A hidden gem UPSTAIRS. Don’t miss it. Dave the owner is great, and talented. Patrick Gill is the PREMIER guitar TECH in the whole northwest CT region. He works miracles at a very fair price. Excellent teachers, Will for piano and keyboards and Mike for guitar and bass. Better check them out. I only trust my guitars to Dave and Patrick. Won’t go anywhere else. Seriously.
Woodbury Music is the best shop around of all of your instrument needs! The shop owner Dave, is both friendly & knowledgeable! I have gotten both common things done (fixing of saxophone keys) as well as unusual things done (fixing of a dulcimer bridge) and everyone has always been great! I have also taken lessons for almost three years now, and my teacher Mike is not only a dedicated teacher, but also a very talented professional. Stop by and check it out!
Great honest shop here. Had a great online interaction with Dave via email. Want to know why I trust them? Because they talked me out of a purchase. Ha! Thanks again!
2. George’s Music Center
Address: 905 New Harwinton Rd, Torrington, CT 06790 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
We recently decided to have our 13 year old son take drum lessons here. He loves it so much we bought him a Ludwig four piece set. Just installed it and he’s having a blast jamming out! Great atmosphere and quality service. Highly recommended.
George is knowledgeable and friendly. He did a wonderful job adjusting the neck on my guitar. I am happy to support this local business. If you need any instruments or gear, this is the place to go.
Excellent service, invaluable local resource!
If you’re not looking to go too far to get musical instruments. Look no further. Expensive though. But if you don’t care about prices, go for it. Not much of a selection though.
Nice shop
Meh
This place is just awful. The owner is so rude to us that i will never go back. We rented an instrument from him because our normal music store didnt have the instrument and when the instrument broke he said it was our fault and that it wasnt covered and then bad mouthed our local music store.
After going to this place; I must say I will never go back there again. The owner is so rude and disrespectful. Its not even funny. The owner needs get off his anthropocentric state of mind.
3. DuBaldo Music Center
Address: 881 Main St, Manchester, CT 06040 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Finally got to visit after doing some business over the phone 18 years ago with Pete. Great inventory, selection and people. One of the very best examples of why we need to support local businesses and how great a family can run them!
Fantastic service, fast shipping, and competitive pricing.
Phenomenal shop that really personifies customer service! Pete is a great guy to deal and talk shop with. My guitar arrived safe, secure AND quickly. I can’t recommend DuBaldo enough, just give them a call or stop by already!
Great service
4. The Music Shop
Address: 22 Mc Dermott Ave, Torrington, CT 06790 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Our 13 year old son has been taking private saxophone lessons at ” The Music Shop” for over 4 years, starting with Leo Liddle. Keith Wilson, a very talented musician took over as his teacher and we love his dedication and perseverance to help expand our son’s musical knowledge with the sax, while also making it fun. The expansion of his new location makes the updated atmosphere a wonderful learning environment, and also has great on site repair service.
Throughout the years I have purchased guitars,and Equitment,. We miss Leo. He was the music teacher at Lewis S Mills High School in the 70’s. To ?. I graduated in 72. Great music shop. Get just about anything musical.
Knowledgeable people
5. Acoustic Music
Address: 4 Maple St, Chester, CT 06412 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
This is the best location for spec/maintenance in Connecticut Ma and RI I have worked with these guys for years and I’m always blown away by their service and customer support.
if you play guitar and enjoy finer instruments you got to stop in…. the best selection of quality acoustic guitars and a few electrics too for those who like to plug in. They will also match Sweetwater as well. So if you need a new instrument stop in and support a local shop.Very knowledgeable staff as well.
Knowledgable staff and an amazing stock of guitars. The most impressive set of archtops I’ve found anywhere!
Had a guitar cable when I needed it.
No prices listed
Thé Owners are lousy business
Not many mandolins
6. Turnpike Music Garage
Address: 1485 Black Rock Tpke, Fairfield, CT 06825 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Friendly staff and good price for instrument rentals.
Extremely nice guy and definitely knowledgeable. Went in for a guitar set up, and he got it to me in a quick time and even spared me a few dollars when I went to pick it up. Definitely recommend!
A little hard to find, but owner was very helpful in my search for a solid-woods Classical guitar. Looked at a very nice A/Yari. Has some nice guitars, but he is limited by space constraints. If the f-ups in Washington and the greedy sob’s on Wall St would all drop dead, this store would have a good chance of growing.
