Eric does a great job with him and he is learning how to play with private lessons and videos clips that Eric tailors to his needs. It has been a great experience for my son and I. I highly recommend Eric if you are looking for guitar lessons in this area. Update... Eric is still the best around. If you are in need of an instructor be sure to contact him.

Should have stumbled in here sooner. I have driven by it many times in the past but was always on…read morethe way to something else. This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

Sadly, this last Reno winter helped me understand why humidity control is necessary for solid wood…read moreinstruments in places with large temperature shifts. My ukulele developed a small crack, and needed repair. At the same time, how lucky to be in a town where a skilled luthier is on hand! Wesley at Strings of Reno (new name of the business) offers free estimates, and when I explained the problem, he gave a very detailed explanation of why humidity control is important and some immediate suggestions on how to manage it in a practical way. His estimate for repair was reasonable, and turnaround time was 3 weeks. Great to know if I need a new setup or adjustment he's nearby! His workshop, by the way, is pretty cool. You can see his tools and an array of instruments and some retail from the customer counter. TIP: From the street, go down the shared driveway/alley and park in the center when you see the "Strings of Reno" sign.

Really impressed with Wesley's knowledge and demeanor. Very friendly and helpful, and his shop (now…read morecalled Strings of Reno) is stocked with all kinds of useful stuff for musicians. His pricing for our ukulele repair was very reasonable and he didn't try to upsell us on anything. Also provide fantastic advice regarding proper humidification. The location itself is a little out of the way, but worth the drive for top-notch service that you can trust.

After retiring, I decided to take out some music. I bought a classic guitar and asked who played…read morethe saxophone in high school if she wanted to start practicing together. After pulling out the saxophone 30 years, unused, the cork was decaying, crumbling, and dry . We called around a few places, and these guys were fast efficient and a good price. Around $30. I went in with my wife to pick it up, told the guy I was doing some classical guitar and I got an on the spot private tutor lesson lol. It was pretty awesome. All of the suggestions The guy had for me as a new guitar player were perfect. He recommended me a good book to start with. How to properly hold a guitar, etc.. I know things are cheaper on the Internet, and the two things that he recommended to me were definitely cheaper, however, you can't get this type of service from Amazon .

In the past guitar center had some customer service issues and I felt was disorganized, which I had…read moreexperienced, however, my most two recent experiences have been nothing but stellar! I went to get an adaptor cable for my interface and the guy at the counter was very helpful, even when he was slammed. He could've easily turned me away or told me to come back because they were short staffed at the moment, but his pride in offering great customer service shined and he was able to juggle both and accomodate us with what we needed, answer my questions, upsell us and service the other customers as well. Another great experience recently I had was with Aiden, a talented guitar tech there, whom I recommend if you need help with bass or guitar questions. I was looking for a pedal as a Valentine's Day present for my kid, but wasn't sure where to begin. He took the time to listen to my needs and was more than helpful, knowledgeable, patient and informative. He explained specific pedals, price points, provided personal experience examples and even showed me some of his own pedals and how he set up his rig for his noise rock band - Shower Head. He played through some of the effects so I could hear them and answered questions for me that I had specific to daughter's aspiring preferences for sounds she wanted to achieve for her own musical project goals - shoe gaze and punk. With those two employees, guitar center has definitely started hiring and screening for more solid employees that are more than just there as warm bodies to fill space, but real musicians that care about customer service. With that said, it's nice to see that the hiring and quality has definitely improved. I hope this continues.

Up front I'll just say the employees at this store are awesome and are the only reason I'm giving…read morethis place 2 stars. They're always friendly and try their best to help. The problem is this store just doesn't stock much of anything. I leave there empty handed more often than not. If you're looking for anything outside what the majority of people use they will absolutely not stock it. They didn't even have finger and thumb picks the last time I was there. No tone bars for dobro/lap steel. No variety in flat picks, no resonator guitars, no real variety when it comes to strings. As a guitar store, I would think they would stock a variety of things guitarists would want to try, especially cheaper stuff like picks and strings. I don't know who does the ordering for this place but my guess is an AI algorithm at this point. Just another corporate shithole now I guess.
