I started my son Alexander who has a IEP in school and is on the spectrum (special needs) when he was 8years old playing ukelele. He since has continued playing uke and over the past 4 years has been taking lessons for piano to get ready for his next year marching band audition for Cherry Creek High School! He had held a A+in his middle school band all through 6th, 7th, and now 8th grade he's way ahead of his peers in so many areas of music. Fast forward to 2 years ago our oldest son wanted to audition and compete for first chair trumpet in his band class as a junior in high school at cherry creek high school. He felt he maxxed out with where he was at and needed that extra push and tutoring to acheive more. He asked me to sign him up for private trumpet lessons this past summer. Here we are in September of same year and after a summer of private lessons he auditioned and made FIRST CHAIR TRUMPET in his band class and for Cherry Creek Marching Band !!! (Did I mention CCHS ranked #1 for welcome week and in 5A tournament )!!! Wendy&Dale are the best ! All the instructors they hire are top notch and our invested in their students to succeed and not just in music but the why behind music , their self esteem, and technical skills that go along with it. I could t be more blessed to have found this school for my children. I have two other kids that will also play music this year. One more trumpet and one more piano or drums!!! This school has an amazing g new facility that they are in the process of moving into because they grew out of their old one ! They are so humble but I feel like if there is anyone out there that is looking for a true music school who will help their child learn music, love music appreciate music and embrace music this has to be the school they enroll in!!! Thank you CMI for all you have done and continue to do !! Congratulations on your award for National Music School of the Year!!!!!!!!

So many people enjoying music and playing instruments. The selection of guitars and amps was off the hook. Drums, sheet music, accessories and everything in between. They even have areas for instrument repair and music lessons. Everyone seemed like they were happy and really enjoying being in the store. It's clearly a place people like to hang out. A social center of sorts. I liked the fact they had armed security in the parking lot and inside the front door. There simply can't be too much security these days. The parking lot was simple and wee maintained. The staff was friendly bordering on perky. Thumbs up for Guitar Center.

TLDR: Spampinato guitars is the best luthier and guitar retailer I have ever worked with, 10/10 -…read moreif you don't bring your guitar/bass here for work you're making a mistake. ---- I've been a regular customer of Mason, Matt and Charlie for 2 years. I run a small studio near city park that has 8 guitars that need maintenance, they've worked on all of them. I've always had an interest in guitar building and maintenance - so I've worked with and learned from many luthiers over the years. There is a difficult balance in experience and skillset where you need someone who 1) understands the dynamics and malleability of wood on a deep level 2) understands the tertiary skills needed for guitar maintenance (finishing, fretboard inlays, soldering/electronics, etc.) and 3) *actually plays the instrument at an almost professional level so they understand the balance of playability and tone, especially in relation to different techniques for playing bass or guitar - like slide, slap bass, etc. All three professionals at Spampinato hit that balance perfectly. *Their set ups are so fucking good, I've had professional musicians with custom basses pick up my cheap Squire JP and say they want to buy it because it "plays amazingly"*. In reality, it's just properly set up. I've recently enrolled in their guitar building workshop and seen firsthand how Matt and Mason approach guitar building and maintenance. It's clear that they've researched common techniques and, when they deviate, have clear reasoning and are trying to always provide the best outcome for the customer. They are also patient and have had no hesitation answering my litany of questions. I've referred over half a dozen other musicians to their shop and each one has had a phenomenal experience. If you're able to work with Mason, Matt or Charlie and you go somewhere else you're spoiling a phenomenal opportunity and making a mistake.

Nevertheless, a face plant to the hardwoods left me with a broken headstock. I dropped it off at Victor Guitar and they gave me two options: 1. The pro fix involving splines 2. The less invasive fix involving pressure and glue for about 1/2 the cost. Since I don't gig anymore, I went with the second option. Two days later, I picked up my Guild and could hardly tell anything had ever happened. A quick scan revealed the action a bit higher on the bass side of the neck, so Tom happily adjusted the truss rod for no extra charge. I'm happy to note that I've since since enjoyed a second session with my little girl, who was 100% satisfied with dad's performance as Dad is with Victor Guitar.....I think. Great guys. Custom shop and feel. Great customer service. Highly recommended.

You can also see where the old pick guard was and when you lay the old pickguard on top of the new they are not the same size. First time I've came here and I came because of all of the reviews. I need to have tuners replaced. I won't have them do it. It cost $410. I also failed to mention that when they repaired the cracked bridge, they put in new pins and kept the originals. That is on me for not noticing and asking about them. I don't play and I inherited this guitar from an old friend who just passed away. They did leave me the old original pick guard. I am now going to have the guitar completely refurbished.

When I play tested it I was surprised by how well the horn played. I was not expecting much from a 90 year old instrument. The sound is clear and spot on for a Johnny Hodges solo.