Had an excellent selection of strings. Plan on visiting again soon.
I got My sons cello at this store and the bridge was broken and the stand
7. Crescendo Music
Address: 351 Post Rd, Darien, CT 06820 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
I brought my beat up old ovation guitar here and I’m blown away at how nicely they fixed it up. They gave me a great price and this 20+ year old guitar is playing like it’s brand new. I highly recommend them for guitar setups and repairs!
I recently spent hours working with the staff at Crescendo Music after cleaning out my closets. They were extremely helpful in identifying instruments that needed and were worth repair, and gave me honest price estimates for each item’s value. Thank you to the staff for going above and beyond to talk me through a seemingly overwhelming process!
As a vocal and guitar instructor for several years at Cresendo Music I can say that Cresendo is truly amazing and inspiring to young and old alike wanting to learn how to play an instrument, or sing. All the instructors are high-level professionals who love to share their skills!
It’s also an easy and convenient stop for your musical instrument needs or repairs. Jason is a really great guy and an easy to work with guitar luthier plus! The whole staff is great!!
If you’ve been wanting to learn an instrument, including your vocal instrument, definitely connect with them!
Do not rent from them. Had a few issues – just now with the return of the instrument. Returned a cello on 5.20, and still received a charge for another forward month on 5.22.
I called them, and manager Jason told me it is my job to call their provider of instruments and take care of this situation. That they only provide pick up and drop off and cannot be on the phone all day trying to reach their supplier. I was also offered to come and get the cello from the store again and personally take it to their supplier.
Very bad. Obviously, they do not get that when a customer rents from them, it is Crescendo’s store the customer rents from and not some obscure supplier. It is also their brand/store image that suffers.
Do not believe a flute that was dropped off to be cleaned and refurbished was even touched. Paid for the service and when opened, it remained unpolished and keys were still sticking to the pads. Unprofessional.
8. JC Music
Address: 529 W Main St, Meriden, CT 06451 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
We love it here! My son has been taking drums here for a couple years and just loves his instructor! The staff is great, really helpful and knowledgeable. We have also bought instruments and accessories here at great prices. They offer just about any kind of music lessons and have great inventory.
I have been going to JC Music for many years and will continue to go there for my musical needs.I find that I am able to find and buy whatever I need at reasonable prices and quality.The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and my experiences there are always enjoyable.Thanks guys ,You rock!
Overall, excellent service and very friendly people. I have had positive experiences every time I needed something or had to sell something with their consignment program. Very simple and easy. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
My grandson really enjoyed the music lessons and they are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend them.
Would like to obtain some nice brushes and some type of top hat set used and very sturdy since I break percussion instruments all the time when I perform?
My son, Roberto Luis and Rosa live in Meriden. Are you far from the mall? I have spent a lot of time jamming in Puerto Rico to salsa, merengue, etc but my favorite is funk like Buddy Miles.
Never have any of the literature or instrument parts I’m looking for. Took 3 months to repair a trombone. I tried to return an item and they wouldn’t give me back the cash to go to another place. The owner has blatantly disrespected my mother on several occasions and doesn’t have much knowledge of much of anything outside of rock music. As far as i’m concerned, this is the worst music store i’ve ever set foot in and would not recommend to anybody.
This was a horrible expierence. They need to get their stuff together, they had already-sold instruments on shelf. They had an amazing guitar sale and when I went to buy, it was already sold! They got my hopes high and let it down and I will not give them my money any longer.
Completely disappointed. I placed an order in store on a instrument that was never placed with JC music. The customer service was poorly displayed and the options they gave us was not acceptable. I asked to speak to the owner several times and would not get on the phone and made his new employee talk to me. I ended up going somewhere else that was amazing
9. Bethel Music Center – Instrument Sales, Rentals, Lessons and Repairs
Address: 273 Greenwood Ave #101, Bethel, CT 06801 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Great service!
Allowed me to trade in a Sax for Trumpet and gave me a very fair price on the Sax. Thank you Bethel Music
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great for helping kiddos when mom and dad are not musically inclined. Highly recommend.
Where else? Where else in the Danbury/Bethel area can you get all the music, Muzak, musique y musica Stuff and Expertise at all levels and for all genres that you may need?! Where, I ask you. Go ahead, try and tell me. But don’t try to tell me you’ll find nicer, more helpful staff than Sarah and Sophia and Juan and… Don’t even.
