There were two employees at the front counter when we came in. They didn't look up, didn't great us. We wandered around the store for about 10 minutes trying to find what we came in for, before an employee on his way to somewhere else casually greeted us as he walked by. I had just found one of my items. Then I had questions about trying to find The proper springs for my Hoffner B-Bass guitar. At that time, the only person around was at the front desk. He knew absolutely nothing about bass guitar strings-or Hoffners. And when he didn't know the answer, he told me that "Any of the strings would work"! This was completely unacceptable! Going to buy them from Strings By Mail and won't be visiting this location again.

I would gladly recommend him and the shop to anyone and I know that next time we're up in the Spokane area, we are definitely stopping in to thank him and check out what's in his inventory! Adam

We went in to this guitar shop eagerly looking for a new acoustic guitar. As a supporter of local,…read morefamily-owned businesses, we were very excited to check out this shop. Unfortunately, we had an appalling experience with the owner. When my spouse was tuning one of the guitars on display, not realizing it was a baritone guitar, one of the strings broke. He notified the owner and apologized for the broken string. The first thing he said was "Are you going to buy me a new string?" Despite the other employee stating that they should have placed a sign above the baritone guitar, the owner started angrily typing on the store computer and then he rudely stated "I guess it is your lucky day because we do not have the string in store." We were speechless. I would have never expected such a threatening and aggressive interaction with the owner of a family-owned business. Nor one with the reputation of Finger Swagger. ....so much for a "mom and pop guitar shop". What a disappointing and disheartening afternoon.

After looking further at the transaction I noticed the item sent was different than the item advertised. I will be contacting my Better Business Bureau.

One was having a personal conversation with two men at the front counter. The other was just sitting there. Myself and my husband were walking around the store looking for the product. The entire time the workers were carrying on their personal conversation. I found the product and went to the front counter to pay. I stood there and both men still carried on their personal conversation as if I wasn't there. I finally said "can I pay for this?" He turned and looked at me like I was bothering him. The only thing missing was an eye roll. He never stopped having his personal conversation while I paid. If this is your service I will never go back to your store for any of my needs.
