Merle’s Music

I feel the need to review this place again, this time on their repair section, on behalf of a late friend of mine. He spent 200 dollars on parts and labor for a guitar bridge problem he was having. They put non-​functioning saddles (from a completely different bridge) on the bridge which rendered it useless. They charged him for said parts, for labor for said parts, and when confronted about it, offered to repair it for more money. The repair man here is a butcher. You’re better off doing repairs yourself with a backhoe, jack hammer, and dynamite. Beware this place. Butcher my friend’s guitar? Sell me a lemon vintage amp, saying it’s all original, but when I get home and check it out, it’s been outfitted with car speakers? I reserve my accusations for those who deserve it; these people are CROOKS. SWINDLERS. Do business with them at your own risk.

Good selection, bad employees and worse prices. This place is the only store for many miles that sells instruments and they take full advantage of it. Their staff is about all about commission; they will try every trick in the book to sell things that you don’t need. Do yourself a favor-​make the trip to Jeff City for musical gear needs. This place is the pits.
