I just purchased a beautiful white on white California Corona Stratocaster from Westcoast guitars…read more Glen showed me a complete range of guitars from custom to manufactured. Literally every guitar I tried was impeccably set up and highly playable. He thoroughly explained a number of options so I could select what was best for me. I choose this Stratocaster because it was amazingly playable and the price was surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the guitar.

So I've NEVER gotten anything done to a guitar before. Im a bit of a noob. So I was totally unsure…read moreabout how to go about getting what I needed. My beautiful semi hollow vantage was a bit aged. The dials didnt work very well. Screws were rusty. Overall my baby just needed a good trip to the guitar doc for a checkup. After reading the reviews on westcoast it was a no brainer for me. They have an amazing track record FOR A REASON! Not only were they suuuuper sweet and made me feel comfortable even though I had no idea what I needed. But when it came to the work they discovered not as much needed to be done so they took care of my baby for such a great price! She looks good. She sounds good. She feels good. I will definitely be back for my other babies and when I'm ready to add to the collection. Thank you so much guys!!!

I met with the owner who gave me a tour of the shop and really took the time to show me how they do things. They have an amazing brand that plays well and looks amazing, I love my prestige guitar, and get many compliments. They don't just sell there own brand, they carry Breedlove, Takamine, Godin and Seagull. They also have a backroom full of vintage and custom guitars, some really great finds. I highly recommend these guys!

I've made a purchase and wanted to say I'm not at all happy with the service…read more I bought a small 40$ harmonica. I asked the gentleman if it was definitely a C major harmonica, which he assuredly confirmed. Went home and immediately noticed one of the scales was incomplete, therefore making it unusable for me. The F note was missing for one of the 2 scales. That was by design, of course, but what was not - was the gentleman not letting me know before the purchase that it was not a full C major scale. I didn't see the accompanying flyer either, because I bought a new one, not the one I saw on the counter. Going back the next day he was unfriendly, and refused to offer a refund, because "i had already blown into the harmonica". That to me is just an excuse to refuse the refund, because modern day sanitization. would have easily solved that. It's not the price tag that bothers me, but having been deceived and having received poor customer service does. Wrote them an email, but never heard back. Avoid this shop unless you really need their services.

Compounding the stress my GPS got me into bad situations. I also had trouble finding the store I didn't realize there is a second floor of stores. However, I was so happy to meet the owner.

First, though she played the violin and right away I believed. Yes, the sound was so much better than the old violin my daughter had been using.

I've been dealing with Chris and his family at Basone for years now. They have always gone out of…read moretheir way to give me the best service possible and treat me like family. Chris even made a call to Montreal to finally track down an obscure truss rod nut for my old Squier (and even the one he got required extra machining), when I was resolved to the fact that I'd probably have to get a new neck. They'll also not sell your something you don't need. I thought one of my guitars may need a feet dressing, but he saved me money by showing me it did not. Like most good luthiers, they have a huge backlog of work. If you want something done right away, this is probably not the place for you, unless you luckily land in a lull. It's worth the wait. You can get anything up to an entirely custom built guitar made here. They also deal in a nice combination of common and boutique brands for amps, pedals, accessories, etc. Highly recommended.

Super nice guy that runs the place. He was really patient with me while I rattled off the long list…read moreof issues that are currently plaguing my heavily modded electric guitar. I came in asking for some electrical work grounding/nicer soldering, a quick nut filing and a bit of love for the fretboard. I was quoted roughly 10 days. As someone who likes to support local business and bases my choices off of the good reviews I said what the heck and gave them a shot. I was at no point concerned with the cost of the work as this is my main instrument, so I didn't base my choice off of that. I did also mention that I had to leave to perform in a festival near the end of the month. After 13 business days (18 days total) I went back in and just grabbed my guitar which had yet to be serviced. The guy was quite overbooked which is understandable. The gentleman apologized and threw me two packs of free strings for the inconvenience, (however the pack I had in the case was no longer there so really only 1) He said he was going to try to get the guitar done by the end of the day, but at this point I leave in 4 days and no longer have the luxury of time. Obviously this was an isolated case and I don't expect that everyone would have a similar experience and this review is in no way aimed to slander the owner who treated me with nothing but respect. This is meant to be an reflection of my experience. That being said I'd definitely consider shopping there again, however I wouldn't take anything in for repair without confirming a hard return date and as a result I am now left scrambling to find a capable guitar tech to service my guitar on very short notice with very little time.
