Minda also teaches lessons, so I signed right up. Great experience. She's patient, willing to explain things to my engineering brain, and brilliant. More, when it came time to change a string, Minda gave me a lesson. She even let me change a few strings on a harp she was working on. Telling me how to do it, showing me how to do it, then letting me do it but talking me through each step. Finally, doing it on my own but with her watching. Great way of learning. I was able to go home and confidently change the string myself. Five of five stars. And an extra star because she's just so darn nice about it.

I recently took my headless bass there for a set up. I'm SUPER picky when it comes to how my bass…read moreshould feel and play, but Richard absolutely took care of me and then some. Richard was extremely kind and easy to work with and offered for me to try out the bass before I took it home so he could fine tune the action to get it to my perfect height. In the end, he set up my bass with silky smooth low action as requested and I have to say, this bass has never played better! The action was just at that perfect sweet spot where the neck played like butter but high enough to where the notes really sing. Ever since I took it home, I haven't been able to put it down. The bass is just a joy to play and plays the best its ever played since owning it! I swear I'm not exaggerating when I it's just about the best set up I've ever had on this bass. It should be noted I also came in with some issues on the headless hardware that were unique enough to not have an easily searchable answer on google. I told Richard and, after working on my bass, he gave me some tips to try and so far, they've worked like a charm. At no extra charge too! I really cannot recommend this place enough. If you're looking to have any kind of work done on your instrument for a fair price with supberb customer service and expertise, you owe it to yourself to try out Richardson Guitar Works. This place is the real deal!

My husband is in a band and had some work done. The big, tall guy in the shop cant seem to get to work several times a week and if he does he shows up and opens up late. He had our guitar for well over the time frame he should have, wouldn't return calls or texts and never showed up to open the place up for pickup for our instrument! He would tell us he is sick or had car trouble or sometimes never update us. Go somewhere else.

We ended up sending her to the funeral to sing in person, but will put Greenville Ave Studio at the top of our list.

Taking care of potential customers in such a respectful way is a rare thing. Thank you, Aaron
