Completely unreliable, perhaps even unethical. Looking at other reviews, I see I'm not alone in this experience. Avoid.

I recently took my headless bass there for a set up. I'm SUPER picky when it comes to how my bass…read moreshould feel and play, but Richard absolutely took care of me and then some. Richard was extremely kind and easy to work with and offered for me to try out the bass before I took it home so he could fine tune the action to get it to my perfect height. In the end, he set up my bass with silky smooth low action as requested and I have to say, this bass has never played better! The action was just at that perfect sweet spot where the neck played like butter but high enough to where the notes really sing. Ever since I took it home, I haven't been able to put it down. The bass is just a joy to play and plays the best its ever played since owning it! I swear I'm not exaggerating when I it's just about the best set up I've ever had on this bass. It should be noted I also came in with some issues on the headless hardware that were unique enough to not have an easily searchable answer on google. I told Richard and, after working on my bass, he gave me some tips to try and so far, they've worked like a charm. At no extra charge too! I really cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking to have any kind of work done on your instrument for a fair price with supberb customer service and expertise, you owe it to yourself to try out Richardson Guitar Works. This place is the real deal!

They had a dedicated practice room where I could try each of them on and see how they sounded with their built-in electronics through dedicated acoustic amps. I found a couple that were really lovely that had a tuner on board which I had never seen before and ended up picking up a beautiful guitar that had softened beveled edges and was so comfortable and the best part was it was on sale and I didn't realize it! The staff were super helpful and very friendly with me and my three kids who are all musical and got to explore the drum sets together and learn something new about music. It was an inspiring and fun memory for the whole family!

I purchased a 1965 Gibson ES-335 from Charley's Guitar Shop in April 2021 after seeing it listed on…read moreReverb. The listing described the guitar as having "no breaks, no cracks, no repairs other than a refret." Recently, while preparing to sell the instrument, it was inspected by a respected luthier in the UK. During this inspection, it was identified that the guitar has previously undergone a neck reset, with associated finish work around the heel. The luthier has advised that this work appears older and predates my ownership. As many will know, a neck reset on a vintage ES-335 is considered significant repair work and can materially affect both value and collectability. It is also the type of work that would normally be disclosed at the point of sale. I contacted the shop to raise this and to try to resolve the matter amicably. Despite multiple emails, a phone call, and a clear proposed resolution, I have not received a response to my follow-up correspondence. I have now sent a further formal email requesting a response within 14 days. I remain open to resolving this fairly and would welcome the opportunity to discuss it directly.

Minda also teaches lessons, so I signed right up. Great experience. She's patient, willing to explain things to my engineering brain, and brilliant.

Telling me how to do it, showing me how to do it, then letting me do it but talking me through each step. Finally, doing it on my own but with her watching. Great way of learning. I was able to go home and confidently change the string myself. Five of five stars. And an extra star because she's just so darn nice about it.

Tone Shop is one of the best guitar stores in DFW, if not the country. The staff are really…read morefriendly and very helpful. Tone Shop stocks a wide variety of new and used instruments, as well as amps, pedals, etc. In terms of new guitars, you can expect to find Fender, Gibson, PRS, and Reverend - and maybe more - for electric. Taylor, Martin, Gibson, and more for acoustic. The cool thing though is they carry a range of instruments in these brands. You can buy anything from a Squier, Epiphone, or PRS SE up to a Core PRS or even a Custom Shop Fender or Gibson. And I don't just mean they have a single custom shop guitar on display, they have like a whole wall of high end Fenders and another for Gibsons. It's kind of fun to go in there and see all those amazing guitars. They've got guitars that cost hundreds and guitars that cost thousands. While they might not always have the same range of brands as the bigger store (no new Schecter, EBMM, etc.), they have an amazing selection within the brands they do carry. There's something for everyone. They have a decent selection of pedals, including Boss, Strymon, and more. A small selection of pickups too. I bought one of my favorite guitar straps from them. They've really got a lot of cool stuff! They also have sales periodically, and some great deals can be had! If you sell used gear to them or trade in toward something else, their prices aren't going to be as high as you could get selling it yourself online - but are fair for selling to a retail store. I think you can do a "sell in store" deal through Reverb with them too. I've been really happy with the guitars I've bought from them, and the shopping experience. They also do repairs, pickup swaps, etc. I'm pretty sure this location also offer PLEK. I've never done that myself, but I'm kind of curious about it and might take a guitar in go through the machine some day. Sometimes they host events at the store too. Overall I'd highly recommend Tone Shop in Addison.

Instead of pushing a sale, he presented me with several options, explaining the nuances of each instrument, spending no less than 30 min on the ins and outs and helping describe what I was going for. He could have easily pushed a 3k guitar on me and told me this will have me playing like Stevie Ray Vaughan in days. Instead he was patient and and showed me what I was looking for, I asked him to pretend he was buying for his brother "the one he likes" and show me the way. I ended up with a beautiful guitar and an amp that will grow with me, all thanks to his guidance. It was evident that he genuinely cared about ensuring I left with exactly what I wanted. Before checking out, the manager and other salespeople also made sure I had everything I needed, further enhancing my experience. What stood out most was the lack of pressure to buy. It was refreshing to be treated with such care and respect, especially in a retail environment. This fantastic experience, which began with Nathan, has made me a loyal Guitar Center customer.
