All Music Inc

I’ve been coming here since 1999. Got my first (of 3) epiphone casino guitars. They really want to all you a good product at not too steep of a price. Everyone that works here is great too. It’s my usual hang out during a slow day waiting for calls with the limousine company I own. Can’t say enough good things about them here

This is the spot I buy all my guitars and amps from. A real musician owns this place and it’s easy to see the difference in service and quality of the equipment! My kid also gets his school instrument here. The guitar player’s guitar shop for sure.

All Music and I have a long history. In 4^th grade, i rented my trumpet for band class here. In 6^th I got my first of my very own. In 7^th grade, when I picked up guitar, I got my first guitar here, and in 9^th grade, my second. It was then that my relationship with the store deteriorated. I bought a Gibson SG Special from the store.
While this kind of independant music store loses out to the big chains by usually being unable to offer competitive prices, I paid retail for my guitar (about $ 980). When I came to pick up the guitar they brought it out, along with a gig bag. Gibson guitars do not come with gig bags. They come with hardshell cases specifically made for the type of guitar they are sold with. Eventually we got them to give me the included gig bag instead of selling it to me for an additional $ 200, as if it was some sort of special treatment.
I also got my first guitar lessons here from a teacher named Brad who started out as a pretty good, young teacher. He was in his own band and gave me their demo CD which was cool. I wasn’t a big fan of their music but to each his own. To me I felt that if he had his own band it of course meant he was serious about the instrument.
A few months after starting lessons we started having a problem. He occasionally wouldn’t show up for lessons without warning us beforehand. Since we paid monthly for the lessons they would offer us «double lessons» to make up for it. When the time came that the final straw was drawn, we went to cancel the lessons when for the umteenth time he didn’t show and didn’t tell us, he of course showed up as the lesson was supposed to be ending and begged us to give him another chance. We said no and left. It was all so dramatic and unnecessary. I switched to private in-​home lessons and was able to salvage my love of the instrument before it died completely after such a ridiculous experience.
I will still go here occasionally if I need strings or picks and don’t have time to drive all the way to Guitar Center, but I will not be making any more large purchases at All Music after they tried to rip me off like that.

First of, I was refereed here by a guy that taught me everything i know about guitars and made me the musician i am today. I always shopped at Sam Ash in Carl Place, or online (even bought a pearl drum set from sweet water). I did not know of this place called «All Music «whenever he mentioned it and thought he was crazy how a place could be better than Sam Ash as Guitar Center and monster Music failed. I always loved Sam Ash’s commitment to friendly service, cleanliness, overall style of the large store, and the nice supply of instruments. I am a left-​handed guitarist who also plays drums among other instruments and the only reason I’m giving All Music a 4 and not a 5 is because i feel they do amazing at their strengths which is friendly service, and an amazing supply of guitars, even for me as a lefty, they had about 4 guitars in my 500 – 700 $ price range to try out while sam ash in stores only had 3 period. But my one only other gripe is the place is downstairs, and even though the carpet is vacuumed and all, i still feel the place needs a little more style. New carpet, nice glass in the cabinets, and a new paint job would make this place look less like someones amazing guitar collection in a basement and more like a store, but i actually dig how you can try everything out no sweat and there aren’t 4 guys breathing down your neck like at guitar center. Anyways, my first ever day was about a month ago at the shop and i think the guys name was Steve but I’m bad with names and I’m probably wrong, but u can see him in there youtube videos and he’s the guitar behind the counter with glasses and gray hair kinda skinny but not really i think. He helped me grab a new guitar amp for my band, knew my tutor right away, and basically treated me really well. set everything up for me to try out the amps, but no pressure on me, gave insight, and really helped me feel comfortable and actually made me sell myself on the amp by playing it instead of him selling it to me (I did buy the amp though btw). The next time i went it there, i went up to the counter and the best perk of the place is ordering any guitar you want that they don’t have in stores for the same price as the big boys, and i even saved 2 $ on the guitar by shopping with All Music and i didn’t have to pay shipping as the place is close and u have the awesome pick up at the store requirement which might be bad for some. But i asked for just calling him steve and he wasn’t in which really stunk, cause he’s the heart and soul of the place, he’s not an owner cause i watched the youtube videos, but he sure deserves to be one because he got me into loving electric guitar not just my lovely acoustics that i dropped 1k on stuff and I’m only 18… Sorry «Steve» but thats all for a while and thx bring your business here !

I was looking to buy my first electric guitar and after looking at some of the big chains, small stores and everything in between, found All Music. The entrance is located between to stores in a strip mall. The store is located downstairs.
I made a few trip and here and spent alot of time trying different guitars and amps. They could not have been friendlier and more helpful, and most of all, patient. Their prices are competitive with the larger stores and their selection is fantastic.

Always friendly and helpful, I never get the feeling like their trying to sell me something. I bought a mic there a while back and a clip was missing. They gave me a new one free of charge.
If you need a set up or repair done, Randy’s your go-​to guy. Always does a quality job in a short amount of time.

If you have any issues with the staff… Speak with the owner… He’s a stand up guy! I brought up my issue with him regarding false advertising claim and he was happy to honor my request no questions asked! Even offered me great deals on other items! I’m once again a happy customer! ;)

This is, by far, the best place to buy an electric guitar on Long Island.
I bought my third guitar there this weekend. The staff do not work on commissions; there’s no pressure, and they’re friendly and knowledgeable. I played the guitar one day, slept on it, and came back the next day. The selection is tremendous, unlike the chains that have many copies of the same guitar hanging on the walls.
It’s a small shop in a huge strip mall, down a rickety flight of stairs, but well worth finding.
