    Of all the times I've been here, I can't think of a time when anyone tried asking if I'm okay or do…read moreI need anything. Today I'm looking for a new bass, but will have to go try another place.

    I've been going to this Guitar Center since 2011 and seen a lot of changes. They used to have a…read moredecent variety of high end Martin and Gibson guitars, but on my last visit there were very few high end guitars. They did have a large selection of low to middle price fretted instruments but some were not in the best shape. According to the Guitar Center web site, they had variety of guitarlele's and Cordoba Mini II guitars in stock. When I went to the store, they had one guitarlele with a broken 6th string, and one Cordoba Mini II Bass with bad fret buzz on the 1st and 3rd strings. If you are looking for musical accessories, they do have a large stock. But the problem is that on my last few visits the store was severely understaffed. So if anything you want is locked, or requires staff assistance, it can be very difficult to get help. Even paying for your purchases can be problematic, since there was only one register open when I visited and the two staff members behind it seemed more interested in talking with each other than helping customers. I know that corporate Guitar Center has ongoing financial problems, but they need to invest some money back into their stores to make the shopping experience better for customers.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Always willing to help if you have questions but doesn't hover if you want to just browse and check the guitars or banjos. I used to think Rich in repairs was great too until I brought in my Martin guitar last year for repairs. It had got to dry and the top cracked. Rich said he would need to humidify it to start with then he could make the repairs. He did also mention that there had been a lot of guitars brought in for the same problem and it might be 2 or 3 months before I get my guitar back. No problem. I checked back about 4 months. Not ready yet. I checked back about 6 months and he said the repair was made and he showed me and explained what he had done done and that he just needed to complete the finish on top. It's a black guitar. He said it would be about 2 weeks. No problem. I checked back in about 6 weeks. Not done. He said probably 2 weeks again. I checked back in about a month. Still not done. In total he had my guitar for 14 and a half months. I just got it back today. I didn't see Rich. A lady came out to see me then she went back to see about my guitar then came back to the front and located it on a shelf. She said it was finished. I asked why I hadn't been notified that it was finally done as Rich said he would do. She told me that a voicemail had been left for me. I am certain I did not receive a voicemail and I also checked with the repair area that they had my correct phone number on 2 separate occasions so I could be notified when repairs were complete. Ned from the sales department has called me on on a few occasions in regards to a lay away I had going. He has also left me messages. To be totally transparent about this situation I will say that I was not charged for this repair today but I still feel very mistreated as over 14 months of having my guitar seems very neglectful. For at least 8 of those months a decision was made to spend time working on someone else's instrument instead of mine and then I still didn't even get notified when it was done. I would really hope that my case is not a common occurrence but it really did happen and I think very unfair. I hope whoever reads this is treated better. Jerry Majerus 406-208-7127

    Absolute wonderland if you play stringed instruments or even if you just want to look at an…read moreincredible variety of instruments - there are a lot of unique vintage pieces here as well as a great selection of more typical modern ones. So many one-of-a-kind things here. The most beautiful ones are made here by John, the luthier/owner. He's happy to talk to you about instruments and to show you around his shop and the rest of the building - part of it is a vintage theater, the kind that used to be found in all parts of Omaha. Fascinating! Not long ago I stopped in to look at guitars. Mind you, I don't actually PLAY guitar, but I have gotten to a somewhat competent level at ukulele and baritone ukulele, and therefore I am craving the novelty of something new, that I can be bad at. I mentioned this to the woman working there, and she said "well, why don't you just take a class with John and he can teach you to build one"? Wow, this woman GETS ME. A total level up from what I was considering doing. I'm still thinking about doing this. But on this visit, I was just here to get a string, as moments earlier I had purchased a uke at a thrift store and it had a broken string. John had his assistant put on the string. He offered to show me how to put on the string, but since I already know (but just didn't have a string) I looked around the store and stroked a lovely cat on the counter. Which she enjoyed until she abruptly didn't, we know how cats are. Anyway, John wouldn't accept any money for the string or for the putting-on of the string. That was nice. Great place!

    Outstanding craftsmanship! I took my old 1978 Giannini guitar for a bridge and crack repair and…read moreeverything came back better than I expected! It is extremely hard to find where the crack was and the bridge looks like it never had come off. Everything sounds and look as it did before. Thank you again for a superb job.
