I take extreme good care of my guitars and that scratch was not there when I dropped it off. As soon as I got home I played it for a while and there is a massive feedback. They made ir worse. They still charged me $150 and did not want to repay for the damage. I understand that accidents happen but that doesn't mean you don't make it right with the customer. Very upsetting. Never coming back.

We bought a guitar there and we paid $366 in cash and $66 on the card. When we went to return it…read morethey wanted to charge us a 20% restocking fee which would of been fine but after an hour of them telling me they can only put $66 on the card and MAIL ME A CHECK they would not give me cash back AND charge me a 20% restocking fee on top of that I found ridiculous unethical and very poor poor customer service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you go purchase you musical needs elsewhere. I have never in my life had this kind of treatment or had this done to me at any store ever in my life. They were obviously trying to force the sale on us prevent us from returning the item by making it as difficult as possible. I against my better judgement kept the guitar due to the lack of trust I felt. I honestly believed in my heart I would have never seen that check. Again DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PROPLE they obviously do not care about the customer. In response to your response, you'll refund the card that's fine but you will not refund cash because of some "theft" in the past. That's what safes are for. it isn't right to offer a check to be mailed to your customers for a cash purchase. THATS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE IN ANY BOOK!! And making it real difficult to return the item with full knowledge of what you were doing IS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Offering a ridiculous solution to a problem knowing full well I wouldn't go for it and forcing the sale IS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!! The fact you can't see that and hide behind some ridiculous reasoning IS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! and like I'd trust you to mail a check. I never said your employee was bad It was your lack of management on the premises to help rectify the situation. The poor guy had to call everyone he could to try and get something done. It was management over the phone and you the owner OVER THE PHONE refusing to make it right in an acceptable manner. Cutting a check for a CASH PURCHASE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY BUSINESS and I have never had that happen to me ever anywhere. You're the first, congratulations!! (Clap clap clap) I'm sure even you wouldn't stand for it if that happened to you. It's not our problem (the customer) the things that happen in your store. You still need to run a business regardless of theft or anything that happens in the store and provide your customers a good, no correction a great shopping experience. You did not deliver on that. If you know you can't refund cash for a cash purchase that should be the first thing you tell a customer ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING DIRECTLY ASKED ABOUT YOUR RETURN POLICY!!! All your employee did was hand me a sheet stating the 48 hours and the 20% restocking fee. Nowhere on that sheet stated cash purchases will be refunded by mailed check. If that was on the sheet I wouldn't have done business with you. I said my peace you're wrong no matter how you try and justify it in your head. What was done WAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE and one of the reason brick-and-mortar stores are dying out. I will be reporting this situation to the BBB and I'll keep posting this review over and over to get the word out there, as is my right. Your employee was great if he reads this I find no fault in what you did. The fact you have only been there a few months running the store on your own is commendable. It was the lack of management on site to handle these situations that was bad and the unwillingness to rectify the problem in a ACCEPTABLE manner. And after reading MANY reviews it seems to be a reoccurring problem. These are pictures of your return policy nothing on there states cash purchase are issued by mailed check. If that is your policy it must be stated. So your 33 year policy statement is false. Nowhere on your sites return policy states anything you said. Now you're dishonest as well. Good job and thank you for that it helps. And by the way I'm the type of person that buys many guitars. if I was provided an acceptable solution to my problem I would of patronized your store for all my guitar needs. Strings, parts, repairs etc...

For the Stone Oak store in San Antonio, I can't speak to the products, but I can speak to the…read moreservice. It's mediocre, at best. We had been receiving private lessons and the instructor himself (Jorge) is great, the rest of the store is blah. Staff will generally not speak to you unless they have to. Management is non-existent. No voice mail, no email address, and the contact form only accepts a couple hundred characters. It's almost like they go out of their way to tell the client "We don't want to hear from you." Your lessons have an expiration date that they try to claim is to encourage people to stay current, which I don't buy. They also will charge you for about a month's worth of lessons at a time, so when you cancel, you're still on the hook for a bit longer. No business owner worth their salt accepts money for service they don't provide, or for poor service. Do better. We cancelled our private lessons and will drive past it to continue because of the apathetic service. Hard pass.

He's…read moreonly 2 1/2 and is still learning how to be around other kids and follow structure, which is exactly why we enrolled him. Before signing up, I asked if the instructor would be able to handle a high-energy toddler and were reassured that it wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case. While I understand the importance of structure and rules, the approach taken didn't feel supportive or age-appropriate. There were moments where he seemed to be singled out or excluded--for example, when other children were given instruments and he was not. He was also removed from class, which for a 30-minute session means he missed the entire experience, without other options offered (like having a parent assist). I completely understand that not every class is the right fit for every child, but at this age, patience and redirection go a long way. It was disappointing because he genuinely enjoyed being there. I hope the program can consider a more supportive approach for younger children who are still learning how to navigate structured environments.

This class was just 30 minutes every Saturday morning and my kiddo absolutely loved it. The teacher was super patient with the little ones, and made it a very fun experience for everyone. Unfortunately the class was removed off the program and he will no longer be able to attend.
