A couple of weeks ago I found an acoustical guitar on line that I have been searching for some…read moretime. Challenge was, it was damaged. There was a significant split on the lower bout that ran from the waist and then made a slight turn to the left and headed to the soundboard near the neck. The split was bad enough that you could see the light in the photo come thru the crack when you looked at it thru the sound hole. It was kind of scary. Neither the top or bottom appeared damaged but it had to be a heck of a drop or bump to have it split the way it did. The price was attractive and being a risk taker, I bought it and brought into Grumpy's for an assessment... Back story: I returned to NM from TX about a year and a half ago. In TX I was a long time customer of Guitar Tex and once I found them, the staff there were the only ones I trusted with my guitars. Once I bought the damaged guitar, I looked long and hard for a luthier here in Alburquerque and finally settled on Grumpy's. I took my prize in hand and spent a bit of time getting a detailed assessment from Mr, KB: I was convinced, I left the guitar in his hands. In the end, Mr. B did an excellent job: the repair was clean, stable and he walked me thru every step, and handed me my prize and it sounded really, really good. Great work and pricing. The completed repair was exactly what I was looking for... I know the repair was a challenge, but the guitar was returned to me looking very good, felt great and sounding wonderful. Nothing like a small shop, with an experienced and thoughtful luthier! A great deal all around. Thank you, Kevin! I'll be back as needed and I recommend this shop without reservation.

Kevin greeted us at the door. (He keeps the door locked during business hours due to some issues he had.) He took a look at the problem and fixed it on the spot, no charge. After we left, my son and I both had the same reaction: He's not grumpy at all. A few months later, the neck pickup on the same guitar wasn't working. We left it overnight at Grumpy's and Kevin replaced the selector switch with a higher quality one than what was originally in there. I'll soon be taking into Grumpy's a Les Paul of mine that has an issue with the bone nut that needs addressing. I have no reservations in recommending Grumpy's for guitar repair.

This place was hard to get customer service and staff work attire was not worn to show they are staff. The public restroom were dirty and no working soap dispensers and the hallway to the restroom had boxes on left side along the wall. At first I thought we are in the inventory room but we followed the sign for restrooms. My nephew was looking for a pedal but they were slim selection but the staff offered to order product but we declined. Looking at their products was looking very disorganized and sloppy in the display. Even the staff felt bad how the displayed looked and muttered the place was in bad shape.

I go into this store once a week for my lesson. The store is stocked with all sorts of musical supplies, books, and instruments. The store is always clean and the staff and owner have always been nothing but friendly. There have been times where my instrument needed some adjustments, and Miles has been right on whatever issue I may be having. Over the last year, they've made some expansions, especially in the service department. I've even bought two instruments from them, and I've sold back one instrument. I'm even grateful for the few restrooms that they have. They are always clean. It's a great store!

He has an inventory that could be the best in the southwest. If you need a setup or repair, he did mine on the spot.
