Long story short he was not nice had zero value for my time spent going there and so Buyer beware charges me 15% open box I say what about the 45 day return it's been 5 days this man was so aggressive there was no meet in the middle when I said I'll keep the telecaster and buy the Jackson and u will make more profit Anthony did not want to here it so I said do u really want to lose a customer for 50 bucks he said I don't care I said really so I cancelled my lesson package that I bought went to sam ash and bought a American Tele for 1600 and the Jackson for 450 and signed up for lessons.

I have been wanting to buy my first guitar after practicing on a borrowed for some time now. I have been researching guitars online and thought I had figured out what I wanted, but after spending some time in the store I realized I was way off base!

From the moment I walked in, Aaron was very helpful. I explained my situation and he listened patiently (like I am sure he does with every new player) before walking me over to the acoustic room. Aaron started pulling guitars off the wall and left me to play on my own (good for me as my only audience has ever been my dogs, even the wife won’t stay in the room for more than 5min). Aaron would come back every once in awhile to check on me and pull some more down to try out (including what seemed to be the most expensive guitars in the acoustic room).

Before going in I thought I needed to buy a Martin and spend at least $600 to get a guitar I would like, but all I can think about after being there is the $250 Yamaha that sounded great to my ears. Who knew spending some time in a store could save you money.

Thanks for the help Aaron! Hope this review is fair trade for not buying anything. Though I wish I had bought that pic you let me use - that was definitely a...

This store has just about anything you could need musically, I believe. I walked around quite awhile, there were a lot of employees in the store, some in different areas like percussion, sound etc...

Got a compliment on my hoodie I was wearing, but never once was I asked if I needed any help until I had picked a book out I thought might help me and went to check out. Now I want to say this person was as helpful as he could be, and he was once I got to the checkout but it was also the same person that had walked past me and gave the compliment on my hoodie never once asking THEN if I needed any help. You were the 3rd Guitar store in a week that made me feel either invisible or like I didn't matter. You know who you are, so the more I thought about it, I appreciate the info, however, no you do not get to play something so precious and sentimental to me just because I shared my story with you and you want to get your greedy little hands on it, after the way I was...
