I recently visited the Music Emporium and had an excellent experience. I went there in hopes of…read morelearning more about guitar pedals, and I certainly went to the right place. I might be exaggerating slightly, but it seemed as though the store had around 100 different guitar and bass pedals on display to choose from. The Music Emporium is very well staffed. There were thankfully enough employees on hand for the store manager, Jarred, to take nearly 2 hours out of his day to sit down with me and show me around 10 different guitar pedals that I was interested in. In addition, he taught me how each pedal functioned individually, and how they would all work together as a unit. He was very patient with me, offered great suggestions, and ultimately helped me understand everything that I was hoping to learn with my visit. I ended up buying a full pedal board at the end of the day, and I am incredibly satisfied with the purchase. The store is very clean, spacious, and comfortable, boasting a huge selection of guitars, amplifiers, and other varied gear and accessories. The guitar pedal display, however, really stands out as the highlight of the Music Emporium. Before you visit Guitar Center or Sam Ash for the umpteenth time, try this place out. You won't regret stopping by!

Great customer service. I'm sure I'll do business with them again in the future.

One of my children worked here and was treated horribly.I literally had to protest outside the building to get her late paychecks after she finally had enough and quit.

When I said I wanted merchandise instead of lessons he called the police and refused to honor the credit at all. Crooked as can be. Honest reviews are being supressed by Google! Check the local FB

The guitar tech at other shop kept trying to fix the electronics in my guitar, It kept failing. 3 different times I brought it into the other shop, and each time the tech there said it was something different. So after the 4th time, something went wrong with the electronics, and $150 later, I decided to find another shop. Enter Centerstage Music. I met Greg. he was friendly and helpful. He took the guitar apart right in front of me and said let check out the wiring, it might not need anything(He was trying to save me money on electronics, instead of trying to sell them me). I stopped him and explained after getting the run around from the other guy I just wanted to replace the electronics just so I didn't have to worry about them, plus it was an upgrade. He understood. In less than 18 hours he texted me it was ready to pick up. It was priced more than fair. He had me plug into one of the many cabinets that he had available and made sure I was happy with the voicing of the pickups. Let me tell you this thing sounds amazing. Not only are will they work on your gear, but they are mainly a rehearsal space and recording studio. I'm, not the typical guy who writes reviews ever(I wouldn't waste my time writing a negative one about the last place), I don't why, I just felt the need to write this one. I'm glad I took 5 minutes out of my day to do so. Thanks, Greg. Happy Jackson Guitar owner.
