Ordered a Guitar and they sent the wrong one and wouldn't do anything about it.
As soon as I opened the box I knew they had sent the wrong guitar. I took pictures and attempted to contact Reverb whom I bought it through and my order had since been deleted so there was no record of it and I can't talked to a person about this as they don't let you do that.
Their policy is to have you contact the seller first. So I did and Sam Ash personnel were very rude and wouldn't acknowledge that they sent the wrong product and wouldn't provide a return shipping label. I even talked to a manager and he was the worst. He just kept on saying the same thing over and over and wouldn't let me explain the situation.
I will never to business with them again and you shouldn't either. They just pawn off stuff they want to get rid of when you order something. I can't believe they are still in business with their attitude and business practices. You have been warned!
Do Not Buy from these crooks. Go to ebay where you have some protection against bad sellers.
User's recommendation: Do Not Buy from them

Verified Reviewer |Not able to compare to very expensive guitars that Sam Ash on Lee rd in Orlando said they had in stock
.I checked out two Sam ash websites in Orlando that are closest to me. Each site had different inventory and yet have option button for in stock.
Naturally I want to go to the store that says they have the guitars in stock like the Lee rd store in Orlando did, only to find out that the store doesn't have either of the guitars. Both guitars cost $4500 and both were listed as in stock , yet at the Colonial dr store in Orlando they didn't have one of the guitars in stock. Sam Ash says I have to buy the guitar and have it sent to the store with out me even trying it.
How am I to know how to choose on such an expensive decision. I had email with a few of them and all of them lack empathy and clarity...
User's recommendation: Do your best to make sure the story has the product they say is in stock , because they mean something totally different

Verified Reviewer |Damage to Bass Guitar during shipping SKU MKBCCE4BU
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
No inventory
This has happened three separate times the exact same thing. They advertised product as in stock you order the product they charge your account and then you wait for a shipping date email.
An email that you never get. And then when you finally reach out to contact them they tell you that your item is on backorder. Even though it was advertised as in stock on their website. Then you have to go to your bank and get a transaction list because Sam Ash will claim they did not charge your account but you had better believe that they did.
Then you will have to go in dispute that with your bank.
Depending upon how long ago it was the amount and many other factors you could be looking at thousands of your dollars being tied up with Sam Ash's incompetence. They are a trash company with trash customer service never order from Sam Ash Sam Ash sucks

Verified ReviewerAbsolutely abhorrent response, as far as accusing me of wrongdoing when an item I purchased online was listed as "Delivered" by the package service and never received by me.
After accusing me of receiving the equipment and trying to scam them they then claimed they misunderstood me and if I wasnt trying to get them to refund me then they didnt careI asked for assistance in explaining the situation to FedEx ie to please back up my story...
AS it happened, a SECOND package was delivered the same day ...not to me however. This one was shipped from a different music equipment firm.
When I reached out to them, they had no problem simply sending another one immediately. Sam Ash first off accused me of stealing, then refused any responsibility, instead stonewalling me to deal with FedEx....who was ...let me just tell you, NOT helpful either.

Verified ReviewerHorrible ORDERING and availability coordination
I haven't yet. I am though going to contact the Better Business Bureau since they have yet to reimburse money or cancel the order on an item they never had in the first place when I made my order!
Tried to buy two Michael Kelly Guitars - they took the order and my money then canceled but did not immediately return my money.
Attempted to buy a Boss SY-100 same thing only this time they did a back and forth and it was on the second order that they kept the money without fulfilling an order and their customer service (online chat) told me to call and I ended up on hold for 20 min before getting someone. Only to be told yeah its a glitch in our system but theres nothing we can do about it!

Verified ReviewerGuitar problem. I have been ignored for both my emails so far.
Sam Ash 'just' got back to me after my 3rd attempt to contact them.
On August 15th, 2020 I bought a Michael Kelly Hybrid '55 Guitar with Fishman Power Bridge.
I purchased it online from yourselves as an open box item for $610 + tax.
Since then it was not been used much, mainly at home..it still has the protective plastic on the pick-guard!
Anyway, 2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed an intermittent fault with the Fishman Power bridgesometimes it works, but mostly it does not!
I have little to complain about re. the guitar other than the Fishman bridge.
So, what can be done to correct this problem?
I clearly need to have it fixedits of no use for my needs as it is currently.
Please help rectify this problem ASAP.
Order number was; 15-0557*-66183
My details are;

I appreciate any help you can give me in this matter.
Thank you in anticipation.
