Lakewood Music Center

This location is now Lakewood Music & Arts. The current Unilocal page is:

I went there to get strings. They gave me a 2 for 1 and that’s usually a good thing. They treated me like a customer who had money and was going to leave some there.
Yeah, I could have saved .38 cents on Amazon but why support the already flourishing jungle when you can help a local business stay in BUSINESS AND CONTRIBUTE to our local economy? I think out side the «box with a smile»

The store mostly specializes in instrument rentals, but carries some guitars which are usually independent brands such as Seagull and Blueridge, that you won’t find at a Guitar Center.
The workers at the store are kind, but the owner watched me like a hawk as I tried out one of the guitars. Geez man I’m not gonna smash it.
I asked for a deal on a Blueridge guitar because on Amazon’s price was $ 900, versus the $ 1200 they were asking for at the store. I would have done $ 1000 to meet in the middle (and to buy local), but they were adamant about keeping the $ 1200. Sad, the store is just shooting themselves in the foot over $ 200 bucks. Buying online is riskier than at the store, but if there’s a good online return policy, then why not?
Definitely check online before buying from this store!

Quikly switched out my son’s trumphet for servicing. Very nice… However, he didn’t like the fact he still has to practice, HA!
