As a serious buyer and collector of vintage guitars, it's a shame to encounter such an…read moreunprofessional approach to business. Unfortunately, the owner Rick is unscrupulous at best. I purchased a guitar advertised at nearly $10,000.00. I was also interested in another high-value instrument. They took almost a week to ship the '66 Strat I purchased, and then, without warning, decided to refund my purchase due to "fraud." In return, asking for a wire instead. Spoiler alert, Rick lied. Of course there's no fraud on my AMEX, if there were he would have been notified upon the purchase. If there were, I would have been notified. He made it all up so he could negotiate a deal with newer terms. And then, like the brat he is, he had his employee Nate Kieser deliver the fake news. What a joke, and welcome to the World today; a place where a grown man decides to change his mind well after a deal was consummated. You've been warned, this clown will play games. Rick, this is your opportunity to be a man and honor the deal we made. I'll amend this review if you stick to the terms of our original agreement, if not, buyers beware.

I had acquired a guitar from a family member that was in decent shape, but needed some…read morerefurbishing. After looking around on Yelp, I came across this business which seemed promising. The young clerk at the business figured the body of the guitar needed a realignment, new strings, and some other TLC. I got an estimate which seemed fair so I left it in the care of this shop and waited for a call or email. After a few weeks of not hearing back, I shot the shop an email and the owner was nice enough to not only be expedient in their response, but to assure me that the guitar was ready to pick up. They did such an incredible job bringing it back to life that I bought a guitar strap and some other accessories to go along with it. The prices here are actually REALLY reasonable and I would argue comparable if not *better* than bigger retailers like Guitar Center. Really solid selection of product to choose from considering the size of the shop and, like I said, they are very hands on which was refreshing. I'll be sure to come back in the future as I'm ready to get back into building out my home studio again.

The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, and never pushy to get you to buy something. From them I have purchased 2 guitars, an amp, several effects pedals, I also took a few guitar lessons, and had them upgrade the hardware on my archtop guitar. Which included upgrading to a set of dimarzio pickups, a new bigsby and pots and wiring. The work turned out perfectly. If you're looking for friendly expert advice and good prices Bay Tunes Guitars is where you should be going. As I said I will drive past other guitar shops in the Annapolis/Edgewater area to go to Bay Tunes Guitars to get recommendations on gear, try out gear and make my purchases. You should as well.

Have you ever met someone and instantly knew they were about to become a huge part of your family?…read more Tom Bonvegna responded to an online inquiry I had about a Baby Grand piano that I wanted to surprise my husband with while he was deployed. My husband had played for years and since this was our first home purchase, I really wanted to make that happen. Tom, a Vietnam Vet and hero, reached out to me, heard my story and desire, and made it his goal to help us get a beautiful piano delivered. Our budget was ridiculously tight, and Tom made it happen. I researched everywhere, from estate sales, other online marketplace forums, about 15 different piano stores (some local, some not). After all of the research I had done (not knowing much about pianos beforehand), I learned that unless you REALLY know your stuff, you needed to go through a reputable company. If a piano wasn't tuned for the duration of its life, it could look pretty, but it wouldn't be very functional. I almost made a deal with another company that I would have regretted... and then Tom called and from that moment, I had an absolute peace about working with him. He was not a "salesman," but a true gentleman. Tom went the extra mile by a lot!!! There was one piano we thought would work, and it was even bigger than my original plan. After Tom looked at the pictures of my home (and staircase), we decided to wait for another piano to become available. There was a little bit of time that went by where I didn't think we were going to find it, and then... the call came. Tom found the most beautiful Yamaha, ebony, baby grand that plays incredibly! My husband was completely surprised and has loved at (1) having a baby grand piano delivered in his home without him there, (2) that I stayed within my designated "muahahaha" budget, and (3) that we found such an incredible person to work with. The piano delivery service was also excellent! Such care, such professionalism, and physical strength too. It's been four and one-half months and my home has been filled with music ever since. Thank you Jason's Music Center for being such a wonderful company to work with...and thank you to Tom for really making this happen.

Also, the piano movers were so professional and really took care of each piano during take down and set up. Thank you again Steve!
