I left a 5 * review on the other Portman's page so will summarize here. Not sure why they created a…read moresecond page. Maybe for better pictures. This place is fantastic. I am a 40 year beginner/ intermediate that sometimes takes a break for a year or two. Every time I go here I increase my education of guitars and music. I bought an Acoustic Alvarez that I play every day. They have a great selection of beginning and mid price guitars but also have high end Martins and Taylors. Prices are competitive with Revere and Sweetwater. What stands out for me is their patience and understanding with a beginner. Jeff, their guitar guy has a wealth of knowledge on all types of guitars and amps. The store does get busy! Give yourself some time if you are searching for an instrument.

I don't understand the litany of bad reviews this store received. People seem to not understand…read morethat this isn't a business that simply caters to an immediate transactional need. These guys are not minimum wage cashiers waiting on you hand-and-foot. It appears that most of the reviews come from uptight affluent class customers who don't understand that this is a multifaceted business and things may take longer than 5 minutes. If you are so desperate to get your needs met than do your own research and buy online. This isn't the banana republic or burger king. If you're patient and have the capacity of a reasonable person you will be rewarded with the answers to your questions. I've only ever had good experiences with this store and ultimately saved myself a lot of heartache and time by getting to a dialogue with one of the employees. Go to the right department and if your so inconvenienced by the fact you need documentation and a credit check for an instrument than do the sensible thing and just buy a $150 guitar. I seriously doubt at 7 years old your kid is a sonic maestro or prodigious lyricist. Entitled morons. Portman's is awesome!
