Experiences With Musician's Friend and Music 123?

I've bought ALOT of things from MF and they've been 100% reliable as a retailer.

 

I have bought from both. MF definitely has the quickest shipping by far. Better customer service as well.

 

I've never bought anything from Music123, but I've bought a lot of stuff from MF and I've never had a problem. I'll echo the quick shipping sentiment as well.

 

Never had a problem with MF...have had problems with gear that was damaged during shipping, which they quickly replaced. Good company, IMO.

 

I bought a combo amp from Music123...great price, fast shipping, perfect condition. I would definitely buy from them again.

Music123 are pretty good and reliable, I've ordered some accecories and a Digitech BP200 from them, theyre 100% reliable, if you have any questions or anything just send them an email and theyle reply really quickly, the maximum time you have to wait for a reply is 48 hours.

 

MF, fine. M123 sux.

 

Never order anything from either of them that's on backorder. This is when their whole system breaks down. You won't get your gear for months at that point. This is why you HAVE to phone in orders and ask them to check stock.

 

Musicians Friend is bascially Guitar Center on the internet.

 

Both of them have done fine by me. Music123 has been especially accomodating my recent propensity to change my mind after the order -- it's always been "no big deal."

 

I've bought from MF about a dozen times - everything from amps, to basses, to guitars, to effects; only one thing arrived damaged and they exchanged it promptly.

I will continue to buy from them.

I never bought anything from 123.
