I love this place. Whenever I leave this place, I have a big smile on my face and feel spiritually…read morerefreshed. Some other places, when I leave, I feel guilty like I did something wrong. They treat their customers with the utmost respect. The long black-haired death metal guy who works here (Brendan) is an incredibly kind and friendly salesperson. Every time I come here, they make me feel welcome. Skip the Music Emporium and spend your money here instead. The spirit of Matt Leff is alive and well thanks to kind, well-meaning salespeople like Brendan. I never feel rushed or pressured and I almost always have to stop myself from talking Brendan's ear off whenever I visit. I'm sure even if I did annoy him, he might never even show it.

Niko, the manager at guitar center in Braintree has been such a pleasure working with and helping me pick out new gear. Ukulele, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, audio interface for recording etc.. all the staff is great but Niko really made me feel comfortable and happy and informed with all my purchases. He's really good at what he does and I'm having a blast recording my son's first songs and sounds!

Bosse School of Music is top notch. My son started there over a year ago and he was taking piano…read morelessons and was feeling overwhelmed. Jess who is the receptionist and coordinator of appointments was amazing. She listened to my concerns and talked to me about other options for my son. We are now taking singing lessons all because Jess took the time to listen to our needs and was nothing short of amazing. I generally sit in the lobby waiting for my son and am always impressed with how Jess handles the hustle and bustle of the students, teachers and parents. She is always professional and kind to alll. I would highly recommend Bosse School of Music!

I all but gave up on the thing until my friends told me about Cranky's. For a very reasonable fee, Greg worked on the frets, tremolo, tuning heads, saddles, and gave it a thorough cleaning. She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!

Th folks at Guitar Doctor have sold and set up a couple of guitars and an electric bass for me,…read moreover the past 35 years. A few repairs thrown in there, as well. I've never been steered wrong, oversold, or disappointed with their work. The expertise is endless! I was in an again recently, and happy to see not much has changed. I'd say if you want Guitar Center, go to Guitar Center. If you want individual attention, and a couple lifetimes of expertise, go see the Doc. If you want to support the Walmart of music, that's ok. Sometimes I do, too. But, if you want to shop local, support local businesses, and enjoy the mom-and-pop charm, go see the Doc. Reading the reviews here leaves me scratching my head. The one who had their bass setup done, came back a month later with questions and they didn't remember them...Ok. That's a 1 star review? Like, was there an actual problem? And, if there was a problem, did you have your receipt? Cause, I'm pretty sure they're not going to remember setting up your new bass a month later at Guitar Center, either. Or, maybe there is just more to that story... If you're on the fence, go check them out for yourself. Chances are good you'll think they're pretty cool, too.
