Overall great experience - no pressure - and left with what I was hoping for!…read more I called ahead of time searching for a new acoustic Stratocaster and had a great experience. I own a traditional, American made solid body Strat that I've enjoyed playing for years, plus an amazing acoustic Martin guitar that I love playing unplugged. But I wanted something more versatile I could take with me to jam bands and sound like a solid body guitar when I wanted, but also a true acoustic when I wanted. Called around and Portland Music Company had what I was looking for. We may the trip in from McMinnville. The salesman (or manager?) remembered me from the phone call and had several choices set aside and acoustic amps set up. He helped me home in on what I wanted and added no pressure to purchase. I played several different acoustic Strats on several different amps for the better part of an hour. The salesman was super helpful answering all of my questions. I decided to go for it and still love this guitar today, more than a year later. (I wrote most of this review right after I purchased, but the review got stuck in draft status, so I'm just now posting).

Interesting that these clowns advertise both online and even on the door that they buy, trade or…read moreconsign musical instruments. Last week I took two mid-level guitars in to do consignment. I've never been so insulted. These clowns must have assumed they were stolen. "Where'd you get them? Why are you selling?..." Hey pal, I have multiple instruments and these were two I almost never play (as if it's any of their business). They claimed there were problems with both and weren't interested. Now, I have done business with them multiple times, but they can kiss this customer goodbye! I'm not a thief, but these guys are jerks. To prove these were from my personal collection, I've included a picture of my remaining guitars. I ended up gifting the guitars to my niece.

Michael was quick to help me find the perfect Mesa Boogie and brought down some custom PRS guitars so I could rock out and relax. I had a great time playing for a couple of hours. I returned the next day and continued to play and chat with the great staff. Geoff introduced himself and asked what I was interested in. He brought me a few high quality guitars until I couldn't resist. He made me a smoking deal on the JP Mesa Boogie and a beautiful purple mist PRS. I recommend FSG's and will definitely continue business with them even though I am from the Central Valley in California.

I went in to buy a bass and a practice amp. I got talked into buying this little…read morerecording/headphone device for the same price I wanted the amp ($160). I was told I had 30 days to return it. I didn't like it and tried to return it a few weeks later. What I wasn't told was that I'd only get $50 as in store credit if the box was damaged (just the box, not the actual product itself). The worst part was the guy looked up the resell price on a used version and it came to about $80, but he then took 35% off even though it's a return. I then wanted to buy an amp (What I originally wanted before I was talked into something else) and asked for something around the $150 mark. He then tried to talk me into an amp without telling me the price. I had to firmly ask what the price was twice before he told me it's $300. Even though I was visibly upset from losing $100 from a product I bought from them because the box was damaged. I finally got him to show me exactly what I wanted. If you go here, know exactly what you want and be firm about it so you're not talked into getting something you don't want that costs more money. Also know that the boxes their products are in are worth $100 so you can't return a perfect condition product, within their return window, if the box is damaged.

Thanks to Annisa. Annisa has a great personality as a teacher. She is strict and very friendly, and she blends these very nicely from student to student and that is what makes her a lovable & GREAT teacher. From what I see, she has level set my daughter that learning Piano is nothing but fun. The coursewares recommended by Annisa are FAR better than what I have seen. Another biggest advantage is the "Mock Recital"& "Recital" she arranges every now and then, which completly has given ample confidence in my daughter to perform in public and at any venue on a Grand Piano. I have recommended 3 of friends' kids to her and they feel the same way too. To put it short, if you want a kid-friendly, efficient & productive teacher, you can count 200% on Annisa.
