My hand-me-down acoustic guitar met Kip and his fantastic crew at Starr Guitars months before I…read moreever stepped foot into their workshop thanks to my boyfriend, who informed me that Starr Guitars was the unparalleled in the guitar maintenance and service department. They gave my guitar more TLC in the few weeks at their shop, than I have in the three years I've been in possession of it. Passion doesn't even begin to describe the labor of love these guys have for their work. I recently visited their workshop, and I left with my head swimming. From a tune up in the workshop to creating a custom piece or nailing the accurate color paint job, these guys truly know how to cater to the needs and desires of their customer base. They truly love what they do, they genuinely care about each of those guitars that cross the threshold, and do their utmost to provide their clientele with an exceptional customer service experience. Although the staff at SG are all guys, I did not feel the least bit excluded or unwelcome. This isn't some Old Boys' Club where the womenfolk aren't welcome. I not only felt welcome, but I felt like family. Even as a novice, I left feeling like a rock star! Like finding the perfect hair stylist, finding a stellar luthier is equally difficult to find. Orlandoans and central Floridians, listen up! Bottom Line: If you have a guitar that needs work, take your baby to SG. They will welcome you into the family and give you honest feedback on what needs to be done. The SG Folks won't jerk you around and waste your time on shoddy work or selling you additional items or unnecessary services.

They are also a custom guitar shop and can build you custom guitars from the ground up including paint jobs. I have found Kip and the crew to be super friendly and very knowledgeable. I have had them work on 3 of my guitars and have been very satisfied with the work. I have also had friends take their guitars in and also experience excellent work. Save yourself the trouble of getting crappy work done at guitar center. These guys can fix any issues that guitar center creates. Summary: Excellent service, very reasonable prices, super friendly knowledgeable staff.
