My Christian friend and I visited last year. I was gifting him my BC Rich special black electric…read moreguitar, but it needed some fixes for it to be nice for him to learn how to play. We brought it in, the workers were very excited about the guitar and said how awesome of a guitar type it is. Left buying a stand for his accoustic guitar. Later on in the week, my Christian friend brought it to them by himself. They had called me stupid and a liar (??) , trying to scam the poor trusting fellow out of money and unecessary repairs obviously. He called me then thankfully and I fixed it myself easily. Like a mechanic eh? I wouldnt trust these guys. Edit To Add Second Review: I brought in my MacBook that had something stuck into the headphone port (a piece of headphone jack). They said it needed to replace the whole Logic Board!! I knew better and went online with all the tips and did it myself in 5 minutes. Stay clear unless you want to donate to fraudulent failed musicians and technicians. God bless everyone

These instruments are--bar none--the WORST commercially available electronic 'organ' that this…read morereviewer has ever had the displeasure to play. Tampa Jesuit has one in a remarkably beautiful and reverberant room. One would think anything could sound good there but...sadly, no. The 8 channel audio is horribly tinny (this is large 3 manual with three 32' in the pedal--only 8 channels?! Um, hello?!!?). The voicing is badly unbalanced and the samples are so awful that in some cases they sound like they are being played backwards (like any 2' in the low octave or perhaps any reed)--certainly not one sample per note. Any forte is painful and tutti is nothing short of positively irritating. And then there is the actual build quality. Consoles are put together with plywood panels and drywall screws (this is not an overstatement). The keyboards are actually quite nice to the touch, but the bushings don't seem to withstand wear and keys are not level after just two years of use. For 100K they could have done much better, and for heaven's sake at least put midi jacks and capability in if it has to be digital so we can plug in something worth listening to into the poorly thought out and cheap tinny underscaled audio system instead. So, if digital vs. pipes is the difference between real and plastic flowers, somehow these did manage to get this product smell remarkably like a landfill. Buy real pipes, save some noble part of our musical heritage from the landfill perhaps, but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE PIECES OF CANADIAN BUILT JUNK.

We look in the used section and spot my favourite guitar in the world. A Black Vintage Modified Telecaster Custom for the ridiculously awesome price of $280.00 CDN! Amazing! The guy tuned it up for me, and I played it, and it was a dream. I walked away with it for a ridiculously awesome price.
