Extremely disappointing experience with Eddie's Guitars…read more I purchased a Collings 002H-T from them for $6,500 and even provided my own fully insured UPS label to help facilitate the deal and save the shop money on shipping. UPS unfortunately lost the package for nearly two weeks before it finally arrived. While the shipping delay itself was not Eddie's fault, the guitar arrived in poor condition, including heavily rusted strings and setup issues severe enough to make the instrument hard to play. During the period the guitar was lost in transit, Eddie's reduced the advertised price of the exact same guitar by nearly $400. I contacted the shop immediately after finally receiving the instrument and asked for what I believed was a very reasonable resolution: either honor the newly advertised price or allow me to return the guitar and repurchase it at the current listed price. Instead, I was told I was outside the return window because of the shipping timeline, despite the fact that I had effectively just received the instrument due to the UPS delay. After escalating the matter to the owner, I was told the lower-priced guitar was "used" and therefore not comparable, despite the listing on Eddie's own website clearly advertising the instrument as "NEW" and "1 in stock." The only resolution offered was to exchange my guitar for the supposedly "used" one without a warranty, while simultaneously representing that same instrument publicly as new inventory on their website. For a dealer positioning itself as a premium boutique guitar shop, this level of customer service and inconsistency was extremely disappointing. I cannot recommend doing business with them based on my experience.

When I've visited, the staff has always been pleasant and have seemed to understand the concept of Service. I would have been happy to give them a Five Star rating, if it weren't for poor communication. When I dropped my instrument off, the tech told me it would be about a week. I was informed after a couple of days, that they were going to order an additional Tuner set because the one I provided wouldn't fit exactly (I was informed that they would have had to drill new holes in the head, which I didn't really want). The length of time to receive the new part was crazy, until I sent a note and learned the Tuners were miraculously there. Then, when they went to install the new Tuners, they found they had ordered the wrong size and would still need to drill holes in the head-- like the problem that started it all. I was finally able to pick the Ukulele up after 3.5 weeks. Upon review of the work they did, it seems they did a great job. I'm happy with their work! But, as, I mentioned, I didn't give 5 stars because of poor communication.

I just bought the Alvarez AG60CE back in January, through Guitar Center, who told me that since I…read moredidn't buy their warranty for this brand new guitar, I had to go to the Alvarez distributor in the country, in St. Louis to have it fixed The problem is, Alvarez is a shitty Guitar, banking on big names like LR Baggs to sell their garbage. The L.R. Baggs electronics were completely shot on this guitar... Even the tuner didn't work. They said they would fix it for me, but I had to pay the $160.01 to ship it to them, first. That's right. Alvarez built me a defective guitar, then made me pay an additional 40% of the price of the guitar to fix their own mistake. If anyone really wants an Alvarez guitar, I highly recommend buying a used one. I wonder how long L.R. Baggs is willing to take a hit in allowing the Alvarez brand to cost them money before pulling out themselves.

The staff here actually know their stuff and take the time to help you find what you need without being pushy. I came in to check out a few guitars and left with way more knowledge (and inspiration) than I expected. The store's clean, well-organized, and the vibe is super laid back. You can actually try out instruments without feeling rushed, and they've got a great selection of gear--from guitars and amps to cables, pedals, and accessories. Big shoutout to the crew for being patient and genuinely helpful. Always a good experience here!

They are not overbearing or annoying and they don't harass you like the kids at "guitar-mart". They carry a good selection of acoustic and electric guitars and basses, effects, accessories, etc. They also do live sound, drums and other things as well that aren't of interest to me as a guitar player. They have everything from beginner to professional grade instruments and gear. If they don't have what you are looking for, chances are they can get it and they beat any competitors price. I have purchased about 10 high end guitars and several high end tube amps/ cabinets over the years and countless effects, cables, strings etc. I now live about an hour away but rather than go to the chain store up the road I still make the trip to Edwardsville for my music gear needs because they are simply the best.
