I have several very high end acoustic and electric guitars, and have also discovered that the owner of the shop, Gillian, is amazing at all sorts of guitar repair!!! Very unique guitars hand built by Gillian, as well as consignment guitars, make this shop part of my weekly routine to just stop in and play with these beautiful instruments. In closing, the owner Gillian is super cool , and great for advice or just about anything "guitar". My new favorite place!!!!

I've been using Woodsongs Lutherie for repair and setup work since moving to Boulder County in…read more2013. Their work is consistently top notch: done well and right the first time at a fair price in a reasonable time frame. From routine repairs on newer instruments, to careful restoration of 90 year old instruments, to getting creative and indulging requests (like adding an octave string to a 6 string acoustic), John, Parker, Willow and the rest of the crew are excellent. Highly recommend for work on anything with strings, electric or (especially) acoustic.

David Goodrich is a wonderful character. He doesn't always make it to the phone in time to pick it…read moreup, but he responds quickly to e-mails so I'd recommend that route for communication. And he is by appointment-only now, so don't just show up and expect to be seen. All that said, I doubt there's a better place anywhere to get your instrument repaired. He is extremely knowledgeable and downright passionate about violins, violas, and cellos. I own one of his violins and I take it in every year for a check-up. He holds it like a baby, taking his time to inspect everything, then hands it back and asks me to play something. Then he makes a face, takes the violin, and adjusts something before asking me to play again. Repeat for up to an hour. It's amazing how the tiniest tweakings make such a massive difference in sound quality! My violin has literally doubled in value since I bought it, and I'm sure it wouldn't have matured quite so magnificently without the yearly adjustments. Plus, it's really fun to get to try all sorts of new things- from strings to chin rests to bridges of varying heights- and then learn about why they change the way your violin plays.

Over 25 years ago, I purchased a "restored" cello in NYC that had serious problems. David discussed…read morethe issues with me and I ended up having him re-set the neck, remove the top to reinforce some cracks, and re-bush the peg box to allow use of higher tension strings. He also advised me to write to the dealer from whom I'd purchased the instrument detailing the problems he'd solved. Based on his diagnosis and reputation, they sent me a check covering most of the repair cost. I still play this cello today, and it has been entirely free of problems. David routinely works on instruments worth 10-20x what mine cost; I would trust him with anything!

Both employees were busy, but I received no acknowledgement. I found what I needed, I think. After they finished with their customer, I was able to make my purchase and the clerk was very friendly. There is a huge selection of both acoustic and electric guitars. If you are a Van Halen fan, you will see a lot of flying V's!

I had a guitar set up with these guys, and the setup was actually great so no complaint with that!…read moreHowever, they said they would contact me when it was finished which did not happen, and I wound up having to call them to find out it was done. Wouldn't have been any big deal except the interaction on the phone asking the tech about it felt defensive, like he felt I was accusing him, which I wasn't. Then I got to the store and asked the guy at checkout and got the same feeling. Like my statement about not getting a text was an unreasonable point. Anyway, an awkward interaction, BUT I got it, and all is good. I think it's best when dealing with customers to just try hard to assume best intentions. I somehow ended up feeling defensive by just commenting that I didn't get a text. Like "why didn't I get a text?" That's innocent, right? I think so. In their position I would have said "I'm really sorry about that. We sent a text, and it didn't go through. I hope it wasn't too much inconvenience." Boom, done. Anyway, this all seems so silly as I'm saying it, but it's honestly annoying to feel like I'm a problem when I don't think I did anything wrong. There are a lot of options out there, and customer service is quite important to me. In fact, I'd spend more for it. It's a niggle, but its important to me to feel welcomed.

But after scheduling an appt for my son, and having it changed at the last minute because of teacher conflict, followed by THEIR recommended alternative times, followed by an email from the guitar teacher that THEY DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE ROOMS, I have no faith at all that they can run this business.

For the price, I do expect every minute of the 30-minute slot to be spent playing/practicing the instrument. Also, students' scheduling needs come after those of the teachers and they too often rearrange students' schedules. If you are looking for high-quality lessons and a convenient in-town location, this is a great spot if you can handle the scheduling juggling and sometimes hurried lessons.
