I all but gave up on the thing until my friends told me about Cranky's. For a very reasonable fee, Greg worked on the frets, tremolo, tuning heads, saddles, and gave it a thorough cleaning. She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!

Instead of offering a refund, he asked me to service the amp at home, advice that could have caused me to seriously electrocute myself. My local fender-certified tech was appalled by the amateur quality of his handiwork and refused to take the risk of repairing it because he could not guarantee that he could repair it safely. I like when my amp techs are honest, competent, and ethical. Be forewarned: this guy is none of those things. Go elsewhere.

Before charging me any money, Gary suggested trying a low-dough remedy which I tried. The issue persisted so I contacted Gary on Christmas Day via email. He got back to me very quickly and was able to accommodate a last second repair just in time for a gig I had. Not only that but the expert repair that he performed was done AHEAD of schedule and at a VERY reasonable rate. I definitely recommend Gary for your guitar maintenance and repair needs. He's friendly, trustworthy and knows what he's doing. If you're in the Pepperell, Ashby, Townsend, Lunenburg, Fitchburg, Ashburnham areas, do yourself a favor and give him a try. I think you'll be impressed. Thanks Gary!

I came in and Ted immediately recognized my voice and my need. He pointed me to one of the cheapest guitars and when I heard the tune of it (compared to my old one) I knew I had to have it! I was so eager to take it home I almost forgot to grab a case to move it with. I checked out the soft cases and wasn't really vibing with them and then I turn around and Ted pops out with this feaux alligator skin wrapped hard case, guitar already in it and ready to go. He threw me some picks for free too which I definitely appreciate. I'll be returning for any musical needs of mine & definitely recommend speaking with Ted if you need clarification or help with anything :) thanks so much
