They also sell a good selection of effects, amps and accessories. Jim, the owner, is like a walking encyclopedia of guitars. His team handles the normal transactions but he handles the high end retro stuff. I have purchased one vintage guitar and felt I got a solid deal. They allowed me to bring my equipment in to test it out and I was very impressed with the service I received. If you are in the market for some high end vintage gear, there are few better places in the whole US.

Due to the limited space, there is not a ton of selection but their primary areas of business tend to be lessons and service, two things I have not used yet. Their prices are fair and they are incredibly knowledgeable. Were the selection a bit bigger, this would be a 5 star versus a 4.

On my first lesson, I was surprised that I learned so much about the keys, considering that I…read morealready had a good bit of experience. I learned the key names and how to read music notes. Then, I was taught the basics of how to play Seven Nation Army! On my first group rehearsal, I got together with two other students, a guitarist and a drummer. We got to know each other and learned how to work together as a band. We learned how to pull apart a song and create a music map. Then, we used what we learned and played the entire Seven Nation Army song together. It was so much fun, just jamming and playing a song together. I can't wait to go again next week!

I'm local to the area and use Tone Tailor often but not as much as I wish I could. There have been…read moremixed reviews on the personnel at the store but my experience has been they have always been friendly, and helpful. This is the chance that if you come in at off hours they are working on equipment and maybe focused on that. They are a smaller operations so the owner wears a number of hats. The hardware at the store has been commented on and for a smaller shop I think they have a great selection. On aspect not commented on was the lessons. The instructors they have on board know what they are doing and can work with everyone from the beginner thru advanced students. These aren't guys who yesterday were giving lessons out of the back of their Mom's apartment but rather are mainly gigging musicians who are augmenting their income via lessons. Most have formal educations in their trade. Final comment is on their repair services. They have in store ability to repair most equipment - none of this drop off you gear only to later find out it was shipped out somewhere to be worked on. You can get real time feedback on where it is at in the repair process. Only slight draw back is they are in demand so they may not be able to turn it around over night. Tone Tailors is the kind of store you'll want to go back to. It's interesting to see the musicians who just hang out there discussing the local music scene.

.I took a 2500.00 Martin Guitar into this shop because of an anoying buzz that it was making when…read morethe open B string was played. I thought that maybe the string was low in the nut, and buzzing on a fret. I just could not find the problem. This guy ( the owner) played my guitar and told me that the problem was the INTONATION. What ? Intonation ? What does Intonation have to do with a buzzing problem ? Answer, NOTHING . This guy makes guitars, I bet they are fine guitars. He may even take more time when making them than a larger producer of guitars. AND, maybe the intonation on my Martin is not perfectm, so be it. BUT, his attitude was evident to me. He had a disrespect for my Martin. He just wanted to critize it for not being perfectly intonated. ( potentially ). I later found out where the buzz was comming from, and it had nothing to do with intonation. Several months befor this, I took a friend there to have work done on a stand up bass. On that day he showed me one of his guitars. I told him about my martin that day. I thik he remembered me when I came back with my Martin, and just wanted me to feel like " you should have bought one of mine, and not that mass produced Martin. I thik this is a bad attitude And that attitude blinded him to finding the real problem with my guitar. I will never visit his shop again , nor recomend him to anyone.

My child attended lessons here and would come out upset thinking the teacher was angry with her…read more When questioned why she felt this way my daughter told me "she doesn't tell me that's she's mad but when I do something wrong she takes a deep breath or sighs." Homework is required for 30 minutes 5 to 7 days a week. You're required to sign and date a four page policies and procedures document. In the four page document, you will find you must pay 3 months in advance which is close to $400. If you decide to cancel anytime within this 3 month period, you will "forfeit" your tuition. You're only allowed one make-up lesson within a 3 month period (if the schedule allows). If your child is sick more than one time in a 3 month period, you will be paying for a lesson your child will never receive. There is a $35 late fee if you do not pay your 3 month tuition within 5 days of the electronic invoice. This invoice is sent a month ahead of time. You're not allowed in the 'studio' (house) during lessons and must wait in your car until lessons are over. Additionally, be sure of your commitment before ordering books which you're not allowed to return to the music store (over $60 to start) or the app which is used with lessons ($30 access fee). After providing notification of our decision to discontinue lessons at the end of our 3 month period, the teacher did not reply to our correspondence or thank us for the business.
