I had a very disappointing experience at Guitar Center Northridge, and after two separate visits…read morewith the same employee, I feel like I need to share it. During my first visit, a worker with gray hair approached us and told us that if a manager came by, we should act like we were buying something. I thought it was a strange and unprofessional comment, but I brushed it off and didn't think too much of it at the time. About a week later, I returned, and the exact same employee approached us again and made the same comment, telling us that if a manager came in, we should pretend we were going to buy something. At that point, it no longer felt like a joke and came across as completely inappropriate. While we were trying out guitars in one of the practice rooms, he repeatedly walked by, stopped, and stared at us through the glass. This happened multiple times and made us feel extremely uncomfortable. At one point, he commented on one of the guitars we were looking at and said, "You're not going to buy that guitar, that's an $1,800 guitar, right?" I found that comment extremely disrespectful and dismissive. After continuing to watch us, he eventually came into the room and asked, "Are you guys going to buy something or what? What's the plan?" By that point, I told him that the constant staring was making us uncomfortable. Instead of listening to what I was saying, he continued talking and insisted that I listen to him. I've been to many music stores and have never been treated this way. Being repeatedly watched, questioned about whether you're actually going to buy something, and being told that you're probably not going to buy a guitar because of its price is not acceptable customer service. This experience felt disrespectful, unprofessional, and made us feel unwelcome.

I'm a pretty average guitar player. 13 years ago, I treated myself to a Martin HD28 guitar. I was…read morehoping it would make me a better player, but in reality it just allowed me to be just as average, but sounding much better. It's a great sounding guitar. I played the factory settings for all these years and thought everything was great. Then, I took it to Eric's for a setup. WOW. The guitar plays so much better all up and down the neck, is correctly intonated and even to my "average-guitar-player" ears, sounds even better. Eric treated me like a king. He's obviously someone who loves what he does and values all clients, whether they are pros are someone like me who just dabbles. GREAT job, thanks, Eric!

Went in for a jam session and the showroom was set up, ready, and Jerry was waiting for me. Ultimately, the Collection QI was what I settled on and honestly, it's worth twice what I paid for it AND it came with a free SKB case! You will get excellent care and a fabulous deal here. Oh, and there is also some great inventory Jerry told me about while I was there, so ask what else might be in stock. You might leave with more than just one guitar!

I started taking guitar lessons with Teri in January of this year. I played piano and french horn…read moregrowing up so I already knew how to read music, but I always wanted to play guitar and didn't have the discipline to learn it when I was younger. In the ~6 months I've been with Teri & Gerard, I've begun to learn how and why music works the way it does, and not just how to read what's written on the page. My lessons are completely customized based on what I want to learn. I have learned everything from scales and arpeggios to classical Spanish songs to improvising blues riffs. I can bring in a song, let Teri listen to it a bit, and then she'll teach me how to play it. It's amazing! They are honest and generous people and I really enjoy my weekly lesson. I've only bought one guitar from them when I started, but I wouldn't bother going anywhere else if I wanted another. I think their prices are more than reasonable and they've always been straightforward about how the lesson scheduling and prices work. Teri and Gerard have always been kind enough to give me free extra time on my lesson whenever it works out that way with scheduling, and they've given me great prices on any merchandise I've picked up. I highly recommend Teri and Gerard!

Buying it was a bit stressful, the answer to our questions were hard to come by and we had to carry this big speaker to the car. That said the experience wasn't bad, but, I believe for someone like me who doesn't have knowledge of speakers, a little more education would have been helpful. I am sure this an ideal place for musicians who know what they want. Unfortunately, I bought the wrong speaker. When I returned it, the staff member was pleasant and didn't make a fuss about it.

He has built a solid client base from around the world, and they often turn to him to buy or sell their guitars. His service is great, instrument quality is excellent, and his prices are fair.
