| - I live in North Phoenix and have occasionally shopped here since it was A-Z Music. About a year ago I got back into guitar and have been taking lessons here. I've purchased a number of accessories, an amp, and had several of my guitars set-up at Allegro.
They have a nice selection of guitars and other instruments. Their focus seems to be on student to intermediate players. The guitar selection consists of mostly student to mid-range guitars. They do take consignments, so once in awhile you'll walk in and find something special on the wall. The nice part is they professionally set up every guitar they sell, so when you buy a guitar the action is ready to go and playable.
I've had a number of guitars set up here, everything from my lower end Danelectros to my higher end Les Paul, Strat, and Gretsch. The set-ups have been perfect. Their tech seems to care and take pride in his work. There's been a couple of guitar I had serviced there that had sticker residue or something on them. I received those guitars back perfectly clean and polished without having to ask.
I'm taking lessons from Brian, he's primarily a classical guitar instructor, although my primary focus at the moment is electric. He's been great, he's a very good teacher, and my playing has improved dramatically over the past year. Lessons are very reasonably priced.
The staff has always been friendly to me and I've gotten to know them a bit. The main guys are accomplished working musicians who know their stuff. I've asked for advice many times and never been steered wrong.
