I knew y'all was on the level by the way I was treated the first time I went in a year or so ago just to get some strings. XLNT salesperson not a high pressure "oh that's all you want, over there". I didn't have to listen to a resume or someone telling me what I wanted. I was treated like a customer with respect for my needs. It might be 60mi to your place, but you have a customer for life just from strings, picks, and a cheap music stand, and will be seeing ya soon when I get another amp or guitar. Thanks Again Mark C Mashburn Fairfield, Texas

She answers her own phone, emails schedule changes very promptly, and always has a substitute lined up if our teacher is unavailable. Recitals are frequent but optional - this has provided a really low stress opportunity for my daughter to become comfortable with public performance. Overall a great option for families looking for reliable, affordable music lessons.

Unbelievable Got a…read morecall from Guitar Center in Tyler Texas Friday night. Connor told me not to bother coming in the next day for my guitar lesson. He explained they had a new policy that they only offer lessons to those that commit to weekly lessons on the same day and time of the week. Apparently my every other Friday alternating to Saturdays on the other weeks is not good for their instructors. Our question to the asst manager was how can business turn away paying customers? Their response was that they are the #1 of 250 stores in their region and don't have to worry about sales. I work in business and predict they won't stay at #1 very long with this new policy. There is however good news. Sweetwater is thankful to Guitar Center for today's order of my new Taylor CE 314 and a rumor that a Vox C15 amp for my Strat might be under the Christmas tree this year. Thank you Sweetwater.

I have been double business with them since 1994. If they don't have it they will get it for you. I will always shop here for my music needs before going anywhere else. Sure I might save a few bucks buying online but I'd rather spend a few dollars more and give them my money than to spend it online with someone I don't know. Steve spend an entire day installing a pickup on my pedal steel guitar (he'd never worked on one before) and only charged me a couple hours labor but saved me the trouble of shipping it or driving it four hours away to the nearest pedal steel tech I could find. Stellar customer service! Encore Music FOREVER!
