I needed my violin ready by the weekend so 4 days was too long of a wait. DLP is open late until 8:00 - 8:30 PM on weekdays. Just call the shop and tell the owner what you need to be done and he is accommodating. I was able to get my violin back the next day. The prices are reasonable. I would return here for violin supplies like strings, rosin, and polish.

Complained that I should get my deposit back and take amp home, they committed to take amp back to "bench". Returned 1 week later to find amp still on bench - i believe untouched. I seriously doubt they have any competence for electronic instrument repair. I took my unrepaired amp back and took the $65 deposit loss (since technically they put my amp on the bench). Beware.

I was searching for a new PRS CE 24 in faded blue smokeburst finish and RCMC had a nice one on…read moretheir site. I ended up calling just before closing and Scott picked up to answer my questions. He was very patient and did not rush me at all. I was indifferent about ordering an expensive guitar out of state that I hadn't seen or played. To confirm the appearance of the website photos, Scott also sent photos from his own phone. We agreed on a competitive price including shipping. Before shipping, I also spoke to the guitar tech, Dave. We discussed the setup and action. He changed strings, polished the frets, treated the fingerboard and lowered the action. Both Scott and Dave were very friendly and professional throughout the sales process. The guitar showed up a day early, well packed and in perfect condition. Not a single scratch or blemish. It's a beautiful instrument and exactly as described on the RCMC site. Incredibly build quality. Next level compared to my Gibson SG Standard '61. It plays great and sounds fantastic. It's definitely a keeper and a perfect compliment to my Gibson. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Scott and Dave again. They support an honest shop of high integrity. I'd definitely recommend checking them out. Cheers! \m/ \m/

So, I went to guitar center on Ford rd. in Canton fully intending on buying a Fender Telecaster. I…read morewent up to the salesman at the center register and before I could say anything, he said, 'sorry man, I'm working with another customer'. Ok, I thought, so I found another guy working there and I said, 'excuse me...' and before I could finish what I was going to ask, he says, 'uh, yeah, I'm not really working now, I'm just helping the other guy.... I went looking around for yet another salesperson. I found a young lady in the back that looked like she was busy breaking down boxes. It seemed like she didn't want, or know much about guitars. I guess bottom line is, if Guitar Center isn't making the money like they used to, they should look to themselves for the problem. Sincerly An addendum to the above complaint. ...2 hours later I want back to get my son's guitar worked on, that went great. The guitar tech was named Greg. However, while I was waiting for the guitar to be repaired, someone BOUGHT the guitar I wanted and planned on buying. Now, I really annoyed! This man got the service I was supposed to get!

Guitar Center dominates new instrument sales, and smaller operations like A & R need to be there to provide service, lessons and repairs for those new buyers. The real advantage that A & R has is the terrific instructional and technical staff. My daughter has taken Tenor Sax and Guitar lessons there for several years. I cannot say enough good about Mike (Guitar), Terry (Sax), and Elane (Sax). Also, Timmy the instrument repair god is fast and cheap, and is really accommodating for emergency repairs. A & R is one of the very best of Downriver.

Naturally, he wanted new strings, strap, and cord. We don't exactly live very close to to A&R anymore. But it's still worth the drive. I called ahead to make sure my kids were going to be able to shop the store due to Covid. While on the phone I spoke to A.J. Extremely friendly and professional guy! I explained that my son was new to being a rock star, and wanted someone to show him how to re-string his guitar. AJ was more than happy to help. He was so friendly, both of my kids came home and told me how much they like the store, and how nice A.J. is. This is how businesses should treat their customers! That's why A&R has been around forever! If you have a potential rock star living amongst you, THIS is the place to take them!!
