        Service

        A great place for both newbie musicians and seasoned artists, looking for select, choice gear and instruments!

        The staff were welcoming and friendly, willing to chat about music and catering to specific needs. If you're in the Forest Lake area, you should definitely check them out!

        Overall
        Poor customer service

        This place is a joke. I've bought 2 expensive guitars there over the past year, and I never even got a thanks from them. Then, when I had an issue with one of the guitars they blew it off and said "That's the way it's supposed to be". I've played guitar for over 20 years and I know a bad set up when I see one! Guitar Center is way better at helping you pick out your guitar and with follow up......and they're a huge corporation, where you wouldn't expect good customer service. Bottom like: The Music Connection (at least the one in Flake), and Mike their guitar tech......is a JOKE!
