(Re-posting my review here that I wrote on Facebook from March 2020)**…read more Just purchased a wonderful vintage Ramirez from Rich. He is the guy to visit if you're looking for a fine instrument, seriously, I mean this, he is the guy you want if you're looking for pristine condition instruments at honest prices with transparent and thorough descriptions. A skilled luthier, he sets up most of is instruments himself, and all around ensures they are in prime condition (both in look and sound). He is honest, straightforward and incredibly helpful. If you get to visit his studio, he gives you time alone to discover the instruments and all around ensures that the buying experience is a pleasure from the time you walk in to the time you walk out with your new axe in hand. Thank you Rich, I look forward to enjoying my new guitar for many years. UPDATE: August 2020: After months of playing my guitar the I acquired from Savage back in March, one of the tuning machine gears stripped out (from normal wear, as these are original hardware from nearly 50 years ago). Rich was available via both email and phone. He took time to consult me on replacing the hardware including back and forth communications as I had questions and uncertainties. He is there to help with ongoing service over the course of owning the guitar. Highly recommended!

I haven't been to this guitar center in almost 18-years, not because I don't like them but because…read morethey are about an hour away from me now. I used to live in this neck of the woods and would visit this store frequently. Since we were in the area, I wanted to stop back in for old-times sake. The store was orderly and clean, and they have a great variety of instruments to choose from. I was actually looking for an Ovation acoustic guitar and they had one; unfortunately, it was a 12-string. The staff member that was working there pointed me in the right direction to find one though, which was great; thank you for that! I am interested in upgrading to a newer keyboard and noticed they have several Yamaha, Korg, Nord, Roland, Moog, and Casio options on display, most notably were the Yamaha Montage M8 & M6, and a used Korg Juno. I would have really been interested in testing out the Korg Grand Stage X or a Korg Kronos 88. They have a great enclosed room for some of the higher-end electric guitars ($2,000+) and separate room for the acoustic guitars. This is a great way to sample different guitars and really take in the sound to see if it's the right choice for you. I noticed that most of the new or higher end guitars are all locked to the wall hangers, so you need to ask for assistance if you want to try something out. Most of the lower end models and used guitars are not locked but also not setup or tuned. I sampled three Hollow body Gretsch guitars that I thought looked great, and they were out of tune and the action was wacky. Not the end of the world but I play all the time and when I'm trying something out and it's not setup properly I hang it back up and move on. I'm not going to spend $600+ on something that I have to spend time setting up or pay someone to setup. I also noticed they were selling an EVH Wolfgang Special for $1,200 but it was missing its chrome nut locks, Yikes! A new set will cost you about $20. I ended up purchasing a D'Addario Reflex Capo for $22. I've never had one of these and always wanted to learn a song or two using a capo. This one is durable, adjustable, can be used on electric or acoustic guitars, and has two built-in pick holders which is great. All-in-all, it was a great visit and I would definitely shop here again. If you are a newbie to buying a guitar, I would recommend bringing someone with you that has more experience to ensure you get a guitar that is setup and is worth your hard-earned money before you go all-in.

I noticed this place gets bad reviews but we had a good experience but we only bought one small item.
