Real Customer Reviews:
"I have been going to Bills for about 15 years. In the beginning to just look around. I the last 2 years I have purchased 2 guitars (one new and one pre-owned) and both times I have had great assistance from staff (Rob & Ernesto) who were very helpful, knowledgeable and never pushy.
Every week for over a year I have been taking guitar lessons. When I went in I asked for someone who was good with frustrated adults who want to learn. They paired me with Jeremy Gillis and it has been a pleasure. He understands what I want to accomplish, what I want to learn and the pace and limitations that I have playing.
Overall this is a family owned business that should be considered as a Catonsville landmark and a source of pride. Their knowledge and care about their clients is always evident ." - David S.
