I went in to see if the had a Saxaphone for my son. A first year band student. Very first impression was immediate attention from the staff. The owner, maybe manager, I'm embarrassed that I don't know, anyways, he gave us a good deal in a nice Saxaphone. Through in some Reeds and a cleaning kit. Oh let's not forget the case! I was looking over his guitars, I consider myself a ok guitarists , I love looking at guitars and playing ones way out of my talent, and price range. I joked about one day buying a Gibson Les Paul like the one on his wall. He actually had 2. I left there with one!! And a Nice Hard Case, Guitar Strap, patch cords, pics, A Peavey Classic 30 Tube Amp ... and spent less then I thought the Saxaphone would cost!! 3 days later I work up the nerve to take my new Guitar for a spin... I couldn't get it into tune, intonation seemed off.. I became a nutcase quick. I walked into the shop, Les Paul in hand and he knew something was wrong. His tech. took it to the back and before too long was bringing it back. Just the slightest of adjustments to the truss fixed it right on up. I was so happy I left with a 150.00 effects processor/pedal. I've been back one time since and he's just as friendly and personable as the last times we met. I went in looking for a used Fender..fell in love with a Gretch. Getting ready to visit his shop now for some strings. They make it hard not to buy that Gretch just to support them and keep them going here in Canton! I will never buy from another guitar superstore again! It's hard to imagine anyone else getting...
Read moreI was looking online for a local music shop because my ukulele had some minor damage that I was looking to get fixed. Once I found the Canton Music Shoppe, I called them to find out how much it would cost to fix. I spoke to Adam who was very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. The price for my repair was more than fair, MUCH better than what I was expecting. And he did a great job with the repair too. My ukulele is perfect now and I couldn't be happier. The other staff members at the store were also very friendly. The instruments they sell there are all fairly priced too. The whole experience really brightened my day. Even though I didn't spend much money at the store, I was still made to feel like a highly valued customer and for that they have earned a new loyal customer in me. I will be going to them for all my future instrument needs and purchases.
This is why I make it a point to support local business over major chains whenever possible. The Canton Music Shoppe gives you a level of customer service that you just don't get with large chain music stores. This was my first experience with The Canton Music Shoppe and it certainly...
Read moreCannot say enough positive things about this place and the staff. Brennan is a class act, and one of the best in the business, perhaps THE BEST. Only place I take my gear for repair/ modification.
Brennan installed brass nuts (which had to be custom fitted) on two of my guitars. He also installed a JFET buffer on board my PRS, replaced the pots, and installed micro switches for the coil taps... The guitar sounds beautiful, in fact, Brennan fell in love with it while working on it!!!
In addition to being very knowledgeable, the shop goes the extra effort of seeking answers if they do not have them. In my case, Brennan contacted the manufacturer of the buffer and extensively researched the proper installation and tone results.
Communication is second to none. The shop is very clear up front on completion of work, and through emails, texts, and/or phone calls, keeps the customer informed every step so there are absolutely no unpleasant surprises. Prices are reasonable & affordable.
Finally, the shop stands by their products and services. Very reputable business, and highly encourage you to...
