeable sales staff here. The lutheir does great work as well. The amp tech leaves something to be desired. I buy lots of guitars and amplifiers. I don\u2019t like wasting money, I do my best at doing my homework before I purchase. I called and talked to the amp tech who first tells me he tries when I asked him if he was the tech. I tried to have a simple conversation about tube amp reliability issues. I wasn\u2019t asking him to bash a company, just simply make some suggestions on some amps that he does not have to repair all the time. I also wanted to know if pcb\u2019s are worth it repair wise or handwired. All I got was attitude and him pushing me to the sales department. You claim you are for local musicians, if we can not have a honest discussion before I once again blow another 1000 dollars or more for another amp, what\u2019s the point in me coming to skips music for my needs? My money is accepted everywhere. I have many options. I like to support American businesses and local shops. This is the second time this business has waisted my time. I definitely did not deserve attitude. Since there is a lack of professionalism, I will not be back.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
