    Bridge came apart when tuning due to cheap glue.

    Horrible customer service. I ordered a guitar through Amazon. The guitar was defective and i could not return it and they did not apologize or offer to repair it because it was just past the 30 day return policy. They are rude, arrogant and uncooperative.

    Butler Music's answer to a mail order $1,400 American Performer Strat.   Said I should keep it because a replacement would take "months".

    Bought a guitar from this store via Amazon. Guitar arrived damaged in three separate ways. Store told me they wouldn't be able to get me a replacement for several months although their inventory shows that they have another in stock. They also told me I should take my problem up with Fender. Fender did not like that response from Butler. This business is intentionally selling defective guitars that have been damaged in Butler music, to unsuspecting Amazon customers. I will be boxing everything in the UPS store and recording the entire process as I recommend to anyone else that falls victim to this scam. Do not buy a guitar from Butler music or you will sorely wish you hadn't!

    Butler helped hook me up with a beautiful new American Pro ii Telecaster last month. The staff was friendly and helpful, let me try a few different guitars. I will definitely be back!

    I just recently purchased a 2410TG Gretsch Streamliner from Butler Music in Harrisonville, Mo, it by far one of the best buying experiences I have ever had ! I am 61 year's young and the customer service I received from Amber and the rest of the staff was second to none! I was greeted as soon as I came in and was treated like family! Amber was very attentive and listed to what my needs were, I told here which models I wanted to look at and within a few minutes she hade them out front and she had tuned them and in stands. Absolutely a top 5 purchase experience. The staff were all very knowledgeable and very helpful, I'm not sure where the negative reviews were coming from I guess some people just can't be satisfied no matter what, I'm in sales and I treat my customers very well and that was the experience i received from Butler Music,! I will definitely and highly recommend them to all of my music friends. There was no hassle or high pressure, very informative and courteous and extremely customer oriented. I traveled quite a distance to purchase from them and will do so again, in 61 years this was my first new guitar purchase and it will not be my last! Awesome Company and Awesome people. Don't let the negative Nancy's detour you from checking them out you won't regret it, my only regret is that I didn't find them sooner! Thank you Amber and the whole staff for providing me with an extremely completely satisfying customer experience! BUTLER MUSIC ROCKS!!!

    I am a tone junky. For those of you who are not musicians, what this means is that I crave good…read moretone like Joi B. craves good wine : It's gotta be rich, full of body, and indicative of the craft that went into making it. In my craving for this Aural Elixir that is once elusive and abundant in the right places, I decided to check out the local pedal-smiths JHS. I've been into the JHS shop in Grandview a few times, and they're always very, very helpful, and will gladly indulge you in talk about what their custom pedals do, what boutique amps they're featuring, what rare guitars they're consigning, or what way they can help you find that fine tone you're looking for. I was lucky enough to be able to snatch up one of their last Mr. Magic pedals, which to me, even on paper sounds like beautiful music, but in application is just amazing to the ears. I won't go into the technicality of it being a Buffer, an Enhancer, and a Boost, but I will say it rockets my tone into the stratosphere when I stomp on it to hit a lead. Plus, the case is hand painted; something they have a lot of quirky fun with at their shop. Not only do these folks build their own brand of pedals, but they will modify pedals you already have! Well, I'm all about modifying; just look at my pin-striped Gretsch Baritones, or my custom-crafted guitar straps, or my special order amp cover, or my....yeah, I like things being changed, enhanced, tweaked. Whatever it takes to make it "mine"; in this case I had a Tremolo Pedal and an Overdrive Pedal modded. Both in ways that enhanced their inherent tones, but took them up a notch to become much more versatile than originally designed. Perfect. I'm incredibly satisfied by this company, and love their product. They're also doing lots of good things for their community as a business, and really know what good service is all about. If you're looking for a new box to stomp or have an old one that could use some souping-up, check out JHS before you hit a Guitar Center...you'll be glad you did!

    Great pedals, great price for professional equipment! Friendly customer service, road worthy!read more

    Nate helped me today and was amazing! I was buying a guitar for my son and he helped fill in my…read moreknowledge gaps and gave great food for thought in my decision process. He also tested the guitar for me and I was impressed by his playing too! Thank you Shining Light... you've got a good one there! The deal was incredible too!

    I am so pleased with the great piano teacher match through Shining Light Music. When I called to…read moreinquire about teachers, I communicated that our requirements are stringent: my son is 6 yrs old, and while he likes piano, he doesn't looove piano, so the lessons have to be fun and engaging to encourage his progress. He's had 1.5 years piano instruction, and he doesn't respond well to some of the "too basic" piano book courses we had temporarily explored with a couple past teachers, so it's a challenge to level him up with material and technique that is age appropriate and fun enough but not too basic, nor too complex. And we had limited time availabilty as our schedules are maxed... It's such a blessing that the receptionist recommended Ms. Emily Shelp! Ms. Emily is well qualified; she possesses a Bachelor of Music in Piano Pedagogy from Bob Jones University and has been playing since she was 7 yrs old. Her bio is coming soon to the Shining Light Music teacher page. Best of all, she strikes the right notes - I couldn't resist the pun! - in working on my son's technique and making it fun. She motivates him with weekly fun point-competitions (to earn country stickers in his passport, medals, trophy, etc.) which has resulted in him reminding me that he has to memorize a song for the next lesson..cuz he wants the points! (whoo hoo, he's no longer resistant to practicing!!!!) I feel that she is the right piano teacher for his current level and needs; she employs a cheerful and focused Kindergarten/First Grade encouraging teaching style to keep all the lessons fun and on track, she's able to motivate and consistently award with positive reinforcement, able to redirect him when he gets silly (after all he's been in school all day, then straight to his lesson!) and I appreciate how she is able to teach finer technique in a way that he understands. She would be great for both beginner and advanced students.
