Johnny was very helpful and explained a lot on how to care for the neck while changing the strings. Then I spotted an Orange bass amp, so I couldn't resist and bought the amp also. Johnny did a great job with my acoustic Taylor and cleaned up the neck at stringing it. Thanks Johnny! Steve from Antelope, Ca.

I visited this place last week, nice set of guitars and very friendly. Prices seem very reasonable.read more

"THEY DON'T STAND BY THE OLD STUFF...."…read more I bought a very nice used EUB-1. One of the tuning mechanisms broke. I sent 2 emails, with photos, to this place and never heard back. I finally called and explained my situation. The person on the phone told me to look online for something similar. They built the thing. Really, no records of what they bought? It would have been nice to provide the hole measurements at least. Fortunately, a guitar repair shop in Berkeley found an almost identical replacement, no thanks to the people who built the instrument in the first place. I guess they couldn't be bothered to help someone out with an old instrument. Not much money in it, but there's something about standing behind your instruments, even after the sale has placed money in your pocket!

I phoned Wally the prior week to see if this was something they could take care of. He was so awesome and told me to bring the uke with me. The setup was perfect as I knew the saddle and nut needed some help for correct intonation, also adding a low G string. The service was superfast and much less expensive than I thought it would be. I am so pleased that I found Wally and would highly recommend his services to anyone. Thank You

He assembled a team of very experienced people to evaluate and authenticate my vintage 1951 Telecaster. His professionalism and integrity are unmatched in the field of vintage guitar sales in my experience. He and his sales team were able to obtain a very generous price for the instrument which, even after commission, netted a larger figure than I would have been able to obtain on my own. Payment to me was slightly delayed, but worth the wait! I recommend Malibu Music highly and without reservation. Geoffrey Day

My family bought various instruments for twenty years from Henson's Music Store in Camarillo, CA…read more We always loved this family owned music store because of the loving care we received. My four older children developed a lifelong passion for band and music because of this lovely store. Henson's family run music store is deeply missed in Camarillo. The Camarillo music store staff helped my four children survive and thrive after the death of a sibling. Music helped my surviving children so much! Music can be so healing. Music helps students academically in math and reading and to focus well when children play instruments beginning in fourth grade or sixth grade through twelfth grade. Playing in band or orchestra helps students be organized and concentrate. it improves self esteem too. Again, music helped to save my four surviving children emotionally. Thank you to the wonderful Henson family! It is truly rare to find such knowledgeable and caring staff in a special family music store. There are many young sales people at other music stores who seem to lack the ability to care about other human beings or develop any concern to learn much about instruments. It appears to be just a job for these sales people. So, it is such a blessing to know Lisa at Henson's Music Center in Oxnard who absolutely understands customer's needs and has excellent values to help them continue loving music. It is their passion to help people gain a love for music and playing instruments. Excellent job Oxnard for having such a great family run music store! I highly recommend you drive to Oxnard to meet Lisa, Lucy, her mother and their caring, knowledgeable staff or extended family. That is why loyal customers keep returning to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard. Customers never need distant or seemingly uncaring music store salespeople. People need knowledgeable and caring music professionals to help transform their lives through music. Thankfully, Henson's Music Center is still in Oxnard. Lisa Henson looked over an almost brand new Yamaha Tenor Sax 480 to check how well it worked. She is a remarkable person. My fifth child and youngest son, is forever grateful to Lisa Henson for her help. The Henson family at Henson's Music Center and their caring staff in Oxnard put so much loving effort into excellent repairs on instruments, lessons and every interaction with all customers. Their authentic nature shines through in all their interactions with people. I highly recommend you drive to Henson's Music Center in Oxnard and avoid any sales people in nearby music stores. The drive to Oxnard especially on side streets, past lovely fields is enjoyable. Plus, the parking is great near this inviting and warm music store. You will be forever changed by the entire knowledgeable and friendly staff.
