Very helpful, good selection, reasonable prices. One of my favorite locally owned shops

Went to get my daughter's violin tuned and to purchase a tuner. Wonderful customer service super helpful. And he's been in business for a long time, every time I've needed something I've always been treated with kindness. Wonderful business and happy to support whenever we need violin strings, etc. read more

Dale is a great person to deal with. We walked in first thing in the morning and walked out with a bunch of instruments from SANTA to our children. Huge selection read more

Dale was an amazing person he was very friendly and helpful. They very nice stuff with a well reasonable price

The prices in this store are extremely high. The instruments and amplifiers in there can be bought online for a fraction of the cost. Don't waste your money. Try reverb.com, guitar center, ebay, etc. The guitars I found in there can be bought for literally half the price elsewhere. read more

Dale is a really nice guy. We have been coming to him for years and trusted him very much. We recently bought some guitar strings from him and believed they were the right size and brand. We had the opportunity for someone who specializes in guitars and guitar repair take a look at our guitar and to our surprise he told us not only were they fakes/ knock off but they were also not the size as detailed on the package. We are extremely disappointed to have paid what we did for strings that may have harmed our guitar. I don't believe we can trust his products anymore sadly. read more

Dale has gotta be the best person I met in a while super kind and would give a great deal on a guitar! I'm taking his guitar shop over guitar center any DAY!! Thanks dale. read more

I don't live in Turlock but needed my guitar & bass fixed. I called Guitar Center (bad idea to begin with) and they had zero techs on staff. So I called Dale's and of course he was able to fix them. He also didn't charge anything for the repairs so I picked up a few other things I needed. Will definitely take on the drive again if I need anything. 10/10 read more

This is an amazing music store! Definitely one of my favorites in the area. The owner and staff is really kind and knowledgeable. Great selection of instruments! read more

Funny that this popped up on here. I can't truly attest to the quality of the business within. I've seen and am aware of it's location, and should I ever had the need to visit a store of this type, Dale's would have been the first store I visited. However, through a recent encounter via Facebook, I was blocked for asking a question because a post of theirs didn't line up with the end result. It had to do with a contest where they were giving away 3 pairs of tickets and only had 2 winners. I asked about the other pair, and they said it was given in pairs of 3. I simply suggested that the post should have been worded differently and thanked them for responding to my post. Not long after I was blocked by the page and the comments between us were deleted. Petty stuff, but leaves little interest in ever visiting the store. read more

Dale has supplied my kids and grand kids with major instruments over the years..and kids being rough and using some as defensive tools dale has put them back together..I truly believe my daughters guitar was done ..fell from roof and landed on its bottom the neck was straight up..it pushed the plugs thru the inside..dale recrafted the wood and fixed it..good as new.. love the owner always happy to greet you... read more

Dale and his staff are clearly in the customer service business. Set up music lessons with Dale once a week. He is a great music teacher and goes the extra mile to help you learn. Also have purchased multiple items from Dales and their equipment is quality at fair prices. He and his staff will help answer any questions and always treat you fairly. read more

Great service, they know their guitars. Are not pushy at all, always willing to answer questions. Large selection of guitars over 300 guitars on-site. I was able to find a Flying V style guitar that most guitar stores including guitar center in Modesto do not have. Look forward to purchasing my next guitar there. They also are very experienced in Floyd Rose, and have guitar repair shop. read more

Dale is old.school. It's the way music stores were before GC. Dale is personal, always gives you the best price, and is always looking to help. He is truly in it for the music! read more

I'm a high school student and needed the violin fixed (Bow,String also needed Rozen )urgently because we where going to start playing in the high school. They fixed it in minutes. I'm completely satisfied with the service, this was my first time going here. Highly recommend this place . read more

I took a drive from Motown down to Turlock today to check out options for my rapidly-approaching 50th birthday. These were absolutely fantastic folks to talk to and deal with. I found what I was looking for and it'll be ready and waiting for me when I go to pick it up next month. If I need (or want) anything guitar-related I will hands-down be making the drive here & keeping $$$ local! read more

My son's trumpet needed repair. Dale took care of it, no charge. Awesome! Thanks Dale!

We went toDale based on personal recommendations. Excellent personality and service. Has not hesitated a second when as to do something above and beyond. Sold my wife and granddaughter new guitars and providing guitar lessons at an extremely reasonable rate. Good to go with Dale!!! read more

Came to buy some guitar equipment, Dale was very welcoming. He gave us an awesome deal on a Crate amp that had just been sitting there for 2 years, guess it was meant to be ours! read more

I bought a used drum set here in December and it was a great price. Dale also gave me a great deal on the hardware for it. I went back a month later and bought two drum thrones that were great deal and high quality. A great place in Turlock to get musical gear! read more

Awesome guy, funny, and extremely friendly I really recommend this place, awesome store.

My daughters flute wasn't working properly...walked in and Dale was there and he was so kind to fix the issue in a few quick seconds. And with just a handshake and a have a nice day. You don't get that amazing customer service too often so it was appreciated! My daughter has taken guitar lessons there.. we've purchased music and other items needed.. you can get everything you need musically from Dale's Guitar! Have questions or want some lessons, they have it all there. Great place, great location! read more

This place is awesome! Super friendly, knowledgeable and extremly helpful. Went in knowing nothing about guitars buying Christmas presents for my son's and ended up going back to buy for my husband and daughter. There was no pressure to buy or purchase above their skill level. Dale hooked it up with guitars and spent the time helping us make our choices. Highly recommend this place couldn't imagine getting the same treatment/deals elsewhere! read more

First time visitor, my husband wants to learn to play guitar. Young lady gave us not only good advice but a free lesson!! Most definitely will return. read more

Dale hooked me up big time. He raised the action on my Telecaster and gave me a great deal on some strings. Highly recommended.

Great place to go if you need musical equipment, supplies, service or music lessons, Dale's has what you need and if they don't they can usually get it or have an idea where you could get it. read more

I went here to buy a strap for my guitar and then I'm walking through the store and I went to the register to go pay for the strap,Dale the owner comes down the stairs from the second floor and he starts yelling at me because he thought I was trying to steal the strap and he yelled,"TAKE THAT OUT OF YOUR POCKET",and I was scared and I kept saying I didn't steal anything ?Then he keeps saying and telling me things,I was so scared and shocked that I was assumed for stealing and the employee that was helping me looked so embarrassed because Dale had just gone off on me for something I didn't do.This was one of the worst experiences in my entire life,I will never come back here again. read more

My son goes here to get Piano lessons. Great place, lots of variety in guitars, piano, drums, violin. Highly recommend

Excellent experience! We bought my daughter a ukulele and Dale gave her a great price and free case. Everyone in the store was friendly and patient with our questions. We will definitely be back! read more

My 14 year old son is learning to play the guitar. As a result his electric guitar has taken quite the beating. We were in need of new strings and machine heads. Went into Dale's to make the purchase as they were the closest to our home. The gentleman that helped us was very polite when making the sale however, unfortunately, the machine heads did not match his guitar once we got home and tried them. I went in to return them and was told I had to return the strings as well and then repurchase them since they were all on the same transaction. I didn't have the strings with me and asked if they could just pull the ones of the wall and ring those. The owner said no. He could not. When I explained I'd never heard of such a problem he pointed out they "have a no refund policy so we'll just take that route then". So my 14 year old son is out of $35 of his hard earned allowance. We were looking into lessons there but I will not be going back. read more
