I came in to pick it up on the date I was told it would be done Which was 2 weeks after I had drop it off. I came there with a brand new Stratocaster literally right out of the box for an easy setup which I do with all my instrument. When I got there not only wasn't my guild ready he hadn't even touched it. It sat in a corner for two weeks. So I left the strat which I now regret and they'd call me when the guild was ready. A week and a half later I was told it was done. When I brought it in it had 11 gauge strings on it. He brought it out and the first thing I noticed was he put 12 gauge on it. This Is a tiny place with no area to play your instrument. I had to get on my knees in front of the counter to try it out. The next thing I noticed was the action was higher. I played it with the 12s and When it was time to change them I got the same brand of 12s. When I put them on they where literally touching the frets after the 7th fret. I couldn't play it after the 7th. I complained to Tony and was told to call Wolf and I did and said the issue seemed to be with the cut of the bridge. So I brought it back expecting to leave it off so he could fix the issue. it had only been 7 months he didn't remember me or my guitar. Then looks at it and asks me if I could wait a few minutes I said okay. I expected him to come back and tell me how long it would take to correct it. He brings it back to me and his solution was to stick a couple shims under the bridge which made the action even higher and the string buzz on the second string which was the original issue was even worse. I could have done that myself. They charged me 85 dollars for the setup and ruined a 900 dollar guitar. Not mention the fact that he talked me like I was an idiot who new nothing about my instrument. don't go there.

Each time I've had to pay for a band-aid of sorts that comes undone within a few months. After bringing it to Brant, he replaced a few of the wires and touched up some other soldering and was done in a sold 30 minutes. This is much unlike the few days to a week at a time i've had to leave my guitar with the other guys to do a quarter of as much work. All said and done, the price was right and my guitar is fixed. I will be going to him again.

It took Brandt over 5 months to finish my guitar and when I got it back he messed up the wiring (forcing me to bring it to another shop). Additionally, we made appointments and he stood me up twice, he said he would leave my guitar on the front porch for me to come pick up, and he was very bad at communicating. I would not bring your guitar here for any sort of service, you'd be better off going to guitar center.

John the manager linked me up with Aiden who was beyond knowledge about guitars and the particular one I was interested in. He gave me in depth knowledge and honesty that made the process easy and I never felt in any way pressured to purchase.

The store itself is the nicest guitar center I have been to and all of the departments were well stocked and welcoming. 10/10 recommend, the manager John was fantastic and Aiden was the best I could ask for!

This store is huge with lots of selection of wide ranging guitars. You can try them - they have these plugin amp stations. The gentleman Glenno who helped us was great! He showed us the guitars that the hubs wanted to try out. He explained relevant things. We got to talking about music and playing in bands and he said he plays in a band called The Pitches - great name btw and that they were going to be playing a show in the near future. Anyway the hubs needed a second guitar and chose a beautiful teal-ish colored one. We also asked about a case and straps. They had a bag not case but the bag actually turned out to be pretty good and much better than we expected. Good quality and has backpack straps so it's easy to carry. We also picked out a strap - there were a lot to choose from - hubs chose a simple black one. Overall we were very satisfied with the store, the amazing selection of guitars and the friendly customer service! Glenno knew what he was talking about!

Bristol Studios is the Real Deal…read more As an independent artist, I approach everything with a healthy dose of skepticism--especially when it comes to anything that claims to be "transformative." But time and again, Bristol Studios has exceeded my expectations and earned my trust. I originally discovered Bristol when my vocal coach used their rehearsal rooms. I noticed they offered sound engineering classes and decided to give them a try. The curriculum is somewhat fluid, which might not work for everyone, but for me, it's been a gift. I'm currently taking ongoing classes with Chris Billias--an exceptionally talented working musician with an incredible ear. We work directly on my original songs, diving into everything from musicality and rhythm to arrangement, mixing, and mastering. The real-world insights and hands-on learning have been invaluable to my growth as an artist. I've also taken two workshops led by Ric Poulin, the founder. The Performance Workshop was, in a word, transformative. I was skeptical--who wouldn't be with a name like that? But it truly changed the direction of my artistic path. More recently, I completed the Songwriting Workshop, which gave me practical, repeatable tools to unlock creativity and structure my songwriting process. Ric's deep experience in the music industry, combined with his passion and storytelling, makes his teaching not only informative but inspiring. As someone actively writing, producing, and releasing original music, I credit Bristol Studios with helping me level up both creatively and technically. If you're serious about your craft--whether you're just starting out or already in motion--Bristol is a rare place that meets you where you are and helps you rise higher.

The band was FANTASTIC, their playlist is amazing (like 300 songs - we found tons to request), they got the mood just right with quieter songs for the social hour and - after dinner - transitioned our party to a raucous, joyous, pull-out-all-the-stops dance celebration. The 3-piece horn section was amazing, the 2 singers were fantastic, and they kept the place rocking until the very last song. Our kids took over 1/2 the dance floor while the "old folks" commandeered the other half and it stayed packed all night, song-after-song. There was never that moment where everyone loses steam and sits down. As the night went on, even the single guys felt compelled to come out and join the fun. Months later, whenever the subject of our party comes up, we STILL get complements about the band. I can say in all honestly that they MADE the event!
