I was looking for a place to have some work done, every time I walked into a big name store I got…read morethe vibe the tech didn't want to work on my gear. Probably because he was getting paid x dollars an hour either way. Meeting and having work done by Ted was exactly the opposite experience. He took the time to explain what he was going to do (or not do if not needed). After it was done he explained what my guitar could still use, and what I personally could do with brief instructions on how to do it... I can promise you the guitar center tech guys wont tell you how to save money like that. Hell, they were trying to convince me that nylon strings were too hard for me to string up lol. (true story) I could go on and on, I brought in a dirty guitar that had been sitting in a closet for years, and picked up a nice shiny guitar even after I told him not to worry about cleaning it up. Especially since the job I had him do was so small. If you are looking for somewhere friendly and affordable to have your guitar/bass worked on.... you found it. I will without a doubt be using them again.

It's the little things that get tended too that will always separate him from others. Extremely communicative as well!! Which is vital in getting your instrument to ones liking.

Works performed: Multiple bridge swap outs ( Babicz Full Contact and Gotoh GE 1996T with titanium parts to name a few) Fret leveling on multiple guitars Electronics replaced and cleaned on multiple guitars as well.

I still really love this place! I like that its locally owned and operated. Monty is genuinely a…read moregreat guy whose been keeping his business thriving for many years. I really appreciate the individual customer service I get, like having my favorite picks available or checking into ukulele pick-ups and the offbeat jokel. Monty has fixed my guitars when they were broke and he does a great job! He did not charge me for it and I am super appreciative. He has helped me with my ukulele, also. As a music teacher, I really am impressed with my guitar teacher, Rich; he's amazingly well versed at playing (and teaching) many different genres and I am always inspired to practice more. Thanks for having a great place with quality and personality for music and lessons!!

I have already made a comment on yelp about Monty's music. A few weeks ago my luthier I use for my…read more21 guitars and 7 bass's need their yearly string change and setup. I thought of Monty's, I called asked if he does setups and in a short response, yes, asked how much if I bring in my strings, and he got weird same price, strings, no strings, real short and a little upset about asking more than one question. I know how to set up guitars, just too lazy. I will save money this way.

The amazing part of…read moreworking with these guys has been how they have adapted to meet the new challenges of working in a COVID environment. One boys takes drum lessons, and the other takes Guitar. Both of my boys now conduct their weekly musics lessons online! I'm amazed at how the instructor can use Skype to give coaching with the same level of quality of being there in-person. Truth be told - I think we almost prefer the convenience of the in home lessons. Great job Arik and Kurt - we are happy to support your business. Thanks for all you do for the kids!

TODAY - I am contacted with an explanation that "I honestly thought you were probably a good person but I felt a dislike towards me right away. That energy was truly difficult for me to deal with." His "concerned" response concluded with this: "PS. I once had a doctor do surgery on my knee. I really disliked him (really this guy was a jerk) but I knew he was an expert..... My knee works great again. :)" Since 12/23/2014 (again five months after my initial review) - the Owner has contacted me several times via personal email 3-4 and 1x telephone (actually left a message) - surreptitiously attempting to convince me to edit/delete or otherwise alter my review. I find the Owner's contact inappropriate and borderline harassing. I rejected his offers of a refund as that is not the intent of my review - rather to advise others of my experience. The Owner provided a service- and was compensated for his service. My opinion is this Owner does not take kindly to those with opposing/differing views. Unprofessional and inappropriate boundaries.
