For years ago, at age, 70, I decided to try learning guitar. I tried out three different…read moreinstructors, mostly at guitar stores, and was disappointed. I joined the Sacramento Community Guitar Orchestra to see if that might be a way to learn. It was not for me, but I was impressed by the professionalism of the conductor, Sean O'Connor.

Sean is incredible on so many levels. From his skill to how he handles his students is extremely…read moreprofessional and friendly. I can't think of a better guitar teacher in the area. He is worth every dollar, I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for a skilled and compassionate teacher of guitar.

I can't recommend this shop for someone new to violins who needs help deciding on a violin…read more Reviews are wonderful for luthiery, and I'm sure they are warranted. I'm not at all commenting about the likely wonderful work and repairs. I was hoping to get advice on what to look for in a violin. What wood, what features, what to avoid, what separates price points. I did say that as well. I was shown a violin and told that it was $560. Ok. Then I was shown one that was $720. Then 2 more in about the $1.500 range. Oooook, sooooo..... What was special? What are the differences? No information offered. I went in looking to walk out with a violin. Just ended up walking out. Disappointed for having driven in traffic to be there at a quiet time. I guess it's online for me, as much as I prefer shopping locally. Was it my sweatpants? Maybe I didn't look the part.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. He personally answered all my questions and was great to talk with.read more

I got my first guitar in July 1960. I've bought and sold 1,000's of guitars., amps, drums,…read morekeyboards, etc... No exaggeration. I owned a 1,500 square foot musical instrument shop from 1998 to 2007. So I know equipment. I've visited Skip's several times over the past few decades. But my last visit was long enough ago that it was at the former Watt Ave location. This new store is visually impressive. Plenty of space which gives the room a majestic feel. It's dramatically lighted. The overhead music system is not obnoxiously loud. It's a fun place to browse. The inventory is all good quality. Every item is a real musical instrument, not a junky toy. No Amazon type crap here. The 5 staff members I interacted with were all friendly and helpful. I stopped in with my family to buy some Xmas gifts for the grandchildren and a few cables for myself. I pre-shopped the items on the Skip's website. The items were in stock. We bought a mini electric guitar for the 6 year old grand niece who actually knows already how to play some basic chords. We also got her a small amplifier, cables, guitar strap... Everything she will need to start her musical journey. Pricing is pretty standard MSRP. I know the price structure at wholesale and retail level and was not going to haggle for a discount out of respect. Profit margin after all the business expenses is meager. There's a high riser stage for in store events & concerts. There's also programs when students perform. Great experience for students to begin public performances (Where, hopefully, they get prepared for paychecks when they graduate to playing at bar gigs, weddings, birthdays and maybe even the big time (if they work really, really hard)). If you or you little virtuoso wants some gear I highly recommend that you shop here rather than at Guitar Center. Shop local, support a family owned business rather than a corporation.
