My wife bought me a lesson package at the Guitar Center for my birthday. It turned out to be a…read morewonderful and valuable gift. I had the very best possible guitar lessons here. I couldn't have landed a better teacher than Jason Lampon. He is an incredibly talented musician and a gifted instructor. Jason "quickly" figures out how to deliver his instruction and breaks his lessons down to a positive and productive format. He is very clear . I enjoyed and looked forward to every minute of each lesson and the the 1 hour lessons seemed like 10 minutes. Jason figures out your goals, takes great notes and knows where he left off from the previous lesson. Thanks Jason, I will be back.

Brought it to my local GC for the return and they were very apologetic and processed the refund without any hassle. They also asked which location it has shipped from and how it had been packaged, presumably in hopes of avoiding the issue for someone else in the future. Huge bummer that a gorgeous bass was damaged, but very appreciative of the great customer service.

I purchased a clearance item, and I was a little concerned hearing that it would be final sale, but once we both noticed that the box had been opened at some point he said that if there was anything critically wrong with it , that would affect its use; He would find a way to make it right. I I understand he probably could not promise a return, at that time, but he did make me feel at ease and I went ahead with the purchase. everything turned out fine of course, so I really really appreciate it.

The lovely human working that day was so kind and helpful. As someone who is making an effort to buy things at locally owned places instead of big box retailers, I appreciated that while they did not have a large selection they did have some variation and the $20 pair I bought was much cheaper than what you see online and they worked so well. So if you ever find yourself in Portland for a show and need a pair- Rhythm Traders has you covered.

This is a review about the in-store experience, not any transactions or trades…read more We stopped in one September afternoon while we were wandering around the Alberta Arts District and wow - what a selection of guitars. My partner has been playing for nearly 25 years, and really enjoyed getting to try out different instruments. I have less interest in guitars, but even I loved walking around to see every shape and style, plus ukuleles. The shop is pretty huge, you feel like it just keeps going. The store is laid back and gives you a lot of space to try things out. Another customer was there and was chatting up everybody, telling stories about his time in bands and how his guitar teacher was Tom Morello. The store employee was very chill and welcoming, and chatted with us as well.

I feel like Robyn has provided me with a lot of parental support, and has always been there to address my questions and concerns. The recitals are really lovely as well. It's wonderful to see the full range of students - from preschool through high school - showcasing their talent in a fun, relaxed environment. I highly recommend MusicWerks.
