Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

by yomtvraps12 , Aug 29 '08
Well I would like to say that Sweetwater.com is one big advertising blown-up picture trying to portray themselves as music123 or musiciansfriend or zzounds (you know one of the bigger online retialers) But in reality they are nothing more than an ...

People can change - So can businesses!! Update: 7/09

by marindavid , Mar 26 '07
There are literally hundreds of well known and oft used on line stores dealing in musical instruments and accessories. I have purchased guitars, harmonicas, ukuleles and assorted other items from several of them and have, by-in-large, been pleased with ...

by moby09 , Feb 28 '08
Fantastic! I was completely thrilled with their huge selection. I was a firm believer in www.MusiciansFriend.com, but when they didn't have a particular item I was looking for, a Google search led me to Sweetwater.com. The customer service was the ...

Shopping with Sweetwater is Sweeeeeeet!

I have a nephew who is suddenly getting into music in a big way. His recent birthday left me with a challenge. What do I buy a 20 year old who wants to be a musician? Luckily, he told me exactly what he needed. A keyboard case. A keyboard case? I had the ...

I've just gotten turned on to Sweetwater through a friend of mine. This has to be the greatest thing on earth for musicians! It doesn't matter if you need simple instruction books or strings, top of the line guitars and amps on up to drums. I mean man, ...

DISSATISFIED!
by furrybut1 ,May 04 '07
Wow these guys hit me good. Bought a gig bag hardshell bass case and a pedal. Hardcase was sold as new for $125, received a used and damaged hard case. I can't believe that. Was also sent the pedal in a different shipment and was sent to my billing address instead of my shipping address. The pedal was lost. Now I have a used hardshell case, no pedal and a show to play tomorrow night. WATCH OUT FOR THESE GUYS!

Very Disappointing, won't buy from again
by silverdemon72 ,Dec 19 '08
The customer service is superb, the shipping time on my order was very fast. But none of this mattered when i opened the package to find 2 humbuckers that had apparently been used or demo'd, finger prints all over them and even some scratches. I have read other reviews since that say these people send 2nd hand junk and now i know 1st hand that they do...beware...

horrible
by builmeup ,Oct 16 '07
This is my second reveiw posted after placing two orders with sweet water. This company has been calling my cell phone and my parents home. I did not list my parents home phone number on my order so I assume they looked them up on the internet. I hope they read this reveiw and stop harassing me. I did nothing wrong as a customer. They are the ones at fault and need to make this up to me.

by jwood01New Member ,Dec 30 '09
On line site stated they had Epiphone Les Paul guitar case in stock at $69.99, a few days later received email stating case was not in stock and wouldn't be for another 30 days. Customer service had good follow up but they shoudn't use teaser prices to draw you to site if they don't have item.

They are great. I ordered a synthesizer on Saturday with my personal check; the instrument arrived at my home the following Wednesday! It was in perfect condition and with a couple of complimentary Sweet Tarts and Fireball candies.
What more can you ask? Friendly sales personnel and speedy response.

I ordered a Roland V-Tour Electronic Drum set from them. Stephen, my sales rep, was great. Stephen always returned emails very promptly with an email or phone call. When he was out, the sales assistant replied to my email. Sweetwater delivered on time and accurate. My experience with Sweetwater was great. I highly recommend them.

Great overall experience at Sweetwater - no complaints!
by wcparris ,Jun 02 '09
I'll walk down the list here:
My item (a new case for my bass guitar) was delivered on time and it was free shipping which a lot of these sites do not do.
I got the item I asked for - it was in good condition also (no scratches, dents).
Customer service I didn't have to deal with, although they did email me to confirm the item was shipped which I like.
Overall I am happy - I got a great deal on my guitar case and the shipping was free.  I'd definitely shop here again.

My on-line order was followed by a phone call from Sweetwater. They just confirmed the order and asked if there was anything else I might be considering to purchase in the future. I mentioned a wireless microphone system and they were able to give me relevant information to consider. There was no pressure to change or add to my order. They shipped the order right away and I received it within the time frame projected.

Sweetwater is always top of the line for service. The other music stores can't touch them. Super fast shipping and a great section of different brands. They also always leave you a message to inform you that your order has shipped and thank you for your order!!!!!!

Excellent Customer service and they had the best price for what I was looking for...which is unusual given the nature of every store having the same price...throw in free shipping and this was a great experience. Have purchased from them in the past and will continue to do so. Highly recommended!!
