    This appears to be more of a lesson studio and setup/repair shop than an instrument dealer…read more Lessons seem to be performed right in the main shop as one young lady was struggling to make chord changes while the instructor was giving her positive encouragement. The gentleman giving the lesson appeared to be both patient and kind, a necessity with beginner students. He told us to let him know if we needed anything, we acknowledged/thanked him and quickly browsed the shop to see what might be of interest. While there's a Gibson Acoustic, an aging Ovation 12 string Acoustic and a somewhat damaged Carvin bass on display, most of the guitars seem to be of "Beginner" quality. For instance, maybe I didn't look in the right place, but I did not see any Fender guitars that weren't squire's, nor did I see any Gibson electrics. I did see an Epiphone, a Hondo, a couple Jasmine's and so on. There are also several other stringed instruments, violins, upright basses and the like. Some were repaired and on display, and others were in various stages of repair. All in all, the shop seems to be geared toward the beginning and budding musicians looking for entry level instruments and someone to teach them how to play. Absolutely nothing wrong with that model. I do hope to stop in again the next time I'm in Pittsboro.

    It's a small shop and appears to be for lessons and lower end guitars primarily, but Tony Sullivan…read moreis an exceptional luthier and works on all string instruments. He has done amazing work for me on several electrics, a world class nylon string that I really goofed up which he brought back to life, and even my banjo. He is one of the most knowledgable and talented luthiers I've ever met, and his rates are very fair and the turnaround time is always reasonable. First Rate!

    I have been in this store many of times, looking for a certain guitar that I never find. That is…read morenot the point of this comment. The point is, these workers never even speak to you if you walk in or help you unless you have a 3 piece suit on. They must associate clothing with money. Even though I own most of the Gibsons and Martins they have in the store. I've learned and spoke to others as well. I will NEVER buy a guitar or anything small to a pick from this store. Horrible customer service, and to be honest just disrespectful to people who would buy something from them.

    I had an experience similar to MuddyH20. I live in NC about 2 hours from Casino guitars. I drove…read moredown to see what they had. I didn't see Baxter or Johnathan, but I did meet Shawn. He was a very nice and personable guy. I'm an older guy now approaching 70 yrs old. I been playing guitar for 58 of those years. If I Wanted I could purchase any of the guitars in the shop. After returning home I sent an email inquiring about trading a guitar(nice high end guitar). They did a whole youtube video about taking trades. The response I received was a BLANK email. I thought this may have been sent by mistake so I resent it. Again a blank email response. I felt this was rude and disrespectful. I'm a big boy and could take if they didn't want my trade, but the no response thing was not cool. Maybe 2yrs. later I sent an email about a custom shop Gretsch. Since they are part of Fender I thought they may be able to help. In this case I receive no response at all. I seems a lot of people have had great experiences there, but this has been my experience. I've chased them about as far as I am willing. I wish them the best and Shawn as I said came across as a nice guy, but I have since bought 3 nice guitars and they did not come from Casino. I would rather support a local shop. There aren't many left, but a written response would have garnered more respect than a Blank email or no response at all. Just my experiece.
