Every time I have been to the shop, the employees are always knowledgeable and genuine people who…read morecare more about the customer''s happiness than their profits. I recently bought an acoustic guitar here after months searching. I tried the Guitar Center in SF and Emeryville to try to pinpoint what I was looking for, but couldn't find anything that met my needs. I'm very picky and had given up on finding an acoustic until I walked by Gottschalk's.The sales associate, Jay, greeted me and warmly, but gave me space to try things on my own. As soon as I had a question about the wood backing of a Taylor, they went into a detailed explanation of what it was made of and the pros/cons of the material. After hearing about my long list of preferences for a guitar, Jay suggested I try the Eastman acoustic dreadnaught. I immediately liked how it felt and sounded, which had only happened once before with a handmade vintage Martin acoustic that was way out of my price range. I ended up purchasing the Eastman the next day and am very happy with it. Shoutout to Jay for the help, they were incredibly nice and honest.

Despite forgetting to update their hours online to reflect their COVID-operation reduced hours, I…read moream thrilled about the service I received today. I am new to Merced but when I walked in, it felt like home. Stunning guitars paved the walls to my left, and to my right, a woman requested how she could assist me. I followed her to a door that said "employees only". When she came out, she held exactly what I was looking for: a 5/8 microphone stand for my theramin! During the transaction process, as I was sifting through my wallet, an unmasked man attempted an entry into the store. I stood happily at the counter as the associate refused him service and entry. He waited outside the door and I was exposed to him on my way out, albeit while I was wearing a mask. Thank you to the associates running this lovely store. You're doing a fantastic job. I'll be back! (However, please update your online hours!)

If you are a music teacher or a musician I have a cautionary tale for you. Over 3 months ago, I…read moremade arrangements with Gottschalks Music in Modesto to have an instrument rental night for my students where they would come to my school and my kids could get instruments from them. Even got a phone call last week confirming that they would see me on Monday (8/15). Well, today at 3:45pm I received a phone call from Gottschalks telling me that they had to cancel my instrument rental night. I was taken aback! All i could muster was a, "Why?!?!" And then I was told by the employee that "I was told they we're not doing that and we have to cancel". When I asked why they would do that, after we had this planned and confirmed months ago, he said, "I didn't get a good reason why"... I was so livid. All I got was a "Sorry..." I told them that they really screwed me over and that it's their loss... Then they had the audacity to say, "Well if you still want information about rentals, I can send that to you." I responded with, "If you think I'll EVER do business with you again after the stunt you just pulled, you just be out of your mind!" Then he said, "Sorry..." and I hung up the call. I have never dealt with such a level of unprofessional incompetence in my life! Luckily, this story has a happy ending, and my faith in humanity has been restored. I reached out to Ingram and Brauns Musik Shoppe and told them about my situation. Not only can they host a rental night for me but, I don't have to go through the pain of trying to reschedule the whole event because they can even come this Monday on my original date. So, moral of the story: STEER CLEAR OF GOTTSCHALKS MUSIC! The most undependable, and flaky of all business. Shower Ingram & Brauns with all your affection and business!
