Rob Engel is a master luthier who’s work is probably the best in the state. His guitars play better than just about every custom shop guitar I’ve ever tried and he brings other guitars up several levels with even the smallest of tuneups.
Rob is a tremendous craftsman and his work is unparalleled. I’d highly recommend Engel Guitars for a custom one-of-kind guitar or a set-up/tune-up for any guitar currently in your stable. 5 stars all the way.
I had my 1966 Epiphone casino refretted and set up by Rob. I took it home and can’t put it down. The setup is so perfect The job is so immaculate. I plan on bringing more guitars to Rob for setups. Best setup and refret I’ve ever had. Thanks Rob

I just wanted to leave a review of CT Band Instruments because they are amazing and super kind! Today we rented a trumpet for my son and it was $159.40 (with tax) for October to June 30th. It was a very affordable price and a very welcoming place. Creative Music Center where we went to before hand did not have the trumpet in stock and they were not as friendly as this place. Also, CT Band Instruments is way closer than Creative Music Center and had a lot better service while also being cheaper.
I highly recommend this place. My son’s teacher said that he needed a couple of new strings on his rented cello. I really wish we had rented the cello from Dee at CT instruments! Dee was wonderful! After speaking to her on the phone, and explaining the situation, she ordered the strings. When I went in to have them changed, she realized that the strings were fine. The bridge just needs an adjustment; she fixed it and tuned it for free!! She’s a gem!!
D is great! Excellent customer service and friendly atmosphere. I have worked there for a month and I love it so far!
Terrible experience here. Dont listen to what the owner says in their response. musician with over 27 years experience. This business is shady in my opinion.

I WENT TO PAWN KING TO PURCHASE SOMETHING
THE PROCESS WENT SMOOTH . THEY ARE SO NICE AND FRIENDLY AND THEY WORK WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT SITUATION YOU HAVE. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL NOT LIKE THESE OTHER FAKE PAWNS THAT TAKE YOUR MONEY…. THANKS MR.PAWN KING
i have been dealing with the boys in pawn king for many years, and i think they are resonable for pawning items. If it isnt enough they are always will to work with me…I will always use pawn king before any other pawn shop….
I can’t get rid of a review
comment who knows how to ?
Greetings all, Pawn King is back to great service. Got Super Deal On Some VIntage “BOSE 901 VI Speakers” which had chips to cabinet, but speakers are in new condition, Price….? $100 out the door, my dream speakers are now mine. Thanks Pawn King
seems shady. been there a few times only to be told my items were worth very little. went to another shop and in one case got 500% more. try it. go there get a quote then go somewhere else.
Very Rude Racists

What a gem !
The energy was wonderful!
And good prices
Just had my Fretwire kit setup at Route 1 Guitars, and I’m thrilled! I was having a problem with a strange buzzing in one string, but John worked his magic. She sounds wonderful with the new Elixir 10s.
Aside from the excellent work they do, John and Gail are truly nice people, the kind you love having a conversation with. 10/10 would recommend them. I’m sure I’ll be returning, just have to be careful of all the beautiful guitars calling my name!
The best guitar shop ever with the best owners.
Knowledgeable staff, in addition to guitars, keyboards, etc… They have school instrument rentals
Nice staff
Absolute joke of a store.
Call before visiting the store. They say they’re open at 12:30 but don’t show up for hours after the fact. I get it, they’re a small operation, but wasting your local customer’s time doesn’t breed repeat customers. I needed to be in the store three times. All three times, my time was wasted because the store wasn’t open during their own published times of operation. Just rent your kid’s instrument from somewhere else.
Sent my guitar (Fender Jazzmaster) for connection electric issue. After roughly a week and a half guitar was done just for it to have the same issue. What a disappointment
