I went into House of Guitars and as I walked in I was greeted and asked how I could be helped. Being friendly, I told the man (ROBERT) that I was looking for a mid range acoustic guitar. He asked me what my budget was and I told him $600, at which point he pointed out that I cant buy a midrange guitar for that and Im actually looking for a low end guitar. Seriously!?
That right there sealed the deal that I was never going to buy from or return to House of Guitars.
So he was taking me around spitting numbers at me and showing me guitars that he claimed I could not afford. I saw they had many Michael Kay guitars and I had not heard much about them. So when I asked if Michael Kay guitars are good guitars he looked at me and laughed saying how I could never afford one.
But still, I continued to look. When I asked if he carried any Yamaha guitars, he laughed at me! What kind of business is this!?
At this point I was fed up with him, and I wanted to know his name. I asked him and he said his name was Robert and put out his hand, so by instinct I shook his hand and said my name. He blew me off and laughed as if he could care less who I am.
I cant believe this place still exists! There are nothing but negative reviews on this place all claiming the same thing. They are RUDE! If I was new to playing guitar and I went in there, I wouldn't be playing right now.
This place is a overpriced mom and pop shop who is run by guitar snobs who think your nothing if you cant afford to buy a $1200 guitar.
Ill take my business to Alamo Music. Ive never had a bad experience with them. They are always very friendly and more than helpful with anything. Go talk to Dino he wont let you down.
Cons: Everything, Rude Guitar Snobs.
