They have a great selection of products for guitarrón, vihuela, and guitar, plus assorted other wind, brass, and string instruments. I came here for their Guadalupe guitarrón strings, which they always keep in stock. Also purchased La Bella 900B guitar strings (my favorite) which they also always have in stock (I usually have to special order them when I purchase those at Sam Ash). Reasonable prices and great service from a family owned operation. I highly recommend.

However, after about a month of playing, the C string just came unwound out of nowhere. The nylon coil separated from the nylon core. I emailed them and got a response pretty fast. Jacob said they would send me a replacement string ASAP. I got it Within a couple days. This is my first time purchasing Guadalupe Strings and I'd buy them again just for the customer service.

I had the worst experience with Guadalupe strings customer service. I bought some quinta…read morehuapanguera strings from them, which broke while i was changing them. I contacted them to let them know what had happened, and they blamed me, they said I didn't know how to change the strings, that my instrument was to blame, that other "professional" musicians like myself didn't know how to change strings ( they referred me to a youtube video) and they didn't accept that their product was defective. I bought two sets of strings (over priced), two strings broke, and i had to mix and match from both sets to get one complete set. I wasn't asking for my money back or a new free set, i was only letting them know that their product had problems, and they were very very rude, mocking me, and blaming me for the low quality of their strings. I'm never buying from them again, i can find better quality strings anywhere else, better priced, and with better customer service.

Maybe it was an old tech, but still .. this is inexcusable, especially for a business that claims to be professional.

Not sure where they got the price but even the manufacturer literally sells it for no more than $120, so I realized something definitely didn't add up. I mentioned this to them and they honored the price with no questions. Harness worked great, but like the other reviews have mentioned: be sure to do your research before buying anything there in person or they might overcharge you!!! In addition, all sales are final so be sure it's something you're absolutely sure you won't return because they won't tell you that all items are non-returnable.
