This is hands down the best Guitar Center I've ever been to... and I've been to many over the…read moreyears. I bought a guitar from a Guitar Center in California that was pictured with a tremolo bar, but it didn't ship with one. The original store said they'd send it, but it never showed up. What truly impressed me was how this location handled it. Holden and Steve were absolutely outstanding. Even though the issue wasn't their fault in the slightest, they were incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely apologetic. They didn't brush me off or make excuses--instead, they went all out, searching high and low through the store to find a tremolo bar that would fit my Jazzmaster. When they ultimately couldn't find a compatible one, they made it right by giving me a $30 store credit to cover the cost. That kind of ownership, effort, and customer care is rare these days. Holden and Steve represent customer service at its absolute best. Because of them, this location has earned my loyalty, and I'll be coming back here for all my future music needs. Highly recommend this Guitar Center, especially if you're lucky enough to work with them. Thank you Holden and Steve!

Amazing Service from Charlie at Music Shack (June 23, 2025)…read more On Monday, June 23, 2025, I stopped by the Music Shack in Longwood--unaware they were closed. As I was getting ready to leave, Charlie kindly opened the door and informed me that the store wasn't open on Mondays, but offered his assistance nonetheless. I explained that I needed clarification about my instrument rental agreement. Charlie was incredibly professional, courteous, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond my expectations--not only did he thoroughly explain the details, but he also took the initiative to call the rental company directly to obtain the accurate information I needed. I even offered to come back on another day, but Charlie insisted on helping me right then and there. It's clear that Music Shack truly values their customers, and Charlie is a shining example of excellent service. Thank you, Charlie, for your outstanding dedication--this is the kind of experience that keeps customers coming back!

We stopped into R & R after a nice lunch at Pickles to see what they have to offer. This is a great…read morelittle store. They don't offer everything you would see at a Guitar Center or Sam Ash but what they do offer is an exceptional selection of guitars, Basses, ukuleles, mandolins, tube and solid-state amps, effects pedals, instrument accessories and more. They carry mostly Fender, Squire, Taylor, Martin, PRS, and Reverend guitars. They literally have one wall filled with Taylor and Martin guitars, another one filled with PRS, and a third all Fender, its pretty awesome. If you are a die hard for any of these brands, I highly recommend stopping in to check them out. I always wanted a Fender Telecaster but after seeing the Reverend Eastsider they had, I am willing to reconsider, that thing was sick! Staff were super friendly and welcoming. I struck up a conversation with Grayson, one of the store associates and he informed me they also give lessons on a variety of instruments. Pricing is $30 for a half hour and $60 for an hour lesson, which is pretty much the going rate. I could hear one of the piano teachers playing Bohemian Rhapsody in the background and she was great. The store is well kept, clean, and orderly. Although the store has been here for a while now, everything looks like it is in like new condition. All of the guitars are kept clean from dust and staff maintains everything very well., Good job! I really wanted to support the store even though I didn't need anything, so I bought a pack of strings and a PRS keychain pick holder, and now that I have been using it daily, I cannot live without it. Thank you for the recommendation, Grayson. If you happen to be in the area and love music shops and want to support local, I highly recommend checking out R & R Guitars.

I have a guitar that I, embarrassingly, couldn't get to be playable for over a year. I dropped it off and by the next day had a wonderfully working instrument. Troy, who I believe is the owner, went over the all the possible issues with me and it ended up being a simple repair. Other than that, inside the shop was filled wall-to-wall with guitars, basses, ukuleles, and plenty of accessories. I didn't check out the prices so I can't comment on that, but there was definitely plenty to choose from. It was a really cool shop and I hope I get to go back soon.

I drove over 500 miles from North Carolina with one goal in mind: to visit this legendary store I had heard so much about. Bass players rave that this is the place you must check out--and now, I fully understand why. Before making the trip, I reached out to Beaver, the owner, via email. He was quick to respond, and incredibly detailed and thoughtful in his replies. He made sure all my questions were answered and gave me expert advice, which made me feel 100% confident in my purchase before I even set foot in the store. Unfortunately, due to some last-minute circumstances, I couldn't make it to the store to pick up the gear myself. Therefore, my wife, who knows nothing about bass gear, had to step in. She said the in-store experience was exceptional. The staff of Mike, JD, and a fellow named Grasshopper were super knowledgeable and passionate. They went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. In addition, they set up and tested everything, ensuring it was in perfect working order, and even helped her load the heavy amp and cabinet into her car. As for the Ampeg, it sounds phenomenal--rich, powerful, and exactly the tone I was after. If you're beginner, intermediate, or professional bass player, you need to visit Bass Central. Forget the big chain stores; this place offers a phenomenal selection and customer service that goes above and beyond. I couldn't recommend it more!
