I am not in the market for buying instruments, but lately, I've been selling. I had 2 old…read moresaxophones that I took in to Marshall Music for a price estimate. They did the estimates and told me what I could do to sell them. I am real happy about the money I got for those, much more than I paid and they both also needed pad work done. This is all I've had done there, since I'm not into buying right now, but I am getting ready to sell one of my 4 guitars. I have 2 Fender Stratocasters, an Avarez acoustical, and the one I'm selling, a hollow body guild. It's worth about what I thought, but I now have their written statement on it's worth. This is a service that I could not find elsewhere, so kudos to them.

I counting the three hour round-trip trip but these people in Kalamazoo Michigan I recommend you see them. I recommend that you talk with them because they are professional at their job. I give them 100% I will see them many times in the future where I will never call online again and I hope they took my representative because I filed a complaint against him. He called back all apologetic and tried to make it right with me, but all he did was changing the order and overnighted to me and was supposed to give me a lousy $20 refund and it has not been put upon my card and has not been put anywhere anywhere so I guess they're just gonna keep that $20 too. I say they owe me a lot more. I asked for some extra guitar pics just to see what they would say and I was refused so this order was way more because of the discounts they gave me and the original bill was like $60 more than what the stuff they sent me next day air. We will see you tomorrow when I receive it and then I'm gonna write another review because I filed a complaint against the man that did it he was specifically told certain things and he specifically did what he wanted to do. I recommend going to the Kalamazoo store. They are very good people, especially the manager named Jake. He was the one and his crew was the one that were there for me. I gave them all five stars.

I was always worried whether I would like it or not, if I would actually learn something, and I think I was always worried that I would learn I sucked and I shouldn't even try. Crazy thoughts huh?! Well anyways, I am glad I took lessons with Ashley because I learned so much. In just 5 months, I experienced a huge improvement in being able to sing. I had no idea of the depth of the gift of singing I had until she helped me discover it. Ashley is so helpful, thoughtful, and inspiring that I recommend her to anyone who loves to sing and would like to move forward in their journey with music and singing.

A buddy of mine turned me on to Dave that had refinished a Fender Strat that I sold him some time ago and the make over was mind blowing, a totally new guitar!! This inspired me to to refinish the H-535. I got in touch with Dave and explained my situation and get his feel for what I was looking to do. He first explained that to refinish a trans black to a lighter finish (trans blue) is a bit challenging but he was totally into taking this on. I sent him a couple images of guitars in the finish that I liked and he responded with a color sample that was exactly what I had in mind and it's a go. During the process Dave kept me up to speed with where he was and updating the time line which really built up the excitement!! I just picked up the guitar last night and when he reviled his work I was totally speechless. He knocked this one out of the park. It was exactly what I wanted, a guitar that I cannot take my eyes off and more importantly my hands!! The set up is dead nuts perfect and he even cleared up a couple hanger scars to boot. In short Dave is a really cool guy that has an incredible talent with making guitars incredible to play and enjoy. I could not thank him enough for expressing my vision to this wonderful Heritage H-535 and really looking forward to working with him resurrecting another. Thanks Dave!! RockiT!!!!!
