So i took my Tele, Player II modified, in for a tune up... I bought it at Guitar Center and i got a…read moregreat price but it need some work... the frets stood out a bit, some of the frets were rough and needed polishing and the action was a little high... This is high end local shop and it was recommended by Fender as a place to get great service. I dropped it off early July and was told i would get it back around early August. No big deal to me I was in no rush. Its not a large location (located in a small strip mall). The shop is very nicely kept but all the guitars have string locks on them so there is no casual picking up guitars here. They have a great selection. I went by today to pick up my guitar and paid $90 for the tune-up and presumably a new set of strings, which I was told would be replaced. I got home and plugged in and in less that 5 minutes of playing my fingers were black from the strings! The strings had a weird feel to them I don't know what brand they use but it would not be a brand I would purchase. In previous setups at other shops the tech would always ask what type of strings i would like to have as replacements... this was not offered; my mistake for not specifying but considering it was a higher end i was guessing they would use better strings... Some of my frets are still rough so I don't know why they were skipped. The action itself did not appear to have been worked on at all... Overall, this was not a stellar experience here. My search for a tech goes on... word to the wise.... make a written list of what you want done if you have your guitar worked on here...

Poor customer service. I took an instrument to them to be repaired, called them 6 weeks later and…read morethey did not know where my instrument was. Megan said they would call me back. I called them back later that day and the next day, the manager did not bother to get on the phone with me but was relaying messages to Megan on the phone. They assured me they would be calling me back. The next day. I received a text message letting me know it would be six more weeks and the manager would update me. I had yet to talk to a manager or receive an apology. I texted back that it was unacceptable since they already had it 6 weeks and they lost it. They said they would try to get it done as soon as possible. Two weeks later I was informed the manager would be picking up the instrument and would contact me. A week later Gabe contacted me and was very apologetic for the situation. This was the first apology that I had received. Gabe is the reason this review got one star. He went above and beyond to apologize, communicate and called me more than once. I did get the instrument back. However, when I went to go pick it up, Megan acted like she did not want to help me or recognize that I was in the store. I paid over $300 to have the instrument fixed and my daughter informed me not all the pads were replaced. Very disappointed in this music store and the customer service received. I will be using a different music store in the future

He has such a calm spirit and really has a natural way of teaching. He also has an excellent musical education and background. Our son keeps improving his skills and we owe that to his experience at Music Lab. He also took an interest in guitar and bass. He first started on guitar and then moved to bass lessons. His bass teacher is also incredible. I think he could play and teach just about any instrument. He is very calm and intentional with his lessons. He is another good fit for our son. One of our favorite things about Music Lab, beyond the lessons, are the semi-annual music showcases that they put on for their students and their guests. It's the perfect way to showcase the students' new skills and highlight their growth through the years. The owners, teachers, and staff are all so supportive. Music Lab also puts on great summer camps with fun and talented teachers. Last year, our son did intermediate drum camp, and this year, he tried a musical theater camp. I love that there are so many areas for him to expand his talents! I even got brave and took voice lessons. My teacher was very patient and talented. I learned so much and improved my skills, too. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Music Lab!
