It's been almost a year and I'm getting better and better. I'm always welcomed by the front desks who greet me with a smile, and I'm always helped by the owner's son. The owner is enthusiastic every time a new customer walks in and I'm always happy when I'm there. Being comfortable is what I've always needed especially with stage fright and with their open space, I've been able to gather some perks of singing when others are around. Overall the atmosphere provided is very cooperative and helpful. Thank you and I can't wait for my next lesson.

He leveled the frets, adjusted the custom nut, saddle, pins and worked on the back of the neck. It's the best it's ever sounded with a deep residence for a Martin! It never sounded like that before. Ted at TC Guitars made it playable and a joy to pick up! Next, I got my 1978 Ovation 1618 for a tuneup. This amazing 48 year old guitar sounds great and easier to play after Ted's skilled hands made it right. This guitar is a stunner for almost 50 years old and now I really enjoy it! Any guitar I get, even a new one, I will have him tune it up for me! Thank you, Ted!

No answer after numerous calls, and his voicemail says "leave a text message." I assume the owner means text them to make inquiries so I do. Their response? "I don't know come look."

They directed me to Dan Atkins (luthier), who I now call as my Guitar Doctor/Chiropractor. Because of the sense of trustworthiness from Gottschalk's, I not only took one guitar for repair, but all five of my vintage and new acoustic guitars! Dan did an amazing job in a short time assessing needs and adjusting the necks/action, fixing cracked headstock, replacing broken tuning keys, restringing, and replacing a broken pick-up jack with a new part. Dan was also genuine about what damage would cost more than the value of the guitar and what repairs were worthwhile, and his fee was reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend Gottschalk Music Center and Dan Atkins, Luthier/Guitar Chiropractor

I've been taking lessons for a couple of months now, and Charlie's encouraging attitude and easygoing style make me genuinely look forward to every session.
