Mike let us shop/roam around the store despite it being closed (Google said otherwise but make sure to call first to check on store hours. We visited before 8 PM). Mike was friendly and helpful towards my fiancé in choosing his first guitar. The pricing was fair and he even threw in a free guitar pick. He was conversational and the service was good - support your locals and visit this store, its awesome and you won’t regret it!!

Mike is the best.The only place I would bring my fender to for a setup by Joe.Just picked up my guitar and I am so happy that I forgot Mike's name when I picked it up.So many jobs and so many names.If you want great service and great guitar work go to these guys.You won't be dissatisfied.Man my fender sounds great .Best place in NJ. I made a mistake.They are 5 stars

Ok when you spend half the time showing me what you have in stock and the other half the time just getting to know a new customer by just talking, you have gold!. Old school type place with everything i needed. What more can you ask for? In the market for an acoustic electric in the near future and absolutely getting it there! He knew it was a future purchase and still let me play a bunch. Had to be one of the nicest people i ever met. Thank you for your patience and you time!

Super helpful and went out of his way to explain everything to me and was not in a rush. Didn't try to sell me anything more than I needed. I will be bringing all of my business here.

Scott Brame

Excellent selection of used musical instruments and accessories. Great customer service

Anthony Fuller

Amazing place got my first trumpet here Mike is such a nice guy and he let us look around for My Trumpet

Jason Livingston

The guy Mike is down to earth. This is a cozy shop. I never feel pressured to buy and the staff is very informative. Always a pleasure to come here when I get a few extra bucks. Better than the big chains - a more personal experience. They give lessons for many instruments and all the students seem to be happy when coming and going (a sign of good teachers!) Highly recommended

Great shop. Joe took the time to help me with my first 4 string bass purchase. Walked away with a sweet Fender Jazz and accessories to get me started for reasonable cost. Took just a few hours to figure it all out and have been playing to my favorite tunes ever since.

Bob Mazzo

Been going there for over 20 years. A very reliable crew. Instrument repairs, sales, lessons, etc. Fairly priced.

Been dealing with Sweetest Sounds for over 30 years, to the point it's family!!! Every possible idea that I came up with for an improvement especially on my bass guitars was delivered by these guys working with Michael straight on has developed into an everlasting relationship!!!! Rock On ❤️

Ken Ackerman

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Once again, got the 60 watt Peavey. Great experience!!

New to guitar. Joe and Mike helped get me set up. Extremely knowledgable. Mike is a master craftsman at repairs and restringing. He made my old Fender sound better than new, and hooked me up with a fantastic new Ibanez Les Paul. Would never take my instruments anywhere else. Great guys and fair prices.

Eric Schiwe

I have only been going here for a couple months based on a recommendation from a friend, but I have to tell you that the dude Joe there really knows his stuff, saved me from getting ripped off on a couple guitars with some great inspections, quick set ups, super knowledgeable, has no problem answering my questions. They have a guy that works on amps too, got my super lead tip top. They pretty much do it all or at least can point you in the right direction. I highly recommend Sweetest Sounds! A+!

William Venner

I've been coming to Sweetest Sounds since the 1980's. I will not let anyone else touch my guitars for setups, installs and repairs. Joe and Mike are very knowledgeable people and you cant go wrong with their expertise and advice. Great guys!

Dennis Gilgallon

Great local music store. Good range of both new and used instruments. Repair services and Lessons available for all instruments and voice

Adel Soliman

I brought in my broken guitar on a Wednesday afternoon. They were instantly able to figure out what was wrong and explained some other near things to me. They were able to fix it and clean up the guitar with a set up in two days, I was able to pick it up by friday afternoon. Prices not too bad. 25$ to replace my input jack and 55$ for the set up. Would go again.

This is my go to spot when I need any sort of work done on my equipment. The team combined, has over 100 years of knowledge when it comes to instruments, modifications, and just overall general information. For the beginner to the 20+ year player, you're guaranteed to learn something new. Any time I get a new/used guitar, I take it to Joe right away for a setup and advice on whether or not the purchase, if a used piece, is worth it. A perfect example is a purchase I made last year, one of those newer Mexican 50's strats. I loved the way it played, but jeez those pickups were incredibly noisey. I took it Joe and told him what I wanted: to retain the essence of the Stratocaster; that twang, the Knopfler sound, some Gilmour, little Clapton, throw in some Hendrix... every popular strat tone, but I wanted it to be noiseless, something that single coil pickups are notoriously known for, especially the "lower end" Mexican models (this can be debated since these models have really stepped up their QC game and can easily rival American Stratocasters). Right away, Joe knew exactly what to recommend, Dimarzio pickups. I've always been a Seymour Duncan guy when it came to aftermarket PUs, but I trust Joe, so I went with his selection and he went to work. I told him no rush, and a week or two later my guitar was ready... ZERO REGRETS. I was floored. Everything I was looking for and completely noiseless, but not lacking in tonal or sonic response. In store selection for instruments is great. It's a revolving door of used gear, so much so, that you'd have to go in a few times a week to see if they received a vintage piece, otherwise you might miss out on it. If new guitars are more your speed, ask, if they don't have it they can most likely they can order it for you at fair market pricing. Bottom line, yes, the big box music stores carry A LOT of inventory, but they lack interpersonal skills. I find myself hanging out for an hour or so just discussing the industry, gear, new bands, old bands, restaurants, anything and everything. Again, this is something that the big box retailers lack. The rush to find you any instrument, get it in your hands, swipe your card, and get you out the door. This. Doesn't. Happen. Here. They care about the customer, and that's why you'll return.

Come here since I was a kid! It was where I bought my first drum set and got lessons. Mike and the gang here supported me and my band for years as we grew old. Amazing prices and inventory. This is a staple in the community!

Daniel Minda

Been going here for some time now , they do such an excellent job here setting guitars up and fixing any problem or issue your having with your instrument , joe is extremely knowledgeable and skilled , I regularly recommend this store to all my friends who play instruments

Frank Mottola

Great place to get musical instruments at good prices. Also great place to get lessons on all instruments. The teachers are really good,especially on guitar and piano.

Raja Sonnylal

I've visited a few music stores and this is my new go to when it comes to anything music. Owner runs this place with integrity and honesty. Wide selection of guitars and keyboards and they give music lessons.

Priscilla Lazo

Have been coming here since I was a kid, now and then. Very ethical and moral owners who will go out of their way to make sure you are content with your purchase. Keep up the great work!

Mike

Setups are the Best going around here I never knew the difference between set ups until I went from my normal place to sweetest sounds the sound is completely different in a better way than most places they put extreme effort into making the guitar or bass sound the best I can't believe the difference I always thought set ups were set ups and everything was done the same until I came here and the difference is absolutely noticeable in the detail that they take in working on everything that they do. My guitar sounded 100% better after they did their set up and it is 1000 times better compared to other set ups I have done and gotten at other shops this place is absolutely the best around not just for set ups but for purchases and customer service Joe is as knowledgeable a person that I have come across in the instrument business great place won't go to anyone else

Mac Xavier
