Cool place. pretty fun. It's nice and clean Kyle's cool,…read moreJuan was super helpful, however .... I had a very unique issue and had to run around back and forth. They were finally able to resolve the issue but didn't offer me any type of discount ... when they sold me a speaker that had a broken fuse took me 30 minutes to figure it out and it was the last one they had in stock. I was 2 hours late to my gig and they ended up giving me their display because it was all they had of that particular speaker so I could do my gig since I paid full price for a speaker that didn't even work. Christian said he wasn't able to refund me my $650 even tho it was their mistake, so he gave me store credit of $650. I became even more upset that he didnt even give me any type of discount when I decided to use my store credit to buy the most expensive speaker he convinced me to purchase. Then the last straw was when he told me he would call me and let me know when my products arrived and are ready for pick up.... He didn't tell me until 2 weeks later but he was so persistent with calling me in the beginning to make the sale ... I told him I don't check my email and appreciate his calls but taking 2 weeks to let me know it arrived.... Smh. All good I just would be cautious when purchasing with christian he's focused on sales not our happiness. He is quick to make sales and call me daily to check if I'm ready to go back to make a purchase but not so quick to tell me my order arrived and was ready for pick up. Or give me a deal when they made mistakes. Guess that's why he's the lead sales not lead in customer service. I will be back but I'll ask for Juan or Kyle to help me. Other than that I love my speaker I like that it works clear and loud through Bluetooth.

Came into Guitar Center to pick up an online order for a rainbow kids guitar…read more Walking in and I had to look for an employee for help with my order. Walked around a bit and was unsure of who worked here. An employee found me and asked if I needed any help. I responded with I was here to pick up an order. He said he would go to the back and look and see if my order was ready so I waited. I walked around a bit, hoping he would come back and get me once he had my order, but I was mistaken. As I saw him helping a customer at the register, I walked over to the register so he would be reminded that he was getting my order from the back. I was nonexistent and I waited almost 20 minutes before another employee came over to help me. I would understand if the store was packed because I know it is a few days till Christmas however, the store was pretty empty when I came in I was the only one there so I should've been able to pick up my order and leave and not have to wait more than 30 minutes. Maybe I'll have a better experience next time I come in because I did see some fun items for my grandkids.

Forget the Guitar Center or Norman's Rare Guitars in Los Angeles…read more This is the place you need to go for your instrument purchase and repair needs! They gave me a much better deal then those overpriced places and shockingly better then Craigslist on a twin reverb in excellent new condition. I felt quite at home there and they were very very helpful . I mentioned the Doobie Brothers by chance and they jubilantly explained in deatail that their building was once a recording studio where the Doobies first started at. They had an amp the Doobies had used for pre-show warmup for sale and was labeled as such too! The shop is well organized and displayed, the inventory was drool worthy and I was given quite the tour, even into the inner sanctum, where the King's jewels were displayed. A most memorable visit and a steal of a deal! Highly recommended! I will return. And avoid the other places .

We searched everywhere for a good music therapist for him back in 2024, and we were so fortunate to have found The Music Place as well as a great therapist! Since then, our child has had the opportunity to work with several teachers & therapists - including Janice, Ben, Michael, Asher, Jason & Charles- through an initial assessment, various adaptive lessons, and music camps - every single experience has been extremely positive and fun! His current therapist, Patrick, has been amazing & our child eagerly looks forward to his sessions every week. Over the past couple of years, the Music Place has helped our child's abilities truly blossom, and he has made incredible progress with singing, playing the piano, performing and even composing his own songs. They take a strengths-based and child focused approach, and every staff member has always been so patient and kind with him. The Music Place's motto is "Where learning is FUN and every child is special!", and based on our experience, they completely live up to it! We are so fortunate to be part of the Music Place family!
