Roots Music is hands down the best in Lincoln for buying and selling music gear. Even if you set…read moreaside the fact that they are Local, your greeted at the door by the shop dog (very good boy) and the owner remembers your name -- Roots would still be a 5 star shop and a notch above the rest. Friendly, Honest, Skilled, Helpful and Affordable. No need to worry if you're getting a fair deal or quality instrument/repair.

Don't take you're extended range guitars here...they obviously don't even have the knowledge to fix…read moreor work on them...I took my schecter omen 8 string for a re sting and full set up with MY D'addario's 8 string set that are MADE for my type of guitar...well I guess they didn't wanna use those so they stole my strings and put "ernie balls" on instead and if you are a well experienced guitarist you will know almost immediately that those are not your strings...looked at the receipt and it said they replaced 2 of the strings because THEY broke them...one of them that they crammed into my low #F tuning head was a high string for a bass...didn't even ask, just went ahead and did it...and I have hip shot tuning heads I installed and they broke it and tried to hide it! Literally just forced it in there...i was so frustrated all I could do was laugh. When I called then out they reimbursed me 15 dollars for my strings that THEY broke then when a couple days later I'm playing and of course like 3 of them snap because ernie ball sucks when it comes to strings...went to restring it and noticed the damage and not ONE of my strings I gave them to put on it was on it "hint hint" the balls are different colors AND my strings cost almost 20 bucks and they only gave me 15 back and they HAVE my strings I gave them there so why couldn't they just have used another D'addario set?...the action is all messed up they used different gauge strings...and now literally the only 8 string guitar that I have is absolutely trashed right now...I will not be going back there ever again...just save yourself the time and don't do it...take it somewhere more PROFESSIONAL they obviously just want your money and don't give a damn about how much music means to you and well...now i can't play for a long time cause I don't have the money to fix it. Thanks Sincerely, someone who has been going to dietze since she was 8...I'm 34 I will not be going back. Lol I'm beyond angry. -Cayla M

They will sell an instrument to someone who is under 19, but they won't buy an instrument from that…read moresame person. Annoying. The store is overflowing with equipment and the personnel may know where everything is but it is overwhelming as a consumer. I think you can get some good deals here. The customer service is inconsistent though. Some of the employees are super friendly and others are pretty dismissive.

Store has some pretty good deals however be warned there are restocking fees if you change your mind on an instrument. They also don't give you much money for things you bring in to sell. But staff is super nice and helpful at picking out a product. They have a decent selection of drums and misc other instruments but it's main focus here is guitars. They also sell sound equipment.

Absolutely unacceptable experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering this company to look…read moreelsewhere. We just opened our moving truck and almost everything is broken. Not only was the furniture damaged, but many of our items were not wrapped or protected at all. From the start, the packing job looked careless. Boxes were stacked without regard to weight, items were wobbling in the truck, and furniture that we specifically pointed out as expensive or fragile was left unwrapped. I even climbed into the truck myself and could clearly see that it was not packed properly. One of the movers (I believe his name was Rusty) appeared to be brand new and repeatedly dropped boxes while loading. At one point clothing items were literally scattered across the yard because he dropped them coming down the ramp. It was incredibly frustrating to watch. There were two other movers -- I think their names were Quintin and Axel. Only one of them was polite and apologetic. The other was extremely dismissive and arrogant. Every time my mom or I raised concerns about wrapping furniture or packing items more securely, he brushed us off and repeatedly reassured us that he had been doing this for 11 years and that everything was fine. We even labeled the boxes ''Fragile" or "Nothing on Top"- as pictured below. Clearly, it was not. Despite our multiple requests to properly wrap furniture and secure fragile items, those requests were ignored. Now we're left unpacking a truck full of damaged belongings that could have easily been prevented with basic care and professionalism. This experience was careless, frustrating, and incredibly disappointing. When you trust a company with your home and belongings, you expect at the very least that they will handle them with care. That did not happen here. I would not recommend this company to anyone. PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE.
