They canceled more sessions with our daughter, for one reason or another, than she had lessons. Make ups for missed lesson are unnecessarily complex and difficult to achieve. Very expensive and not worth the aggravation of the place, their flaky instructors, unreliable scheduling, and poor management. Go elsewhere.

This place is the best. The friendly knowledgeable atmosphere is top notch…read more After having trouble with my guitar and bringing to a different shop(which I won't name). The guitar tech at other shop kept trying to fix the electronics in my guitar, It kept failing. 3 different times I brought it into the other shop, and each time the tech there said it was something different. So after the 4th time, something went wrong with the electronics, and $150 later, I decided to find another shop. Enter Centerstage Music. I met Greg. he was friendly and helpful. He took the guitar apart right in front of me and said let check out the wiring, it might not need anything(He was trying to save me money on electronics, instead of trying to sell them me). I stopped him and explained after getting the run around from the other guy I just wanted to replace the electronics just so I didn't have to worry about them, plus it was an upgrade. He understood. In less than 18 hours he texted me it was ready to pick up. It was priced more than fair. He had me plug into one of the many cabinets that he had available and made sure I was happy with the voicing of the pickups. Let me tell you this thing sounds amazing. Not only are will they work on your gear, but they are mainly a rehearsal space and recording studio. I'm, not the typical guy who writes reviews ever(I wouldn't waste my time writing a negative one about the last place), I don't why, I just felt the need to write this one. I'm glad I took 5 minutes out of my day to do so. Thanks, Greg. Happy Jackson Guitar owner.

I don't need the latest and greatest..I need tools that work,,and at the right price. Every now and then I might need something fixed or modified, they do that ,too..and all at a reasonable price. In a world of big box stores...where the guy at the counter knows less than you,... Center Stage is refreshing. Though the place is a little small, it is packed to the ceiling with inventory. If you are unsure if he has it..just call. Highly recommended for people who know their stuff, ............if you want Big Smiles from people who don't play gigs go elsewhere.

Student rental experience is a hassle. There's a reason this store is not on the list of rental…read moreplaces for some of the area's schools. Consistent with other reviews, issues with the instrument are always the fault of the careless student and can never be a defect in manufacturing or normal wear and tear. Moreover, the repair I paid for didn't solve the problem and an instrument switch was out of the question. When you turn in the instrument, there is a hard sell for you to either continue the rental, buy it outright or buy something else. You can't simply return the instrument without a sales pitch that needs to be rebuffed. That having been said the store does have a lot of instruments and music equipment for sale, does do repairs, is located right on Sunrise Highway and they seem to be connected in the professional musician industry. I just wish it was run better.