Instrument rentals are great for their prices
Good info from employees
Just stopped by quick. Had a great hour. They are the best
10. The Music Score LLC
Address: 2315 Silas Deane Hwy, Rocky Hill, CT 06067 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Really great place to stop by and get an instrument. The prices seem a bit higher but the quality is surely within the quality you’d expect.
I bought a ukulele here and the quality and sound lived up to the price.
The Music Score is now at 2315 and under new management. The store offers lessons for all instruments (including vocal), rentals and purchases on all instruments (including pianos.) The Music Score includes workshops and classes, like Music Together for toddlers, Music Fun Time for small children, and more. Jazz Band is held on Wednesday nights, Open Mic every last Friday. Other fun times are held, like Karaoke, Music Movie night, and Game night. Events are held about four times a year like The Frozen Spring Thaw, Open Houses, Christmas parties, recitals, new years for kids, and more. This store has a little of everything and caters to people from newborns to senior citizens. When you walk in the door you are part of the family and the teachers, associates, and owners take pride in caring and educating. A true mom and pop shop who are part of the community and helping it grow.
I didn’t come to purchase any thing but the employees were more than happy to show me their selection and teach me about the purpose of the parts on the guitars/bass.
My daughter is signed up for lessons and her teacher is great (I hear the others are as well). Just try not to deal with the guy that owns it.
Very knowledgeable and friendly.
I tried to return my daughter’s Viola due to the school no longer providing classes. It was a total nightmare to get an answer in regards to my credit. They are very irresponsible and I am very disappointed by the lack of care towards my return which was even misplaced! Mom and dad are not helpful at all and he should really look at keeping them home, they make things worse!
Arrived at 10:00am (they open at 10am, but not today). I waited and they finally arrived. All I needed was guitar strings, but they had none. What a waste of time.
11. The Music Shop
Address: 405 Queen St, Southington, CT 06489 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
The best service on the planet. These guys are like music stores used to be
Why is a guy in Melbourne, Australia giving a music shop Southington, Connecticut a five star review? Well I grew up in nearby Bristol and got a number of the guitar books I still use from the Music Shop about 20 years ago. But the real reason I’m giving a high rating is for the help they’ve offered my mother. I left my Les Paul behind in Connecticut and during Melbourne’s Covid lockdown got back into guitar. I asked my mother if she could send me my LP, and, having no idea what to do, she went to the Guitar Shop. They helped her pack it up and told her exactly what to do to make sure it arrived safely, and it did! Then, a few months ago, while cleaning out my late grandmother’s basement, my mother found an old parlour guitar. She went back to the Music Shop and they gave her advice about whether it was worth fixing up and shipping. That guitar just arrived at my door today in great shape.
Thanks so much guys!
I brought my old Taylor guitar in for some adjustments and Scot was awesome!!super knowledgeable, attentive, detailed and quick turn around to get my guitar back to me. The adjustments were just what I was looking for so now I can happily play my guitar! Very personable and friendly! Excellent service! I love the local feel! I would highly recommend this shop!
Great place but website could be better such as pics of some used equipment. I’m a drummer and would like to see what they have for new and used cymbals,stands,drum kits etc. And prices. I have done business with them and always had a great experience the reason for three stars is the website doesn’t do the music shop justice. All and all great store great people.
The cellos were in not in good shape and we had to pay a luthiere to redo repairs that were poorly done when we received the instrument.
12. Creative Music Center
Address: 701 Main St, Monroe, CT 06468 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
First time @the New Haven store, was very pleased with the service. Eric was great. Will definitely go again.
Loved it great customer service, staff is knowledgeable about products and gives excellent advice on my audio projects and they service what they sell. It’s also a nice friendly atmosphere from you walk thru the door
Multi brands of products very good customer service stop by and check it out
Great customer service. I often spend at least an hour playing instruments I dont have at home.
Their selection of drum equipment, especially cymbals, is meager, but the staff is always great. There’s one guy in particular (in drums) that I love dealing with, and is one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back, despite the limited selection.
I had a good experience overall from shopping at San Ash. I’ve been a customer of them for about 10 years. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. They are honest which I really appreciate. The last thing you’d want to do is sway a customer I.to making a purchase of an item that doesn’t do exactly what you want it to. I’ve dealt with Dan at the Amity store and because of his honesty and great customer service I’d recommend Sam Ash to be the place to shop at for your pro audio needs.
