I love this place. Whenever I leave this place, I have a big smile on my face and feel spiritually…read morerefreshed. Some other places, when I leave, I feel guilty like I did something wrong. They treat their customers with the utmost respect. The long black-haired death metal guy who works here (Brendan) is an incredibly kind and friendly salesperson. Every time I come here, they make me feel welcome. Skip the Music Emporium and spend your money here instead. The spirit of Matt Leff is alive and well thanks to kind, well-meaning salespeople like Brendan. I never feel rushed or pressured and I almost always have to stop myself from talking Brendan's ear off whenever I visit. I'm sure even if I did annoy him, he might never even show it.

This is the worst music store I've been to in New England. I brought my cello to replace a string,…read moreI paid $20 for the string and $10 for the labor, the next day I went back to ask for re tuning the cello, the man kept yelling at me and told me to tune it myself. And I asked him for advice on how to tune my cello, he said there is none, no technics, just do it. I will never go back to this stinky store and super bad customer service ever again. If I can give 0 Star, this is what they deserved.

Th folks at Guitar Doctor have sold and set up a couple of guitars and an electric bass for me,…read moreover the past 35 years. A few repairs thrown in there, as well. I've never been steered wrong, oversold, or disappointed with their work. The expertise is endless! I was in an again recently, and happy to see not much has changed. I'd say if you want Guitar Center, go to Guitar Center. If you want individual attention, and a couple lifetimes of expertise, go see the Doc. If you want to support the Walmart of music, that's ok. Sometimes I do, too. But, if you want to shop local, support local businesses, and enjoy the mom-and-pop charm, go see the Doc. Reading the reviews here leaves me scratching my head. The one who had their bass setup done, came back a month later with questions and they didn't remember them...Ok. That's a 1 star review? Like, was there an actual problem? And, if there was a problem, did you have your receipt? Cause, I'm pretty sure they're not going to remember setting up your new bass a month later at Guitar Center, either. Or, maybe there is just more to that story... If you're on the fence, go check them out for yourself. Chances are good you'll think they're pretty cool, too.

She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!

Save yourself some time/trouble and don't shop at Boston Guitar Works…read more The owner is a jerk; bent over backwards to be a dick to me despite me being friendly and clearly excited about guitars and amps. I was like, "have you ever seen a compensated nut? Here, I'll show you a picture." And he was like "don't bother because I don't care." I was about to buy an expensive guitar and instead, I left very shortly after he said that. I vow never to return and never to buy anything from him on Reverb. His employees were pretty nice, though.

As a professional Actress and Vocalist, I often audition in Boston and NYC to be considered for various roles in musicals on and off Broadway. A few years ago, I received a call-back audition for a leading role in a new musical show. Exciting, but it was in NYC and I had less than a day to prepare for the audition (let alone book a ticket for the train and reserve a hotel room!). I called the owner of FMS, Lynne, and she was able to help me polish my piece that night! Although I realized that it wasn't a common request, and I didn't expect that I would be able to get an impromptu lesson at such short notice, she said to come to the school right away and worked with me so that I was better prepared and I had a fantastic audition! Filedheacht Music School cares about their students and they want you to succeed wherever you perform. The instructors are honest with us. Nobody goes home after a lesson with a beefed up ego unless they earned it.
