Both times we had very bad experiences. The first experience made me feel dumb like as if I should know more the process of renting an instrument. The second experience, the gentleman helping me and explaining to me about fixing the instrument, answered the phone mid explaining, seemed to put the person on hold and then literally mid sentence stopped talking and answered the phine again and walked away. Even my child said he was rude. The second person who took over again made me feel dumb as if I should know everything about this instrument. I will not be going back to this store again

Our child genuinely looks forward to each lesson and is now able to play a song from beginning to end with growing confidence. We've also noticed improvements in focus and patience over time.

Only caveats is that it took about a month for the work to get done. I also had to help him find all my stuff as I brought the guitar in a gig bag. Jim is an older gentleman and a bit of an eccentric so keep that in mind while dealing with him. He does have a wonderful selection of acoustic and electric guitars suitable for weekend warriors and beginners. Prices seemed very fair for the pieces I checked out. Overall I recommend him if you're looking to get some work done on your guitar or bass or buy a decent guitar at a great price. Just keep in mind it may take some time to get the work done.