Rude and didn’t give me the time of day to hear what I had to say or help me
Everyone was super helpful until I cordially opted to not provide a phone number at checkout. Jordan was helping me and claimed he needed an address or phone number to process the transaction. I pointed out that Radio Shack usually enters a fake number and he ended up doing the same but his entire demeanor had already changed. He set my card and then the pen (to sign the receipt) down on the counter rather than hand them back to me (seemed deliberate but of course I don’t know for certain). I said “Thanks, have a good day” as we finished up but he turned away and didn’t say anything in return. He definitely seemed to take the fact that I didn’t want to provide any personal information way too personally. Pretty silly, if you ask me.

15. Greenwich Music
Address: 1200 E Putnam Ave, Riverside, CT 06878 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
A fantastic environment all around with great employees to teach of all levels. Would recommend them every time!
Been having intonation issues with my guitar for a while and GM did a fantastic job getting it recording ready again. Eric and Bill were so professional. Bill took the time to do the adjustment in front of me so I know what to do in the future. That shows a real passion for the craft and for service, not just trying to get you to come back in to make a buck.
Truth be told I got my first guitar here in 2006 and and they treated me with nothing but respect and professionalism when I was a beginner and now that I play professionally. I’ll be back with more guitars.
Needed a ukulele capo and they had it in stock. Very friendly and also great assortment of guitars, ukuleles, drums and other instruments. From what I can tell by pricing it’s very reasonable. Would definitely recommend if in or near Greenwich.
It’s a nice place! It’s a bit small but otherwise it’s nice.
We were kindly helped in the store, but we were buying a guitar for our son and we don’t live in the US. We were having problems with internet so we couldn’t research correctly at the moment, but they assured that the amp could be used in 220 current. We arrived home and we connected the amp and it didn’t work. So the amp was burned. Apart from that the price was a bit higher than the same thing in other stores, it’s not nice to pay 50 dollars more, but that is just business and anyone can charge what they want. It was our fault that we didn’t do a good research before buying. But the very kind person that assured us that it would work because he used to be an electrician, and it only needed a basic adapter, was totally wrong and now we are home and we lost an amp, so we paid extra for the set and it didn’t work. You were very kind indeed, but please if you are not sure about something, don’t sell it. Because we lost money and we can’t go back because we don’t live there.
Their hours aren’t very convenient and I was having a guitar strung and I dropped it off and I didn’t get a call before the store closed and then they were closed the next day Sunday so I didn’t get my guitar until Monday and that was extremely inconvenient. They also have a very small selection of basses.Update, they aren’t even open a couple hours on the 4th of July so I won’t get my guitar till Tuesday I am very upset with this store.
Terrible customer service. Called and said I would be by in 10 minutes for an emergency repair. Guy was nice on the phone. When I arrived 5 minutes early they had closed up and locked. Super helpful…
Rudest customer service I have ever encountered. The man I spoke to on the phone yelled and hung up on me. When my daughter went in person to drop off the instrument for repair at the agreed upon time, he remained upset and kicked my daughter out of the store. Strongly encourage anyone looking to have their instruments fixed to look elsewhere. Disappointing experience to say the least.
16. Guitar Center
Address: 50 Boston Post Rd, Orange, CT 06477 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Helpful employees, plenty of equipment and amps to fool around with.
Helpful staff
Lots of broken strings.
Mediocre store in general. I have always gone to Sam Ash over Guitar Center. I give it 3 stars for their large selection but that’s it. Some days you come in here and it’s a mad house with kids everywhere and just overwhelming…
Cool place. They have a large selection of electric and acoustic guitars and they’re all reasonably priced.
Don’t know whats going on with this place. Stopped by last week, couldn’t tell if they are going out of business, or just got robbed. Next to no inventory, things out of place. Store beat up and run down looking. Was once a great store. Almost always walked out buying something in the past. Now just a handful of overpriced guitars behind 1 counter and bunch of junk hanging on 1 wall. I wish them the best.
A little over yr ago I had ordered a vintage guitar online from guitar center and it was shipped professionally done. I thought that was the Guitar Center Standard so I decided to purchase an other one. The next purchase came from this location and all I can say people ship $2 LP’s with more responsibility and care than these guys did with shipping a 1967 Vox Super Lynx Deluxe.
