The knowledge of the personnel and the quality of product are great. I've learned not to buy an instrument online as I don't have a trained eye for potential defects. I purchased an Eastman tenor ukulele with a beautiful tone, and the chords are easy to play--something I've never experienced before with my previous stringed instruments. read more

Just received my new Eastman E1P-CLA, super fast shipping and exactly what I was after. Will use SKY for future Eastman purchases!

I'm new to bass guitar and was looking for a particular model jazz bass, and Sky Guitars was the only shop in the area that carried it in the finish I wanted. Not only that, but shop owner Erik is a pro luthier who will set up your guitar for free if you buy it from him. This store has just about everything a guitarist needs, so I got my entire starter kit here in one go -- amp, cable, guitar stand and a strap. Besides instruments, they've got a nice selection of cases and gig bags too and a wide variety of replacement strings. They sell some used instruments and equipment as well. In fact somebody had just traded in a vintage Fender Bassman amp that sounded better than the new Rumble series, so I picked it up! Everybody in the shop was knowledgeable, nice to deal with and I got a great price on the whole rig. Best of all I know where to take my bass if it ever needs repair or enhancement. This is a great place to live near if you're a musician! read more

Sky Guitars - 70s Jazz bass - Guitar Stores Near Me - Denton, Texas

This place doesn't allow you to touch their guitars. Lol. We plucked the E string on a few guitars to see which ones we wanted to ask to take down to play, and the owner basically ran over to tell us we were manhandling the guitars and that he has never seen anyone do that in his store. I'm literally in shock, so laughable . I'm not sure how that was a problem. But don't go here. Guitar center is the way better than this place. Work on your customer service skills. We were looking to buy a few guitars and you lost that business. Too funny. read more

Just visited this place for my first time. Had a guitar with one missing string. Got the guitar with new string and cleaned for only less than 4$. Guy named Phil helped me out. Great store if you need help or something. Highly recommended. read more

Sky Guitars - Guitar Stores Near Me - Denton, Texas

If you're a guitar player, this is a fantastic place for you! Theres a large and interesting selection of both rare and entry level guitars. However as a bass player, the selection is severely lacking. They have low-end and extremely high-end basses with almost no in-between. In addition to that, they only have one or two brands to choose from. I'd love to support a small denton business, but there's just so little to pick from read more

Sent in my all solid wood dreadnaught from Santa Clara California as their website said they can fix a warped neck with heat and steam. I could not find anyone local who confidently would tell me they could fix my guitars neck in such a simple and inexpensive maner. It turned out my neck was warped and twisted and The playability was harsh. These guys fixed my neck and gave me an awesome set up. My guitar sounds and plays better than ever. It cost as much to ship as to repair and it was worth every penny. I would recommend them to all. Thank you for making my guitar great again. Oh, I almost forgot. I waited almost a year to write this review because folks were telling me heat treating would not last and the wood would go back to the warped shape. Well the guitar is perfect and I have no regrets. read more

Brought my guitar in because the electronics were messy, yet functioning. I wanted to see how much it would cost to have everything straightened out and left it at the store to have the repair man check it out and give me an estimate on the repair. Was told he would definitely call me before doing any work. I get a call a week later telling me it's done and costs about 40 dollars more than I was looking to spend. I end up calling Erik, the owner and guy who actually repaired the guitar, and he could care less about my situation. Here's a quote from their website: "Erik will sit down and explain what work is required to get your instrument in top playing condition. No work is done until you have agreed on the work you want done." Never happened for me. I'm upset because if he had called and told me how much it would've been I could have just told him not to worry about it and saved myself $100. This guy seriously did not care about costumer service. He talked to me as if he had done me some huge favor by taking so much time out of his busy schedule to fix the guitar I had never even agreed to have repaired. I'll never go back again. read more

I dropped off my 1970s handmade acoustic guitar that had several issues. The neck was definitely warped and the binding had come off the back of the guitar. They replaced the truss rod straightened the neck and glued the binding. My guitar is playable again thanks to Sky Guitars. read more

HORRIBLE! GO TO A PAWN SHOP! you will get treated with more respect. Bought a drum set mute kit from these hacks. Got home, which is 2 blocks from this place and it did not fit my drum set. Naturally I went back to return or exchange it for the one that fit (this was maybe 20 minutes total). The fat hipster kid behind the counter looked over the box and ran his hands all over it like he was on a date and found a nick on the box that was smaller than a dime and said, "sorry bra, can't return it". They lost my business forever. If you are a real musician from denton then you know the reputation of this place. Go to Glenn's on university or McBride's on the square, let this place earn a name for themselves. read more

I like this place. A great selection of accessories tops the list. Strings, pickups, etc. are plenty. I also noticed a variety of decent line amplifiers and p.a. equipment. Plus a helpful staff with a good attitude gives it my 3 stars. They seem to fall short on the high end acoustic guitar lines but well worth a visit. Do it man. read more

Got my daughter her next guitar for her birthday. They seemed nice and helpful. I was disappointed to hear that my daughter thought that the boy with the freaky hair and looked like he stank (I didn't get close enough to check if he actually smelled) was cute (groan). read more

Great experience purchasing my first guitar. - Fender CC-60s Nat. The staff did a wonderful job. Be sure to try this place out!

