7/05/23 BEST MUSIC STORE in the VALLEY❣️You can get any type of instrument, accessories, repairs, and lessons too!Dale is someone I can't say enough good things about! He has over 25+ years of experience with guitars & other instruments. I met Dale Dec.2020,when he restored a 1987 Alvarez electric guitar, my then 16 yr. grandson found on a trash heap. I posted a video of Dale playing the Alvarez after he finished the restoration. He even hand-made replacement plate covers for the electrical accesses that were missing on the guitar back. (36 yr old OEM covers are rare & no replacement covers are made) I was gob-stopped at the value the Alvarez is now worth after he beautiful work. Since then, I have taken in several other guitars for re-stringing & maintenance, as well as getting advice on accessories and/or other instruments. My spoiled grandkids are always asking for more. He is always patient & polite. He has even waited for me to arrive to pick up guitars after closing recently.I have to drive to Turlock from Oakdale, but I will continue to use Dale's as my only music store & recommend everyone to check them out. They sell all types of instruments & accessories, plus give music lessons & the very best advice!!?Thank you, Dale!?

I don't live in Turlock but needed my guitar & bass fixed. I called Guitar Center (bad idea to begin with) and they had zero techs on staff. So I called Dale's and of course he was able to fix them. He also didn't charge anything for the repairs so I picked up a few other things I needed. Will definitely take on the drive again if I need anything. 10/10

Bought a super nice smaller size Guitar at a great reduced price and Dale even bought my old ones.... I stayed in there and chatted with Dale for 1 hour about music and life. What a great place and conversation made my day as well walking out with new guitar.

Funny that this popped up on here. I can't truly attest to the quality of the business within. I've seen and am aware of it's location, and should I ever had the need to visit a store of this type, Dale's would have been the first store I visited. However, through a recent encounter via Facebook, I was blocked for asking a question because a post of theirs didn't line up with the end result. It had to do with a contest where they were giving away 3 pairs of tickets and only had 2 winners. I asked about the other pair, and they said it was given in pairs of 3. I simply suggested that the post should have been worded differently and thanked them for responding to my post. Not long after I was blocked by the page and the comments between us were deleted. Petty stuff, but leaves little interest in ever visiting the store.

Five stars is not enough for this man or his business. Dale is above and beyond knowledgeable in his craft. The way he relates to the kids and his customers is phenomenal. This man donates his time, his money, and more importantly his true love of music to anyone willing to learn. If you were thinking about buying any type of instrument or getting your child any type of music lessons, this is a place to go hands-down. Thank you Dale Falkenburg for all you do for our community.

Everytime I go in its all positivity. I ask for what I need and they are informed and have what I need. I see 1 star reviews and I don't understand. Maybe some people are put off by his constantly positive attitude and small talk but I enjoy.

I approve of this place dale is a very compassionate guy which you won't get that from anyone else. I do not regret my purchase I do not regret anything. If you are wondering what makes this place special? Just a tiny bit you walk in through those doors you will sense alot of positive energy with ppl like minded about their love and appreciation for music. I'm glad to discover this place it's nothing but love and positive vibes I use to go to another music store long time I always got yelled at for no reason so fake is the best highly recommend

Love Dale's! Got a great deal on two kid's guitars last Christmas. My two oldest have been taking lessons there for about eight months and love it. Their teacher, Danni (spelling?) is great and makes learning fun. Dale himself is great to deal with and always takes time to interact with my children. Dale's is a great place to buy instruments and get lessons. Highly recommend!

Great service, they know their guitars. Are not pushy at all, always willing to answer questions. Large selection of guitars over 300 guitars on-site. I was able to find a Flying V style guitar that most guitar stores including guitar center in Modesto do not have. Look forward to purchasing my next guitar there. They also are very experienced in Floyd Rose, and have guitar repair shop.

Came to buy some guitar equipment, Dale was very welcoming. He gave us an awesome deal on a Crate amp that had just been sitting there for 2 years, guess it was meant to be ours!
