I have purchased several acoustic guitars from Alamo Music through the years and each transaction…read morehas been smooth and flawless. My most recent purchase was for a used guitar with a face that only a mother would love, but that was okay with me. The entire purchase was done entirely by text and their representative, Cooper, answered all of my questions, some of them nitpicking, patiently and completely. The price was fair. Response timely. He even sent me pics and a video of him playing it. So helpful. While I have bought guitars and gear from other online outfits Alamo's service takes the prize. Highly recommended.

We decided to finally purchase a piano and while searching for a used piano, I came across this…read morestore as they had exactly what I was looking for and a very reasonable price. I never visited the store, but saw the photos. I initially spoke to Patrick who was very pleasant and helpful over the phone. It was quite a simple process. I put a deposit down to hold the piano until we could secure a rug to put under. Fortunately, we found a rug within days. I called back and spoke with Zachary who took care of the remaining balance and assured me someone would be in contact soon about delivery. This was right before the holiday weekend, but sure enough, right after the holiday, I received a text letting me know they could deliver the next day if I was available. As luck would have it, I was free that day. The delivery drivers gave me a delivery window and contacted me again when they were about 30 minutes away. Once they arrived, it was a very quick process. They brought everything in and assembled it quickly. They were very professional and cleaned up when they were finished. I have read some of the other reviews and I'm a bit confused. There was no price change... the price was listed on the website so I knew exactly how much this was going to cost. They delivered exactly what I had seen on the website and received a very good deal. The delivery people were very professional and it was overall a very easy experience. I wish more things were this professional and simple. I did look at other stores but mostly settled on Alamo Music because they had what I was looking for on hand. But if I were to buy anything else again, I would 100% go back to them. Patrick and Zachary were extremely helpful and easy to work with. I can't recommend this store enough.

Puretone is a lifesaver! I got my daughter a Squire Strat for Hanukkah. I ordered it way in advance…read morefrom Fender but it took an unusually long time arriving. When it arrived, I could see it needed a good setup and some light fretwork. The tuners didn't inspire confidence and I found the ceramic humbuckers sounded a touch bright. Also, the guitar my daughter originally wanted was the Tom Morello start because of the mirror pickguard. I ordered a new pickguard, Seymour Duncan alnico humbuckers and locking tuners. I tried Alamo Music first and they said they could do the work for 350 and it would take three weeks. Hanukkah was a week away! Then I went to Puretone and they did the work in one week for over 200 bucks less! The neck feels great! The pickups sound great! It looks amazing! My daughter loves her guitar. She kisses it before she puts it away! Thank you Puretone for making this Hanukkah special.

They also do not appear to be a PRS authorized dealer anymore I posted my review elsewhere and was not going to add it here but based on their reply want to get it posted The claim that these instruments had functional issues or 'body splitting' is a blatant fabrication used to justify a $300 offer on instruments that routinely sell for way more. The Strat is a 'Closet Classic'--it is designed by the Fender Custom Shop to have checking and age. To use factory relicing as an excuse to offer 10% of market value is either a lack of product knowledge or a deliberate attempt to mislead. The $4600 dollar guitar I was looking at looked like it had Lost a long-time customer today. I've been a loyal supporter of Lark Guitars for years, spending a substantial amount of money here and recommending them to others despite their premium pricing. I believe in supporting local shops, but after today, I will never step foot in this establishment again. I went in today prepared to purchase a $4,600 Custom Shop Telecaster. For trade-in, I brought a PRS SC 58 and a Fender Custom Shop Closet Classic Stratocaster. After waiting, I was met with an insulting offer of $300 per guitar ($600 total). Claiming these high-end instruments are "too beat up" to offer more than entry-level Squier prices is either a blatant attempt to scam a loyal customer or a total lack of product knowledge. For a shop that deals in boutique gear, they should know exactly what those models are worth. I packed my gear and walked out. If you value your instruments or your time, I suggest you look elsewhere. They've lost my business for good.
