HORRIBLE customer service! It was the worst experience I've ever had at any music shop I've ever…read morebeen too out of the 50+ stores I've been to. My fiancé pulled a guitar down she was really wanting to buy. It was only $550 for a pretty nice acoustic. She's a beginner so she asked my to try it out for her. I played a chord or two and noticed it was out of tune a little. I fixed the g string which was out just a little. I then played for a few seconds and then tried tuning it to drop d. Before I could even play a chord in drop d the owner said to me "hey, will you please keep it in standard tuning" I said "yea sure, why is that?" His reply was "I put a lot of time into setting it up" ... I then said "ok I get that, if I tune it back from drop d to standard when I put it back on the wall is that ok?" He said "NO" I asked politely "why?" He said "because I said so, I just told you!" ... This is completely NOT logical. Tuning a guitar to drop d won't mess anything up. It's one string being tuned down 1 step and that's it. This is the WORST customer service attitude. As you can understand his attitude towards me wanting to actually try the guitar and play it turned us off to buying anything from him ever. So I tuned it back and we left. HORRIBLE experience there. Will never go back!!

I took guitar lessons from Brent McCann back in the 1990's and he taught me most of what I know…read moreabout music and playing guitar. He worked with me quite patiently as i had partially amputated my right hands middle, ring, and little finger tips in a work related accident even teaching me finger style. I was interested in the blues and rock and roll music mostly back then and he gave me extra time teaching me those genres and their related techniques.He helped me figure out how to llay my favorites and also gave me a great deal on one of his "rainy day guitars" that he would sell to a student each year. I have it to this day. He had a custom hand built guitar that he did not like to take out in inclement weather and he always had a fine substitute to use on those days, which he sold each year to a student if he could find one wanting one. He is a fine Christian man who has experience playing professionally including with a well known Kansas city area band named the Crayons that played back in the 60's and 70's. I have had other teachers after him, but no one that was of the high caliber as he, nor as classically trained.while having a great ear as well. He was always reasonably priced and one of the nicest men I have known in my 67 years. I HIGHLY recommend him to man, woman, or child who wants the best possible teacher of guitar. Sincerely, Larry Boydston.

This quirky little place could be cool! Dig thru all the cubbyholes here you will find some trash…read moreAND some really great treasures! Unfortunately I had a bad experience here, though. The running average for used merchandise that was labeled was around 60% of list price of current versions of the same thing. Many of the items were not priced and I found an older gentleman who seemed to be in charge who priced a few things in which I was interested. I found a used pair of hand drums that were missing some parts and had a broken head. He offered the pair for $150 and said that that would include tax since I was paying with cash. When we got to the counter, he changed the price to $200 plus tax. Hear me clearly folks--Full disclosure here: I own a music store in a different county. I was interested in the hand drums for me personally just as a normal guy off of the street. I am in no way bashing this place nor this guy, as maybe he was just having a bad day or some troubles with the memory banks. I am just simply offering this advice: please be careful that when you shop here a) you know the value of what you are buying and b) the management honors his word and sticks to his commitments.

I had fallen completely out of love with a luthier-made partscaster I bought during the pandemic…read more In the past year, I'd pick it up, play for a while and invariably switch to a Les Paul or a tele. I've had other establishments try to bring the partscaster back to life but to no avail. I was all but ready to sell the guitar for much less than I paid for it when I heard Running Dogs Music has the veteran experience to do more than switch strings, look down the fretboard for a second and then take my money. Instead, I walked in pleading for them to help me love my guitar again. The team heard me out, and actually had me play on a guitar in the store that had a perfect setup. It was a $200 guitar but sounded beautiful. 24 hours later I picked up my guitar, got home, plugged it in and immediately realized why I loved it the first time I played it. I cannot thank the team enough and I will most definitely recommend them to friends. They are awesome!
