Bought my first fender squire bullet here in 95,i t was red. I immediately returned it for a black one. also one of the tuning pegs was out of line. I was picky even as a beginner, I also attended 3 lessons here which helped me by letting me watch a pro guitarist and then seeing how he approached playing and hos movements. Quality gear!

Very helpful local music store. They go out of their way to get you what you need. My clarinet playing child (as well as my wife) and my flute playing child have been in here often for music, supplies or repairs. It really helps to have a local music store in our community!

I'm teaching myself to play guitar. I brought it to Wakefield music to have it tuned. D check out the guitar to see if there were any issues and tuned then showed me how to tune it. He told me about stings. He happily gave me a great guitar education. Thanks D!
