This review is long overdue.

They fixed the binding and just made it sound incredible, so I just want to say thank you to them. I highly recommend this shop.

He handed me my guitar, I was speechless! I looked at him, , trurned around and left. He knew better that to even ask me to pay him. He might be good repairing amps, but I don't think he's really a "luthier", he's not even set up to do finish work.

I love this little Ukulele shop. The owners are the best! Every time I pop in, I feel like they're…read morefamily. I'm definitely wanting to make friends with them, and learn all I can about Ukuleles and playing Ukuleles. I purchased my Tenor Uke from them and I love it so much. I started playing Ukulele last year, and purchased several from different shops. Park in the alley, behind the place, go through the big iron gate, and find them to your left, just past the hair salon. I need some time to go in and hang out. These people are great! P.S. Friendliest service ever. Highly recommend. Highly. Highly. Did I say "HIGHLY" recommend? Because genuinely I do. This is the place, if you want to learn about Ukuleles. This is their life. They're also part of the Ventura Ukesters, a group of people who love to play Ukulele in Ventura County and do performances around the county. I just love that.

Tired of dealing with trash in Santa Barbara, specifically the weird upper state/uptown Santa…read moreBarbara people (like the sutter hospital case) that think they're above the law. Also dealing with children whose first or second year being employed and or running the store. So this Michael, curly haired man was telling me that they didn't have a book I wanted so I was going to resort to the normal route-buying it on Amazon and getting it shipped to my door the next day. But he insisted that he can get it transferred from another store and it'll be three days tops, he took my info down and said he'll give me a ring after it arrives. And I wanted to support local so I waited the old school way. After two weeks went by I didn't get a call or text so I decided to call them and this lady picks up and said yes they do have it. I came in the store and they didn't have it and he went off angry and screaming at me basically because I'm a dummy - 'like if you don't put a deposit down, you won't get it.' He was saying it all fast paced and clearly very annoyed of me. I mean what are they busy doing? All of the instruments I've touched are all dusty and ragged looking and most are made in china and doubled the price of online. He initially told me I didn't even need to put a deposit and now he's screaming at me and irritated at me and arguing back and forth with a customer. Unprofessional and milks the hourly doing nothing. I hope no one supports this outdated looking and made in china products store. If you want great customer service from all departments for music- go to Santa Maria, Oxnard or Westlake Village for The Guitar Center, they are super professional and they're actually rockstars that will keep you and/or your child inspired.
