Sparks Music — Local services in Arkansas City

The instruments that are all in this store are all in great condition and very reasonably priced. However, the first time I walked into this store I was with a legitimate famous musician and both of us had plenty of money to buy anything we wanted in that store, regardless, they treated us both like filth. I waited to leave my review because I thought it might just be the people that worked there at the time. I went back today and it was even worse. I've traveled around the country. I've been to very, very many music shops. I have never been treated worse in any other store. Everyone working there immediately started stalking me and my friend while we were looking around. I was actually heavily considering buying one of their guitars they had for 450$ but after how rude they were to me, I decided I would look for the same guitar online and probably save some money anyways. You guys need to treat people better and not assume they're not buying anything. You guys made me feel like a burden and not a customer. I have multiple friends that are musicians coming through and visiting me in this area all the time and I will never ever recommend them go here. There are plenty of practical reasons for someone to pick up an instrument and try it other than just buying it in that moment. In fact, if anyone is reading this and has some time to waist, go in there, play their instruments act like you're going to buy it and then leave without buying anything. Again, the rudest service I've ever experienced in...

Extremely beautiful setup for musicians. We had been wanting to go in everytime we have passed thru Arkansas city. Sadly, we were extremely disappointed would the treatment we deserved. My son and my son in law were looking at a few things while I was about 15 feet away, when my son asked about trying out a guitar. She asked him "Well do you have money to purchase one?" He said I don't have any money but my... she cut him off and said no you may not . I approached the boys and told my son to come look at something. I told him to let me ask. When I went back up to the counter and was waiting on her to come back up there, I overheard her talking to what looked to be her grandson. He asked her if we were getting a guitar and she chuckled, proceeded to say "no they are not, they're poor". I told the guys we were leaving and as we went to go towards the door my son saw some fender hats and was checking them out, she got up, came over and kept her eyes on us the whole time. I don't appreciate going into a business an being made out to be a poor person or like we are going to steal something. Maybe next time, try not to judge someone because a 16 year old boy says he has no money. He was correct, he had no money but his...

probably the best experience purchasing a new guitar. my Martin CEO 8.2e arrived via UPS with zero hassle and packed like fort knox!! in hand description from Roger Sparks was 100% accurate and bs free. setup was truly white glove and professional. Roger wanted the strings relaced and he also had the tech check for any setup issues. perfect action and appearance. i give some credit to Martin for making a really nice custom. Roger and his staff are down to earth and really good people. no need to shop the major instrument chains. competetive pricing and unbeatable customer...
