In 2002 I met Tim at B N B Music Store in Rehoboth. He listened patiently as I gave him my wishes…read moreand needs for my son, Jason Hurd. Being a singer in the past, I too had the love of music implanted in my soul. Jason was 24 years old and showed an extreme interest in learning the guitar as he quietly watched my friend Bob play in our living room in Angola Beach in Lewes, DE. Tim sold me his first acoustic guitar as a Christmas gift that year. Later I purchased lessons from Tim. It seemed Jason just took off with it! Little did we know that 11 years later Jason Hurd would be an artist and proud owner of his own cd, "A Better World", self written, copy written and recorded. His second cd has been written and ready to be recorded as well. Tim's influence has helped in more ways than he realizes. Because of his passion and love of the art he has lead Jason in the same direction. Thank you to Tim for his love, understanding and devotion to music! B N B Music is fortunate to have him as their employee. May they always cherish him! May we all always pay it forward! Greatfully, Julia Vecchioni-Ferguson Milford,DE

I'm from California and was looking for a specific model of a guitar that this Guitar Center…read morelocation happened to have in stock. I sent a message through the GC website to this location to get some more information on the guitar since it was hard to tell exactly what the condition of the guitar was based on the photos. Their sales manager, Ben, emailed me back the same day and provided very detailed information about the condition of the guitar. He even included additional photos that were very clear and he indicated in the photos where there were any cosmetic imperfections on the guitar. Although I did not end up purchasing the guitar, I was extremely happy with Ben's customer service. He really went above and beyond. Based on my experience, I would definitely consider a used gear purchase from this Guitar Center location in the future.

I walked into Guitar Center with a LTD which I bought about 3 years ago. Right now it goes for…read morearound $1,700 give or take. I figured they'd offer me somewhere close to what it's worth now (Used it still sell for about $1,200). They tried to give me $500 for it. I wanted this $700 PRS so bad that I said screw it and swapped it (They took it for $700, woohoo) for the PRS. I knew I could've easily gotten over a grand for it if I wanted to wait a few months online if I waited a few months for someone to even offer me something for it), but the LTD was just too thick and didn't feel right in my hands. I brought the PRS home and it was perfect. Easily the best Guitar I've played in my life. That said, they were complete asses and ripoffs. I understand trying to get a lower price on what you're buying if you can, but they tried to give me almost a quarter of what it's worth used, in which they eventually got the better deal ONLY because I wanted this guitar so badly and didn't want to wait. I hated dealing with the staff, they were terrible and I was probably in there for 2 hours standing there with my guitar. They did have some decent pricing instrument wise though all things considered. I'll never think of selling them anything again, but I may go in for a new guitar if I have the money or a setup. Still, if I can get something from somewhere else like Sweetwater, I'm definitely going that route.

The description online stated wheels would be available to throw on but we weren't allowed to use the wheels. Paid in advance and was not able to get a refund so we stayed for the pinch pottery class. At the end of the class I was told I could come back in two weeks to pick up my pieces and they would be glazed for me. The pieces were never glazed when I went back and she tried to charge me another $45 to glaze them. My pieces were abandoned there because of all the up charges and fees.

When I got the guitar, there were no surprises. The man knows his business and is very passionate about music. He is a small business, so I dealt directly with him, which is very comforting. This is a shop for players that know exactly what they want. If that's you, then dealing with CMC is the place to be.

CMC Guitars is one of the best kept secrets as far as guitar/amp stores go. I have been buying from…read moreSteve(owner) for years. He is always top notch in service and knowledge of the gear. As far as the gear goes... all top notch stuff... we're talking custom shop Charvels, Jackson, Fender Custom Shop, McNaught, PRS, etc. Just walking into the showroom and your mouth will drop to the floor and GAS(Gear Acquisition Syndrome) will ensue. On top of that, he always seems to have the latest gear shown at the NAMM shows just a bit earlier than other retailers so that's always a plus. If you're looking for a store that's heads up about the Sam Ash's and Guitar Centers, then go to CMC Guitars. You won't be disappointed.

I was…read moreamazed that Guitar Man carries the full lineup of Mooer effects pedals (about 93 distinct models) including all their newest, high end offerings. This is the only guitar store in the DC/VA/MD area that carries more than just a sampling of Mooer pedals which are just beginning to gain high respect amongst musicians. Try out the Preamp Live pedal to see what I mean. Their selection of high quality guitar straps is also about the best I've seen anywhere other than in Nashville guitar stores. They seem to carry the full line up of Levy's straps as well as other brands of similar quality. I was also really impressed with their selection of high end guitar picks. If you're looking for a used guitars they have a wide range to choose from whether you are a beginner or a working musician. If you're shopping for a beginners guitar ask one of their employees for advice on what they would buy given a fixed budget. Because they have guitar techs and real musicians working here, they can give good advice. You can find a nice entry level used guitar here pretty easily. I came across several.
