Had a pleasant experience at Legit Music today! I think that’s how you spell it. A young man named Gauge helped me, he was extremely professional, answered all of my questions, and was quick to diagnose the problems with my electric guitar. Not to mention he was pretty easy on the eyes! I would recommend this guitar store to anyone! Fantastic service, plus it smells great! Like wood and strings! I’m one satisfied guitar player :)

I bought my bass from them six seven years ago (back in high school) and they were very very helpful in picking one. I got mine on I believe the 30-year anniversary and I got a discount. They are very awesome and they have a very very good selection. 🙂

If I could give Lidgett more stars, I would. Unmatched selection of acoustic guitars in the area. The only thing better than their selection is their customer service. Rob is super knowledgeable and made this couch player feel just as important as a gigging musician. I’ll definitely recommend Lidgett to others!

The friendliest knowledgeable people running the BEST musical instrument shop in town! The LARGEST guitar selection to choose from too! They have everytang, & if they dont have it in stock, theyll order it for ya no problem! Highly recommend stopping in at least once a week to get strings, picks, cables, or just check out their AWESOME inventories! GREAT shop!

Great service, communication, shipping and product. Ordered a D18E from Lidgett after looking at about 30 of them on various sites.. Sent them a few emails on a Sunday asking a few questions and had responses almost immediately. . Had the guitar out the next day, sent me the tracking number and updates got it the day after XMAS!.

Simply the best bass trade experience that I have ever had! Robs communication with me throughout the process was lightning fast and extremely helpful. The bass arrived quickly, and was packaged exceptionally well. There was an issue with the pickguard (where it was bowing a bit), and Rob coordinated everything to get me a replacement. Thank you so much for all of your help, and I would recommend Lidgett Music anyone who is interested in getting a professional quality instrument with top tier customer service!

Ive been going here for over a decade and they care about the customer just as much as they care about the music. Its a great atmosphere with A LOT of cool guitars. There is a reason they are one of the oldest businesses around the area. Rob is a great guy and super knowledgeable.

Ben was very nice and professional... I bought 2 guitars from him for my fiance. The prices are not bad at all for what youre getting. I would highly recommend anyone that wants to purchase a music instrument or get one fixed.

Within the last year I have bought a great guitar and a great amp from Rob. He is very knowledgeable and is great to talk to. Whether you make a purchase that day or not Rob is never anything less than friendly and welcoming. When you do find that guitar or amp that you just cant walk away from you will never find a better deal than at Lidgett. Always goes above and beyond.

Wow. Go check this place out if you are interested in buying a guitar/bass or any gear. This place is absolutely amazing. Rob was incredibly polite, professional, and personable.

Bought a guitar over the internet there to find out the specifications on the website were incorrect. It was an honest mistake.Shipped the guitar back and got a refund but was charged the shipping. A normal way of business, but in this case it was not my mistake and I did not feel right with it.After a call with them and explaining my case, they came forward and refunded me the shipping as well. The right thing to do and they did it. 5 stars for being a considerate and friendly business. Thanks for keeping the faith!

We bought our teenage daughter an electric guitar and used amp here. No hard sales pitch, they steer you in the right direction and then you can sit on their comfy couches and play around on the guitars. I really like this approach. The selection was awesome from beginner to expert.

I have been buying guitars from Robby and Sean for 10 years. I have received nothing other than Superior customer service. They are educated in the products they sell and the history behind them. I will continue to only buy from my local shop because their attention to detail and professionalism is far greater than any Nationwide chain can give you. If you have been playing for years or your kid wants their first guitar these guys will take care of you and help you make an investment for the future not just sell you something.

The people at Lidgett Music go above and beyond. They go out of their way to order stuff for you, when you need specific things that might not be in stock. However - They have a lot of merchandise available in stock, high-quality gear!

Lidgett is awesome and Rob is the the best. Have bought 3 guitars and many accessories and Rob has always given me a good deal and great customer service which makes me keep coming back. Rob and Lidgett have earned all of my business. Before heading out to Guitar Center for your music needs, go see Rob at Lidgett first as he will treat you right!

This is one of the best places for guitars in the Omaha metro. Rob is the best. If you need someone who really knows guitars, and is willing to give you a really fair deal, this is the place.

Review №56

They always take great care of me. Huge guitar selection. They have done away with a lot of percussion stuff simply I think bc it wasnt selling well. Im still able to order drum supplys and he has my sticks, But Ive also taken some guitars in there and he always does a great job with VERY fair prices on repairs and he has a nice selection of harmonicas which is my favorite part. Its nice to have a solid music shop in Council Bluffs. Thanks for doing what you do, guys!

Review №59

Listen here. Lots of selection but it doesnt matter because nothing is for sale. Walked in and asked for a pick to try some guitars and the guy gave me a runaround about how customers are not allowed to touch any inventory without supervision. Wanted to know how much money I made, what i did, how long Ive played for. Didnt know it took that much info to borrow a pick. Pick-less, he took me to the lower end guitars and started talking to me about this and that. I told him what i was interested in, and he kept ignoring my pleas to simply PLAY ONE. I tried looking at a tag and he guided my hand away from it. Is this a daycare? I was dressed properly, very forward, had my wallet out. All I wanted was a pick and 10 minutes. I was ready to drop $2k on a Martin. They did not want my business. If you want to attract any new customers you might want to loosen up the grip on your inventory and let someone try something before buying. Its like walking onto a car lot and you have to buy on sight only. That is the absolute last time I walk through those doors. What a crock.Edit : the following Saturday I spent $2,360 on A Martin HD28V at Dietze music. Cash. Stick it, Lidgett.

Lidgett Music is easily among the finest guitar shops in America. Their owner and staff are amongst the most honest, knowledgeable, and friendly people in the music sales industry. The finest guitars and amplifiers in my professional collection (Collings, Bourgeois, Paul Reed Smith, Fender, Suhr, Gretsch, Goodsell) came from Lidgett Music. Whether you are a touring professional or buying for a young beginner, you simply cant beat Lidgett!

THIS IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT A BIG BOX STORE!My first experience with Lidgett was back in 2000. I was a young kid with a poor guitar, needed strings, and alot more that I wasnt aware of.I walked in, bought the strings for maybe $6 bucks, Thats all I paid that day, when I left I had learned more about my guitar then I truely wanted to know.The strings where installed, neck set, everything best it could be on a pawn shop guitar.Since then I developed from a kid with no guitar skills, to a grown man that still has basically no guitar skills.Stop in, its a one on one interaction.They enjoy talking about your guitar as much as the ones they are selling...Thanks again guys.You give me no reason to go anywhere else.......

Ive bought a few guitars and amps over the years not a whole lot, but every time i come to lidgetts they not only remember my name they treat me with a way that makes me feel welcome and let me try any gear they have for as long as i want, they even tell ya, keep on playin we love it when our customers jam it brings music to our store and sells gear for us just play, they never complain about my volume or me bringing my own gear to try with some thing they have, and they make buying gear posible, what ever it takes to get you what you want, these guys (sean and rob ) are great guys to deal with, trust my review youll be glad you stopped to see them, good shopping
