I purchased a semi-hollow guitar that I thoroughly enjoyed, but that needed work. Playing…read moreacoustically the guitars action and sound were perfect. Plugged in the electronics didn't work. Well, the pots were supposed to be push/pull, that didn't work, so the tech was going to replace them and redo the wiring. I was visiting Nashville and leaving about a week after. I was told it would take a bit to get the parts because it wasn't an American-made guitar, and I was fine with that. As long as the work was done correctly, and it was shipped to me. I asked for a guarantee or warranty, and did not receive one other than, "well, you could ship it back". My daughter lives in the area so I could bring it with me, but I reasoned that they've been in business for a long time and shoddy work wouldn't allow for this. I told the sales person, Alex, this exact reasoning. Again, I was fine with the handshake deal if the work would be done, and done correctly and I wouldn't have issues down the road--if it was a installation or parts failure issue. All of this happened around the weekend so people weren't in, there were some other issues with the management being out for a few days, etc. I'm fine with all of that. But, I went back to play the guitar before I left. Found the tech changed the strings to a thicker gauge and raised the action to where it was nowhere close to the guitar that I enjoyed initially. I even told Alex that he could leave the thicker strings on just lower the action to where it was before. And, I was supposed to get a phone call the day after I left, because I wanted to know why he did those things. Nothing. I called about four days later and talk with the gentleman who said the guitar was shipped and on the way to me, which was odd considering the tech wasn't supposed to have the parts. I received the guitar. It was packed extremely well, A+ for that. But the tech put on the lighter strings, and instead of adjusting guitar, just lowered the action as far down as it possibly could go, I don't know what his issue is. The strings were horribly out of tune as you could imagine, and once I got them to where I could play at them, all I heard was fret buzz because the action was quite literally on the neck. This was not what I asked. I raised the action myself. I changed the strings again, played we'll acoustically, but the output from the pickups seemed off. It was extremely high output and every sound that came no matter what setting I had on my amp was distorted and overdriven--not in a good way. The knobs didn't work, volume didn't work, tone didn't work, the pick up selector switch sometimes worked, and it sounds horrible through an amp. Just shoddy work. Exactly what I was afraid of, exactly what I asked not to have done, exactly what I wanted assurances that would not happen. I received no follow up, Alex has still never talked to me after he took my money, and I'll be seeing my local guitar tech to switch out the pots correctly or at least look at the wiring because that doesn't seem to be right either. What was an average deal on this guitar will cost me maybe $150-200 more to have it fixed. Had I lived in the area, I would be there until it was done right. I do not recommend this shop, while the folks seem nice, you want to have a nice guitar, and I have one I can't play. If I hadn't said anything, it'd totally be on me. But I did, and there's no excuse. Am still waiting on a follow up, and if anyone wants to contact me, they may.

When Kim Sherman took the reigns in 1998, she raised the bar from Richard Cotten's little corner hideaway into a world class guitar shop. Her warmth and Kentucky charm was blended with her vast knowledge of guitars, artists and the know how to suite every player's needs at any price range. That's no small fete. But, she did it by treating every buyer as special regardless of the size of their pocketbook. Placing goodness and honesty over the value of the dollar, her adoring fandom grew. This year, she was able to expand her inventory to include rare masterpieces from boutique makers from the world over by her partnership with London-based The North American Guitar. And, rather than losing the identity of her great shop where genuine warmth and Nashville courtesy always reigned supreme, she carefully chose her expanded staff to ensure her philosophy was not lost. Her inventory is now world class. But, you still feel like a valued guest and a member of her guitar family. Sound corny? Check it out for yourself. Her shop is a gem by any name. It's still Kim's fabulous corner of the guitar universe, but, bigger and better. To quote Kim, her single goal is "to just do right by my customers." And, that she does, as she has for 22 years, and will likely continue to do as long as there are guitars and players who need them.
