The store is the absolute best it can be for the space. Asheville makes you want to play outside. A stark difference from living in Florida. He didn't push anything on me. I came in for a travel guitar, as I was regularly running into the problem of having space to bring one. So I'd end up buying a piece of junk from a pawn shop every time I'd travel, then donating it. It wasn't cheap, but he gave me an amazing deal on a journey travel guitar that blew my mind with the ergonomics and design. I looked it up and I walked out the door for less than I could have ordered one directly. He didn't nickel and dime me for some strings, capo and picks either. I think I paid about 20% of what they would have been priced at, had I not bought a $1300 guitar. Most importantly, he was incredibly kind to my family. I am a ball of stress when my kids are in a store with "don't touch" items of high dollar amounts. He even let my son briefly noodle on a fancy Ukulele. He's learning guitar and that one fit him. You can't find that kind of kindness at a big name store. I will always pay a visit to this shop whenever I visit for vacation. Eddie can even give me a call if he'd like to franchise one in West Palm Beach! I'd give 6 stars if I could.

The finished results where just short of miraculous. Every Jamm I go to everyone wants to look at and play this guitar.Their comments and compliments about the full sound and light action(with med.ga.strings) was my opinion all along, but to hear a professional evaluate your instrument is an encouragment. So for exceptional service from a knowledgeable proessional that just happens to be a really nice guy. Randy is your guy. very sincerely Steve Gibson-Asheville,NC

My tablet screen was broken and Jeff offered to repair/replace it, but had never done it before on that particular item and wouldn't guarantee the work. I took my chances with him and he did an excellent job. It is now many years later (2024) and I've had to move to a retirement village where we have an IT department which takes care of most of our IT needs. Unfortunately my old, 5SE iPhone which I need because of manual dexterity problems, couldn't be repaired by the new, young tech and ended up in worse shape than before. The floating Home button cannot be eliminated, the regular Home button which had been difficult to push is permanently stuck. It is now Friday evening and I'll have to wait until Monday to somehow get the phone down to Peak Wireless and have Jeff and his crew work their magic on it.
