I was travelling and in town and got the chance to play at a coffeeshop while there. What I did not have was an extra set of strings. I needed one before the store opened the next day so I called and the owner made it possible . He had the strings taken to a shop next door where I could pick them up and leave the money. That was so nice.These people really care!!
Had Chris install a bridge pick up with a coil splitter. Great communication and great job.
Great meeting my good friend Jeffrey Smith’s cousin Chris at his shop. Cute guitar shop. Glad it worked out while we were in Salida!!!
Chris was very helpful and accommodating even if i was a day early for his shipment…
I drove over an hour and a half to salida to go this shop and nothing else. I got there, and they were closed at least two hours early. Better call before you go, apparently they don’t keep the hours they post.

Awesome little guitar shop in Salida. Jeff has a real passion for luthiery and it comes through when he talks about how he makes them. The guitars were beautifully crafted and sounded great. Go check this place out!
My mom feel in love and just had to get a new ukele.
Great quality goods , friendly atmosphere. Always worth a stop!

Mark is one of best string instrument repairmen in the business. Bring your instrument by for a tune up.
Mark has worked on 4 of my instruments with extraordinary attention to detail and perfect results. These jobs included repair, pick up installation, and set up. Mark’s set up process yields effortless playability with amazing sound. So glad to have such a resource here in the Arkansas valley!
Mark did such a fine job restoring a Martin Triple 000 that we bought for my son. He owns a wealth of knowledge about guitars and is always willing to answer any questions. We wil definitely take our guitars back to the Tuning Post when they need repair!
