Paid $130 for a setup and got lazy, dismissive service…read more From the start he brushed off my bass because it was a little beat up and an unusual shape. I mentioned adding a small weight in the control cavity to balance neck dive, and he dismissed it with, "no, don't do that, that's where the electronics are." The action was high at the nut and overall. After his "setup," it came back basically unchanged -- and now the A and D strings bottomed out at the high frets. I told him the nut needed filing; he insisted nut height doesn't affect action until I proved it. He took it back, filed the low E only, and handed it back. I had to point out again that the A and D were unplayable and send it back a second time. Even then, nothing was really fixed. End result: I lost $130, my bass plays worse than before, and I'll still have to do the setup myself.

I called the Arlington Heights GC today to talk to a. Guitar tech about brining in 2 guitars. I tried for 30-40min to get someone on the line, it just rang. I eventually called the main sales floor, and the guy answers, "hello guitar center" very cold. No "high this is Steve, Arlington heights guitar center, how can I help you".... Like most business would answer the phone. It felt like I was I inconveniencing him. I voiced my displeasure of not being able to reach anyone. He said," oh yeah.. one guy called in sick and the other has the day off". Why would their phones not be forwarded to the front so the main desk or floor could answer to inform customers so we don't waste our time? I asked if anyone would be in tomorrow (knowing one guy was sick)... he's like oh I don't know their schedules. Just try calling tomorrow. Completely unhelpful or uninformed staff. If I calm the gym, they can tell me when lifeguards are at the pool during hours etc. very poor service. Avoid this place. It's crazy how bad it's gotten. I'm not the only reviewer about this location and lack of service or customer service etiquette,

We adore MusicMakers Theatre - our daughter has been performing with the program for over 5 years…read more We love that it is family owned and operated and the personalized, flexible service we get from the administrators is wonderful. Micki, the theatre program director, is great with the kids and has been incredibly supportive of our daughter. The shows are always high quality and they typically have more than one cast which allows more kids the opportunity to have a part. They also accompany the shows with LIVE MUSIC which is pretty unusual for a children's theater program. Another benefit is the fact that the program draws kids from all over the area and our daughter has made a ton of friends who don't go to her school (she calls them her "theater friends"). Having another set of friends has really been a blessing with the ups and downs of middle school! We would recommend MusicMakers over and over again - it's fantastic!
