I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.

I was also having some issues with the electronics, and he offered some good options for replacing them. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. When I picked up the guitar after all of that work (new frets, pickup, pre-amp, and set-up), RJ spent more than an hour with me making sure the set-up was just the way I wanted. He told me to play it hard for a couple of weeks and come back if there were any issues. Make sure you read the website and understand the process for working with them. This is not a big corporation with a back room full of amateur guitar techs. This is a small business with legit luthiers who do fantastic work.

I used to live in this neck of the woods and would visit this store frequently. Since we were in the area, I wanted to stop back in for old-times sake. The store was orderly and clean, and they have a great variety of instruments to choose from. I was actually looking for an Ovation acoustic guitar and they had one; unfortunately, it was a 12-string. The staff member that was working there pointed me in the right direction to find one though, which was great; thank you for that! I am interested in upgrading to a newer keyboard and noticed they have several Yamaha, Korg, Nord, Roland, Moog, and Casio options on display, most notably were the Yamaha Montage M8 & M6, and a used Korg Juno. I would have really been interested in testing out the Korg Grand Stage X or a Korg Kronos 88. They have a great enclosed room for some of the higher-end electric guitars ($2,000+) and separate room for the acoustic guitars. This is a great way to sample different guitars and really take in the sound to see if it's the right choice for you. I noticed that most of the new or higher end guitars are all locked to the wall hangers, so you need to ask for assistance if you want to try something out. Most of the lower end models and used guitars are not locked but also not setup or tuned. I sampled three Hollow body Gretsch guitars that I thought looked great, and they were out of tune and the action was wacky. Not the end of the world but I play all the time and when I'm trying something out and it's not setup properly I hang it back up and move on. I'm not going to spend $600+ on something that I have to spend time setting up or pay someone to setup. I also noticed they were selling an EVH Wolfgang Special for $1,200 but it was missing its chrome nut locks, Yikes! A new set will cost you about $20. I ended up purchasing a D'Addario Reflex Capo for $22. I've never had one of these and always wanted to learn a song or two using a capo. This one is durable, adjustable, can be used on electric or acoustic guitars, and has two built-in pick holders which is great. All-in-all, it was a great visit and I would definitely shop here again. If you are a newbie to buying a guitar, I would recommend bringing someone with you that has more experience to ensure you get a guitar that is setup and is worth your hard-earned money before you go all-in.
