If you are looking for a Taylor or Martin guitar, you will not need to shop anywhere else! The…read moreprices are comparable to other shops, and the guitar selection is optimal! What stands out is the customer service. You will not find better assistance than what the Tobias gentlemen will give you here! You are never pressured to buy anything. It's quite the opposite, they help you find out which guitar is a fit for you! I stopped here to help a friend choose a guitar, and I ended up going home with a Tobias exclusive Taylor American Dream! There is a nice selection of Martin's here as well, but the Taylor room feels like you are in Valhalla! If you like Taylor guitars, you will not be able to resist trying out a guitar in this room! If you are just shopping and are new to guitars, stop in. Mr Tobias will be more than happy to answer anything you throw at him! The assistant, Taylor, is very friendly and can help as well! I highly recommend stopping in on your guitar journey!

I went in with my friend and his kid to check out microphones around 5:20 pm on August 14th. I'm wearing a green shirt and glasses. Please pull your footage. We started at the keyboards then made our way to the microphones. When we were looking for about 5 mins reviewing options. This blonde-haired Guitar Center "Employee" came to the iMac station area turned on a backup battery and immediately it started beeping. He was asked by my friend if there was anywhere else we could look at microphones and he gave a disgusting answer. Then if you pull up the footage from your side, you'll see the child visibly grab his head because of the loud sound. The dude went to the front desk and never returned. I can say so many DISGUSTING things about why this happened and why he would behave like that and not respond to a sensory issue occurring with a child. When confronting staff they did not give a rat's hairy asssssss. I DON'T CARE. Look at this

My all time favorite guitar guru Max Dombrowksi owns La Grange's beloved Stone Grove Guitar Shop…read more Located right off the tracks a few blocks from downtown La Grange. This is my other fav guitar shop to go and hang out and talk shop. Varied types of vintage and new guitars hang there for sale. But the most business comes from people taking music lessons. Max has 4 lesson rooms that are nearly full each and every day. He has a great group of instructors for guitar, bass, drum, and piano. They also do the most setups that I've ever seen - except for maybe Guitarcenter. Separately, Max is a gifted multi instrumentalist, a former Eagle Scout, and is one of the founders of a great band called Twin Jones. Sort of Sloan meets the Beatles and Pink Floyd.

Years ago, I came across this RMS website by a recommendation of this musician I worked with…read more Then, I would see RMS name pop up on TheGearPage.net regarding great luthier work in Chicagoland. So, when my guitars were due for some maintenance, I decided to take them to RMS. I needed a setup on a Strat, and nut replacement on a Les Paul. Bob and I briefly discussed what I was trying to do via email, and set up an appointment date. What a pleasant and captivating individual he was. When I went there, we talked about what I liked and didn't like about my instruments. After that, he began to examine the guitars and gave me what he thought was good and not so good on the guitars. He wrote down my issues and made suggestions. He asked me if his suggestions would work for me every step of the way. As someone said previously, I felt like I was talking to a guru. He was pointing out issues I didn't realize I had. As for the nut replacement on the Les Paul... After he examined the instrument, he said he might be able to "fix" the issue without having to replace the nut. (Gibson cut the high E slot too close to the edge of the fretboard). A week later, I go see Bob again to pick up my guitars. He went over every little detail of work that he'd done on both instruments. He asked me to check for the things he'd mentioned, and wanted to make sure I was happy with his work. The nut that he "squeezed" on the Les Paul was perfect. I couldn't even tell it was worked on. My Strat doesn't choke up when I bend up high. Action on both guitars are excellent, and he must have sprinkled some magic RMS dust, because they even sound better, haha. There, we sat and talked about his band, my band, current music, the Beatles, Van Halen, gigs we've had, and stuff for a while. I feel like I'm a better person for having met him. I've been playing the guitar for about 19 years, and I never once had a "professional" setup. Now I know why there are professionals that offer this service, and why people pay for this wonderful craft. If you've never had a setup, you owe it to yourself to get it professionally set up. And, who better to do it than Bob? I high recommend RMS service. He'll change your life.
