Left my Jackson guitar with Woody to set up, clean and restring today. Will get it back tomorrow…read moreall juiced up and ready to jam. Yes - I can restring a guitar, but having Woody to do it with the setup and cleaning I save a lot of my time and the cost is low. I need my strings changed often (4 guitars) and this is the way I want to go. Picked up a tool set (screw gun 24volt) battery and charger the other day for a great price. Used it to run about 40 metal to wood screws on my old tin roof. I credit doing this to my roof and it not being damaged during hurricane (tropical storm) Zeta run through Marion today. Saved a ton of money on this tool set and got the job done. Thanks Woody ! See you tomorrow with another guitar needing works

They took my Ibanez that had a fret buzz and high action and turned it into a great guitar. Now…read moreit's so easy to play. Great job!!! I'll have to bring you guys my Eastman and get it set up too.

This cool shop in the Grove Arcade is making some cool tunes and some cool instruments. This guy…read morehas invented his own musical instrument. It's like a guitar, or a dulcimer, that's made compact and out of wood with steel strings. It sounds like it's tuned so that it's fairly easy to play. When we went by checking out his store, the dude cranks up his Woodrow and puts on a little concert. It's hard to miss while walking through the central corridor of the Grove Arcade. The shop is well lit, and the products are displayed thoughtfully. I could tell that each of these instruments are handmade, as he had a sort of workshop going to work on these instruments.

These are great instruments easy to play for all ages!! Everybody is intrigued when they see my…read moreWOODROW.

When I tried to speak with the shop guy (proprietor?) about a kora (West African stringed…read moreinstrument), he was immediately rude, impatient, arrogant, insulting. In addition, he responded the same way to my wife when she tried to ask him legitimate questions about the instrument. Both my wife and I have played kora for decades and I was genuinely interested in purchasing this instrument for her. The shop guy was only concerned that we may break strings on the instrument or tune it up to the pitch at which it was designed to be played. We were deeply insulted by the treatment we received and just left the shop, disgusted. To whomever has the kora there on consignment, my condolences--this guy drives away potential buyers.

Always a joy to stop here!!!! Wonderful instruments everywhere and a very knowledgeable team!read more

I had been in here once before on vacay and loved it, but was just tire-kicking at the time. They…read morewere awful nice regardless. This last visit, David showed me a previously loved Deering Sierra tenor banjo they had in on consignment. It was awesome, and I walked out with yet another instrument under my arm for what I thought to be a very fair price. I agree with the other review here; could you find a beginner uke (or nice guitar for that matter) at a slightly lower price at a big box music store? Perhaps. Will you be getting the personal customer service from knowledgeable employees while supporting a wonderful small business in Black Mountain? I think not. Stop by and take a look. It's a great little store and I didn't feel pressured in the slightest. Great experience overall.
