Great Gear Advisor!

The gear advisor I worked with was on his game, having first hand experience with the product I was calling about, quick access to various product locations, quick access to Gibson detailed descriptions and knowledge of all discounts I had available. I hope he stays with Musicians Friend for a long time. I will try to contact him the next time I want to make a purchase and/or talk about gear.

Great selection and a website

Great selection and a well developed and easy to navigate web site and mobile app. The entire process is easy. My rep, Delaney Brown is most helpful in the purchasing process and follows up to make sure all purchases meet expectations.

Great place to order your gear

Great customer service

I just want to say that the rep I spoke too was great. He answered all my questions and offered advice on my choice. He also convinced me about the warranty available, something I never do. Give him credit for that as well. This is the second guitar I have purchased from Musicians Friend. I will continue to come back

Great sound; great value!

Easy ordering, great price. Item arrived and the packaging was excellent. Plugged my '77 Tele into it, and I was impressed. Still new to me, still playing with the dials and sounds. Best thing, I'm happy.

Where is my order??

Please cancel my order. It's been close to a month and I haven't received any information from you about when it's coming or if it's coming. You really should brush up on your customer relations.
