These guys are great, the best music store ever. They did a fantastic job cleaning my system for the first time, and I was impressed by their speed, fairness, and efficiency. The staff are also very cool to deal with. I will definitely return to Big Apple Music and highly recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you, Big Apple Music, for the excellent service.

Pretty disappointed with my recent set up. When dropping off my guitar, employee wasn't really listening to my concerns about a potential issue with the nut causing buzzing. He told me it'd be ready in 2 days. No call from Big Apple. I called them and they had forgotten to call me. Went to pick up my guitar. Neck still has the same amount of relief, there is still buzzing, they didn't give me any feedback on the potential issue I specifically asked them to check. I basically paid $77 for a glorified string change. Absolute rip off and poor job. If I just wanted a string change I'd have done it myself.
