Went in to get a new-ish Les Paul Classic re-fretted because I love Gibsons, but hate tiny frets with nibs. Quoted me a price and time that seemed reasonable, and got the job done perfectly right on the money and a month ahead of the scheduled quote. The guitar is perfect; no tooling marks to be seen on the fret ends or at the nut. They even replaced the nut with ZERO lacquer chips. Frets are like glass, and will last longer than I could ever play them. Could not recommend this shop enough. read more

They service lots of different kinds of instruments, not just guitars. Including mandolins, violins, banjos, ukuleles, etc. They were the only place in the Tulsa area I could find that serviced mandolins. They did a great job of fixing up my old mandolin and making it playable again for a reasonable price. read more

I am very protective of my Taylor guitar. Rick tuned her up beautifully and she sounds better than she has in months. Rick's precision and attention to detail are exemplary, and he had decades of experience to back it all up. They also have a wonderful selection of instruments and also offer music lessons on several instruments and for a variety of student levels. Overall, this music store offers great service, sales, and education! read more

They have some beautiful instruments at all different prices from many of the premium brands. They also have a great selection of pedals and some cool amps. But besides all the cool gear, Barnett's has some really down-to-earth people, which is probably the most important thing. The staff there is super friendly and accommodating. No attitude at all. Not like a lot of places I've visited, where you almost need a background check to touch a guitar. And if you want to be left alone, that's no problem either. If you love guitars (electric and acoustic), you should really make it a point to visit Barnett's. It's worth the trip.

A Hidden Gem for Musicians!…read more Whether you're a beginner or pro, Saied's offers great prices on guitars, keyboards, and accessories--cheaper than online stores and Guitar Center. They also offer private lessons and a solid selection of books for teachers and students. For acoustic pianos, head to the 31st and Yale location, but for anything else, 71st has covered. Friendly, local atmosphere that beats big-box stores any day! As a professional music teacher and performer, I buy my books, equipment, and strings at Saied, and would recommend it to any other musician. Cheers!

I was rudely approached by a salesman on the acoustic piano side of the store who asked the cursory salesman question, "Can I answer any questions?" I replied, "No. Just looking." His response was to step a bit closer with his hands in his pocket and his posture exaggeratingly taller giving me a major stare. I asked if this was okay? He then asks, "I know you, don't I?" I said, "Nope. Not from here." His response as he is making me that much more uncomfortable with his glaring stare, "Oh, I know you! You are in here all the time!" He the stares me up and down staring at my shoes and then slowly moving up until he makes eye contact once again. I felt so uncomfortable by this point that I walked out of the store. Here is my suggestion to the owners of this music shop: When a customer walks into your store treat them with respect. The alternative: The 7 to 10Gs the customer was planning on spending on a pro keyboard arranger, workstation and podcast studio equipment will not ever be spent in your store.

I've had a vintage acoustic guitar, a homemade electric guitar, and a vintage banjo all setup and re-strung here. The banjo was nearly ruined by a an amateur garage tech, but was saved by Running Dogs. My experience has always been a reasonable price, friendly service and fast turnaround.
