I've been into C&M a handful of times, and they are so welcoming and friendly every time I go in there. After all the times I've been ignored and talked to rudely at Guitar Center, I'm only going to C&M now. Mel and his guys are always happy to help with a good attitude! They also have a great selection of guitars and music gear in general for awesome prices. This is not a bot review I just want to promote this awesome local business!! Stop going to guitar center!! read more

I've been a professional musician for over 20 years and Eddie at C & M is THE guy we have been going to for ALL of our musical instrument needs (I even got my first guitar from the one on the westbank!). My most recent purchase was a sound system for my DJ company and Eddie special ordered my speakers and their cases for me. Eddie even checked in to see if I still enjoyed my purchase! As for the people saying harsh things about this local company, I truly feel like it's likely a misunderstanding on the part of both parties... but I don't know, I wasn't there. read more

I live in California and came across a PRS Ce24 semi hollowbody that called my name. Using Reverb to deal with strangers is always tricky, but Tim at C&M was fantastic. We arranged the deal via Reverb and provided for overnight service to Bakersfield. It arrived completely set up and in tune and gorgeous. Would not think twice about dealing with these guys again read more

I'm old. I've bought a lot of guitars. I just had the best experience of my life buying a guitar for my daughter from Mel at C&M. He was very generous with his time and knowledge. We ended up with a beautiful Martin. He gave us a screaming deal. He threw in all kinds of extras. We all left with smiles on our faces. Mel and his staff were awesome! We will be back. Thanks, Mel! read more

I have known Mel and Chris for over 30 years. These guys are great to deal with. Very knowledgeable and customer service is superior. I'm sure I may miss mentioning someone but it's not intentional. Eddie,Christian, Tim, Alex and the crew are awesome as well. I highly recommend supporting this local business. I started dealing with them when they were at Werleins on Veterans Blvd. Thanks guys for the many great years dealing with you. Looking forward to many more years supporting you guys. read more

I had a great buying experience with Tim and C&M Music Center in Kenner, LA. We negotiated a discounted price for my purchase of two guitars. I settled on the blue PRS/Zach Myers 6-string electric (soft case) and the Takamine 12-string (EF381SC 12 with hard case). Both guitars were shipped free with insurance the next business day but FedEx, in Portland, Oregon, delayed the delivery for a few days. I couldn't locate a better deal ANYWHERE! They even threw in new strings for both guitars! The guitars were shipped in manufacturer's boxes with extra bubble wrap and extra cushioning packaging from the store. Highly recommend this store. read more

I was looking for a Godin Arena Mahogany CW QIT guitar. With the current supply chain issues they are hard to find. I worked with Christian. He was very helpful and made sure the guitar was right before it was sent - they assessed it on their PLEK machine and made some adjustments. No charge. They did not have a hard case for the guitar (it is a slimline nylon acoustic) so they gave me a nice padded Martin gig bag - no charge. Shipping - no charge. I am just a beginner student but this guitar is easy to play. I took it to my music teacher (50+ years) and he was impressed. Next time I need another guitar I will definitely check with C & M! Thank you Christian! read more

Ordered 3x new guitars and got one that was clearly a well used or well used store demo. The gloss finish on the Martin HD-35 was trashed with scuffs and swirls all of the body of the guitar, top, sides and back. They claim that it is new but clearly it is not. Hard to believe that they got the guitar from Martin this way or that they did not check the guitar when it came in from Martin and had it for over a year before they sold it to me. Now i have to waste my time and deal with this. read more

Sent a fender in a box with no protection. Was sworn at by customer rep trying to return. Worse ever experience online purchase. Was told fender sent it that way. (And fender doesn't Just throw a guitar in a box) Take the extra step and insure a quality delivery, but this store could care less. read more
