They recently helped me re-setup my Tele after I screwed it all up by adjusting the neck on my own. They did great work, and got my guitar back in shape pronto.

So it cracked! Buckdancer's were able to fix the crack (it happened two years in a row) beautifully and did not charge me an arm and a leg to do so - reasonable price! The guys working there are really great. I have had a good experience shopping there over the years for myself or grown children. Highly recommended! Phinneas, the owner, is a very nice man too! PS They gave me some great advice on hydrating gear to protect the guitar going forward as well.

From answering noob questions to letting me peek over their shoulders at the work they really treat you well. I've also bought two of my guitars here and they are really helpful and willing to make recommendations, all in a really lower pressure environment. It's very much a community hiding inside a business, and nothing online can touch it! Bravo!

Nick at Midtown was incredibly friendly and helpful - and rented us a guitar and amp at a very reasonable price. A day later, the output socket was loose, so we drove back, a little nervous about it, and Nick fixed it with a smile (and no charge). From the looks of the other people in the store and the music being made, it's clear that Midtown is for real pros. For the budding musician like my son, Midtown is a friendly place that loves and encourages music. I wish we had a place like this where we live.

Once the customer and his son was done inquiring about the drum set for sale, he turned his attention my way. I was interested in him restringing my guitars at home for my children for Christmas. I set up a time to drop them off and he assured me that he would have them done in a few days after drop-off. Tom also told me about the in-house lessons that he offers. I had a blast looking at all of the instruments on sale and talking to Tom about the local music scene! The prices are reasonable. Nice Shop with Great Customer Service!

Having Matt in the Western Maine/Portland area is a godsend for musicians like myself who live in…read morethe North Conway area of NH. I took my Rickenbacker 4003 bass in to him as I was experiencing some bad fret buzz on the first five frets. Matt diagnosed the problem immediately and then did a full setup and cleaning on the bass (including the electronics) and added on new strings. Matt knew I want as low action as possible for my playing style and he found the perfect middle ground between low action and fret buzz with proper truss rod adjustments. I would recommend Matt to anyone for all of your guitar/bass needs. There's a reason Matt has toured as the guitar tech with groups such as Band of Horses and the Black Eyed Peas. Next up for me will be to take in my 1983 G&L SC-3 which badly needs some cleanup and love.
