Geddy's a good dude and does a good job setting up guitars. Took two acoustics that needed its…read moreaction brought down. One of them had an impossibly high action and I wasn't sure he'd be able to shave the saddle down enough. But he did an excellent job on both and they play beautifully. They were intonated perfectly and without and fret buzz. Price was good--better than what a setup would have cost at Sweetwater, for example, and I liked the fact he's local and can do the setup once I receive the guitar since the shipment process itself can alter how a guitar is set up. Also, as a side note, he also makes candles on the side and will give you a sample.

Excellent service, pricing, and work! I got both an electric and an acoustic set up by Geddy and…read morestill love playing them several months later! I will definitely be going back.

About 15 years ago, bought a gibson goldtop from one of matt's workers at the shop. Got home to…read moreLong Island and had to adjust trussrod for the humidity. Found out truss rod didn't work?. Called Matt and he said it was my problem because I lived near the beach?. Truss rod not functional, how is that my problem?. Accused me of having buyer's remorse?. Finally returned the guitar but it left a bad taste in my mouth. He's great with name players, but he's really an A hole!.

Do not send in your guitar if you want it back any time soon…read more Quoted me 1 week for a repair at ~$125. I patiently called every week for 4 weeks to get a status update. Every week the story was the same "we're still working on it, call back next week." At week 5 the owner had the audacity to double the initial quote and tell me "I need you to commit to the price or get this guitar out of my store right away." It was clearly the first time he even looked at it. I understand quotes changing. I understand timelines changing. I understand that it's NYC and there's limited space in the shop. What I don't understand is how you can let a guitar sit for 5 weeks and then have an attitude and a ton of urgency about pickup. Save your money and your time and go elsewhere.

I feel bad for not stopping in here even once after passing this place a thousand times, at least…read more I had an issue with the C note on my Alto sax and was in no mood to go to Sam Ash with the rt. 17 traffic and all so I stopped in here just before they were closing today(a Saturday). John could not have been more engaging, honest, sincere and downright cool. No big timing here. No waiting on employees who are practicing on their instruments while you wander around like a fool. As soon as I walked in - 'Hey can I help you?' I like that. I will be back and I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wants excellent customer service. And yes I took the sax home mins later, good as new. A+++

I had my Les Paul neck warp a little bit and the action dropped on it causing some issues. ....I…read morewent here, spoke to John and expected the bad news that this would be a $600+ fix but instead, he was upfront, honest, and told me the fix was minor and with new strings, complete set up and truss rod adjustment, cost under $50.00 ....Extremely happy with this local shop. Music Gallery has gained a new customer for all of my guitar needs.

Kim was extremely accommodating and responsive and then all the staff really went above and beyond to make sure the set up/clean up was taken care of.

It's only been a few months and my daughter already cant wait for her next birthday highly recommend them!!

My rating is and is based on service and my 4 yr old taking classes. We started with a groupon and…read moremy daughter loved it. She takes the Pre-K 4 class which consists of ballet and tap....to be exact....ballet starts promptly at 1115am and 1150am they do tap and ends at 12pm. I kinda wish it was a bit longer and use a full hour but I guess being a 4 yr old maybe 45 min is enough. My daughter has fun with it so that's all that matters. The parking is off street....so bring 50 cents for the meters. I don't have much of a problem looking for parking.....so no complaints there. What's nice is if we miss a class then we can make it up on Fridays....we call and ask to make sure first if they can accommodate her. It's at 545p-630p so perfect after work for me. Will who works at the front desk is very friendly. The tuition can be placed on your credit card and can be automated every month. Kim the owner is very nice and answers all questions. They also offer parents night out from 5p-9p on weekends...this happens once in awhile....looks like it's monthly so far..it's $25 per child. Also, we can't watch the kids the entire time HOWEVER.....there's a curtain and it's hard to see BUT they do have a TV and alternate the rooms on saturdays....so every other sat I can watch my daughter in her class.....They really need to get another TV or maybe split the screens to watch both classes.
