My sister had dropped some kind of heavy object onto my acoustic guitar so there was a dent that…read morecracked through on the side of it. I took it to a different instrument repair place in town and was told they could do anything and that I should put a sticker on it. I brought it by grassroots next, not wanting to give up hope, and while they weren't able to repair it like new, what they talked with me about then did was cut it out as a sound hole and then refinished the color in a way that you couldn't tell that anything happened. It just looks like I have a neat extra hole on the side to clip a mic in. They have also helped with my electric upright bass, so when it comes to my stringed instruments needing help that I can't give, I always bring them here!

Locally owned and operated by the same family since 1949, Music Mart is a must stop for any type…read moreinstrument player. They have plenty of sheet music for all types of instrument, from violin to trumpet to drums to guitar, and more. The building it is housed in is one of Fairbanks Historic Buildings. There is a small wooden plaque outside by the door with information about its long history. I just needed some guitar strings, but also found a metal slide and a nice new pic as well as a string winder. There is lots to see here, and as far as guitars go, they primarily sell Ibanez and Yamaha. And not just super expensive ones; there are prices for all budgets and levels. There is also a nice selection of acoustics as well, primarily Ibanez, Yamaha, and also Luna brand, which make ukulele as well, which of course they also sell! The shop may look small, but it is cram packed with pretty much anything you would need for your musical instrument. Prices are reasonable, and the people are helpful. Maybe skip Amazon today and head to a place where they have a history with your town and want to serve the customer. They also do instrument repairs, have orchestra and band rentals, and are open daily 10-6, and closed on Sunday. Highly recommend for all your musical instrument needs!
