I was visiting Beaverton Oregon and the first music store I went into recommended Five Star…read moreGuitars. I immediately liked the selection of instruments and amplifiers. Michael was quick to help me find the perfect Mesa Boogie and brought down some custom PRS guitars so I could rock out and relax. I had a great time playing for a couple of hours. I returned the next day and continued to play and chat with the great staff. Geoff introduced himself and asked what I was interested in. He brought me a few high quality guitars until I couldn't resist. He made me a smoking deal on the JP Mesa Boogie and a beautiful purple mist PRS. I recommend FSG's and will definitely continue business with them even though I am from the Central Valley in California.

I went in to buy a bass and a practice amp. I got talked into buying this little…read morerecording/headphone device for the same price I wanted the amp ($160). I was told I had 30 days to return it. I didn't like it and tried to return it a few weeks later. What I wasn't told was that I'd only get $50 as in store credit if the box was damaged (just the box, not the actual product itself). The worst part was the guy looked up the resell price on a used version and it came to about $80, but he then took 35% off even though it's a return. I then wanted to buy an amp (What I originally wanted before I was talked into something else) and asked for something around the $150 mark. He then tried to talk me into an amp without telling me the price. I had to firmly ask what the price was twice before he told me it's $300. Even though I was visibly upset from losing $100 from a product I bought from them because the box was damaged. I finally got him to show me exactly what I wanted. If you go here, know exactly what you want and be firm about it so you're not talked into getting something you don't want that costs more money. Also know that the boxes their products are in are worth $100 so you can't return a perfect condition product, within their return window, if the box is damaged.

I had an absolutely great experience purchasing a vintage guitar from Bob. Besides having very fair…read moreprices, he worked with me in all phases - price, condition, and adding a hard case. It's hard to purchase a guitar online, but Bob took the time to share everthing I needed to know about the guitar. When the guitar arrived, it was even better than I hoped. His blurb about Guitar Crazy is as accurate as it gets - WE ARE NOT THE TYPE OF "SALES-PEOPLE" you're probably accustomed to (and irritated by). We "shoot straight", LOVE what we do, and we LOVE and what we have to offer. We WANT you to be happy! Thanks for all.

I was recently searching for a guitar repair shop to help properly set up my Fender EVH guitar's…read moreD-Tuna device (it was not working adequately and causing strings to go slightly out of tune). My first call was to 12th Fret on Hawthorne... they had done some fret work for me 20 years ago, and I was impressed with their service and capabilities. However, I didn't get a call back after leaving a voicemail with my service details. I called a few of the other "boutique" repair shops around town, and left voicemails... but again, no call back. I finally found a shop that picked up the phone, but when he said he had never heard of the D-Tuna device, I said never mind. Then I remembered local Tigard Music had a repair shop. I called and spoke with Mark, and felt really good about the conversation, and brought my guitar in. While my request was not a common service request, Mark did some research and came up with a solution that worked perfectly. He also addressed a fret issue for me, and did both services for a great price. He even gave me advice on some other minor fixes I could do myself without spending a lot of money. I was very impressed. I will definitely be bringing my guitars for repair/upgrades to Mark and Tigard Music in the future! P.S. While I am primarily a guitar player, I bought a ukulele from them recently, and the selection/prices were great! Aloha!

Being able to sit close enough to hear direct sound from acoustic instruments and an amplification system that does not have to be cranked up to eleven to fill the room is a delight. During breaks, examining the instruments hanging on the wall is the nicest possible kind of museum visit. The beer selection isn't huge, but I'm always able to find multiple choices that suit my tastes. It's always fun to be able to listen to the interactions between performers and the person running the store - they always seem to appreciate each other. Hearing positive in-person interactions is quite a relief compared to the daily glut of online trolling. I always look forward to coming back to Strum.

Peter Tsiorba is a phenomenon when it comes to build a classical and flamenco guitar…read more I would not trust anyone else to build for me a guitar but Peter Tsiorba. Peter built for me 3 flamenco guitars in 2005 in 2010 and in 2021 from top woods like German spruce grade AAA+ top for all the 3 guitars. 2 guitars with Brazilian rosewood back & sides and 1 guitar with a Pau Ferro wood back and sides. And these guitars sounds great and easy to play. I am playing the guitar close to 53 years now and was playing many guitars in my life. I can tell very fast the quality of a flamenco guitar. I would buy only a handmade Peter Tsiorba guitar not a factory made guitar! I have compared Peter`s Tsiorba guitars that I own with world famous guitar luthiers who cost much more than Peter Tsiorba guitars and man ,, I must say I am so happy I choose Peter Tsiorba.
