Closed business. Sign on door said something about restringing instruments. But store looked empty

Brought my amp with brand new tubes for braiding. a week later I got a call saying he dropped and broke my brand new tubes Wich will take another week. Said he would replace them with new ones. Took a look at the "new" tubes they replaced and the "Apex" stickers are falling off....never seen "new" tubes do that before. Where are my "broken" tubes and the receipt for the "new" tubes? Could it be the amp tech took off with my new tubes and put in used tubes? My "hi-gain" amp sounded like blues combo amp after the bias. Very dissatisfied. All my volume nobs were exactly the same as I left them which suggest he didn't even test out the amp. read more

I just want to sing Dan's praises (He's the manager and Luthier at JT's music) Not only is he one of the friendliest and knowledgeable people in his field, but he just makes you want to keep coming back in the store. I'm a beginner and I had so many questions learning guitar, and what not. When i first came in he fixed the action on my epiphone les Paul and it played like a dream. The other few times I came in to get a strap screw fixed and just chat with him. PLEASE go to JT's music for all your music needs. Dan is the BEST!!!! read more

The guys are nice enough and their work is generally acceptable. They have worked on three or four of my basses and the results were ok...just simple tune ups; truss rod adjustment and check intonation. The last one that I took in for a basic tune up came back with fret buzz on the D and G strings. I called and asked if I could bring it by and have them re-check their work. I was told that the tech was out of town. In fact, for two months I've been told the same thing...sorry the tech is on vacation...he's gone on personal business...now he's in Oklahoma on family business! Like I said they seem to be nice enough guys, but for two months they have no tech??? How do you run this kind of a business with no tech? This seems like they are, or have become a very unreliable place. Sorry to say but I have to find another place...they're just too unreliable. Maybe Gottschalks Music there in Clovis. read more

Dan set up two guitars for me with fresh strings in a matter of a couple of hours and at a great price. He and his staff were friendly, attentive, and fast. My guitars feel like new, better guitars. Much easier to play, making it more fun, particularly for these battered, old sausage fingers. A great set up makes all the difference in the world. read more

Update 8/10/2019 I came back after purchasing another bass to get it fully set up with new strings, intonation and a slightly warped neck. Dan went above and beyond and knocked it out in the same day as I was in a time crunch! I absolutely love the guys there and I catch myself hanging out and shooting the breeze often longer than I'd like to admit. Needless to say I trust the guys with my gear and they never let me down. read more

This is a great place for all your guitar needs! The guy we spoke with was super friendly and courteous. Just a friendly guy to talk to. The prices were competitive (way cheaper than the usual chain music stores), quality was great, and the store had exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this place! read more

JT's Music - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - Clovis, California

See all

I am fairly new to Clovis and also new to guitar playing. I have been a customer of JT's Music for over a year. I have taken lessons from T.C., have had guitars worked on/set up by Dan their Luthier and have met the owner J.T. This shop is the best in the valley, small but well stocked. If you need work, Dan is the best, he transformed my entry level cheap guitar into an instrument that rivals high dollar instruments in sound quality and action. He now has my Taylor guitar for setup and I can't wait to get it back from Dan. If you need lessons, instructors are available, you need stuff, they have stuff! Come in, be treated like a friend. Shop with the guys that love and live music, you won't be disappointed. read more

I had a music emergency but JT's music saved my morning. The quaint shop had a huge selection. If you see what you need, it can be ordered special. I highly recommend the experience. Located in Old town Clovis and open early morning. read more

First time at JT's Music - could not be happier with the staff and service. Took in one of my guitars for a setup and pickup/wiring repair - competitive prices and very quick turn around. Quality workmanship! My guitar has not played or sounded this good in the last 15 years! Happy to have found JT's Music and Dan after relocating to the area. Pulling some more favorites out of storage for repairs and setups now that I have someone I have trust/confidence in! read more

Got some work done on my guitar here a few weeks ago. The good: Dan their guitar luthier was really knowledgeable and friendly. He was very willing to explain to me what the work entailed and clearly knows his stuff. He was upfront about when he could get the work done got my guitar back to me in just a couple days. Excellent work, though the work could have been done a little neater. The store also had a nice selection of parts and accessories, as well as a wall of guitars, and some miscellaneous amps. The meh: The shop is a bit out of the way, but what small shop isn't? They didn't seem to carry much that you couldn't get at a large guitar store; kinda wish they mixed it up from what you could find at the big store so there would be more of a reason to shop there. That being said, there is some variation and they do carry some alternate stuff. The bad: The other store clerk (who I would assume is JT?) was really unfriendly. Minus one star for him; if my first interaction was with him, I'd have not come back. Overall, I'm a fan and would come here again. Edit: Well, I came here again. Again I am going to remove one more star. I had some more work done on a different guitar, and I'm realizing that Dan is maybe not the most thorough guitar tech out there. I left my guitar with him and asked him not just for a setup, but to make it perfect. I told him I would pay for fret leveling, nut/saddle adjustments, etc, whatever it took to make this guitar play as perfectly as it could. I knew that there were some frets that needed leveling and that the nut slots could be cut lower, so I gave him an open ticket to give that guitar the full treatment, and I was very clear with him that I would pay for whatever extra things needed to be done to get it there. When he gave it back to me, all he had done was adjusted the truss rod and adjusted the intonation. The guitar played better, but it wasn't perfect like I asked for. He charged me for a standard setup which was around $70. I checked the frets and they were still unleveled, and there was still work to be done lowering the saddles and nut slots. He's still a great guy and clearly knows his stuff, but I may just look for someone else next time. read more

We brought in a broken electric guitar that another store had been unable to repair. Dan was incredibly nice and helpful and was able to repair and tune our guitar within 24 hours. It was an awesome experience, and we would highly recommend JT's Music. read more

Dan did an excellent job on my bass. If you're looking for an experienced guitar/bass luthier, Dan is the man!

Had some pickups and new wiring installed by Dan. He did an awesome job in a short amount of time. The guitar sounds great. Don't think I'll take my business anywhere else as the staff was as professional as it gets and the work was fantastic. He also fixed a friend of mine's acoustic Marshall guitar. It had a hole in the side. If you didn't know it you probably wouldn't even see it. That's what to expect from JT's Music. If they can't fix it, they will be the first to let you know. I'll be back. read more

I researched for a reputable guitar luthier to repair my electric Fender guitar and glad I decided to go with JT's Music after talking to the owner Dan over the phone. I drove 1 hour and 20 min to the shop where Dan greeted me with courtesy and immediately I felt a great vibe unlike what one usually gets at the bigger guitar retail stores. Dan made it a priority to get my guitar fixed that same day and had it ready to rock after just an hour. Great rates, great service, I highly recommend this shop and will be my go to shop for my guitar needs in the future. read more
