    Came in today to buy some headphones and cords for my speakers. I usually visit the store in puente hills but I found myself in Covina today. Extremely busy store. I was helped by a young man named Daniel. Very polite. Very informative. And moved with a sense of urgency but at the same time I never rushed. I was in and out in thirty minutes flat. Which kept me on schedule for the rest of my day. I was impressed since the store was so busy. A clean well oiled machine this place is. I will be coming back for my Neumann mic asap

    I am not a musical instrument player, but my eldest daughter is. She was recently given an acoustic guitar for her birthday. When we received the guitar, its package was missing the Instructional DVD and 3 guitar picks. I was within the Glendora vicinity running other errands and thought I swing on by this Guitar Center to get the missing pieces. WOW... what a guitar store, not just of guitars, but other instruments as well! Michael, the store manager, was the one who assisted me. He was very busy handling several transactions at one time. He did wonderfully well all around. After hearing what I needed, he offered to replace the entire guitar package for me which I ended up doing and tune the guitar for me. I was on a time constraint, hence, I did not take up on the tuning offer... at the same time, I wanted my daughter to tune it herself... good practice for her. Anyway, got the 3 picks, however, none of their Mitchell brand guitar packages at the store had the Instructional DVD available which I found odd, but hey, that's okay because Michael was kind enough to offer me a credit for that missing piece which resulted in a credit of $21+ back on my friend's credit card. THANK YOU SO MUCH MICHAEL for going above and beyond providing world class service! I appreciate you. Also, there was a sticker of some sort on the front of the guitar that needed to be removed. I didn't want to damage the guitar so I asked Michael if he can help with it. We went to the repair area of the store... I don't remember the name of the gentleman who helped me, but he figured it out in a jiffy. There was actually a thin plastic film where the sticker was on and all he did was remove that film... easy-peasy! Now we know LOL and thank you sir! Again, staff was fantastic all around. The store was clean and organized. It is quite a big store for just instruments. Love all the guitars displayed on the wall. They have a repair section which is great. They also offer lessons on various instruments. I don't know... maybe one day, I'll take some guitar lessons... at least get one instrument under my belt in this lifetime LOL. I tried the piano and that didn't work out for me... too rigid with the fingers and having to work with 88 keys. Maybe 6 strings might work out better for me, but then again, I have to learn the notes... another challenge LOL! I don't know how my daughter does it, but she does well with her instruments. If you're a music enthusiast and plays an instrument and would like to add on the guitar or another, swing on by this Guitar Center and check them out! They may be able to enlighten your music world even more. Arts of Music Are The Blossoms Of The Soul!

    I recently purchased a beautiful Ibanez guitar from the Glendora Guitar Center. Everyone here has been super helpful. One particular gentleman helped me out with my issue today. My Ibanez was having a small buzzing on lower frets. Daniel in the repair section took my guitar and in about 5 minutes was able to recognize the problem and make adjustments so that it's sounding like brand new. I appreciate the prompt service, kindness and advice. Thank you Daniel. I will be returning for more purchases and definitely come see Daniel for any kind of guitar related issues.

    Lee is a consummate professional. I am on my second bass...he never disappoints. Excellent work!!!!…read moreHis communication is second to none!!! Living in Atlanta I have ZERO ISSUES sending any instrument across the country for his artistry. Highly recommend!!!!

    GMW's history dates back to the mid-1980s and was initially formed by a team of founder Lee Garver…read moreand well known luthier Neal Moser, who had worked with BC Rich, Wayne Charvel among other well known guitar makers in California. At that time at least 50% of guitars in rock were made in California with notable exception Kramer, of Neptune, NJ and, of course, Gibson. GMW initially became known for repainting, customizing and refurbishing guitars but at some point GMW moved into hand-made custom guitar production as a boutique guitar maker. About fifteen years ago, Moser left to form his own company and Lee remained to run GMW and build guitars on his own with a small staff. Having dealt with Lee on two custom guitar orders I can honestly say he's a tremendous guy and a pleasure to do business with. Old school by nature, custom orders get custom attention with phone calls and emails. The client is never ignored or felt like a number. Communication is quick and timely and Lee responds to email in a matter of minutes. I've had him return emails to me at 8am EST when he is on west coast time. From order and initial deposit to completion, build time can vary substantially. My first build was a Charvel-style single humbucker super-strat that took roughly three months. The other project, just completed, is a telecaster that took a total of nine months due to detailed work on the neck - stainless frets and trapezoid inlays. Quality is unsurpassed at GMW. There is no assembly line production unlike say, Carvin, there is true hand construction including assembly and final setup by Lee himself. Painting is done by staff and GMW is known for custom paint jobs that larger guitar makers either can't or will not undertake. Prices are very reasonable by custom guitar standards. I would guess 50% of the cost of a Jackson or an ESP custom order. Tremendous bang for your money. You will not be disappointed. Check out gmwguitars.com for more information.

    Our kids have been at Applause Music Academy for 5 years…read more Dr. Tig is truly amazing -- caring, kind, professional, and so creative in the way she teaches. She encourages every student with patience and positivity, making learning music fun and inspiring. You can truly feel how much she cares about her students and their growth. Ms. Victoria, the violin teacher, is wonderful as well -- positive, energetic, patient, and very professional. She creates such a warm and encouraging learning environment for her students. Overall, this academy is a very special place filled with talented teachers who truly teach from the heart. I'm so glad they have 3 locations so more families can experience such an amazing music academy. More than 5 stars!

    PLEASE READ! Protect your children and keep them away from the owners at Applause Music Academy…read more They recently posted a disturbing picture of my 6 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER on their social media. It was heavily filtered and made her look OLDER ! They gave her cleavage ! . Her lips are fuller and made to look as if she has make up on. She's half Filipino and half Mexican and the filter also made her look completely Asian. When I contacted the owners through email they took the picture down immediately but did NOT apologize. The next day, my daughter and I met the owners in person through my request and it did not go well. He and his wife Dr. Tig were not apologetic at all. He would not tell me who edited the picture and he would not admit that it was wrong. I asked him point blank 3 times if it was wrong in which he stood silent. I was blown away by his refusal to admit it which made me think that HE was the one who did the editing . He claimed that it was done to clear up the background of the picture which is a total lie. This same picture was posted a few months ago without being changed. Another reason it's false is because there are actually 3 people in the picture and all 3 were made to look more Asian. One person was actually a white male and was completely changed into an Asian woman. He kept saying it was not intentional and he would not apologize. After 25 minutes of the meeting going nowhere, my daughter and I got up to leave in which Dr Tig finally admitted some regret but it was too late because it was like pulling teeth to make them feel sorry for what they or their employee) had done. They did not empathize nor did they realize the seriousness of the picture that was posted. Two days later, my daughter received an email stating that my granddaughters were both being terminated from the academy. It was easier for them to terminate them instead of saying sorry. This is very upsetting about how they handled this situation. They need to take posting children's pictures seriously! Children are precious and should be treated like it! 0 stars for Applause Music Academy
