Clancy's Music

The guy who helped us was spot on with his customer service. Super knowledgeable and passionate, he gave us great advice on the instrument we were renting. He knew a ton about the instruments in the store and actually got my son excited about not just the trombone, but also picking up the guitar too!

The moment I walked in, I was greeted and assisted in finding the right acoustic guitar. Clancy was very helpful in explaining each guitar. I highly recommend anyone who's looking to learn a new instrument to check these guys out. I'll definitely be back.

Nice clean store, lots of inventory, knowledgeable sales staff.And everybody knows Clancy.

I would like to say that I'm a classically trained guitarist, and a former student of Clancy's from back in the late 1980's and 1990's. However, I found that little has changed with Clancy in his priorities; this guy barrowed several music books from me when I was his student costing $25.00 each and never gave them back because he was a flake with "issues" (people who know him personally, know what I'm talking about) which I won't mention here. And, most people never change even if their circumstances have.My Experience:I came into his store to spend over $800.00 on an Ibanez guitar, but he spent about two-minutes (distracted) trying to sell me a cheapy for around $350.00 as he complained about supply chain problems which I'm aware that most businesses are going through. However, he had some guitars I was still interested in buying. I began to ask about the more expensive models which he did not want to hand me to check out; though I own a Cadillac SRX, I think he tried to pigeon-hole me as being broke, or something which offended me as I'm a journeyman railroader. A woman then walked in who was reasonably attractive (she did not ask for anyone's help) and he simply walked away from me to practically leap at her. I promptly left the store. I tried a couple more times to give his store a chance which was not easy for me to do after my first dose of his woeful "Customer Service". And after he learned that I bought my Ibanez from American Musical Supply, brand new; he was resentful because I went to a place he cannot compete with. Therefore, he was rude to me from that moment on.Yes, I bought my RG420HPFM elsewhere and that's where I will take my business...elsewhere. No wonder Clancy's sign doesn't match the store; I guess he's too broke to buy a new one! Lol!Happy to move on to online music stores that don't burn you because they don't have to. And I can repair my own gear! Hometown music stores are practically dead for lots of good reasons; like the aforementioned above.

Clancy is very knowledgeable. He repaired 3 of our guitars. They work perfectly now. His prices are reasonable

Great shop in Stockton! They're small but they can also special order a lot of things you might be looking for, like a specific guitar book or even a drum set! Support your local businesses!

Went in with high hopes, left disappointed. Came in to see how much it would be to swap out some pick ups in a guitar and get new strings. Nothing out of the ordinary. Gave me a quote. Great. Wasn't in my ballpark but I was assured the job could be done. After stating the price of the job i asked of, I assume it would be the owner, went off to make derogatory remarks of Music Go Round here in Stockton. I had mentioned I'd be looking around to check prices and he mentioned Music Go Round being the only other option, only to further comment about how "slow" and "old" the tech was and the turn around rate taking an exaggerated amount of time. So went to music go round to find a young man behind the tech table offering literally half the price that was offered at clancys and it was less than 24 hours done. Had multiple projects done waiting to be picked up and was working on a current guitars. Clancys had one guitar going on and told me it would be ready the following week. Dude seemed kind of desperate to make a sale but so quick to diss another local shop. Will never give that place business. Go to Music Go Round for any local services in Stockton.

Clancy is phenomenal. I thought I was pretty happy with my collection of guitars. He put one in my hands with features I didn't know existed and now I've got a new one to look forward to. Be sure not to miss this place if you're looking for an instrument. Or if you're "just looking."You might be surprised!jv

Brought in a Taylor 12 string that needed a bridge doctor and new strings,along with shaving the saddle.Its absolutely perfect.Price was extremely reasonable..I will be back.Thanks,Clancy

Clancy is great. Helped get all the best same day gear for Great Prices that matched online retailers. Highly recommend for your Social media content needs.