Sky Guitars did a great job fixing up my late father's 1960s Gretsch for me! The rear pickup had never worked since I've used it. I took it in on Christmas Eve (Thursday), and they were able to have it ready to go on Monday so I could fly back to New York with it. Erik was extremely helpful and made me feel very comfortable trusting him with an instrument that has incredible sentimental value. He was very clear about the possibilities of being able to meet my tight timeline along with the challenges of having to do all the work through the pickup mounts because it has no rear-access panel. This did make the work more expensive, but the cost was reasonable. He tested the pickup right away after I dropped it off and called to let me know the pickup itself worked and that he'd be able to complete the work over the weekend. He provided an updated estimate for cleaning all the electronics, repairing the binding, and doing a setup/adjustment with new strings. When I picked it up, the other store employees were also friendly and helpful. They gave good recommendations on strings for a relative's acoustic guitar, and Erik demonstrated how all the switches on my guitar work. As someone who is obviously a beginning guitar player, I was very appreciative that they were so welcoming and encouraging. I'm so glad I was able to get this work done in Denton! Thanks so much, Sky Guitars! read more

Nice guys and very helpful. I'm used to music store employees in Texas being complete losers so this is a breath of fresh air. The guys there seem genuinely stoked about gear and are always down to talk about new things. Good selection of the day to day stuff you'll need and not overpriced read more

Since I started playing guitar in the mid 90's there's only one place I take my guitar, Sky Guitars. The one time I took it somewhere else was a nightmare, and I ended up having to take it to Sky Guitars to have the other shop's work repaired. When I first started going here as a teenager it was just some little hole in the wall repair shop, where the luthier Erik looked like he was going to be buried by all the guitars crammed into the little room. They've expanded though, gotten bigger, however the service has always stayed fantastic. Only once have I ever had an issue with the work done, but I took it back and they fixed it for free. I don't know how good their prices are as a music store (though they always have good specials on strings when I get a set-up), but when it comes to getting work done on your guitar or getting a set-up, this is the place to go. read more

These dudes were super helpful, and the store had a great selection of gear, guitars, and pedals.

Placed an order online and they told me that they do not offer the products I ordered or free shipping. Bogus.

I bought an amplifier for our guitar from Sky and they boxed the floor model up for my son. When he opened it we noticed scratches and tried to return it for one that was not damaged and they accused me of scratching it. They lost my business; really enjoyed supporting this local shop until this incident. read more

Erik at Sky Guitars was very accommodating with my purchase of my new American Standard Stratocaster. His setup was perfect and he was not only very responsive with pre-purchase questions, but post-sale as well (even dumb questions). First-rate service and received my new guitar next-day (from Denton to Austin). Cannot recommend this store highly enough!!! read more

I have been a customer here for around 15 years and I can say that I have received excellent service every step of the way from both the work shop and the retail store. I personally value the lengths taken by this guitar shop to insure each and every instrument on the retail sales floor remains in absolutely perfect/new condition. If I am spending money on a new guitar I expect it to be free of any marks or indentations from store player wear. The Stratocaster I recently purchased was flawless. Erik, the Owner/Luthier of Sky Guitars, has an eye for detail and execution that is second to none. After counting on Sky Guitars to set up or repair over a dozen guitars over the years, each one has come back simply perfect. To sum it up.....buy a new guitar here with confidence that it will be perfect and set up free of charge and drop off that vintage high dollar instrument for repair without a worry. read more

Made some changes of late. For the worse, I think. You'll hear every customer informed of what you were informed of when you came in..."please don't touch the guitars." Especially the ridiculously expensive martins. Not dissing martin guitars, but I'm not too sure who will throw down money for one in this college town. Good luck with that. Had a guy tell me straight up what length bass strings I needed after he looked up my bass online. They were the wrong size. Upon return, a different guy looked up the instrument and proclaimed I needed exactly the opposite strings while the previous salesman was right there. No apology and no refund. Just a little 10 percent reach around on the correct strings. Said they couldn't sell them after opened. These guys are like the convenience store of music, in my view. While I'm sure they are excellent at setups and repairs, I would stay online for retail and wait for shipping. read more
