Eloíza

"These guys go above and beyond! we have brought a few instruments in need of repairs to them and they always do more then what is asked of them, at a fair and honest price, they are always up front about repair cost and time, and do a wonderful job! We are grateful to be able to rely on them for these needs." (Google)

Ami Strange

"One of the greatest guitar buying experiences I’ve had to date was because of this establishment. The people who work there are more than willing to help you out, and tell you what you need to hear rather than what will give their store more profit in the end. Will definitely be coming back to fix/buy my guitars from them in the future!" (Google)

Nathan Nors
