A few weeks ago I was searching for a particular (out of production) vintage jazz electric guitar…read more Online I found what looked to be the perfect match for me--at a very attractive price. BUT we all know of rumors (and unfortunately some true) stories of online purchases that went to bad ends.[That's not why I'm writing this YELP!] I am writing to endorse the owner of this store--his honesty and truthfulness! All via long distance from several states away. I satisfied my curiosity by researching the guitar model first--and in-market price ranges. Once I found the guitar, I opened an email exchange with the owner (Joe) and was directed to his website. Once I'd proven that this was an established, credible business with employees and history, I was engaged. Upon finding out that this is a community-centered business with ties to the town and a history of business--topped off by being a proudly-proclaimed family business. I was convinced. Joe and I agreed to handle the transaction via his credit card processor and bank (same bank I use) and agreed to shipping arrangements and details. The receipt arrived first and within a few days, as informed, the guitar arrived with no harm in transit what so ever. Exactly as Joe had promised and superbly packed and protected by him very well during shipment. I'm exceptionally happy in my new guitar having reignited my interest in the instrument, and happy to have made a new friend in the music store business. AND, reinforcing my belief in the honesty of small businesses once again. IF you are in the Joliet IL area, get to know these folks. If you are seeking a vintage instrument at a very honest price, check here!

He inspected the guitar, took it in back and five minutes later, it was ready to go! I had the guitar at another store called House Of Music in Orland Pk where they were unable to perform this service after holding onto the guitar for 5 days. I would definitely recommend Axes to anyone looking for equipment repairs. I'll also be checking them out for guitar lessons.

Zach called William over and William gave it a good inspection, call for second opinion and came back with a very fair offer. I am happy to be able to get a little bit of money for it and that someone else will have a chance to play it. I think it's a win for all. I would highly recommend modern music as I think they are a very reputable and honest business.
