I decided to have it fixed for my husbands birthday. Kevin was very attentive and professional. He had to make a new bridge that he made by hand in his shop. I was worried about how it would look but you literaly cant tell its a new bridge! I was amazed at how it turned out. Kevin was wonderful, the repair was done perfectly, quickly and at a very reasonable price. My husband is so happy to have his guitar back. I highly recommend Kevin!

He failed to mention critical problems it had before charging me for expensive work. When I asked for a refund, he comes off as unprofessional and very entitled. Instead of standing by his work, providing customer service, or having good business sense, he threatens to sue me. Lost a costumer. Musical instruments are not toys, they require precise work and knowledge that I'm afraid Jason does not possess.

Just call the shop and tell the owner what you need to be done and he is accommodating. I was able to get my violin back the next day. The prices are reasonable. I would return here for violin supplies like strings, rosin, and polish.

I'm especially impressed by Martin in Guitars. As a fledgling guitarist, he was extremely patient and knowledgeable in helping me select an instrument (several actually) over multiple store visits. Their return policy and willingness to ensure your complete satisfaction is outstanding. I will return.

We've been prowling the aisles of Guitar Center Canton for the better part of three decades --…read morethirty years of strings, amps, and that sweet tang of new gear smell -- and not once have they dropped the ball. This week's episode was no exception. Enter Alex in guitar repair: a man who doesn't just fix guitars -- he communes with them. Friendly, professional, and grinning like someone who's already lived three lives on stage, he's the sort of tech who could restring your instrument while telling war stories from the road and still have time to hand you a piece of rock' n' roll wisdom you didn't know you needed. He took our son's 12-string Breedlove and not only gave it new strings and perfect intonation but also injected it with some intangible mojo. Advice flowed like bourbon in a backstage greenroom -- tips he picked up when he was starting, plus the sort of tricks you only earn from years in the trenches. And then there's Martin, Executive Sales & Training Manager, a stalwart presence in these hallowed halls of gear. A handshake from Martin is like plugging into a well-worn amp -- warm, familiar, and humming with the promise of something great about to happen. From the moment we walked in, it was instant service, no fuss -- the kind of attention you usually have to beg for in this cold, transactional world. Instead, we were treated like returning royalty, which, after nearly thirty years of loyalty, feels exactly right. P.S. If you want to find the real players -- the road-tested pros who've ridden the highs and lows of the circuit -- you come here. These are the salt-of-the-earth musicians, the ones who've seen the lights go up and down a thousand times and are still here, passing the torch to the next generation.

He loved it but suddenly it stopped working. What to do? Shipping is expensive and hazardous. I found Bartsonics on Craigslist a few blocks from the customer. A local to check it out, perfect! The customer had told me that the only repair place there quoted him a six month wait to even look at the amp. He didn't know about Bartsonics. The next day, yes, the next day, not six months later, Bartsonics had checked the unit out and a verdict was in. The amp was perfect. No issues at all. The customer was the issue. That solved it for me. If not for Bartsonics I was on the hook for everything, big return shipping, whatever, it was on me. As it was, I was in the clear. They saved me. Thank you Bartsonics.

Convenient parking directly across the street. The center is one block from Main Street, in downtown Ann Arbor. Classes are 30 mins, they bill you for the month upfront and I can see why.
