I just got back from a great experience at Diplomate. Man, I love when I'm so happy with a business…read morethat I can't wait to write it up for y'all to see! Diplomate is a small music store on Beaubien, near the metro. They don't have everything, so I hadn't thought to check them out in my last couple weeks of looking for a certain pedal. But walking by today I stuck my head in and was amply rewarded. Not only did they have it, it was significantly cheaper than anywhere else I've seen it! And even more importantly, the service: respectful, helpful, no music store snark at all. I think a player of any instrument at any level in their playing would be treated like a valued customer here, and that's as it should be. 5 stars for sure! And thanks!!

Simply some of the best in their class. These luthiers make everything from traditional classical…read moreguitars to heavy metal axes to banjos to forward-looking, modern electrics. The shop also hosts shows for local musicians to showcase their talents. Extremely helpful and friendly crowd.

Toby and his team are the most knowledgeable, professional and capable guitar techs in the city…read more I've trusted them to setup several of my guitars, electrics and acoustics, over the last few years. They do a stellar job every time. Most recently, I had to bring a new Martin OM28 in for a repair because the high E string was too close to the edge of the fretboard (such that if I did a downward pull-off, the string would roll off the crowned edge of the frets, killing those notes). Toby immediately spotted that the nut slots were improperly spaced (which was kind of disappointing for a brand new Martin, but at least Martin covered the repair). The repair and setup was done PERFECTLY! I couldn't believe what a difference it made...to the point, I felt compelled to email Toby to thank him and to post this review (something I never do). Montreal guitarists need to know about this place. They are the authorized service center for all the big name brands (including Martin, Taylor, Fender and Gibson). Yes, they unfortunately have a two month waiting period at the present time, but that's only because they have a stellar rep. But not to worry, you don't have to be without your guitar during that period. Just contact them to make an appointment and reserve your spot. Then they'll contact you when it's time to bring your guitar in and it will be ready for pickup within a week for simple repairs or setups. All I can say is that it's well worth the wait! If you want your guitar to play and sound its best, do yourself a favor and take it to Montreal Guitar. Thanks Toby and gang! You have a loyal customer for life (for the record, I am not affiliated with Montreal Guitar in any way...I'm just a very happy customer who wants to spread the word to my fellow Montreal guitarists). Happy picking!

What a cool place, they have books, CDs, and musical instruments all in the same store! I could spend all day here! Prices are decent, not always the cheapest I'm sure, but not enough of a difference to have me drive to best buy instead to check cd prices... Musical gear seems to be pretty standard for pricing. The staff I've delt with over the last year do not spek English, at all. I've dealt wit 4 or 5 of them. That's cool though cause they speak music...works. If I need technical info I have to look up online before I come. That's the only inconvenience for me, but relly it's helping me get better at French anyways. As far as negotiating rices, they don't seem like that kind of place, but I'm not the one to be able to judge when I can barely scrape by communicating in French. All in all, a great place. I keep going back! Take Amex too.
