The before and after difference is dramatic. It's now a pleasure to play, with low action, smooth frets, and a proper bridge height/radius, among other improvements.

Highly recommended.

One of the current teachers at SMC, Phil Korytko, I have had the honour of playing guitar with from time to time. I can easily state he one of the best guitarists I have ever met.

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 would highly recommend G&G Music for your DJ needs…read more My husband and I used them for our wedding on May 30, 2015 and Terry did a fantastic job. He's super friendly and accommodating and we got exactly what we were looking for. His prices were better than anyone else we found and I can assure you he was worth every penny and more.

We were planning to have G&G Music DJ our wedding, but after working with them we don't plan to…read moreever do business with them again. We met with a particular member of G&G's staff on April 29, 2018 to discuss what we wanted for our wedding, and he seemed to be able to offer a lot of what we wanted just barely within our budget (likely because we told him our budget ahead of time - something we don't plan on doing again in the future). Things were sounding good, so we asked him to send us a formal quote. We received the quote a couple days later and found that there were numerous prices that were above what we were told at our meeting with G&G. There were also items on the quote we said we didn't want (such as a photo booth), among other issues. We contacted the individual we had met with and brought up our issues with the contract to him. In our email, we used a particular price inconsistency in the quote as an example: an item that we were told was $50 even at the meeting, which was now being quoted as "$70-$370". So, in the best case scenario the item would be $20 more than we were told, and in the worst case scenario it would be hundreds more (something we couldn't afford multiple instances of on top of all the other wedding expenses). Instead of apologizing for the confusion and working with us to make the quote more agreeable and clear for both parties, G&G responded by saying that "$50 was a rough starting price". The individual then proceeded to say that if we bundled the item with another package (which we did not want and never discussed prior), there would be a discount that would bring the item to $52.50. He said, "so in reality I'm really only $2.50 off in price", leaving out the fact that to get that price we need to pay an extra $100 for a package we don't want. After a few emails back and forth, the conversation ended on May 14, 2018, where we said the following: "Our concern is that prices at our meeting were presented as exact prices we should budget for. Now, looking over the contract and emailing back and forth, we're finding out various items were quoted to us at the absolute lowest value and that we would probably need to pay quite a bit more than discussed to receive what we expect." And his response was simply: "Let me revise the contract and see if it works for you both. Im playing on the island till late Wednesday so ill be able to get to your contract Thursday." Fast forward to May 25, 2018 (a week and a half later). I sent the individual another email asking for an update. He responded this morning with the following: "I'm sorry I should have emailed you sooner but this is a very difficult letter to write. I certainly don't want any hard feelings. After your last email I felt like my integrity was being brought into question. I understand the confusion with the [item] but your email implied that I had changed quotes on "various items." I've been playing in bands and Djing for a very long time and this is the 1st time anyone has been unsatisfied or accused me of changing prices. I want this to be a very positive experience for you both and it's not feeling that way. You should enjoy every part of the planning right up to and including your wedding day so I feel it would be best if you found another DJ." IN SUMMARY, if you plan to work with G&G Music, just know that they are never in the wrong, and if you have a complaint with their service they will tell you they will resolve it, then proceed to not say or do anything related to your request. Since we are the first of both our friend groups to be getting married, G&G Music can look forward to not receiving business from any of our friends and family. Now, we will work on finding a new DJ after wasting the last month working with G&G Music.
