For someone that claims to be a luthier with 20 years experience he cannot tell quality parts from poorly made knockoffs. He has no problem lying about what parts are on a guitar either. This is not a buyer beware scenario, he'll cheat you and not even care. I did contact him to see if he would work with me, he wouldn't. I don't blame him, he got his money, just bad customer service. I would never recommend him to anyone. Do not buy.

The person led me back to the lesson area and I waited for about 15 minutes (not happy that my appointment started late but whatev). I chose Sharon because when I called to book the appointment, I was told she has the most experience with newbies and old people (Haha! YES, I'm an old person, Gen-Xer here. I told them I needed an instructor who had patience). Sharon was great with explaining a few key tips and showed me the E, F and G keys. It was a helpful lesson, I did learn some new things and before I left the lesson area she gave me a printout of the notes to practice then walked me to the front. One of my New Year's resolutions is learn how to play a guitar so... this is a start!

Visited September 26th..see receipt…read more This place is off Broadway in Chico. After having amazing suishi at the Rawbar we walked over to this shop which is just a few steps away from the restaurant. They have so many toys! Stuffed animals! Puzzles! Jewelry! They have house decor items and some yummy smelling candles! This place is packed with so much stuff that the kiddos will have a blast looking at all the toys! You could spend hours in here! They also have nostalgic items which I love ( bought a mood ring and some funny gum). In the back of the shop is the Yo Yo Museum which houses the largest Yo Yo and Yo Yo memorabilia! Lovely shop with kind employees!

Been meaning to write this review for awhile…read more This place is awful. We signed our seven year old up for ukulele lessons and he was so excited! We got a teacher that honestly just sucked. We had signed up and prepaid for thirty minute lessons once a week. Not only was he flakey, but when he didn't postpone our lessons, he was mostly late to them. He didn't make up the time at the end of the lesson, but often also cut the lesson short. If it wasn't one or the other, it was both. He also consistently came unprepared. Spent a large portion of the lesson printing out sheet music. Why hadn't he done that previously? I couldn't tell you. Then he would chat with our son asking HIM to choose the music. Our son just wanted to learn, he didn't care what they played. And even when he did select something, the teacher would then spend the remainder of their time attempting to search for and transcribe the music. We attempted to reach out to the owner several times. Our names and number were taken each time, usually without a call back. When we did get calls back, it was from the manager or from a woman who could have also been a manager, both of whom were very rude. When I finally spoke to the owner, he seemed to want to be proactive about it. Offered to compensate us for several lessons that we either never received or that were only given partially due to tardiness or incompetence. He also switched us to a different teacher. Apparently we weren't the only ones with complaints about the other guy, so they fired him. The new teacher, Alex, is probably the only person who provided a positive experience for us at this place. I wish he'd just do lessons on his own as we would never recommend anyone go through this place. In the end, we never saw a penny of a refund. No lessons up ended up being credited as promised. And worst of all, they tried to claim we owed them money. For what, you ask? Lessons that were never given while they claimed to be "working all of this out". If I could give this place zero stars, I would. You're better off learning an instrument from your family friend or your dad with mediocre guitar skills from his high school garage band days than you would be at this place.

This is really the same store as Broadway Pawn... note the same address…read more They have quite a few band instruments and student violins to the left of the jewelry cases in the center of the store. The lady running the band and violin side is a saxophone player herself. The violins are mostly for beginners, but they occasionally get something nicer in. The prices on the violin side seem more reasonable than on the guitar side. Last I looked, their violin supplies were somewhat limited- just Super-Sensitive rosin and strings. Parking is street parking is a busy section of downtown Chico... there may be some spaces around the downtown park nearby though if there isn't an event happening there. Sometimes it's easier to park on Salem on the other side of the block. Out of towners remember that Broadway is a one-way street! One thing that annoys me about this place... they close pretty early on weekdays, (five-ish) and are totally closed on weekends.

Really have a grand time when I'm here…read more Love going to their in-store café. They have many, many tasty snacks [savory and sweet] and coffee drinks. The scenery and atmosphere in the café are very calm and soothing. Excellent lighting too, making for a great reading area. And now the rest of the store. The selection of books and magazines is impressive at this store. I love going down the aisles, taking books off the shelves and sampling them a little before making a decision. There are chairs out in case you want to sit and read for a while. It's wonderful that Barnes & Noble is still around, because I just love book stores. In our digital age, they sadly are practically becoming extinct. On to service, I have yet to have a bad experience with employees at this location. For value I'd say the prices aren't bad. They often have sales going on.

Firstly, did you know that when you return an online purchase, due to the negligence of Barnes & Noble, you do not get reimbursed for your shipping cost? So when you receive a book in bad condition, you only get reimbursed for the book. Secondly, the location of the store has become increasingly unpleasant to shop at... Thirdly, not overly impressive staff, friendliness, helpfulness, etc.. Makes me sad because it used to be a highlight to go shopping for a new book.
