Best guitar store and Best sales associate
« on: February 26, 2012, 02:10:26 PM »
I know we all have bad experiences sa mga musical stores pero di naman lahat. May mga store din na gusto nating balik balikan kasi friendly mga associates nila at maganda ang store. Lagay lang ng name ng associate store and branch baka sakaling mabasa ng may-ari at I promote cya hehe :-D.

JB Trinoma staff was really friendly and most specially the store manager. There were times the manager chatted with us and gave us tips and tricks he used during his younger years. Hanggang ngayon ginagamit ko parin yung tip nya regarding sa strap locking using picks/old picks. Mainam din dun pag tinanong yung staff, they give proper responses unlike dun sa branch sa North Edsa na may times na parang di pinag iisipan ang sagot (peyborit nung ibang staff yung linyang "wala eh" kahit meron :-D). Accomodating naman din yung manager/in charge dun sa JB north edsa. Yung Audiophile sa north Edsa ayos din yung peeps. Di man kami laging dumadaan dun but everytime naman na dumaan kami at nagtanong they give us proper answers, responses and suggestions. Last year nung bumili ako ng guitar sa kanila they gave me several suggestions based on what I wanted. Very accomodating people :)

yup  I would also commend the Audiophile SM North EDSA staff especially Jerold. they are very accommodating. I have my guitars set up at that place always as a means of saying thanks for the help and advice they have been giving me. recently I got a Peavey Vypyr from the store, but since they misplaced the box, they had a new unit delivered in a couple of days and they contacted me ASAP once it hit the store. great job!

1.  Allen & Lowee of Yupangco Main Showroom.  Very helpful and accomodating.
2.  Vic Vargas of Audiophile MOA.  Mukha lang suplado pero mabait and very helpful din sa customers.

Hmm... wala naman nakalagay na local right?  :-D  Allow me to share this anyway so that local stores can learn and improve.

My favorite by far is Ishibashi Shibuya branch.  When you buy a guitar, they will change the strings to a new set of D'Addarios (your choice of gauge), setup the guitar, clean/condition the fretboard, clean all electrical contacts, and polish the body.  They even know that if you're taking the guitar on a plane, they will detune it to prevent neck issues (strings contract in cold cabin temp).  They take their time to do this even if the store is full of customers.  Then all new guitar purchases come with free tuner (Greco), fretboard cleaner, guitar polish, and a basic black Ernie Ball strap.  The Japanese attention to detail is really remarkable.  I'll gladly pay the premium to get this kind of service.

I hope that all local stores follow this model.  I can live without the freebies... its the service and knowledge that counts.  Seeing that all their staff are trained technicians, and that you are treated properly (hindi nagmamadali sa asikaso) even if the store is full gives the customer confidence to buy.

Sa local, I like Audiophile Eaton branch.  Because its an isolated (not much foot traffic) branch, I got to test any guitar I wanted without being rushed.

agree with this.. not just the shibuya branch but i guess every music store i've been to (shimamura, ishibashi, etc). i'd frequent the music stores in shinjuku, shibuya and ochanomizu when i was there.

share ko lang, kanina habang nagtitingin ako sa Lyric Harrizon Plaza, may pumasok na customer may tinatanong na item, na mukhang walang stock doon sa store. then sabi nung tindero "sir try nyo baka meron sa kabila, sa JB Music". hehe ngayon lang ako naka-encounter ng ganun, nagre-recommend sa kalaban na music store :-D
