I am always impressed with the inventory and variety of gear. From quality student models all the way up to high end professional instruments, I have seen it at this store. I personally have always found the prices very competitive on the gear that I have been shopping for at their store. Thank you

We got excellent service and advice from the moment we walked in the door. Once I told the salesman…read moremy price range, he focused in one guitars that fit what I was looking for and gave us time and space to try them out. I'm so glad I discovered this place and we will definitely be back. One downside is that one of the sale guys snapped at my son when he was touching a guitar (before I had a chance to redirect him) and that was a turnoff and a big contrast to how our salesman interacted with us.

I signed up for classes at David's Guitar Loft because I read many positive online reviews. It was important for me that the instructors have a degree in music, and experience teaching beginners. I have taken guitar lessons from Adam at David's Guitar loft for about a year and a half. The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I bought a guitar and supplies there, but no one ever pressures you to buy anything, which I like. If you're interested in buying anything, the staff is really nice- they let you play any instruments and answer your questions. They even put a guitar on hold for me so I could "sleep on it" when deciding if I wanted to buy it or not. The other thing I like is that when I first called about taking guitar lessons, they matched me up with Adam based on what kind of music I wanted to learn how to play. I would highly recommend David's Guitar Loft for anyone wanting to take guitar lessons, or buy instruments or supplies in St. Louis!

Note, I shipped my saxophone to them, we talked over the phone on the work to be done, and they shipped it back. Best playing horn I've ever had!

The guys are great and they tweaked the horn in a short minute. They answered some questions and I bought a few things. Great saxophone museum on the 2nd floor too! (The National Saxophone Museum!)

The Crestwood location has been helping me accumulate quite a bit of musical equipment for many years. Here is my take on a particular one star review ( I am sure you will see it, probably under this one. First, it is not the store's fault you didn't purchase the warranty, second, the store followed policy to the letter, third, if you knew what you were buying in the first place, why did you buy it? A one star review on a store because YOU were uneducated is YOUR fault, not theirs. I have never had a bad experience there. Maybe because I am a professional musician and know how to tell a good instrument from a bad one. Kudos to knowledgeable and helpful staff, and a great selection of instruments.

She's immediately rude, confused and audibly ignored after a simple question of whether or not the guitar comes with a case. She exhales deeply when I ask if someone can verify the condition for me.

If I was her manager and had overheard this phone call in person, I would have fired her on the spot. I would avoid this guitar center. This is one of the bad ones.