Ok
17. Middlesex Music Academy
Address: 440 Main St, Middletown, CT 06457 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Great service – they fixed my instrument while I waited, gave clear instructions on follow up care, and I was all set for my gig that night.
I’ve been a patron of the Middlesex Music Academy for over a decade. This is the place. THIS, is the place. If you’re looking for a tutor, repair or an expert opinion/guidance about music, THIS, is the place. You are not going to get the same care or interaction elsewhere; THIS, is the place.
For instances, their “repair guy” Joe Stereo, is the best. I have trusted him with my most beloved gear and he has treated my gear as if it were his own. He is aces. He’s always gone above beyond the call of duty in every conceivable way. Joe has worked on more than a dozen of my
instruments and I have never been dissatisfied in anyway.
Matt, the store proprietor, is a seasoned musician. He and his dedicated staff are generous with their knowledge and willing to work with anyone on any budget or otherwise to achieve their goals. I can’t say enough about this homegrown and beautiful establishment.
The bottom line, if you’re looking for a music store where you can build a lasting and worthwhile relationship with, then look no further than the Middlesex Music Academy. THIS, is the place.
Yesterday we went in to rent an instrument for my 4th grader starting band and I can’t speak enough on how smooth and easy the process was! When we walked in we were greeted by Jim, who immediately knew everything we needed and even our band teacher by name (impressive!). Our son can tend to be a bit shy but the charm of this place seemed to make him feel right at home! If I had to I would say the whole interaction took all of about 10 minutes and we were on our way. Definitely recommending this place to anyone I know looking for help with an instrument, thanks again!
The sales team made it possible for me to afford a piano for my son
I would give Middlesex Music Academy a 0 if I was able to. I called to inquire about a $150 charge when I haven‘t been confirmed by John the guitar teacher. I made a request to Matt that Tuesday was my preference but John was booked so he scheduled Thursday at 6pm. I received a text and email from John yesterday that he had a conflict for Thursday and offered Friday. I responded via text/email that would not work and inquired if this was temporary or permanent to which I did not receive a response. I let John know this may not be a good fit then. I called today to have the charge refunded and Jim proceeded to call me names, saying I was yelling & screaming over the phone and I was being rude. No need to go into the dramatics but Jim needs a lesson in manners, telling the truth and understanding that being a manager does not give him the authority to behave poorly. Never once did I raise my voice but did correct Jim several times throughout the conversation all because i asked for a refund. Extremely unprofessional and a bad look for Middlesex Music all around. I will be taking my business elsewhere. Inexcusable & theater worthy performance by Jim today folks!!!
I signed up for a piano lesson trial online. Their site is very confusing and it’s not clear if the lesson is in-person and online. I called them, left a message but they never called me back. In the day/time of the lesson, I called them 3 times because I was having problems to contact the teacher. The guy who works there, Jim, clearly doesn’t have any customer service skills. He was rude and unpleasant. He didn’t make any effort to help me, told me a was confused and nobody else had problems. I just canceled the future lessons there. It’s easier just hire a private piano teacher. Hopefully I will never have to deal with this guy again.
I paid $80 for a setup on a guitar and got it back with the strings a mile off of the neck and the floyd rose studs so high out of the body I could park a car under it. The bridge pickup was raised until it was practically touching the strings and the neck pickup was lowered to below the pickup ring. The tech then told me that 10-52 strings don’t exist. They’re light top heavy bottom and aren’t even uncommon strings. Every time I go there they give bad advice and clearly don’t know what they’re talking about. My friend tried to buy a tubescreamer (basic overdrive) and they tried to sell him a phaser instead (completely different thing).
18. Music Center of North Haven Llc
Address: 473 Washington Ave, North Haven, CT 06473 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Amazing music store, great teachers and full of positive people
My kids enjoy their piano teachers
Very friendly and helpful staff. Both of my sons have been taking lessons here since Sept. 2016 and have thrived with patient and attentive instructors. Thank you!
Super friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great place to get music!!
First experience here, but guy greeted me immediately and helped me pick out a capo. Nice feature to have a cafe inside.
I came in for my introductory ukulele lesson. The place was a mess. The chair I was told to sit on had metal pieces sticking out the side. The AC was not on. The instructor informed me he had been playing uke for about 3 years. I was charged $50 and it was the biggest waste of money. I was highly disappointed.
