What a great guitar shop. Cool amps to be found and my favorite set up artist Mike! I've brought Gibsons and Fenders to Mike and he intimated them and gets the action perfect every time. I've used Weezer's tech before and in my opinion Mike does a better job. The action is perfect. I HIGHLY recommend taking your guitars to Pete's Music for all your service needs!

I took my guitar into Pete's for a nut replacement and set up. The tech did an amazing job on both. The new nut improved the sustain, and the action and intonation are perfect!

Mike did an awesome job helping me restore an 85 Japan Stratocaster. He installed a loaded pick guard, new bridge / tremolo, performed intonation and setup. Guitar plays better than it ever did. Super impressed with his workmanship and extremely pleased with the restore.

Pete's music was very helpful in helping my son get his trumpet fixed. Mr. Pete himself was amazing and assisted me in which old records to buy for my dad. I highly recommend because the customer service was outstanding!

I took my Les Paul-Epiphone for some upgrades to Petes in Menifee. I had him (Mike) replace 2 pickups, the nut, the tuning keys, the bridge tail piece set, the pickup selector switch and the knobs. I went from chrome to gold for the pickups and bridge set. The job was done earlier than it was supposed to be and when I saw my guitar, oh my god. What a thing of beauty.

But the real surprise happened when i got it home and hooked it up and played it. It plays WAY better than I could have imagined. Really. The work was top notch. Best guitar work I have ever found. They can consider me a life long customer. I'll never buy anything form any other shop. Thank you Mike and thank you Pete's Music. This was done at the Menifee shop. I want to give them 10 stars but 5 is the highest here. So, just know that there are 10 stars selected.

This place is just too good be true. They live up to everything you could ask for from a local music store. Helpful, pleasant and make you feel welcome. They refurbished a sax, set up action on my electric guitar and changed strings on my acoustic and regardless of who helped me I was blown away with the service. These guys deserve 10 stars!

In a era when local music shops are hard to find this one is a gem. Great service, great staff, fair prices. Their guitar techs are top notch and extremely reasonable. A+!

Great shop! This is the ONLY shop in this area that you should bring your guitars in to get a set-up. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. My guitar (and bass) have never felt/played better, EVER!

In the words of my husband, "Pete's music kicks ass!" I was looking for a store to set up my husbands first guitar. This place was awesome. They took great care of his guitar and he has not stopped talking about it!

They seemed nice enough, but it turns out they either didn't know about violins or weren't honest. We wanted an intermediate violin and they ended up selling us a beginner's violin that they said was intermediate. The price we paid for a used instrument was almost as much as some of that brand sells new. Now that we have learned more it turns out we could have bought a similar violin for about half what we paid. Make sure you already know your instruments and prices before you walk through the door.

Definitely my favorite music shop, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, great service and advice, and a decent selection of gear at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is welcoming, and I always feel at home at Pete's. Always come here before Guitar Center, support local business!

I got my acoustic guitar restrung and everyone here was very welcoming. I don't know too much about what strings to get so they recommended one that wasn't took expensive and sounds and feels good. The turnaround time was practically an hour but I ended it having to pick it up the next day. Price is resonable, guitar looks and sounds great, and they tune it when you pick it up.

Came in on a Friday evening, Carson was more than helpful and willing to help me out on my guitar string! Bought my guitar from a big box store with a warranty and made it difficult to help me fix the string. Called Pete's and told me to bring it right on in! Carson was very kind and helpful! Look forward to buying next guitar at Pete's! Thanks for keeping community safe, they definitely followed covid safety guidelines 10/10 would recommend!

I love this store. Everyone has always been very helpful to my son and his instruments trials. We have rented numerous instruments from them while my son finds the right one. Carson was super sweet and extremely helpful. He took the time to show my son how to replace the strings on his guitar. He was very patient and made showed him step by step. I will definitely continue to go there.

Big thanks to Michael at Pete's Music. I brought my old 79' Ibanez that hadn't been played in 20 or so years in to the store and they fixed it right up. The service and customer service is awesome. They kept me up to date every step of the way and came in far less than the estimate and it sounds great. I recommend these guys over the big store any day of the week. Highly recommend! Thanks again.

I've brought my Carvin in several times for a little adjustment but this time, the "whole set up" on the guitar as well as a new volume pot and I have been playing it for hours every day ever since and not only does my guitar play great, it's sounds great! Mike the Luthier at Petes Music does excellent work and you can trust him to work on your guitar, thanks again Mike!

I have been coming to Pete's Music since I was a little kid for lessons and gear. Today I called to see if they could repair a bass with active pickups that a friend had gifted to me. I spoke with Mike, and he assured me with all the confidence you want to hear from someone who is going to be operating on your gear that he absolutely could. So I brought the bass in after work and Mike was ready to get started right then and there.

He had a pretty good idea just from our brief phone conversation where to find the problem, and sure enough there it was. Before my very eyes, he had the issue fixed, the bass cleaned, and the whole thing buttoned back up within 20 minutes. He is a top-notch fellow, extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and Pete's Music is a local staple and an excellent place for all your music needs. Thanks, Mike!

Mike at Pete's music is the BEST EVER! We've been going to Pete's for a month now a every single time he does something he is a perfectionist with his work! We bought a guitar there for my son 18th birthday and my son broke it by accidentally stepping on the body of it. We thought there was no way it could be fix, but Mike did and it looks better than before! He saved my son from being devastated. I can't express enough how awesome Mike is! I would recommend him to anyone who needs guitar repairs, strings replaced etc.

Been a customer for a number of years at the old Anaheim store, which has since closed, and now a customer at the Temecula store. I appreciate the friendly, helpful service. Recently I called two other area stores that have in house repair shops in order to track down some parts I needed. One couldn't get them since they were not a dealer for my instrument and they referred me to another.

The second said they could get me the parts I needed and promised to call me back. I called again and reminded them and still nobody got back to me. Here's where it got better for me, quick! I contacted Pete's in Menifee and first, they were a dealer for the brand of instrument I needed parts for, second they were happy to order them and I got a call when the parts had come in. Plus, the prices were super fair!

I think that Pete's for band instrument repair in the Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar and Sun City/Menifee area is a little known secret that won't be a secret for long. After talking to the repair tech I discovered that if you live in Temecula or Menifee and have a child taking band you should probably see them to rent a band instrument. They have a large inventory of well maintained brass and woodwinds for rental.

I discovered Pete's Music completely accidentally- random- unplanned. Just passing by and noticed a music store and I needed some strings anyway. Guitar Center is a Zoo. Smaller stores are better for some purposes. Customer service. Plus Plus Plus. 5***** Selection is what I accepted. Price. Amazing. Next time I'm in the area of this store, I'm getting some strings again. Nice people to say hello to. I really like this store and location ( not so much location, I'm 80 miles away, ) b I'm in San Diego. Second visit. A+

I have been going to this music store for years, and I will continue giving them my business because they are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Trevor was awesome today tuning my banjo for me, and Stefan was wonderful trying to help us figure out what was wrong with my son's keyboard. They took a lot of time to help us, and I took even more of their time asking questions about instrument rentals for my son. I highly recommend this store because of the personalized service they offer their customers!
