I never thought I'll get such a horrible service and attitude. Would never step into this shop and certainly discourage anyone from visiting it.Lack of professionalism and client orientation.Driven by money and greed.Overprice and not professional work. That's what I experienced, and I learned my lesson to trust my guts when, in the beginning of the discussion about the work that should be done, I heard the comment. I asked to defret my bass and asked how much it would cost. The answer was 150$ ( another place I asked $80-90, but I could not do it immediately. Also, the location was less convenient for me), Leon asked $150 for defreting , because he will have to remove the string !!!! Of course, you have to remove strings. It's part of the job. When I checked the bass, which I just got while checking it at Leon's shop, I realized that I also have to change the electronics and pickups. I asked Leon if he could do all the jobs before November 1 because this is when I'm flying and need the bass way way before that. He agreed.I gave him a bass on Sept 5th. I got electronics a month later on Oct 3rd. Nothing was done by that time. The bass was just lying there.When we were discussing defretting, he said he would refill the empty frets groves with wood and asked me what I want dark or light wood. I asked for dark. In the end, he felt it with an epoxy and did a sloppy job. Part of the frets aren't filled with epoxy.Electronic weren't salder properly and when I explained what the problem was and asked him to resolved it he replied that he spend already so much time on my bass and can't fix it immediately and I have to wait until the middle of next week, knowing that I'm flying in the begging of the week and can't pick it up because of my work. On top of that, the setup of the bass was horrible. The action was at maxim height it can be. When I mentioned that, he replied that he didn't want the string to touch the fretboard !!! What kind of noncensence? On top of that, he accused me of being dishonest with him about the date I need my bass. I still don't understand how.I paid him in full what he asked me when we had a deal, fulfilling my part of the deal. I paid $380, and he reminded me that it was $390( which I forgot) .I was so frastreted and didn't want to deal with this greedy man.Until the end, I was keeping hope in my heart that he at least would ask to pardon him and reduce the price, but there was no sorry, let's fix it or something. He doesn't care.

I called to see about getting my electric guitar repaired, the tech was a nice guy and offered to look at it for $35. When I went in the owner was a total j*** and demanded $150 just to look at it. He was completely unhelpful and had a very dark energy about him. I do not recommend this place.

I brought in an acoustic bass that needed a new preamp, and an Ovation guitar that needed some TLC. They did a great job with both! It's a very nice music store with a personal touch, and I highly recommend it.

Lovely little music shop, they might not have had the baritone ukulele strings I was looking for but I certainly wasn't sent home empty-handed, either! After a nice gentleman patiently took the time to look through boxes of single packs of strings for a good 15 minutes, he found exactly the one I needed- ( and the only one in the store!) to replace to get me by until he gets more baritone ukulele string sets into his shop. He charged an honest rate for it and I left a happy customer, even though I didn't necessarily leave with h what I originally came for. 10/10 definitely recommend!

I had an 1897 banjo that needed some work to be playable. No question, there's no one else I'd trust with it. Leon obviously takes joy in his work and my banjo looks and plays great.

Music Junction is the only place I will go anymore for any kind of instrument need or questions. The owner is extremely nice and helpful. Very knowledgeable people. They have repaired several instruments of mine, guitar, banjo, violin, resonator guitars and mandolins. I have used other places in Alachua County and the surrounding area. No one even comes close to the work they do. They can make something look like it was never broken. I have also taken lessons with them. Very nice pace and instructions, I learned a lot and now play with a band. Best music store around, period.
