While I was in town visiting my son, he mentioned that there was a music store not far from us that he'd like to visit. I wasn't prepared for the size of this place-it's far more than just a "music store." He had a gleeful look of awe as he admired the selection of brass instruments and was able to play a few of them too. He'll be ready to make a purchase soon, so he wants to know for sure which one is just right. If you don't quite know what you're looking for, or need some elevated service, you might find someone, you might not. It's a more laid-back approach to customer service-we had to seek someone out for help. But I suppose I prefer that over an in-your-face sales person trying to close a deal.

After placing my online order, the website had an technical issue and failed to create my order at the physical store level. Not only that, but the order disappeared from my account so the only way for an update on the status was to call customer support. I placed the order on a Wednesday, for the next 2 days after placing the order, customer support told me that the order was looking good and not too worry. After waiting all weekend for some update, I still hadn't received an update on Monday. Luckily one customer support agent caught something weird in my order and noticed my order did not get put through to the store. Shane from this location called me and explained the situation, which surprised me since the customer support agent was supposed to call me back with an update. Within minutes I got an update regarding the label being created. Fast forward to Wednesday (1 week after placing the order) no update regarding the shipment. Shane helped verify that the guitar did indeed get picked up by UPS and was on its way. Later in the day I received a message that the guitar was in my area preparing for transfer. Never did I think that an online order would be so complicated, especially in 2026. I called customer support and spoke with a supervisor to express my frustration throughout my experience, and the supervisor repeatedly tried pinning the blame on the store instead of the faulty outdated website. The employees at this location were very respectful and understanding whenever I called, and helped me at every step of the way. Although I had the negative experience with the online side of Guitar Center, this store was a huge pleasure to work with and I really hope they are being compensated properly for their hard work.

Finally I called and was told he was bringing it back over to the store and I could pick it up just before they closed. I picked it up and paid $65 for his time and efforts. He said the static was still present but was perhaps slightly less, and that the static could be coming from the plastic cover plates on the back of the guitar and he said he would make me new replacement covers of a different t material to see if that would alleviate the static. He said he would have them done in about a week. I brought the guitar home and discovered the vibrato trem arm was missing. I called the tech's cell the next day and he never answered or returned messages. I called the shop and they said they didn't know anything about the missing trem arm. After many many attempts I eventually gave up and just ordered a new trem arm from an online shop. I never heard from anyone again about the replacement back plate covers or my missing trem arm. I do not recommend taking a guitar to this shop for any repair. I'm out $65 for attempted repairs, and another $25 to replace the misplaced trem arm myself. Signed...Pissed in Peoria

It took me a long time to decide to write this review, because while some of my experiences with…read moreSteve were great, other times the service was awful. I will give you both sides and you can decide whether or not you want to work with him. I am a singer-songwriter who brought music files to Steve to edit. Once we got the instrumental tracks smooth and in sync, we recorded my vocals. His equipment was superb, much of it made by him to exacting specifications. And, from what I have learned about microphones--including how I sound after using several different ones--I think that the custom one he built was first-rate for my voice. Don't, however, expect a professional atmosphere. Steve records in the living room of his house; and during the time I was there, we had to work around a young baby and a dog. If it's summer, he turns off the air conditioning (because the compressor makes noise); so if you record during the summer months be prepared to sweat. A lot. The best part of the experience was learning how to edit my vocal tracks with ProTools. Steve encouraged me to get the artist's version so I could do the editing at my home, saving money and getting the vocals exactly the way I wanted them. He was generous with his time teaching me how to use the program to edit vocals, and I will always appreciate this. If you're waiting for the major "but," here it is. Most of the problems arose around the mix. It took Steve four months to give me ten songs. He procrastinated, rarely communicated in a timely manner, and in fact acted annoyed that I would even dare to call him to ask about the status of the project. In retrospect, I could tell he really didn't want to mix the album. He should have told me this straight out, instead of leaving me hanging. After four months and about twenty-four hundred dollars poorer (of course my money was not refunded), I was less than happy with the mixes. I brought the files elsewhere whose engineer--who had much more experience with my style of music and also teaches recording at a university--immediately made the piano and guitar sound better. In a few hours, this other engineer did better than Steve had in four months. One major problem was the condition of the files. Somehow Steve had combined time changes (which I had requested) with unwanted key changes. He didn't label the files so you knew what they were. And instead of one instrumental line or one vocal line, various portions of files were in pieces all over the place. The other engineer had to spend extra time getting the files in shape (and, rightly so, charged me for it). One song was ruined to such an extent that I was unable to use the guitar track (which I had already paid for). I had to record other instruments for this song all over again, as well as the vocals which had been recorded too "hot" and were not useable as there was distortion. I have no doubt that Steve is gifted (he spent a fair amount of time telling me that he was, and I did see at least one award he earned). However, he's probably much better doing work solo, such as soundtracks that other studios send him for absolute final revisions. Steve had given me a price break because I was doing an entire album; but there was always the caveat that he'd cancel my session to do work on, say, a movie soundtrack that brought him a much higher fee. Ultimately, considering the money I threw away for a mix I couldn't use, and the extra money I had to pay the new engineer to get my files in workable shape, I probably didn't end up saving a whole lot. If you're a singer-songwriter and not a major studio (which pays Steve a lot more), you should probably look elsewhere. I found Brick Road Studio much more suited to my needs.

But supposedly I was one of two finalists. My interviews went great, and we all seemed to feel good about each other. But they continued to ghost me. Finally, they offered me the job. By the following Monday I had a formal job offer. Although I was beginning to have doubts, I accepted the offer and attended a session of Sandler sales training on a Wednesday before my agreed upon first day the following Monday. On Friday I got a text saying "we need to speak immediately about your first day". So from the golf course I called in and they promptly told me they were rescinding my offer. After much prodding, they finally gave me an answer: When I attended the sales training, they didn't like the way I was dressed. As if I had on blue jeans and a tank top. Fact is, I wore freshly cleaned khaki pants and a blue button down shirt. I looked fine. This was BS. The two senior managers in this company who'd interviewed me twice were not exactly GQ. Rumpled clothes, scraggly beards. They lookedlike they belonged in an AZ DOT cleanup crew. I have no idea what the real reason is. My background check and drug screen were clean. My experience with Artisan was a window into how this company is run. Disorganized, unable to make a simple hiring decision, dishonest. I wouldn't hire them to put in a light bulb.
