Over the years I have purchased a few right hand guitars that needed to be changed over to left…read morehand so I can play them. Each of them has been converted, new strings and set up to my satisfaction. Each of the guitars had no buzz and the strings were lowered to my satisfaction. If you don't want to pay the price of the guitar strings they sell then bring your own and they will put them on at the same price as if they sold the strings. Yes, the strings are higher priced than Best Buy or Amazon but consider this is a music store and they do make a profit off of the strings. I have always found the owners and the employees nice and helpful. They offer good advice to me and advice me what is needed to get the used guitar playable for this left handed person. I. Myself, recommend Lanier Music for your musical needs.

Alas, all good things come to an end, so does this location. Years ago, I raved about this place…read morebeing a nerd-vana? Now, it's nothing like that. All the little things that made me want to drive out to this place are dead and gone. Shelving for old X-Box, PS, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, and Intellivision games? Gone. Replaced by row upon row of soulless Funko Pops. Boardgame section? Hardly any used and all new... and no real reason to buy there as opposed to Amazon or other online BG retailer. RPG section? No more 1e D&D modules or older materials, or anything else for that matter. Just the same old 5e crap, with Critical Role mixed in, with video game guides slowly spreading into the section like a cancer. The only good thing was not in the store, but in the parking lot, where they had a car show going on. The place turned from nerd-vana into just another BAM! bookstore (the owners of 2nd & Charles). Won't be back.

We discovered this mecca of used books, video games, role playing games, music and comics years ago…read moreon a road trip between Florida and Texas. It used to be a Books-A-Million from the same chain. They have a great selection of used tabletop RPGs that also includes some new products at full retail price. It's a huge store that buys from customers. Getting into and out of the parking lot is difficult because U.S. 190 and service roads are confusing and traffic is chaotic. I use my phone to navigate even short drives in this part of Covington.

For years I shopped at NO music exchange before it closed, and was left without a place to get what I needed.

My most recent purchase was a sound system for my DJ company and Eddie special ordered my speakers and their cases for me. Eddie even checked in to see if I still enjoyed my purchase! As for the people saying harsh things about this local company, I truly feel like it's likely a misunderstanding on the part of both parties... but I don't know, I wasn't there.

My hubby and I really enjoyed visiting the Louisiana Music Factory (LMF) on Saturday, 09/28/2024…read morewhen in NOLA for a mini vacay from Austin, TX. Located in a brightly colored building on Frenchmen Street (corner of Frenchmen St. & Decatur St.), LMF is one of the longest running record stores in New Orleans. LMF definitely has an old-school record store vibe to it - minus the old musty smell and w/ the modern day comfort of ac. Trust me when I say that you'll for sure want to spend hours at this local NOLA gem, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to visit. LMF has a huge inventory of vinyl records and cds (old and new - all genres, including a great assortment of local New Orleans music) that are neatly organized and reasonably priced. It also carries musical posters, books, and shirts. There is also a Yelp perk of getting $2 off a t-shirt when you check-in on Yelp. Lastly, shout-out to the LMF employees who were very helpful during our visit - very much appreciated! Till next time, Rebecca

Not once did they call me to give me a quote, when they originally said they would call with a quote within 2 days. I had to call, the quote was $60 for a deep take apart cleaning, I made sure I repeated the deep cleaning, they said yes. Again no phone call, we had to call several times for several days to see if it was ready. When we picked it up, it looked untouched. They tried to blame it on me that I didn't give them enough time, when I clearly checked the time frame before I even brought it to them. Then said if they had more time they could have done a deep cleaning. That is not what was told to me the several different times I specifically asked. DO NOT use this place EVER! They lie, they are rude and unprofessional and I will do all I can to make sure no one ever goes there. If they had a negative star option, I would give it NEGATIVE STARS!!
