This is a very cool shop in a world where large chains have taken over. There are great, vintage,…read moreunique instruments here and we're lucky to have places like this still around, whether you stop in to browse or intend on purchasing. The guitar service technician department, however, is not recommended. If you want a large chain type of non-personalized guitar setup with no individualized attention, then it is adequate. But if you're looking for the special care that your instrument deserves, it is not going to happen here, despite what you may read on the website. The owner may have the aptitude and experience, but he is not the one performing the routine work, and there is a disconnect with his oversight as well. Good for shopping, not for service.

Phil did a re-fret on my 1977 Ibanez 2650 'Les Paul Custom'…read more He asked me if I wanted gold frets. Me: 'They make gold frets....??' Phil did a really great job! The gold frets look great and the guitar plays really nice. I bought this axe way back in March 1978, and it's been my favorite. A really sweet guitar. But a prior fret-job by a different tech did not end well....and, as a result, I barely played this guitar. Phil brought it back to life. No regrets! THANKS, PHIL!!

I brought my dad's old guitar in to get a string fixed. I had not played the guitar in a decade so…read moreall of the strings were old and very used. He charged me $10 to replace 1 string AND I BROUGHT THE STRING which was one of my dad's. So I didn't even get any product from them!!! I only went to this shop because a friend had recommended it to me and I like to support small business. The next week I was in the area of Moe's Guitars in Hawthorne, which I had never been to, but I wandered in and asked how much it would have been to charge the string. He said that they would given me 6 new strings and would have restrung all of them for $15. So if you don't want to get ripped of, go to Moe's Guitars in Hawthorne instead. I am in the market for a new guitar and I clearly would have been overcharged at D'Angelo's. And now we are talking hundreds or thousands of dollars, not a fiver. On a positive note, I am so glad I found Moe's. Check them out!

If I'm being honest, I had lost a lot of faith in guitar center based on the Totowa location, and…read morehave been getting my gear largely online or from indie shops as a result. That all changed today. First time in this location, and I'm kicking myself for not stopping here sooner. I've driven past this particular store hundreds of times, but never stopped until today. First observation: this particular store has one of the better layouts I have seen as far as Guitar Center stores go. The space is massive, and everything is easy to find. The store has ample staff, all of whom are eager to help. Despite a large crowd on a busy Saturday, lines were moved quickly and customers were all attended to. Staff was incredibly friendly and struck up conversation about making music. From a drummer's perspective, this place was a jackpot. Nearly half the store was drums. I was thrilled to find a massive snare drum wall, including vintage snares. Cymbal room selection was impressive. Lots of new and second-hand drum kits to see. E-drum selection was massive and had something for everyone's budget. Where the store truly shined was with their ample parts, accessories, and tools for drummers. This is lacking in many other locations. Picked up some things I needed and fair prices (LESS than Amazon!). The staff, again, were pleasant and kind. That makes a huge difference in and of itself. Store was clean and well-organized. This is my new store for buying in-person. Period.

If you want something very specific or mainstream, then you're better off going to a Guitar Center. Because they stuff they have here is an amazingly curated smorgasbord of rare, quirky, or otherwise vintage instruments. I stopped in just to check out their acoustic room in the back. Played some guitars, the lone banjo they had, and an acoustic bass. Then went back around to look at all their oddball guitars (in a good way). The guy manning the front desk and helping people out in between doing a guitar setup was super cool to talk to.

At any rate I inquired about a Pearl Hi Hat Seat model that was for my stand from several years back and they said they could acquire it and would phone me.

THE very best guitar tech in the five boroughs. Matt Brewster transformed a vintage Gibson Firebird…read moreI'd picked up for about half price, because it had been tampered with, wired wrong,and just all wrong. In just about 2-3 days, he found a big issue that the last tech had missed. I got phone calls on the progress, he asked permission before doing a fret level and polish, and replaced the tuners, full setup, fret level and he transformed it from a "player's project" into an Instrument that played like a new Gibson. The price I paid for the work was so fair, I know him and his techs worked on that thing for days. Everyone at the shop knew about its progress, and they all seemed proud of their work. Good Vibes, Honesty, and integrity along with getting a tech that's mentioned in Rig Rundowns, he works on Rock Star's guitars, and you'll get the same quality work as those celebs on Rig Rundown for the same price a local music shop charges. Matt, Chris and everyone working at 30th street always greet me with smiles and warmth. That is the cherry on the sundae. Retail professionalism along with the best setup man in NYC, these are rock solid fellas.

He solved the issue I described to him of my Strat's high strings making a sitar sound and notes choking a bit. I appreciate that they got it back to me in good time (1 week). Andres also did great work on a Tele that needed an overhaul; now it plays and sounds great! And more recently, he made my 53-year old Gibson L6-S play better than ever, with great attention to detail on the frets, electronics and intonation. Prices are quite fair but probably not for those on a tight budget. Highly recommended!
