If you have ever had to audition for a band, you will know what it is like to shop at this store. I…read morehave bought three guitars at other GC stores in other states and found them to be friendly, welcoming places. Not this store. I have purchased effects pedals, strings and a few other things here and each time felt that I had to pass an audition just to be allowed to buy something. As soon as you enter, the staff is checking you out. If you don't measure in some way that I can't figure out, you're not "in the band" and they seem to be eager for you to finish up and leave. I would give it one star, but they have an interesting collection of used electric guitars, if that's your thing, and you are cool enough to be allowed time to look at them. Not sure what you have to do to be cool enough to get to try one out though. I have lots of money and I am always looking for another guitar, but there are lots of other stores ...

Just took my money at the register. Would like to patronize local businesses, but I've gotten more response and help online. This review was originally posted as from San Francisco, CA, but I am local where this business is.

Great music store!…read more So many beautiful instruments (guitars, banjos, violins, etc.) available to rent or buy. A terrific selection of instructional books and sheet music for those instruments. And just about any accessories you might need (strings, straps, resin, etc.). The staff were super-friendly and helpful. Definitely worth checking out for anyone into music!

I have taught at Advance Music, Rock Camp, and many of the Youth Programs at 242 Main while I was the assistant manager there. I've also had my instruments serviced by most of the local luthiers (it's good to know who's good). On one hand, we are very lucky to have as many good options in Burlington as we do, but when students and band-mates ask me who to send their instruments to my first recommendation has always been Nowa at Randolin. Here are some of my instruments that have been repaired by Nowa: Solid Body electrics (bolt on, neck thru, 6 string, 7 string, 8 string) Steel String Acoustics (six string, 12 string) Ukulele Stand up Bass Here are some of the specific repairs he's done: Fret work Bridge resets Pickup wirings Fingerboard re-glues Acoustic instrument pickup installs Here are some talking points about my customer service experiences with Nowa: 1) When asked specifically for a quote, he's always produced one and come close to staying within said quote. 2) His breadth of knowledge and credentials allow him to do a wider range of repairs than other luthiers in the area. 3) He has always treated me and my repairs like a priority (when I've asked him to stay within a deadline). I understand this is difficult to do with a repair que as large as his. 4) He has stood by his work, sometimes beyond the 6 month warranty. Any time one of his repairs hasn't held up he's made it right. 5) Because let's face it, money matters, he has always had the most reasonable invoices of any of the luthiers I've done business with. Again, we have many good luthiers in the Burlington Area. Nowa is always my first pick.
