Good place, they helped me out and were very friendly. Be aware they are busy and wait time for repairs can be long, like a couple months, so call ahead if time is a factor.

Customers frequently praise the shop for its professional technicians, friendly staff, and reasonable pricing on repairs for keyboards, amplifiers, and other electronic instruments. Positive reviews highlight effective communication, where staff provide regular updates and often complete work ahead of schedule. However, a recurring criticism in low-star reviews involves extended turnaround times, with some customers reporting that their equipment was held for months or even a year before being returned, sometimes with new damage or without adequate explanation.

Best repair and customer service for keyboards in the Los Angeles county metropolitan area; and definitely worth their price in gold for repair price point on completed repairs. I found out about Advanced Musical Electronics from another church musician in the Antelope Valley area.

AME Rocks! This is the second time they have repaired my Apollo for me. Both times they were reasonably-priced with a quick turnaround time and great communication. They initially said it would take a month before they could get it on the bench but they got it done in a little over a week. The best in Los Angeles!

Once again I was taken care of by professional technicians with great customer service. It was decided to do very little to a vintage amp I brought in. They could have told me I needed all kinds of work on this very old piece of gear and I would not have known the difference. Because these people respect and value our instruments and the craftsmanship that it takes to make them, they said let's leave it as is and handle with care. Refreshing to have that kind of honesty and straightforwardness.

If you use professional audio hardware which must operate reliably, then this is the place for service and repair you should consider. The wait is long, but for good reason. They are the best.

Took my baby in (Ashdown ABM 500 head) and even though it took a while to get the new power transformer shipped directly from England, it was worth it - this amp has never sounded so good! Thanks AME for your care and dedication!

Excellent, top notch service and staff! Very knowledgeable, and they give you updates every step of the way, as your instrument is being repaired, which I really appreciated. The staff is amazing and super friendly!
