Amazing work, so helpful. Everything we need is there and fix my daughter's clarinet.

The actual color code of the $20 a set daddario XS strings that I gave them to put on. F****** thieves!

Worst music store on Earth. I paid $100 to have my brand new setup from the factory Epiphone masterbuilt set up for the strings that I like to use. All that really needed to be done was filing the nut for the gauge of string that I like and the rest didn't need to be touched at all. Instead of this basic stuff these incompetent assholes did not touch the setup of this guitar at all. I took it to the experts at the Guitar Center and they confirmed that no setup had been done on it. They also confirmed that the strings, the $20 strings that I had paid to have put on we're not put on and we're in fact the cheapest strings that came from the factory. So mark stole $120 of my money and in return I got a guitar back that I could not play. I will never if it's the last f****** music store open on Earth will I ever spend another dime at the s***** s***** Chicago music store. They can go straight to hell. How I really feel about test photos and videos that's cool because I have pictures

Mariachi man

Do they buy used guitars?

They don't take consignment instruments to sell.

I visited the Chicago Store to purchase items for my niece who is learning the violin and items for myself as I am learning the banjo.

I took 3 of my guitars in for repairs, etc... Great service!…read moreGlad to have qualified luthiers here in T-town! Thanks to Gabriel and his team!! Cheers, Drew M.

I brought in a high end acoustic guitar for a simple pickup installation. I called first and was…read moretold they might be able to get it done the same day or maybe the next. I arrived within an hour of my call and learned that it would be a few days since it was a Friday and they are closed Sunday. (Not bad really but I needed it was told it was probable) I was told I could pay an upcharge for "express service" and agreed. I picked up the guitar the next day. When I got home I discovered the soundhole mounted control panel with Volume and tone controls was mounted so far to the rear that my index finger was wedged between the low E string and the tone knob in order to turn the thumbwheel. I was not told or informed whether there may be an issue with placement due to bracing. I would understand I that's the case but I should have been informed or asked about it. This makes using the tone knob impractical. The express service upcharge was essentially a waste of money because I had to drive back and leave the guitar. This time a couple more days. Chuck said they were short staffed maybe they could get it the next day. It's mounted with Double sided sticky tape and/or velcro. How long could it take? Two days later with no contact I just drove back and picked up the guitar and I'll get it fixed elsewhere. I have gigs I need to play and that's what I got this guitar for. I gig professionally and did 145 shows last year. Again, Chuck said they were short staffed but my experience is delivery time to fix an issue became a moving targett. I understand things happen but this was not a good first experience with the shop. I probably won't go back. Their charges are also higher than what other shops charge in town b based on my 30 years of gigging in Tucson. Overall this is not a huge deal but my first experience with this shop including 'express service' was not good.

I was recently given a guitar to start learning on, the most obvious issue being that it's missing…read moresome strings. I figured I would take it to a local business to have it it re-strung and looked over. I waited all week to go at a time outside of my work hours because their hours are very limited. I walked in holding the guitar and the first thing that was said to me when I walked in was "we're not doing anymore repairs today". The gentleman then asked me what was wrong with it and I explained that I didn't know what and wanted it looked at. He offered to write up a value on it to let me know how much it could be worth, and I explained to him that my intention was to play this guitar and that would really only be helpful to know to compare to the cost of repair. He did show me a few guitars they had in house at what seemed like a decent price. But instructed me to come back when the repairman was in, which could be anytime because even though he had hours, he is a gig worker and sometimes has to leave. It largely felt like he was more interested in selling me something versus addressing the concerns I currently had. Can't blame him in this economy, I suppose. He was kind and it is a cool shop, just didn't seem like it was what I needed based on my situation. This place has a very small town, small store feel - if you're looking for a wide variety of instruments and/or consistent hours, this might not be the right choice for you either.

Great place to find out what is happening musically in town and buy tickets to shows.read more
