This December, I bought a stunning meteorite ring for my partner from them & they were just as excited about it as I was. Plus, I got a really amazing backstory to alongside my new purchase. I tell everyone I meet about them because the shop is just so neat! My friend of 10 years came into town mid-late last year and I brought her in. She ended up leaving with some amazing oddities (like a baby bat skull! ) & she has boasted about wanting to return asap. They really are the nicest guys you'll meet, with even more amazing stories! If you're in town, or just looking for a cool place to check out, B&J Guitar & Amps is the place to go. You'll 100% not regret it.

Not only did he charge me more than the price he quoted that we had agreed upon, he didn't adjust the springs in the tremolo bridge at all, leaving it uneven (depressed toward the butt end, and in a lopsided manner) and unable to hold consistent string tension. I'm not convinced that he actually knows how to do a tremolo bridge setup. And to top it all off, when he did the fret leveling, he never bothered to tape the fingerboard, and left scuffs and scratches everywhere! I hear he's great with acoustic guitars, but DO NOT TAKE YOUR HIGH-END ELECTRIC GUITAR TO HIM. Honestly, even Guitar Center would have been several steps up.

Upon entry, I was halfway greeted by 2 employees standing at the register visiting with each other: I proceeded to walk towards the drum area which was completely VOID of employee presence. Since the sticks are behind the counter, I stood at the counter for about 5 minutes: Not a single employee from the front register, now 3, approached me. (Yes, I intentionally did NOT go out of my way to FLAG DOWN an employee.) I then proceeded to call TARPLEY MUSIC while standing at this counter. I had time to ask if they had the sticks I was looking for, BE PUT ON HOLD, and then have my question answered. I walked all the way from the back drum area to the front door, passing THREE employees...& again, not a single one offered help, assistance, or thanks: zero. Unfortunately, I wish I could say this was a strange anomaly. But, as mentioned above...this has become "Classic Guitar Center". BIG name. Itty-bitty customer service.
