I have been using American Musical Supplies for years!

I have been using American Musical Supply for quite a number of years. They are excellent, prices are competitive, delivery is prompt, returns are hassle free and contacting customer service has always been a pleasant experience. The interest-free payment plan options have been in force for years, way before other vendors had started to introduce them, and doesn't involve financing by taking out an associated credit card. It allowed me to purchase quality instruments that I would not normally have the budget to pay for in full up front. I also appreciated how you could select the exact individual finish variation & weight of expensive model guitars, through referenced photos posted on the website.

My most recent purchase has been of the new generation Boss RC-500 looper. Instead of saving up for it, I can instead use the time to record backing tracks on it while making monthly payments, so I will be all ready for Summer gigging!

The one thing which could use improvement is the search function (or is it more the cataloging system?) on the AMS website. Sometimes when looking for a specific item, (with the exception of the popular big name brand, familiar musical items everyone carries), it often falls short in searches, leaving you to look through endless multiple pages of listed items. I'm certain I have on occasion in the past given up looking for a certain musical accessory or part, only to find it instantly on another site. Other than that, AMS is an absolutely excellent place to purchase your musical items.

Well I ordered a Mackie all-in-one…

Well I ordered a Mackie all-in-one music system for karaoke during the fall or summer of 2025. I had it for a month and realize I wasn't going to be able to make the next payment and since but never opened it and the job that I bought it for decided they didn't want to have karaoke after all, so I went ahead and shipped backthe unopened Mackie All in one music system back to you at American Musical Supply and I never did receive a refund. Why?

AMS gave me a very good deal and fast shipping!

AMS gave me a very good deal on a new Gibson and they worked hard to ship it to me very quickly - overnight. They all had the right attitude and were very professional. I had one shipping glitch but it was so complicated that I wouldn't hold it against them. I'll definately do buisness with them in the future!

AMS is the best online music store!!!

Thanks to Dylan and AMS for hooking me up with my dream guitar!!! (Gibson 70s Custom Les Paul).
I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of musical gear from AMS over the past 2 years or so, and the no-interest payment plans have made it possible to buy merchandise which I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford.
Always fast shipping and friendly service. Thanks again AMS!!!

Well Done

Well! Just to start I'll like to start by saying thank you! 90% of my gear I got it from Ams payment plans are a great option to those who can afford to pay
High end equipment, new or open box
It's always a win and can't thank costumer support enough.

Below-average Customer Service

First and, likely, last time ordering from AMS. Ordered a pair of studio monitors (Mackie CR45 BT) and was sent identical model except w/o BT connectivity (Mackie CR45). My receipt even indicates that I ordered and paid for the BT model.

Contacted customer support. Guy I spoke with was wholly unhelpful. Basically said "We have it priced wrong on our website. The model you paid for is the non-BT model. If you want the BT model, that will be an additional $30. You want to set up a return and reorder the BT model for the additional $30?"

Maybe the item was priced wrong on the website, I don't know, but I feel like the right thing to do would be to honor the listed price, make the correction to the website going forward, and not give off the scammy bait and switch vibes over $30.
