This time the shop had moved to a new location. I was staying downtown and was able to hop on the rail and arrive within a reasonable, but m,operate walk from the train stop. It wasn't necessarily an ideal walk front eh train, but definitely manageable. This shop is always packed with cool stuff - in this newer location they have much more space and Heaven more great stuff. New and used, they have lots to look at. I was definitely impressed with the guitar pedals that they keep in stock. Really appreciate the ability to check out some uncommon stuff that I have been interested in potentially adding to my pedal board. The folks here are always friendly and obviously love talking about music equipment as much as I do. Definitly A+ for Flipside Music shop!

Super helpful and kind. Fair pricing and their crew is very knowledgeable. Great shop dogs too!read more

Banjo selection has got to be the best in the state, and they still have a good selection of other instruments as well. If you ask nicely, they'll let you test drive some absolute beauts! Also very helpful with set ups, accessories, and just generally talking to you about what you're looking for without judginess. (Which bears mentioning because some music stores can feel very cliquey and/or gate keepy.) We're honestly pretty lucky to still have a place like this. Go support it so we keep it!

You can also see where the old pick guard was and when you lay the old pickguard on top of the new they are not the same size. First time I've here and I came because of all of the reviews. I need to have tuners replaced, but now I will also have the new pick guard replaced too. I won't have them do it. It cost $410.

It. Was. Not. But Tenorio Werx was very through in explaining the history of the guitar, the various issues with it, some stemming from its hapdash original manufacturing, and explained the process and costs it would take to fix a guitar. He also gave me some ideas on how to recycle it if I was uncomfortable with just throwing it out. If I ever come across another guitar in need of refurbishing, I'd definitely take it here.

Because every time I bring my guitar in, it comes out feeling brand new. Every time. Mark's education is always insightful, advising you when to buy and when you shouldn't. D'Addario strings are the only strings on the market that are consistently guaged as they say they are for example. D'Addario should pay him cause I havn't bought a different brand since. Those things make a difference. And you sure as shit are not going to get that at Guitar Center or really any store in town. If you gotta guitar that needs attention, this is your guy. You won't get a better setup. And not to mention, we guitar players are often high maintenance. So everyone of us comes in with drama or desperation. And he understands totally and will give you a realistic turnaround.

I spoke to the customer service at headquarters- who was amazing - and said they consider floor models to be new instruments despite all the hands that have handled it, scratched and dents. I originally gave this 1 star but I changed to 3 star because customer service fixed the issue. They sent us a brand new guitar from the warehouse just as we had asked for in the first place. Be aware if you order and it's back ordered or not in stock at the time, you might get a floor model. Except for the back and forth and the hassle of having to return the instrument, I would still shop here.

So many people enjoying music and playing instruments. The selection of guitars and amps was off the hook. Drums, sheet music, accessories and everything in between. They even have areas for instrument repair and music lessons. Everyone seemed like they were happy and really enjoying being in the store. It's clearly a place people like to hang out. A social center of sorts. I liked the fact they had armed security in the parking lot and inside the front door. There simply can't be too much security these days. The parking lot was simple and wee maintained. The staff was friendly bordering on perky. Thumbs up for Guitar Center.

By word of mouth, after trying several local repairmen, I got wind of "Shon" at Sound Town. He combed over the amp tooth and nail, and finally solved the problem for me, a problem that turned out to be not so much a broken component (my guess) as operator error, a change-over from an active to passive guitar, and the need for a suitable pre-amp to boost the signal . It took a lot of testing and reading of manuals and schematics, before Sean figured out what was going on. He went so far as to compare my sound-levels with those of other amps in the stores and he was quite patient and thorough in every regard. I made several trips to the store, and became acquainted with three key people there, all of whom were very nice, and I got a feeling for their special niche in the music world, which is the supplying of sound systems and various components, whether for rentals-out or for purchase. They keep a fair supply of guitar needs and are happy to order anything you might want at a fair price. Though Guitar Center and places like Kolacny's and Flesher-Hinton all have their place, I'll always begin by shopping here because of their patience and kindness. It is a special kind of store with special kind of people, and it always feels good to be patronizing a locally owned business of modest proportions. Bravo!
