A luthier in Tom Lee recommended me this shop as they do not work stainless steel frets. I sent my 10-year main guitar to him, ended up with a refretted guitar with unfinished edges and some bonus scars (hard stabbed by his tools, basically means he actually cannot work with stainless steels unlike what he said) on the neck.... He filled the 2 major dents, which made it look worse. I would rather leave those dents alone. lol. Come on, if you are too old to keep your skills, you better retire.

Good day, I have…read moreknown Ed now for over 8 years and not only is he a wonderful guitar tech, Ed is just simply, a wonderful person. Ed has worked on a number of guitars for me...and continues to do so. Ed not only cares about the quality of the time and effort that he puts into his work, he also is very much concerned about how we, as guitarists, feel about the work he has thus performed on our behalf. A real rarity these days! Ovid, a Roman poet once said, "Make the workmanship surpass the materials..." ...Ed most certainly has fulfilled this criterion. "Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort." John Ruskin Sincerely, Dell

Be careful when you bring them something in for repair. I once bought a rare new Rickenbacker…read moreDakota solidbody guitar from them and one pickup stopped working so I brought it in for repair. When I inquired about it they said they sent it back, never to be seen again. Rickenbacker replacement pickups can be ordered. Another time I bought a new Firebird and it had fret sprout and they said they would fix that. It seemed to take forever and when I finally got it there was a ding in the back that wasn't there before. I brought in a keyboard for repair and they lost the case for the soundboard that was installed in the keyboard. When you bring something in for repair, bring it in bare bones, no strap, strings accessories in the case or they might lose them.

I'm sort of shocked at how bad the reviews for this place are. I'm not saying those experiences…read morearen't valid since they sound legitimate, but I've had good experiences so far at this location and have always had people who were willing to take time to patiently explain to me, a lay person, what I needed to know even when I'm doing things that don't generate a commission (like trying to set up something I ordered and paid for at a different store and had shipped here). I wish I made a note of who helped me so I could give them a shout out. My experience is with what I guess they call "Pro Audio & Recording" gear, maybe different departments are different or maybe I've just been lucky so far.
