This review is on the customer service only. I haven't been able to experience the actual studio…read moreyet, but I hope to in the near future. I purchased "educational studio time" (not sure of the exact name, but the service is 1 hr long at $100) for my son who loves music and aspires to be a producer/audio engineer, rapper, etc... Before booking the time I had a few questions. I was weary because the recommended/required form of communication is via email only and I wasn't sure I would hear back in a timely fashion. Boy was i surprised, not only did I hear back within less than a 24 hour period the response was informative and engaging (asked questions to clarify what exactly I was trying to accomplish. Moreover, clarifying what my son was trying to accomplish. After a few back and forth emails the educational session was recommended. I completed the order. I was contacted again, very quickly to schedule the time and date. I received a calendar notification with thorough details to getting to the studio on my assigned date. Unfortunately, my personal circumstances changed and I needed to cancel the session. I sent an email explaining my situation. Again, I received prompt courteous communication accepting the cancellation and noting the refund process. Based on my experience with the customer service I really hope I can eventually book and keep a session for my son.

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.

My ensemble, Rendezvous, had a tall order: record eight songs in one day. We couldn't have done it if it weren't for Craig's skill and efficient use of time. We spent another day refining the mix, doing some pitch correction and fixing some bad notes and minor timing problems. In the end, we got a great demo and it didn't cost us an arm and a leg. We plan on going back to Paradise with our next recording project. There simply is no better studio in Sacramento than Paradise. Highly recommend!
