Minda also teaches lessons, so I signed right up. Great experience. She's patient, willing to explain things to my engineering brain, and brilliant. More, when it came time to change a string, Minda gave me a lesson. She even let me change a few strings on a harp she was working on. Telling me how to do it, showing me how to do it, then letting me do it but talking me through each step. Finally, doing it on my own but with her watching. Great way of learning. I was able to go home and confidently change the string myself. Five of five stars. And an extra star because she's just so darn nice about it.

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Guitar Center…read more I brought in my bass for a setup -- paid $100, and while the setup itself was done well, I found a chip in the finish right by the truss rod adjustment near the nut. That damage was not there when I dropped it off. If you're taking your instrument in for service, inspect it thoroughly before and after. I trusted them with my gear, and they failed me. Edit: Guitar Center got back to me and resolved the issue, and I'm happy with the outcome. It was a bit difficult to get in touch with the manager at first, but I appreciate that they ultimately made it right.

Update (2024): This company is still impacting my credit. After explaining to them that I never signed a contact and was going to cancel lessons, they deferred me to a collection agency. I would stay away from this company and their questionable business practices. Revised: I almost never leave negative reviews. Be careful before signing anything (underlined) as they use legally binding, multi year contracts. My wife signed it unknowingly, and our (both) credit is still recovering. We now use private lessons instead.

I recently took my headless bass there for a set up. I'm SUPER picky when it comes to how my bass…read moreshould feel and play, but Richard absolutely took care of me and then some. Richard was extremely kind and easy to work with and offered for me to try out the bass before I took it home so he could fine tune the action to get it to my perfect height. In the end, he set up my bass with silky smooth low action as requested and I have to say, this bass has never played better! The action was just at that perfect sweet spot where the neck played like butter but high enough to where the notes really sing. Ever since I took it home, I haven't been able to put it down. The bass is just a joy to play and plays the best its ever played since owning it! I swear I'm not exaggerating when I it's just about the best set up I've ever had on this bass. It should be noted I also came in with some issues on the headless hardware that were unique enough to not have an easily searchable answer on google. I told Richard and, after working on my bass, he gave me some tips to try and so far, they've worked like a charm. At no extra charge too! I really cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking to have any kind of work done on your instrument for a fair price with supberb customer service and expertise, you owe it to yourself to try out Richardson Guitar Works. This place is the real deal!

This was an amazing experience and I will certainly be back again should we need another instrument.

My daughter and I looked at each other I guess that's your violin and it's ready, go get it from him. No thanks, no waving no explanation at all. So we left and when we got home and the violin still out of tune. What a waste of time and worst customer service.

Feels like she is getting fitted for her wand in Diagon Alley every time we go. They measure her arms, give her a violin, take it back, give another violin - all until they find the perfect one for her. Also it's like magic for my seven year old beginner violinist to see all of these expert musicians trying out cellos, playing a few violins, etc. while we wait for our turn. We're always excited when we need to go.
