Finding a reputable guitar repair shop in the Shenandoah Valley has been quite the challenge over…read morethe last 10+ years. After many unsuccessful "repairs" and services by the other guys I began learning to take care of my own instruments. But when I purchased a used Gibson that needed help beyond my abilities, I began the search for a luthier once again. Thankfully, Danny had crossed my path just a few weeks earlier. After reading his impressive resume via his website and having conversation with him, I decided to take my new guitar to him. He truly is a luthier. His attention to detail and his willingness to communicate about his services are second to none. After a few days with my guitar he had it playing and sounding like it should have been straight from the factory. I am someone who is always willing to pay for quality, service, and convenience. Thanks to the Fret Boss I received all three and walked away with all arms and legs in tact.

I am visiting from Texas and Jeremy gave me a great price on a Martin dxmae. I couldn't resist so I will be bringing back a guitar to Tx. Did not intend too bc I'm visiting my daughter, a traveling nurse. Driving back to Tx with my Martin. Small town feel with friendly service. If you haven't stopped in, I would recommend a visit. You could walk out with a guitar like myself. It was fun just to hang around and try a variety of brands, especially the guitars that were out of my price and league. Houston, we need this kind of guitar shop and service. We have guitar center back home, which I like, but this place blew me away. Ya'll try them out.

My hubby's a bass player and he loved trying the uprights and acoustic guitars. I bought him a ukulele (along with a case) here and he has been loving it! The prices were fair and the service was great! There's a small seating area if you want to try out the instruments and jam a little. There's also some great gifts and novelty instruments... we just had to get a kazoo!! I mean, kazoos are a blast and the only thing I can play!! They carry straps, strings, cases and other musical needs. The skeleton in the window playing that gorgeous silver bass is a hoot! What a great shop! If you're in Staunton, this place is a must!

Recently, I took a chain that was really important to me to be repaired. I had no issues, but the…read morechain came back inches longer. I'm not sure if they actually repaired the original chain or gave me a different one. I came back to show them how different it was and was verbally attacked by the male owner of the store. He was incredibly rude, even after I said I was willing to pay what I originally paid over again (which also simply isn't fair). He continued to attack me, accusing me that I switched out the chain and that Hugo Kohl would never do that. Do not take your jewelry here if you want good jewelry repair or you want to be treated like a normal human being! It's not worth it
