Very helpful, honest and a great selection of gear. Was very happy with the service!!!!

Took my Les Paul in for a set up on a Saturday lunchtime. Had it back same day sounding and feeling better than ever. Great independent shop with knowledgable staff!

This friendly guy helped me with my guitar! Great work, now I can finally go out to busk. Thank you!

There's a very nice but funny man that owns it !!!!

Thank you for the set up on both my Gibson and Epiphone, both play amazingly good!

Thank you to Alan at Apex Music, Woodley, for giving me the gig the other night and altering the action on my guitar. The guitar is ready for tonight and sounding great. If you need any instrument alterations check out the website ApexMusicShop

I took my ovation in for a service, it was done within a week and the price was the cheapest I have come across in comparison to the other major instrument stores in reading, Al and his team were super helpful, I would definitely recommend this place to get your guitar serviced. Apex will now be my go-to for this very reason.

I had my Ibanez Jem modified with new Pickups and input Jack. Al did a fantastic job and price was less than quoted elsewhere. I am a happy bunny indeed

Highly recommended! The man who runs and owns it is superb! He helped my boys choose the right guitars for they wanted. Very nice man! Service is awesome! Thank you very much!

Great service, good price. Sorted out the duff pick up on my ukulele. Will definitely use again.

Great friendly, professional and knowledgeable service. Alan recently carried out a great job in setting up a high end Taylor acoustic guitar for me, which I was very happy with. Highly Recommended!

Excellent service. Great range. Always go to Apex music first.

Alan is highly knowledgeable and helpful. He has just set up my acoustic, which now plays really well. He also reset the neck on an electric I have just bought, feels like a new guitar now!!

Alan did a great job of changing my tuners and nut and then setting up my guitar. Top shop, top bloke. Highly recommended
