Good price and service

Reasonable price and, frankly, the only major vendor who had the product in stock. (I didn't check Amazon.) The Chat user-interface was pretty good and I got the results that I wanted in a professional and efficient manner. (Way to go Justin K.)

Very disappointed

Very disappointed. Used Grade 1 doesn’t mean scratched or missing parts. The GK-3 pick up was obviously used, tape applied and still stuck to underside of the pickup. Several parts for the pick up were also missing. Not even sure I can use it with out these parts. Hopefully the GR-55 is in better shape otherwise I’ll be using the 45 day Garentee and returning the whole unit. This absolutely should have been at the very least discounted at least moving the pickup portion to half price or less.

I totally screwed up trying to buy a guitar online (NOT the website’s fault) and was helped by Daylin Sperry who solved it all on the phone while I was driving (safely! 😀).

Musicians Friend us my PREFERRED outlet fir my music equipment needs. I found Rebecca H., their #StellarGearTech a few purchases ago when I bought my Charvel Jim Root Pro-Mod San Dimas. She helped me identify what I was looking for & hunt down the guitar within their GuitarCenter network. It was seamless. She sold me for Life. I came back a few weeks later for a smaller Vox Modeling amp, same deal. Now this purchase - back to Rebecca. I could have went elsewhere, NOT A CHANCE. Musicians Friend & Rebecca H., MY Gear / Sales Engineer for Life!

You should be seeing the full amount but as you make payments it won't be charging you interest. Give us a call at 866-498-7882 and we can confirm if everything went through correctly for you.

This is my first purchase after having a terrible online experience on a used guitar at a competitor. This was far superior even though the price was a little more. I received notification immediately of my purchase and shipping info same day and my shipping was faster than the other guy at about the same price even though I'm having it shipped to my home this time versus a store. Couldn't be happier with Musician's friend other than it's not clear on whether there is a case included, so............ now I'm assuming probably not which makes the price maybe a tad higher than the competition? If not for that this experience would be a straight up five stars.
