Great Experience highly recommend Sweetwater

"I called sweetwater with the intention to get an opinion on the fender tidepool blue color.I spoke to a salesman named Tim and he was very informative and just easy to talk to and laid back.He then sent some pictures to my email I explained that I would prefer a deeper blue color .Then he sent me a picture of a lake placid blue Strat.To make a long story short I ended up purchasing that guitar.I had no intention of buying nor was I pressured sales wise to make a decision.What made up my mind was the chill way I was dealt with and Tim took the time just to talk with me and made me feel like an important customer.The shipping was flawless my beautiful strat came in 2 days no charge for shipping.It was packed perfectly inside 2 boxes down to the case with no movement whatsoever inside.The guitar is beautiful and thankful I dealt with such a great salesperson and company.They made this such a memorable experience.Thanks again Tim and the sweetwater crew you guys are far above anyone with your customer service and overall experience!"

Professional & Trustworthy

" Sweetwater has been my go-to music vendor for some time. Unmatched customer service, great selection and fast, well packaged shipping. I have been playing guitar for 40+ years and have shopped all kinds of music stores, big and small. Sweetwater is at the top of the business. They get it right the first time and go the extra mile to make sure I'm satisfied with my purchases. I have never reached this level of trust with any other music store.
I highly recommend Sweetwater to any and all musicians from beginner to pro. Finding a business you can trust is a real blessing in today's world.
Play on

My experience was poor, hopefully your will be better.

"Been a customer of Sweetwater for many years, even lived in Ft. Wayne for a while. Both times purchasing by mail I received the incorrect item. The first time a couple of years ago the correct drum shell was sent and I returned the incorrect one. No additional cost besides the packing, waiting and verifying. Also proving the incorrect one involved me taking pictures and just a hassle. Now a couple of years later I purchase a guitar. They appear to have a process where you can select a serial number of a specific guitar. I attempted to change a couple of times and talked to customer service and over a few days expected a specific guitar and nothing changed. Got the wrong guitar. Of course they called and if the one I wanted was still available I could try again. But, just sick and tired of the hassle (the days of checking with customer service to verify the correct serial number). I wasn't going to play any more games. Also, disappointed with the 55 point inspection. It could be an issue with the vendor, but wasn't expecting the saddle (bone) to be in such poor shape. Lucky that nothing is horrible, but in future will buy local."
