Look no further if you are in the market to buy or just want to check out a great shop!
They did some incredible work setting up my 1973 Conrad acoustic guitar, which plays like a dream now. It was a ton of fun and a few of them even took a minute to play on it too!
Brian and the team are top notch and are an excellent resource for all guitar needs.

They had the pedal I wanted, and a pretty decent collection of pedals. I could also try it out in the store. Owner was super friendly and accommodating! I will be back.

My husband and I stopped in for a four string bass. Great service and good talks with the owner. Atmosphere was great and they had a nice collection going— they have a good eye.

Probably the best customer service experience I've ever had! My wife and I had the best experience with Brian. He gave us the best deal for a guitar for our teenager. He made it happen right before Christmas as well. We left there with a very beautiful guitar, knowing that anytime we need anything at all. We will have 100% support. They also offer guitar lessons for an affordable price as well. Go to local business to support them. Just a fantastic experience!