This is a review for the musical forest cafe. I wish I could have enjoyed the food at this place, but this business is a mess. I came here a month ago on a Tuesday and they were closed out of the blue, so they granted me a 10% discount coupon for my trouble. I decided to give this place a try once again today so I called in advanced, but no one picked up the phone. I then googled their hours and noticed it said they opened at noon (I tried calling at 11:00 a.m.) but that they were opened today. To be completely sure about that, I checked their facebook page that stated, in fact, that they were open. When I arrived to the restaurant the owner greated me and stated that they have been closing on Fridays for the past 9 months and that I should have checked their facebook page prior to coming in here (REALLY?!). After explaining to him that I DID checked facebook he apologized and said he will change the facebook hours for his restaurant and offered to give me another discount coupon. I didn’t even bothered to take the coupon and left very disappointed by the lack of reliability and professionalism of this place and won’t ever be coming back. Places like this just reinforced my belief that going out of business is a conscious effort and wouldn’t be surprised if this happened to this cafe in the near future.
Guitar tech could not look at my guitar because he busy making egg sandwiches.
19. Rayburn Music
Address: 22B Andover Dr, West Hartford, CT 06110 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Excellent Quality of both service and instruments.
Very friendly fast and efficient service! I love shopping local
Very helpful.
Fast and friendly service
STAY AWAY from this company! I rented a cello early 2019. We returned the cello in Aug 2019 and are still getting billed for it! I’ve called and left messages since no one picks up the phone in the Milford office where I rented and returned the instrument. No call back and monthly payments for the cello are still getting charged off my bank card. Had to file a complaint with my bank to stop payments. Terrible terrible business practice!
In store service is good but can never call the Hartford Rayburn Music. Electronic voice prompts to dial 0 for an attendant but when do so it says “Your call cannot be transferred” been a customer for about 3 years. Never could get done anything over phone. Have to visit store for everything.
trying to reach the store for the past 5 months. they are not responding to email or phone call. The phone service is also disconnected now.
we are left with no response and no refund.
20. GuitarFixer Bob LLC
Address: 167 Main St, Seymour, CT 06483 , Deori , Connecticut , United States
Well I needed to bring my New guitar to a professional to have it looked at an adjusted I guess the right word is Setup. I called around to several Big box stores but although they said they were trained I didn’t get that warm secure feeling of trust with my ne baby a 2019 Gibson Les Paul Standard High Preformance with a Bluebury burst finish to die for …
Well I was just about to run down to one of the big box stores but then while using Google came up with a little Guitar shop called Guitar Fixer Bob in Seymour ,CT. I read his credentials and who and how many years he had under his belt along with some well know Rock and Roll guitar hero’s he had for customers and I was sold I need to talk to this man. I called him up and even though he had a back logg (that’s always a good sign of great work) I got him to see me. Let me tell you the man is a perfectionist! What a subperb setup… I thought he was just going to throw on a new set of strings, tune it and be done after all this was brand new guitar from Gibson right….way wrong ! He spent two hours going over every little detail. Even found a missing screw in the nut mounting I had the Dealer on the phone but we found it in the case in a crevasse wow thank God!
Take your guitars to Bob don’t be penny wise and pound foolish going to the big box stores who would of just played it and sent me on my way. Bob when through everything, tweaked the neck adjusted the bridge and stopbar tailpiece oiled the neck adjusted the Nut and place back in the missing screw (it was very small the size of a pin head I never would have seen it missing) what a professional luthier. Lessons learned you get what you paid for at Guitar Fixer Bob LLC YOU ROCK my friend!
Bob was great to deal with, he was very informative on the phone and seemed truly passionate about his work. I decided to bring in my 7 String for a fret grind/polish – this guitar is a beast, locking trem system and stainless steel frets. I play with the lowest action I can get away with I was thrilled with Bob’s work, the frets are so smooth and I cant find a low/high spot anywhere, he also cleaned up the fret ends
Highly recommend. \../-_-\../
Bob corrected a poor fret job by another luthier. This guitar was a 63 Stratocaster and he restored the fingerboard to the correct radius. He suggested Dunlop fret wire and showed me a model of this type of wire. When he was finished the guitar felt perfect. The best fret man in the business.
The store is never open when the website says it is
