Crazy Super Awesome! Lots of music stores in Boise but this…read moreone has been my best experience by far. I brought in a dulcimer to get it strung and not only did they have some strings they had options for me. Dan strung it for me and played a little on it was done. A pleasure to see a musician make a neglected instrument sing again. Great service by everyone I interacted with and a selection of instruments I'm looking forward checking out next time I go in. Props to Gig's!

They have comparables, including a Selmer, on their own Dorsey Music website for up to $17,000. Owner's son acknowledged that it had real value but only offered between $200 and $400. When I pointed out the comparables on his website, the punk got all jerky and said, "Now I don't really want to buy it."

Say one thing, do another…read more We had a layaway with $30 down from over 7 months ago. Life happened and we honestly forgot about it--not the end of the world. What *does* matter is how Dorsey Music handled it. Ironically, Dorsey Music called *us* at the end of last week to follow up and ask if we still wanted the layaway. Important context: we've purchased **five guitars** from this business over the years because we wanted to support a local, small business over chain stores. One of those guitars was bought as recently as **12/26/25**, and at no point during that purchase did anyone mention the outstanding layaway--even though it was clearly in their system. When they called about the layaway, we explained we forgot about it. They were understanding, so we asked if the $30 could be applied as store credit toward a future purchase. That was denied. We then asked if it could be applied toward guitar strings. We were explicitly told **yes**, and to come in Monday (**1/5/26**) to get the strings. So we drove to the Nampa location today, only to be told something completely different: the $30 could *only* be applied to an item of equal or greater value, comparable to the original amp on layaway. That's the issue--**not the $30**, but the principle. Don't tell customers "yes, come in and we'll apply it to strings," then change the rules once they're standing at the counter. Especially when those customers have spent **hundreds of dollars recently** and supported your business repeatedly. Clearly they needed the $30 more than they needed our future business. We hope it was worth it, because after five guitars and years of loyalty, we won't be back. At least with a chain store, you know what to expect. There's zero recognition of good customers here anymore. Do yourself a favor and shop elsewhere.
