Nicole is an artist. You'll see it right away when you step into her amazing workshop and start talking about your instrument. Nicole has tremendous respect for the instrument and the musician. I'm actually shocked at how much better my guitar is. She got the neck, the pickup height, the intonation, and the action dialed in perfectly. Everything about my guitar is better: tone, dynamics, playability. Maybe Nicole isn't the cheapest option, but for skill like hers... well some things are just worth paying for. I thought the price was fair and exactly as estimated.

She adjusted my Gibson Hummingbird on the spot and only took her a few minutes. She will be my go to guitar tech for life!

I just purchased a beautiful white on white California Corona Stratocaster from Westcoast guitars…read more Glen showed me a complete range of guitars from custom to manufactured. Literally every guitar I tried was impeccably set up and highly playable. He thoroughly explained a number of options so I could select what was best for me. I choose this Stratocaster because it was amazingly playable and the price was surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the guitar.

My beautiful semi hollow vantage was a bit aged. The dials didnt work very well. Screws were rusty. Overall my baby just needed a good trip to the guitar doc for a checkup. After reading the reviews on westcoast it was a no brainer for me. They have an amazing track record FOR A REASON! Not only were they suuuuper sweet and made me feel comfortable even though I had no idea what I needed. But when it came to the work they discovered not as much needed to be done so they took care of my baby for such a great price! She looks good. She sounds good. She feels good. I will definitely be back for my other babies and when I'm ready to add to the collection. Thank you so much guys!!!

I've made a purchase and wanted to say I'm not at all happy with the service…read more I bought a small 40$ harmonica. I asked the gentleman if it was definitely a C major harmonica, which he assuredly confirmed. Went home and immediately noticed one of the scales was incomplete, therefore making it unusable for me. The F note was missing for one of the 2 scales. That was by design, of course, but what was not - was the gentleman not letting me know before the purchase that it was not a full C major scale. I didn't see the accompanying flyer either, because I bought a new one, not the one I saw on the counter. Going back the next day he was unfriendly, and refused to offer a refund, because "i had already blown into the harmonica". That to me is just an excuse to refuse the refund, because modern day sanitization. would have easily solved that. It's not the price tag that bothers me, but having been deceived and having received poor customer service does. Wrote them an email, but never heard back. Avoid this shop unless you really need their services.

Do not be fooled by the size of Bonerattle, the selection of guitars, drums and other rad instruments in all price points is a thing to behold. Ideas brim in my head about my want of learning to play the drums and I queried the gentleman working the store about lessons and guitars and all sorts of things that I could. For the record, guitar lessons here are from professionally world renowned musicians Stephen Nikleva and Jimmy Roy, who have both worked with international artists and each has a very unique and amazing guitar style. Lessons start at $20.00 per half an hour and are from Monday to Friday between 5:00pm and 8:00pm. Bonerattle is a gem of a music store!

Hiroki-san was very courteous and quick in his email replies to book an appointment. He's in high demand so he requires almost a month's advanced notice to get an ideal time. When he arrived and did an initial test, the piano was flat to the point that an A was registering as a G. He said he would try to tune it but with the risk that a string might snap as he did multiple passes at it. I have no idea how piano tuning works and agreed to a more complex option on his price list. He cleaned and vacuumed my piano and was super patient with all my questions. My piano was returned to proper tuning after he worked for 3 hours straight tuning by ear then playing a little bit. Hiroki-san also gave me some maintenance tips and a card to lookup my client file for future annual tunings (which I will be adhering to here on out). I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking to tune their acoustic piano. Thank you so much for restoring my piano!
