These guys are professional musicians not McDonalds employees. They're here to deal and do serious business not wait on you hand and foot. Grow up. I've been coming here for years. Some days the customer service is better than other days, oh well. This bit of advice will go a long way when dealing with most mom and pop music stores. Do some research and have a fucking clue before waking in. This isn't a Burger King. You aren't going to "have it your way" here. Leave your entitlement at the door.

If you are looking for a new guitar to buy online, the first place you should checkout is Alamo…read moreMusic Center out of San Antonio, TX. Let me tell you why. There are so many things to consider when buying online. You need to know that the people you are dealing with are honest and honorable. You will not find better people than Chris McKee and Cooper Greenberg. They are the best. You also want to make sure the people that you talk to are guitar experts. Just check out Chris' and Coopers' You Tube channel, Alamo Music Center, and watch their informative and entertaining guitar review videos. You will come away impressed by their expertise and knowledge. They want to make sure you select a guitar that meets your criteria and your needs rather than just trying to sell you a guitar. You want a store that treats the customer with respect and bends over backwards to make sure a customer is satisfied. I can vouch from personal experience that they know how to treat a customer right. I have purchased guitars from some of the biggest guitar places in the US and none of them come even close to meeting all of the criteria I have listed above, except for Alamo Music Center. I have purchased my last two guitars from them and will always go to Alamo Music Center first. Check them out and maybe like me Alamo Music Center will become your favorite and go to guitar store. Pro Tip: When they have a sale pay attention and peruse the inventory for your next guitar. Their deals are fantastic! Thank you, Alamo Music Center!

I have purchased several acoustic guitars from Alamo Music through the years and each transaction…read morehas been smooth and flawless. My most recent purchase was for a used guitar with a face that only a mother would love, but that was okay with me. The entire purchase was done entirely by text and their representative, Cooper, answered all of my questions, some of them nitpicking, patiently and completely. The price was fair. Response timely. He even sent me pics and a video of him playing it. So helpful. While I have bought guitars and gear from other online outfits Alamo's service takes the prize. Highly recommended.

The staff goes out of its way to schedule make-up classes when needed. My four kids have been attending lessons for guitar, violin, piano and drums for just under two years and we forsee a longstanding relationship with this group. Mark Gray and Lily Skipper are great teachers and very patient. And by the way, the lessons are not for children only. I see plenty of adults taking lessons as well!

My son, after the 2 classes and missing the 3rd decided he didn't want to return. I made a payment on the day he was due to return, and an hour later he told me he didn't want to go back. I called and asked if they could refund my payment since we won't be attending the second half of the sessions, and was told it's against policy. Prior to making the payment, I received a text that he was no longer enrolled because of lack of payment. They were completely fine with unenrolling him for lack of payment but once I paid it, that seemed to evade them. Now it's "our instructors depend on that." They're depending on fees from the parents of finicky kids. It's disgusting and predatory. They shouldn't be offering classes for kids if they don't understand their nature. Not to mention having my son walk through the weeds to some creepy shed where the class was held. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

We ended up staying for at least 20 minutes. I am very interested in signing my daughter up for violin lessons and the store clerk took the time to patiently explain the different sizes of their violins, the craft and care their violins were purchases with, and their rent to own process. Incentives for paying cash up front but if you're renting one size that your child quickly out grows, your monthly payments will simply transfer to payment for the next size up. The store is small and sandwiched between Cheesy Janes and Half Price Books. Absolutely carried everything I needed. I imagine they're packed before band events! They are also closely connected to area high schools, middle schools, and elementary school music programs and take into consideration preferences and resale values of desired brands, etc. Enjoyed it a lot, loyal customer, for sure.

Totally agree w\JohnG. and a few others...(So sorry Bro)…read more I started pleasantly surprised to learn about a LOCAL music / service store. As an experiment, I took my guitar to the Helotes Store for a basic setup, truss rod, nut, bridge, fret dress and potentially fret scallop. If all went well, I would follow up with 3 other guitars and a 5 String bass. The intake person did not want details of what I wanted, to pass onto the tech. Told me the tech would call and get those details. The tech (New Braunfels) called me a week later, he chatted about various things except what I needed done. When I tried to explain in full detail, he interrupted me and went off topic again. I asked him to call me between 4:30 6:00 pm. Never did. A week after, I got a voicemail "your guitar is ready for pick up". I was already upset because NO WAY he would've known what to do. $110 DOWN THE TOILET. Now, I'll just undo the novice work and do my own work. I've been playing for over 35+ years... Yes, I'm old. I've designed and built guitars. So I just might know about setups. I miss my previous guitar tech ! He would first talk to you about your playing style, genre(s) of music you like. then ask you to pick up a guitar from his store that feels the best to you. Then begin discussing details. He was GOLDEN !!! "Stay Gold Pony Boy" Like a good and honest mechanic... If you're lucky enough find a good tech, demonstrate true appreciation and never loose touch ! Hillje Music has much to learn ! They have lost yet another customer, with advice to fellow musicians where NOT to go !!
