I went in they quoted me $90 for a cleaning and shine with an estimate of 1-2 week turnaround time.

My very inpatient son after a week in a half asked me to call and get an update. I did but they didn't have an update. A little over 2 weeks I called a they say instrument will be in on Friday.

IB Music is a Latino family owned an operated music shop in Colton, CA…read more They provide music lessons, rentals, giving back to the IE community and much more.......... I signed up two of my boys for music lessons. They have reasonable prices for lessons. Victor is my boys music instructor. He is knowledgable and works great with kids. (Also works with all age groups) IB music creates a safe and fun learning environment, they also treat you like Family. Now as a mom the most important thing is knowing my kids are in a safe learning environment. ( So that sealed the deal for me) We started both out with the 30 min classes 1st to try them out. I saw progress right away. So we are doing the 1hr classes now which cover so much more. Boys have been coming consecutively for about 4 months now. They both have learned a lot and are continuing to increase there musical skills. IB music is truly a a diamond in the rough and an asset to the IE community. If you are interested in getting music lessons for yourself or your family this is the place to come:)

We ended up setting up a day for me to drop off my guitar. That day I met Kriss and he was very professional. We chatted a bit about the guitar, and music. Super cool dude. That same day he texted to let me know he didn't have a small part and had to order it. But that he also might have an extra. He just wanted to inform me that there may be a delay of 1-2 days. I honestly didn't expect to have it back soon anyways. He communicated with me through the whole processes. This was nice. I mean.. he had my baby (guitar) so that was appreciated. A few days later the guitar was ready. I met with Kriss again and he showed me the work. Man.. the guitar looked gorgeous. We chatted a bit and then I was off. My main concern was the feedback/hum. Plugged it in and nothing. It was a crisp clear sound. Sounded amazing! The setup was great as well. I was happy with the service. It was a few months ago so I can't recall the exact price but it was definitely under $100. Great value for what I received. I have a few other guitars and basses I'll be taking to Kriss. I highly recommend Modified Sounds.

Lisa was very friendly and easy to talk to. She made signing up for my guitar classes simple and stress free. The entire team made my first guitar purchase unforgettable. This is how customer service should be done.
